[The perfect fumble]

There's only one player in that situation who should have been booked and it wasn't Dias.

I'm sure we all remember this....

He's not the only one to fall for their shit. If the media start calling them out more consistently like they did yesterday the refs will stop giving them, we've seen it before with the likes of Bale, Januzaj etc.

Yeah, it's irritating as hell that they don't get called out as cheats as much as they should. The media have a much bigger say on how football is officiated than I'm comfortable with really.

Agreed, but unfortunately that's the way it is, they've already gotten the handball rule changed twice this season.

Great win by the chaps......Salad is a confirmed cheat/diver which we knew anyway.....
My main concern is the penalty issue,.......we dont get many but when we do we fcuk it it big style...
3 penalties missed against the Scouse.......
I suggest we contact Balotelli and have him on the bench and bring him on for penalties only.....
Imagine if the game hinged on that penalty..or any other game.....
Or maybe Ederson should take them....at least he would hit the target......or Bernado.....
This is a genuine problem.....

Totally agree
It’s time we let Ederson have a go.
Brazilian goalie Ceni amassed over 130 career goals for his club. He was a set piece specialist. Most were pens but I think a substantial number were free kicks too.
Please let Ederson have a go Pep.
It would cement his legendary status no doubt...

We were just better than them, it was that simple. Some aspects stood out to me.

1. I have never seen Salah so quiet in a big game, Zincho played him superbly.

2. Dias is human, his mistake though rather than damaging us, spurned us on and the togetherness we showed stood out.

3. Gundog. Missed the penalty, scored twice and never stopped with his passing , he never hid, a real testament to his character.

4. Raz made one of the "worlds" best full backs look like a sunday league player when he ran at him at him and he broke his hoodoo. An important moment

5. Rodri was immense, he dominated the midfield, made important interceptions, passed the ball intelligently and was a real physical presence, He plays very differently to Ferna but on yesterdays showing he is the heir.

6. The whole team worked so hard, everyone played their part and whilst some had games that didnt show them at their best, you can not fault any of them for their work rate and willingness to press, close down, tackle and support each other

and 7

Fuck me maybe Pep was right in what he said about Phil and Messi. He was magnificent. He is so talented it is scary,. His goal was Messi like, but what impressed me more than that, was the last minute he was still chasing back and working hard. That is ingrained in him now and he is one of our very own. He is defo making a lot of the opinionated journos who thought he would never get a chance to play/should go out on loan look very silly. I loved how Ederson ran the full length of the pitch to celebrate his goal with him, it meant a fucking awful lot to them all.

Its a nice feeling on a monday morning, lets hope our heads on the Swansea game, as their records to be broken and silverware to win.

Come on City we could win the lot again

Excellent post pal, although I’d say the only proviso for me is that I‘m sorry but just couldn’t include FFS in your point 6, he most definitely didn’t run his balls off.

Salah will never be respected by anyone but Liverpool fans because of his cheating. He has been a stain on the game in my view which is sad because he is a brilliant player. VAR has escalated cheating by players because making decisions based on slow motion replays is a flawed process where every contact looks like a foul. Of course Salah is not the only one but he is the biggest diver with Martial a close second.

You missed out Mane who must be joint 1st with Salah.

 

[Rammy Blue]

I, personally, have been critical of Rodri as over the last season and a little of this he's been unsure in his play and even ponderous.

However (and I don't know if it's a coincidence), with a change of system and Ferna not besides him, he's developed his own identity in that midfield and is very much a General now.

Whilst he's certainly no prime Fernandinho, I'm beginning to warm to this new 2.0 Rodri, immensely!

I hope his purple patch stays permanently.

Having a solid Dias and Stones behind him is what has made the difference for Rodders, he’s stopped panicking about what’s going on in the centre of defence and concentrated on his own game.

Alisson leaves the dressing room...

“I am just going outside and may be some time”

Yes, let Eddie take our pens. He'll be told, "Score if you can or at least kill the keeper".

Just remembered Dias picking Zinchenko up by his head to move him along the wall. Bloody brilliant!
