Title fight for top 4 I assume you mean? You've watched us play, why the fuck would we win the league?

Because Arse and United are shite too!

 

[Gogootz]

Thought we weren’t the better team, for me Rashford is offside he interferes with play. We must get back to higher tempo play, too many changes is affecting momentum.

On balance rags deserved it. We were woeful, bar 20 odd minutes before we scored we could barely string two passes together

at 1-0 my family were buzzing . i said hang on , they haven't had their help yet.

 

[ancoats]

But then you don’t go onto lose the game.

you do if you get a goal like that against you ? it's cheating plain and simple, no other way

 

[Robinho's Subbuteo]

We are second in the league because other teams were more shit than us. United is catching up and given our record against spurs by midweek United would have surpassed us on table

Mate, get some money on the lottery quick!

 

[eyalluvitt]

Linesman gave offside.

Miles offside, ball played to him, flag goes up

And my goodness what help they got!

Who'd have thought a dodgy decision in favour of United would shift the momentum in the game. It does feel like defeat snatched from the jaws of victory, but again we are insipid in attacking phases and I never felt comfortable with a one goal lead. Something needs to change - 442 anyone?

we are already playing in a 4-2-3-1/442. ideal would be a return to the 4-3-3 but de bruyne cant track back anymore and our wingers are slow af

 

[come-on-barney]

1 shot on target again today tells you all you need to know, no point controling possession if you don't do anything with it. Its a recurring theme that needs changed quickly.

Didn’t Pep once say he didn’t believe in possession for possession sake ?

 

[bluemc1]

My favourite player, but has changed so much over the past 4 months.

So has Foden, Dias was off the boil as well before injury but I don’t just want to sell players who are more often than not very good because they have dips in form

 

[madloaf]

Because Arse and United are shite too!

Arse aren't. The other red shit fucking are which is why today is now drinking to oblivion day.

 

[nellyonthewing]

That's about as fed up as I've seen him.

He should see me..

 

[paulchapo]

So get your team to take more fucking risks!!!

He means those decisions always happen at the swamp and Anfield.

 

[Manchester_lalala]

I do think it was offside, but they did have to score from a dodgy call didn’t they. I don’t think the rules are clear, it’s just a perfect goal for them to get around the rules.

 

[Afterthefact]

I genuinely don’t understand why that wasn’t given at least a 2-3 minute review on var. it’s absurd.

 

[Norbert D]

Pep knows he can’t beat the referees week in week out.
its soul destroying when you know you’ve been cheated.
In a way I hope he goes because this league doesnt deserve him.
we have been lucky to have him, he’s a great coach.

 

[blueju]

Oh, I'm in total agreement the rule is a joke and needs changing, especially with the way it judges defenders touching the ball. But the law says:

• making an obvious action which clearly impacts on the ability of an opponent to play the ball

He was in the way of Akanji tracking back, he made Walker change the trajectory of his run to cut him off, he made Ederson come out of his goal square. What more does he have to do to be interpreted as interfering in play? Does he have to knock a few defenders out and spit in Ederson's face before he starts 'impacting the ability of an opponent to play the ball'?

and he dummied it before he left it for ratboy

 

[Allnightlong]

That's the actual law. He did none of those.

last one he did, hovers over the ball, changes body motion which directly impacts the defenders and keeper, making them follow him and react to his actions

 

[Erling9]

Are you a City fan or just a Haaland fan? When Haaland moves to his next team, will you be going with him?

I'm not a Haaland fan in fact i think he's set us back with his 0 touches every damn game

 

[Deleted member 77198]

Did you see the interview? He clarified what he meant by that, which was he doesn’t mind when we don’t or can’t win trophies if our attitude, mindset, effort and performances are still good despite it… then said, at the moment they aren’t, so he’s not happy with them.
