Luton Town (A) | PL | Post Match Thread

[BlueAnorak]

Good win against a gang of thugs given carte blanched to foul by a rather lenient ref.
Much much better though we weren't clinical enough. For ages I though we'd score a third or concede an equaliser. For once we didn't concede.
Their keeper, Kaminsk, imade 3 fantastic saves to keep them in it.

 

[Citizen Mike]

With Villa he was asked to keep the ball and draw the foul. Pep encouraged him to do the same when first here. Now hard to give that up?

He has to do more in my opinion. He has a great first touch and his shooting is good but just lacks speed of shot. I'm sure it's a confidence issue, hopefully the two goals will give him it

 

[city2]

My take on these dodgy ref decisions along with var is it’s gonna get worse cos the PL know we ain’t getting fucked over with the 115 charges.

 

[citymad]

The tackle on Phil didn’t even warrant a booking

I thought it was reckless myself definitely deserved a booking. Phil's a lucky boy.
On a side note I get the feeling the refs are going to be looking out for Rodri. They'd be happy for the odd yellow to pile up and get another ban.

 

[LesBleuMiserable]

Great win. Fuck Jamie Carragher the scruffy ****, and Kelly Cates couldn't stop telling everyone we're 4th.
That's how to shut the doubters up.
Was in the foulest of shit moods at half time, totally against the run of play.

The boys in blue will never give in.

She has no shame she was even wearing red!

:)

I don’t mind Kelly!

No Carrwharr he has me spitting!!

Singing 2-1 to the referee.

Yeah right lads!!

Ha, yes. The highlight of the game for me. Part time wankers.

Fuck me you are scraping the bottom of a very very deep barrel if that’s the best you can do.

Well one of those was one of the few ones that they came out publicly afterwards to say VAR got it wrong.

Subjective decisions, there’s been plenty in every game for and against, like there is for everyone else.

It was a red, you can't jump into a tackle with both feet off the ground.

 

[The Future’s Blue!]

It was a red, you can't jump into a tackle with both feet off the ground.

VAR found a way to deem it ‘Orange’, probably when they used the other wider angle where it wasn’t so ‘obvious’.

 

[BringBackSwales]

Organised thuggery against the best football side the premier league has seen. They should really value what Peps teams have done for their brand, and instead they allow skillless thugs to kick shit out of us. How any sane person can watch that assault on Phil and not give a red card is breathtaking incompetence, unadulterated corruption or more likely both. When we win the league we do it against all the odds, every time. It’s a national disgrace. We used to think uefa were bad, but the premier league is so much fucking worse

 

[Black&White&BlueMoon Town]

Vital win today.

We sat with the home support and I am struggling to describe them without using a politically incorrect term. I’m not sure I’ve encountered a crowd that complained about every refereeing decision that went against them (Scousers?).

Seeing it on TV, the home complaining was VERY visible both audibly and visually given how close the seats are to the pitch. I couldn't believe how much belly-aching there was.

The ref actually got most decisions right.

Except for the missed RED card for the spikes on Foden, perhaps so. Not sure what VAR replay the ref saw to not book that. ;-)

We had a close view of a lot of the action and it was interesting seeing some of the touches and movements of City’s players. A different perspective to sitting on Level 3 of the Kippax.

Luton were a tricky little banana skin due to their tight pitch. Technically they were limited but they were aggressive, quick and reasonably well organised defensively.

City played well, not great.

Kovacic is getting back to his early season form. Gvardiol is going to be some player, there’s a lot more to come from him.

Glad you got to enjoy it live, and thanks for representing! Cheers.

After the ref played way over the 6 mins made me laugh when the exact moment Eddy caught the cross he finally blew, like oh fuck it no point playing any longer now city have got it.
i mean the chances of it being full time the exact second it hits Eddie's gloves.

 

[Doctor Jimmy and Mr Jim]

Dickhead fans vote. Not to be taken seriously.

Dickhead fans vote you say? That's absolutely true.....take yesterday as an example. Scum vs Bournemouth....I gave every scum player 1 and every Bournemouth player 10. Oh hang on a minute....that's actually a fair assessment.

 

[Bluemoon2393]

Not the most prettiest of wins but who cares if its 3pts.

Yes we have room for improvement but after the World Cup. We should play much better and start hitting form again.

We have a mountain to climb after the last few weeks of poor performances. We need Liverpool and Arsenal to hit bad form if we are to recover. Villa have done us a favour and no favour with the last 2 games.

Poor that.

 

[Mr Ed (The Stables)]

All I'll say is that the Matchday Forum earlier was lets say tiresome. Anyroads a great win, not the prettiest, but three vital points, next up Palace then we can all have a good earned break whilst we play a couple of games in the sunshine.

According to Prestwich Blue Foden has the strength of a wet tissue- posted on Twitter after that challenge!

It was unreserved seating, lots of seats/spaces were empty as many stood on the back four steps. Choice really.

I don’t think we need them to do anything really but we certainly need to improve our form.
