Manchester City 2023-24

Manchester City have been a whole different team this season in terms of discipline. As one can see, Man City definitely has a history of being ill-disciplined and have been sent off the pitch with reds over violent behaviour. We can see that the squad in the 1990s was rather rough around the edges and particularly one player – Richard Edghill – has had records of receiving reds over bad behaviour. However, now, the Cityzens are one of the better teams in terms of cards picked up – and definitely much more disciplined than their predecessors! Watch & Bet on Football =>
