Took pity on Brighton in the second half and so did VAR , the penalty/goal was offside in the same phase of play but that little shite who reffed the Dipper game Tierney was on VAR and didnt give it, About time these faceless f*ckers on Var were made to explain their decisions.
Annoying we didnt get the clean sheet our superb defending deserved, centre backs were both superb today and Walker & Cancelo solid defensively , overall excellent performance against a team with plenty of energy who hadnt played for over a week , and loved Pep's reply to Sky about our striker situation , nipped it in the bud.
Our current run of form has been breathtaking just hope we havent peaked to early , difficult to keep this level for the next six months , but if anyone can do it Senor Guardiola is the man.

He'd need to go to a mid ranked team first. Someone like Everton, utd or the Hammers. Prove himself there with a pot or a CL spot. It would be a, er, "massive" jump to go from Brighton to, say, us or Liverpool.

I get what you are saying and I’d bet a large amount on it being offside had it ended in a goal rather than a penalty.
I guess they looked at our back four and looked to see if they moved back into a better shape in the brief time they weren’t classed as attacking our goal.

I really enjoyed that. One world class team vs a very good team. Thought, in their way they were the best team we have played this season.They lack a cutting edge but thats about it.
We played really well front to back but took the foot off the gas a little too much second half. I thought Bernie and Phil were immense. Very very good performance and three points. Thought Pep was as 'energised' as I have seen him in his post match interview.

So how is a pass backwards without any city player touching the ball a second phase?

In your scenario, the person offside has passed the ball through to the player fouled for the penalty.
In the game, there were 3 or 4 passes in between, which was deemed as a second phase of attack.

City had the game won by HT so, after playing mid-week, not entirely surprising City dropped off a bit in the 2nd half.
Don't think the pen should have stood due to an offside in the build up but it kicked City back into gear and they took full control again.
Just got to keep working hard.

Walker & Cancelo booked for their first foul and Veltman their right back was hacking at Grealish all the game and just got warnings everytime as for the Ederson booking the ref was playing to the whinging mard arse southern shandy drinking , Pimms sipping home crowd , bunch of southern wankers booing Grealish everytime he recieved the ball , the same twats will be cheering his every move in an England shirt.
Love the fact their support are delusional enough to think they could get anywher near a top four spot , well today has firmly given them a reality check , know your place Brighton who a decade ago were attracting 6,000 a game , 17th place is a good season for you bunch of dreamers.

I think Potter is a very good manager but managing City is a very different proposition. I think a more prestigious club than Brighton will eventually give him a try but I doubt it will be City.

Because he's never managed at anything other than mediocre/average teams and he's still relatively inexperienced. He would need more experience of managing at a higher level before he took on a world class side.
