Pep Guardiola admitted he was angry with Rodri after the influential midfielder was sent off in Manchester City\u2019s 2-0 win over Nottingham Forest.<\/p>\n

The Spain international was dismissed early in the second half of Saturday\u2019s Premier League clash at the Etihad Stadium after raising his hands to the neck of Forest\u2019s Morgan Gibbs-White.<\/p>\n

Rodri protested at the time, and there was a delay before referee Anthony Taylor\u2019s decision was upheld by VAR, but Guardiola claimed there could be no excuses for his conduct.<\/p>\n

The City manager said: \u201cHopefully Rodri will learn. The game was perfect with 35 minutes gone and after it became chaos.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s not our responsibility, that\u2019s for sure, but Rodri has to control himself and his emotions. I can get a yellow card but Rodri can\u2019t. I don\u2019t play. The guys inside (the pitch) have to be careful.<\/p>\n

\u201cI said at half-time, \u2018Be careful guys, relax, control your emotions\u2019. Unfortunately, Rodri could not do it. Now we have to accept the decisions.\u201d<\/p>\n

Asked if he was angry with Rodri, Guardiola said: \u201cYes. I don\u2019t like to play with 10 for our faults. He has apologised.\u201d<\/p>\n

Despite being critical of Rodri, Guardiola was not happy with the way the game was controlled by Taylor.<\/p>\n

As well as Rodri\u2019s red card, there were 11 bookings during the game, including one for Guardiola himself.<\/p>\n

Guardiola said: \u201cThe referee changed the game.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor the first 35 minutes, it was absolutely not (a bad game). What changed? What happened after 2-0, it\u2019s not down to us. You have to ask the other ones but I don\u2019t know if they will hang up the phone.\u201d<\/p>\n

City had put themselves into a comfortable lead with goals inside the first 14 minutes from Phil Foden and Erling Haaland.<\/p>\n

After Rodri\u2019s departure, the hosts needed to change approach and Guardiola was pleased with the outcome.<\/p>\n

He said: \u201cOur game in the first 35 minutes was beyond good, how we find our men free, it was really, really good.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was a lot of minutes we had to defend, and we conceded one chance in the 94th minute. We didn\u2019t concede anything else, against a team who won at Stamford Bridge and created problems at Arsenal and Old Trafford.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m really satisfied and pleased for all of us.\u201d<\/p>\n

Forest manager Steve Cooper had conflicting thoughts about his side\u2019s performance.<\/p>\n

He said: \u201cWe had a really poor start in terms of goals conceded. We knew the level of the challenge we faced here \u2013 it doesn\u2019t get any tougher \u2013 and the two City goals were of great quality, typical City goals.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut we\u2019d planned for that. It was a repeat tactic and to let it happen as easily as they did \u2013 if they were going to score I wanted it to be with real difficulty.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe game changes with the red card. That we had a second half played in City\u2019s half I have mixed feelings about.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou rarely get an opportunity to have that territory here. Even more experienced teams don\u2019t get anywhere near that but we need to make more of these opportunities. We have got to be more productive.\u201d<\/p>\n
