Going 1 up from a pen may have helped. Who knows.Doesn't matter if we play like yesterday.

It would have mattered yesterday if city had taken the lead with the penalty, and if our build up play wasn't broken up repeatedly with fouls that should, but didn't get carded.Doesn't matter if we play like yesterday.

All the doom mongering fails to take into account that we conceded goals in the second half because we were forced to chase the game (with yaya being the only defensive midfielder by the end!).....
Most definitely, different team when we take the lead but I put in the thread yesterday it's a hard decision in real time, the keeper clips him slightly. Not stone wall anyway. Even so we capitulated together as a team regardless of the ref.
One day you will give our players and manager the same benefit of the doubt you give to the ref.
Not a stonewall penalty you say?
He kicked his fucking legs out from under him and i can well imagine the response on here had Bravo done that and the penalty been given!
I don't give the refs he benefit of the doubt, yesterday I am though. We got kicked all over and most games up till then these fouls we weren't even getting free kicks, as I said he should of dished out more yellows which might of stopped it but we got the free kicks which we deserved. We then put poor set pieces into the box.
In normal time I didn't think it was a pen, like many people and all the pundits. Only when you watch it in very slow motion you see the keeper foul him, in real time I would say that's quite difficult to see. It was a penalty of course but not as blatant as some of the mad decisions we haven't got this season.
Same applies to you, if you spent more time accepting when players underperform rather than make excuses and blame referees :)
That's all well and good. But the referee determines the tone of the game. We got fuck all yesterday until we were 2 down.
We go 1 up and IT IS a different game. It's hard chasing games.
