At half time we were saying that the 2-0 lead could be dangerous as Mourinho had a chance to get them going so we HAD to come out strong in the first 15 minutes of the second half. Yet when we came out it was obvious immediately that no one was taking responsibility, we weren’t clearing the ball in dangerous situations, we weren’t winning 50/50 balls and no one was imposing themselves on the game. I’d love to know what was said in the drsssing room at half-time

That allowed them to get their heads up and we showed, yet again, that when teams do that and have a go, we lose our shape and our heads. And when we concede we then go to pieces completely. There’s a real problem somewhere with this team, whether of mentality, organisation or both when we’re on the back-foot.

Guardiola says he only knows one way to play and of course that’s an exaggeration to a large degree but he doesn’t seem to have the one weapon in his armoury that he needs, which is the ability to shut up shop when necessary and absorb a bit of pressure. We saw Klopp’s team do that in the second half and we’ve seen Mourinho make a career of it. We needed to do that on Wednesday for an hour and today for 45 minutes but Pep doesn’t seem able to do it and serious questions have to be asked of him.

Will never happen whilst he's managing.

He's the most decorated manager of his generation playing the way he does.

It's nice to be diplomatic sometimes, but there's a thousand ways to skin a cat.

Fair enough. Personally studs up on Sergio's ankle is a pen and a red for me but I guess we'll agree to disagree.

It wasn’t even as low down as his ankle!! Everything about that 2nd half is pissing me off.

Aguero should score that header as should Sterling a few minutes later ffs.

Makes me laugh every time I hear this "Laws" bollocks. It's a sport with RULES. Laws can only be made by acts of parliament.

S'funny yer should say that, N. I download a copy of the 'rules' from the FA website and it's as plain as the bald head on Guardiola's shoulders. It sez LAWS OF THE GAME. Rules are there to be broken, Laws are their to be implemented and sanctioned when infringed! If only the Whistling Wankers followed this advice!

Can see were gravvo is coming from , Young did play the ball but his follow through was dangerous play and a penalty and certain yellow card possibly red , the old days of winning th ball and taking everbody and everything with it have long gone.

Just seen it again, and I bet it's a stoner at the other end. No attempt to get his hand out of the way and the ball is diverted out of harms way! He got away with it as the commentators suggest on the clip.

He slipped and was trying to get his head on it. You expecting him in this time frame to try and move his arm while he’s lying on the ground sticking his head out. He not bloody Neo from the matrix mate. Give it up we ain’t getting the decision back. The rules need changing. To what I don’t know.

You're spot on with this. That period after half time was the killer, allowed them to get back in the game. We should have been on it from the start. Should have brought KDB and a foward on to get the game killed off, instead the opposite happened. Poor game management really.

prefer the alternative version , 5-1 win against the Dippers , we beat Spuds at Wembley and then the Rags lose to West Brom on Sunday and we win the title , we then go on to break all premier league records and smash Bayern in the semi-final before playing Barca off the pitch in the final. Typical City :)

The FA can call the rules what they want. They are not Law.

Probably where Im going wrong mate. I would have taken far more of the player then Young did and still been gutted to have conceded a penalty. Different times.

You don’t even need to touch a player anymore for it to be a foul. Red card and penalty anyone who says different is a fool.
 
Ban him from the ground ffs

We aren't getting the decision back, but I bet a penalty is awarded on some ground somewhere before this season ends, if a dozen haven't been given already for similar incidents! It was never gonna be given by the ref today. I just wonder what would have to happen for Atkinson to award City a pen.
