Man City rookie mocked

A serious mistake from young goalkeeper James Trafford caused Manchester City to lose 0-2 at home at Etihad Stadium against Tottenham Hotspur.

Trafford, who returned to Manchester City from Burnley, is expected to be the future of the team.

On the evening of August 23, in the second round of the Premier League, in the 45+1 minute before halftime, Trafford made a mistake when he tried to make a risky pass in the penalty area instead of clearing the ball to clear the danger.

Tottenham midfielder Joao Palhinha took advantage of this mistake to make it 0-2. Trafford's careless handling quickly spread on social media, with many comments criticizing and mocking the new Man City player, as well as Pep Guardiola's decision to use the player.

Jon Champion described it as “an incredible mistake” in The Times . Not only did it cost Manchester City their loss to Tottenham Hotspur, it also raised questions about Trafford’s ability to move from Burnley to the Etihad this summer.

Pep Guardiola's frustration with Trafford was evident in the way he looked down after the incident. Commentator Jim Beglin on NBC Sports commented: "The way Pep looked down after that incident, I wonder if he was thinking that Ederson should be played. This decision clearly backfired."

Against Tottenham, Trafford was chosen by Pep to replace Ederson. Although Ederson recovered from his illness and sat on the bench, the Man City captain still did not use the Brazilian goalkeeper.
