I hate the notion that bookings and sending offs shouldn't happen in fear of ruining a game. If it's a card offence then it should be given.
As always, the elite clubs get special treatment. Particularly observable when they meet each other.

Oedegaard has pressed well today but his final ball is awful

There is a reason Grealish and Doku have gone down the pecking order too.

I still fancy a goal in this game which has lacked any clear cut chances

Oh I agree. But giving a soft but correct 2nd yellow in a game like this would make the ref a headline globally for "ruining the game". Human nature wins out.

The players are the ones ruining the game by getting themselves into trouble. 🤷🏼‍♂️

Haaland compromises City's play in games like this. Obviously they're great regardless, but he's not effective here with no space in behind.

I'd sell him for a ridiculous fee and buy Veliz.

It’s not been a great spectacle but Arsenal have carried out their game plan on City and I really wouldn’t bet against them breaking on the counter and nicking this unfortunately
