Guardiola’s anger about refereeing decisions has been bubbling underneath the surface for much of the season.
But throughout this month he has been unable to keep a lid on his feelings.
Even before the most recent incidents, Guardiola had at least some grounds for complaint.
The Premier League’s Key Match Incidents Panel ruled City should have been given a penalty in a 2-1 loss at Newcastle in November.
Phil Foden was caught by home defender Fabian Schar after he had released a shot, but the VAR did not intervene.
In the same game Newcastle scored a goal which looked like it might be offside, but Bruno Guimaraes was within the 5cm tolerance level.
The more recent decisions were more subjective.
PGMO accepted Semenyo’s goal should not have been disallowed through a VAR intervention at Newcastle in the Carabao Cup. While offside against Haaland was technically correct in law, it was an overstep by the VAR.
The potential red card for Diogo Dalot for a studs-up challenge on Jeremy Doku in the Manchester derby was a borderline call which was influenced by referee Anthony Taylor providing a good description of the incident. As Webb said, if the on-field decision had been a red card that would have stood too.
The Mosquera handball was similar, too. You could make a case for a penalty as the Wolves player had his arms out from the body.
But you could also argue his arms would justifiably be in that position as he slowed down his run to challenge Omar Marmoush.
The annoyance for Guardiola was all these close calls have gone against his side – and they keep adding up.
