There’s no such thing as “under the radar” when you’re talking about a club with the most obnoxious fan base and who control half of the football media.

Time to get Saka, Jesus & Ødegaard into the ice bath.
City lost all 3 matches of Rodri’s ban. They’re almost certainly a Rodri injury away from not winning the league.
Buddy, we’re top of the league with a broken Thomas Partey. City LOST all 3 matches Rodri was suspended for.
Perhaps they could make refereeing a desirable pathway for high achievers. When Kevin de Bruyne takes home about 200x what the best referees get you can’t be surprised there’s a shortage of kids dreaming of being refs.
You could make a compilation of these challenges happening to Saka. Guy had the shit kicked out of him again tonight with no protection. 5 fouls, 0 bookings.
This kind of thing happens to Saka on a regular basis.
The common rebuttal has always been “would you want to hear from the ref if we’ve had a boring game?” Which basically goes back to them really only being asked to justify bad calls.
Instead they should just live broadcast all VAR communications on TV (I don’t think it’d be practical to do in the stadium), that way every decision has context and nothing can be hidden.
I think it’s fair to say we deserve accountability, not justification.
