Fair result in the end in my opinion.

The league have proper shafted us with this run of fixtures.

United, Chelsea, Liverpool, Spurs.

All potential top 6 clubs.

They have done it again in February

United, Liverpool, Brighton, Arsenal.

I bet no other club will play a run of 4 or 5 games against top 6 opponents!

Hopefully we can get a win against Spurs then go on a run up to the Xmas period.

I like that they always fuck us with fixtures around the big CL games and Intl Breaks!

Other leagues try to help their CL teams, as it elevates their League and improves the country’s coefficient for an extra position. Not the PL!! Rich getting richer is not right…unless it’s the “right” clubs!

Sick of it all, tbh! Just glad I get to watch my beloved team beat most other teams, while playing some of the most beautiful, tactically and technically proficient football ever seen.

Not sure anything in my (sporting) life will ever eclipse Aguerrrrrrrrrrrrrrro and last season’s Treble, so it all feels like the cherry on the icing on the cake at this moment!

It’d be nice to set yet another record by being the first to win 4 in a row, but with the spiteful agenda inside football that is growing regarding City and the 115, it all feels like we are heading for a bloody nose, Pep leaving, and who knows what else?!

Can’t see us skating. Too much money and too many reds at the top of English football to “let City get away with it,” whether we have done anything or not!

I’d love nothing more than to beat every one if the 115 charges, but petty shit like “cooperation” will be hung around our necks and we won’t get away without SOMETHING sticking. Cue the “See, we told ya! Cheats!” from every know nothing, and the “asterisk of history” will be on every other club’s fans lips forever.

It writes itself that we will NEVER be given our due for being a club that revolutionized British football and became the most successful growth club in the world in a generation, while breaking FOOTBALL records right, left and center! No, it’ll be “They cheated!” whether we are found guilty of non-cooperation or the whole enchilada!

And, I don’t care, because I know what I think about the club and that’s all that matters to me!

If we're maybe four points off top, at worst, come the new year, I'll be confident.

And that's at worst, I don't see that happening.

Get these next two games out the way, hopefully with 6 points, and we do really have a generous run of 10 games where I'd really expect us to manage to build up a bit of a gap at the top.

In terms of fairness - no it shouldn't have been disallowed.
In terms of the laws of the game - it's a crappy not fit for purpose law - and under that shit law it should have been ruled out unfortunately.

Which Law are you referring to when you say it should be ruled out?

Oh FFS do one. Some folk never happy. Out players have played more games than any other team over last 12 months. Shit happens

It’s a bit of a bullshit post, to be fair. Lassel actually stated that we would lose 3-1 but was hoping for a draw due to the fact that Klopp had the psychological edge over Pep.

You‘ve got to love revisionism, especially when the original post is there for all to see.

Not the best result but what did Pep get wrong?

Not much really, but klopp used alll 5 of his subs, so basically had a fresh team for last 15-20 minutes, wheras we didn't use one, this is an error for me, but It's something Pep does quite a bit in tight games, he'll know why.

Changes I'd have made yesterday, before they scored, I'd have brought on another midfield player, as we never really controlled that all game, maybe even another defender to tighten it up.

That said, we should have won, we had good chances, they had few.

Watched with the sound off but that City attack the ref halted instead of playing advantage looked just as dodgy as the disallowed goal. Unless I missed something, I don't know why he stopped it. Sky never showed a replay of it either but the players looked incensed.

Akanji went down with a head injury.
 
I still get annoyed with our inability to have shots from outside the area. There were several occasions yesterday where players were lined up perfectly for a shot, but they all decided to pass it outside. Is this from Pep, is he always striving for that perfect goal?
 
What was all that about with Nunez, Klopp and Pep, or as it will have been mentioned give me a page number to jump to lol

Pep rarely makes changes in tight games unless someone is injured or having a stinker. I'm sure he's said he doesn't like the time it takes for a sub to adjust to the pace of the game. I think his starting line up was pretty much picked for him.

The ref looked at it and deemed it not a foul and then just as we broke away he looked back and blew, sure it then became a foul and a yellow (excuse me if I'm wrong, was watching on an outdoor screen)

Annoying both ways because there was fuck all wrong with Akanji and if he had just gotten up like a 'man' and got on with it we would have been clean through.

Probably Akanji staying down like a fanny is most to blame, when will they learn?

Said earlier it would be 1-1 and Guardiola would get it wrong. Got abused by ‘top blues’.

Some things never change

What a weird post?

or is this now more abuse, more shots, more possession, robbed of a goal, and Pep got it wrong, nicely predicted.

Get your application form in when he leaves ffs

I think he waved play on initially then looked back and Akanji was holding his head, so he had no choice but to stop play. I thought he restarted with a drop ball though.
 
I thought we played well yesterday, but do lack a 'top gear' at the moment. This may be due to injuries or bedding in these new players. My posts are repetitive on this point, but we are in a reasonable position without KDB for the whole season so far and no idea of our strongest 11 yet.

This was amplified by Liverpool making 5 quality substitutes. Having Grealish or Kovacic available would've given us the flexibility to make personnel & tactical changes. Their aggression in the second half, similar to Chelsea & Brighton, caused issues - we need to be able to re-establish control.

Bernardo was brilliant yet again, especially in the first half when he exploited the gap between Salah & Alexander-Arnold.

Ending up feeling a bit reminiscent of games from the last few years, where we made sufficient chances and got into the right areas numerous times, but didn't take advantage of them. Doku was a great outlet but could've got some shots off and Alvarez didn't have his best game either.

If we can get into the New Year within 3 or 4 points or top, given we miss a round of fixtures, it would be a good position to kick on from.

No free kick, just a drop ball but it allowed them to press us near our area. Should’ve pushed the Liverpool player much further back.
