What the fuck do you people want, 100mph every match then they're knackered for the final? 5 tiles in 6 seasons, 4 league cups, a FA Cup and final to come, CL final and another to come. FFS just enjoy the ride and stop whinging at every little spell where we're not at 100%.

Players all know it's not necessary when we've already won the title, and they're not going to take unnecessary risks with the finals looming. Nobody screwed up FFS, we didn't even lose the match against probably the best other footballing side in the league.

Half our squad was missing through being too pissed to even travel. If you fully understood the effect booze has at the elite level of sport, you'd be as concerned as I am mate.

At what point of the season could so many players be missing through being too pissed & the club not act? We've got TWO HUGE GAMES looming, so surely our players should be professionally disciplined enough to control themselves for two weeks, whereby they could drink the UK dry, nevermind Manchester, & no one would give a fuck... \0/
 
Nice to see we aren't taking any risks, Although Foden should have been substituted in the first half if he felt something.

As for the game itself, We played well in spells of the game, It was a performance I think we all expected really. Players after being partying hard sweating the drink out of them :)

The disallowed goal was an absolute joke. Why weren't we awarded a penalty on Haaland if that's the case? Colwill had a full hold of Haaland shirt just before Haaland grabbed Colwill. Plus Bernardo Silva was pulled back in the box by Caicedo and nothing doing.

Only saw the last bit of game, but come on, there is no way that goal was going to stand, everyone needs to get their tin foil hats off and accept that a goal is always going to get scrutinised and his pull made a huge difference to getting to that ball.

I‘m the worst for thinking refs and var are bent against us but even I think that decision to rule out the goal was correct.

Some are missing the point. Yes, I think most of us acknowledge that it was a foul. The problem we have is
1. Haaland was grabbed/pushed (depending on your point of view) first, not as much but if he was it's a foul and therefore a penalty.
2. It was soft and 9 out of 10 similar goals are given - if it's a foul against the defender it's a foul 10 times out of 10.
3. It wasn't a "clear and obvious error" so VAR shouldn't have been involved at all. If it shouldn't have been scrutinised why should we accept it?

You have to admit the defender gave up very easily, he knew he was beaten and played the odds knowing he'd probably get the decision.
 
We won the league. We've got 10 days before the fa cup. I'm ok with that performance and that fact that some guys had a better time than others!

I think we've all got some kind of syndrome (china, stockholm, munchausens?!) where we remember how bad we were against chelsea those games before the UCL final and we're fearing the worst again. I think we'll be fine - that was a complete tactical brain fuck by pep. This time round i think we're playing our best 11 twice - and we'll live with the results.

I fully know the effect booze has at any level but nobody knows why they were not in the squad, you're only assuming that they were too pissed. Most teams would field a weakened side and rest players for a relatively meaningless game like this, happens all the time.
 
I think for the equaliser, Stonesy should have been quicker to close him down, he had 2 or 3 touches before he got his shot away
 
For me that’s as soft as the Foden goal that disallowed at Anfield - also for a shirt pull by Haaland. Soft as f**k and as others have said there’s no way that gets disallowed if it’s Welbeck on Walker for example

Not sure about them being the better team. We had more possession and missed three great chances. We had some big players out and Brighton were at home and wanted to finish on a high. They are also a very good side.

Just watched the Haaland goal again and yes it was a foul.

I agree it was a foul. The problem I have with it is that if the defender had pulled Haaland like that a penalty would not have been given.

A few players were missing but this notion that they were too pissed to travel is completely unsubstantiated. I have no doubt that they enjoyed Sunday night and probably lazed about on Monday, but they won't have been hammering it three nights straight. They were allowed to have a well-earned celebration yet still went away to a top team and came back with a point. Three years ago, Liverpool lost 4-0 at our place and given the excuse of a title hangover. If our title hangover is a 1-1 draw at Brighton then we're not doing badly. From tomorrow though, we get our heads down and focus on the real business.

You're right. It's a balancing act with these last 3 league games. 4 points from 6 so far. Unbeaten. Rotated. Hopefully everyone gets through the Brentford match, then it's game on with the "A"team and we absolutely muller the scum, and their end's empty by the 70th minute.

That's what the real issue is here, Colwill had a massive hold of Haaland just as the ball left Palmers foot. So surely if the goal isn't given, It must be a penalty.

Plus if he's given that a foul then surely a foul from Caicedo on Bernardo when he pulled him back.
 
That was (too) hard work and two players look like they got slight injuries (Stones & Foden).

Haaland & Foden missed headed sitters and I double dog dare ANY REF IN THE WORLD to give a penalty for ANY defender doing to ANY attacker what happened on the disallowed Haaland “winner.” Absolute fucking joke!

Play the EDS on Sunday, pay the fine and tell the PL to fuck off and see you in court!

Cotton wool now until Tuesday, when the real work begins for two Finals that could define the history of the club.

Why was Grealish "probably too pissed to travel"? What about the other three, Ake, Aksnji and Dias? Grealish is exhausted after playing endless minutes but our fans can't respect that but have to slander one of our own players based on nothing? Give it a rest FFS.

Slander? Have a day off mate you sound like a right bore. It was tongue in cheek absolutely nothing critical in it towards anybody in a game that meant nothing. It's a really weird mindset to take that as criticism.

Pep basically just said everybody was pissed out of their head 40 hours ago. You going to suggest he's slandering the entire squad?

We need some proper rest after such a tough season. No drinking or fucking about just rest, recovery and ticking over in training. Play the whole second string against Brentford.
