Savinho seriously wasn’t

He was a liability; too soft in the challenge and wasted loads of chances.

 

[ysmsa]

I didn’t think either of them were unnatural body positions at all.

It should have been a goal but due to the ref not giving it as a Haaland handball in the first place.

It may have touched Haaland's arm after their 2 had played netball with it.

 

[Jazzman]

Why did the ref blow for a handball when he has VAR to investigate? Really weird decision.

Great attacking intent. Decision making and energy fell away massively second half. Ah well. 3 points. Up the blues

It was the safest way to disallow the goal, since he could not be proven wrong, that's why. He wanted to disallow it if there was any way possible.

 

[big gaz]

Bent ref. Was a clear guess on haaland goal as evedenced by var. thats dog shit.

Also, we were as bad as ever for 60 minutes. Thank god their finishing was as bad as ours.

Fuck em ! is the correct reply ;-)

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

If the VAR fuckers couldn’t find an handball after three minutes then it appears to be a clear and obvious error? What a fucking farce.

The ref on field gave the decision as handball.

 

[Eoiyflem]

It’s not the worst call once they cleared up
that the ref didn’t give it in real time. So the “inconclusive” evidence wasn’t there to over turn it.
It’s toss, but not the worst call.

It's a fucking terrible call. He made no decision on the pitch and didn't blow the whistle while the ball was in play. Therefore he should be going to VAR and asking should I disallow this goal. Absolute bullshit

 

[hertsblue]

Seriously need to improve our finishing, no other team misses the chances we do. If playing with 2 wingers, they must chip in with goals, Savinho has been pretty awful in this regard so far.
So many times this season we have battered teams in the 1st half but missed chance after chance and went on to lose the game due to a 2nd half collapse.
Very lucky tonight the same did not hapoen

Why am I so pissed off...

oh for godsake

Looks like a wanted poster ;)

 

[Blueknows]

There's a reason var don't want to release the audio , cheating in plain sight ,

 

[Pingu the Penguin]

Very good first half.

Second, suffered from the usual 20% drop off and that allowed them to get on top and create chances. They should’ve scored but Ederson was on it, for once.

Khusanov was imperious. Unbelievable scouting and well done City for having the bollocks to go and get him before someone like Brighton did.

Sav and Doku dangerous and Doku were providing some end product for the goal.

Always a pleasure to do these delusional cunts.

I dont think we dropped off per se, they massively upped their press and we didnt react well enough. It wasn't a personnel/tactical thing, it was more a group of inexperienced players not reacting.

 

[Stoned Rose]

First thing Foden needs is a club suspender belt. Started in the summer with England. Spends more time adjusting his stockings than anything else currently.

They sell these on Tib St.

I wear mine but only for big European aways.

 

[phargrave]

Erling calling the ref out there.

And rightly so, bent cnunt….

 

[Lavinda Past]

Should have been 3 or 4 up by half time, and end up scraping a 1-0 win (thanks to a shit referee decision).

We're our own worst enemy this season. We don't put teams away.

Oh well... 3 points in the bag. On to the next one.

 

[brummie blue]

Khusanov, González and Marmoush look really good acquisitions.

Ederson had one of his best games in ages, his saves as important as that Haaland goal.

Doku and Savinho, for the second game running, had the full backs on toast and often needed doubling up on, but the end product names to improve massively.

 

[Bluearmy]

Let me get this straight. The referee was so certain he "saw" a handball that he disallowed a City goal. And yet VAR, with multiple angles and slow motion couldn't show any handball. Basically he "saw" what he wanted to see. There should be an inquiry into that decision.

Incorrect analysis. VAR clearly showed 2 Spuds handballs but no City handball. So the only sensible decision to make was to disallow the goal. YCMIU, but they do…. Someone Make it make sense!!

 

[daztrueblue91]

Let's talk about handball. I thought Haaland hand balled it, pretty sure the ref blew for Haaland handball and it clearly showed the Spurs player handballed it. Then there was a second handball incident, which was inconclusive; but I am pretty sure the whistle was for the first. Discuss......

It’s really simple.

The ref gave handball. VAR checked it and could not confirm the handball happened. Therefore the goal should have stood.

Any other conclusion is absolute bollocks.

 

[Roachy]

Why am I so pissed off...

Should've scored more goals and VAR.

It’s toss, but not the worst call.

Well, they should have called the ref over to have a look at it. Multiple angles clearly showed that Haaland's arm did not redirect or even touch the ball. Seem to have bad luck with hand ball calls against these cockneys. But we got the 3 points. Only 7 back of the tarquins. I think they're gonna bottle it further. Once they realize they can't catch Liverpool, they'll cave in.
