Man I’d love nothing more than to say it’s handball but it’s very far fetched to say it on that one1:37 is a better view, if you concentrate on the ball seems to dip after the arm
Agree with all of thatPersonally I thought Guardiola's approach was utterly fucking spineless. That shoehorning of four central midfielders never fucking works and he gave Liverpool a massive leg up.
Foden was against a 37 year old fullback yet was never instructed to run at him. It's on Pep for me. He showed a depleted team far too much respect. Again.
Notwithstanding all that, the disallowed goal is absolute bollocks. I'd wager any amount of money that if Liverpool score that goal it stands.
But still, Pep has fucked in a similar vain to Porto for me. That XI and setup was totally wrong.
Do you think if Erling had scored that they wouldn’t had checked Var for possible hand ball ?Man I’d love nothing more than to say it’s handball but it’s very far fetched to say it on that one
I don’t think we are scared of anfield as last couple of seasons we have took it to them and got a draw and victory but we did look like rabbits caught in headlights in the first half which gave them confidence because before the game they would have been shitting it but when we came out nervy they went for it . Glad it’s out of the way and it’s no great Shame to lose to a very good Liverpool team who have gone toe to toe with us for 4 seasons . Agree pep give turns too much respect before game though .Think todays loss was a due to a few factors.
First one being that we tend to rock up to Anfield with a sense of fear and play within ourselves. This is a collective issue from the manager the players right down to the fans. We always seem more worried to not lose rather than desperate to win.
Second issue the set up did seem abit odd with KDB just lingering on the right side and no proper RW outlet. Plus as mentioned prior him and Gundo either side of Haaland trying to press.
Third issue no matter what formation or tactics you play when you have 11 elite players on the pitch you still should be able to create some goal scoring opportunities and be able to do the basics at the back, which I feel we failed to do. Far too many players with sub par displays.
All the above added together is never going to end with 3pts. Think it’s best to brush this under the carpet and move forward. Luckily for us the tittle won’t be won or lost after todays display at Anfield. We have another 28 games left to play.
Tbh I think he’s always shite in the big games. He cost us in Madrid last year. He’s a bit of a flat track bully, outside of the boot passes against dross etc. I’m livid about that defending yesterday it literally cost us the game and it was beyond pathetic. You wouldn’t see that on a Sunday morning.Fucking abysmal,but thats the pay off you get with him.He can often be a match winner with his skill but equally a liability with his carelessness/casualness.
but I guess as we had a free kick up the other end we weren't expecting to get caught out that quickly.

de Bruyne’s free kick was every bit as bad and contributory to Liverpool’s goal. Everyone makes mistakes, we made 99 minutes’ worth of them from first to last whistle that contributing to the defeat.Still can’t get over Cancelo’s pathetic defending for their goal.
