Absolutely and it will be. The press has changed with Haaland. We’re learning on the job.From the standpoint of conceding 3 more the week before. To be clear I'm not saying anyone is setting up shop and living in our end. I'm saying when someone manages to get there regardless of how rare and whether its on a counter, off a set piece, whatever, we seem vulnerable. It needs to be cleaned up.
Aside from him releasing the ball because he was leaving his area, what do you think Ederson could have done more on?
The triple deflection on the own goal or the power header in the corner from an unmarked centre back?
He made a handling error prior to the free kick that led to the own goal. Guilty.Sorry but he was shite today. Fumbled an easy ball that led to the first goal, didn't command his area and got lucky on the disallowed goal he rolled straight out at a Palace player. It didn't help that the defenders in front of him were playing like Pep had just pulled them from Mary D's and asked if they fancied a game today.
He made a handling error prior to the free kick that led to the own goal. Guilty.
He didn’t get lucky with the rolling out of the ball though. It’s not allowed to do what the Palace player did.
KDB made loads of shite passes today. Ederson seems to be taking more flak though.
Ederson made one mistake. Generally that leads directly to a goal. Today, it was indirect. We still should have defended the free kick.He was poor as were others. I haven't read all the posts but I don't think he's taking the most flack, but he had a bad game. It's a fine line, was the ball still under his control or had he released it? Irrelevant now as it was disallowed anyway. MOTD asked if Haaland was lucky not to be sent off for the high boot that caught the Palace defender. I thought it was more the defender stopped his head towards his foot and the ball, but maybe some refs would have preferred nudged it more harshly. It's not his fault he has such long legs lol.
It was a pass, without question, the only issue or contentious part for me was whether Stones intended to pass it into the net, or pass it to the Terminator, I’ll go with whatever John says."Fortuitous" from Stones, haha, it was a great pass.
No way that was a pass hahaIt was a pass, without question, the only issue or contentious part for me was whether Stones intended to pass it into the net, or pass it to the Terminator, I’ll go with whatever John says.
Ha, watch how he plays the ball mate, it was a pass, like I said, the only issue was Stone’s intent, only he knows the true answer, if he says he intended it then I’d like to see anyone prove otherwise, if he says he tried to pass the ball into the net then fair do’s, it’s all on JS’s intent.No way that was a pass haha
Vieira's not a "dickhead" though, that's really unfair, like many/most PL managers playing City, he plays to the ability of his squad's ability, they don't have our resources, or player our ability, and in the first half today we got schooled, we were shocking, it wasn't pretty, but it was mostly not pretty by City.Fuck your shit Vieira you dickhead.
the usual crowd are gunning for Ederson and have been for a while now. They will ignore any defensive errors or circumstances because they now want him to fail so they have someone to dig outHe made a handling error prior to the free kick that led to the own goal. Guilty.

Great that we changed, and eventually turned up in the second half to be the team we are capable of being, but slagging someone off because they play a different style is all very "entitled", we have to earn the right to win, and today, despite an abject first half, we did exactly that, so let's celebrate the fact.

The fact its under offside is irrelevant to this instanceOnly caught MoTD as was working but thought it was strange they were talking about the ball not being fully released.
Had a mooch around the IFAB website and from what I read under rule 11.2 the ref was spot on as technically it comes under offside.
A player in an offside position at the moment the ball is played or touched* by a team-mate is only penalised on becoming involved in active play by:
Edit: Meant to add if that wasn’t an obvious action to prevent Eddy from playing the ball then I don’t know what the fuck is.
- interfering with play by playing or touching a ball passed or touched by a team-mate or
- interfering with an opponent by:
- preventing an opponent from playing or being able to play the ball by clearly obstructing the opponent’s line of vision or
- challenging an opponent for the ball or
- clearly attempting to play a ball which is close when this action impacts on an opponent or
- making an obvious action which clearly impacts on the ability of an opponent to play the ball
