Erling becoming the leader of this team. That interview. Wow.

I didn’t think he came across as a leader at all. Thought he was a bit of a nob.

 

[xmusampa]

In soccer, a raised foot near the head is a foul called "playing in a dangerous manner" or, more colloquially, a "high boot". A referee can call this foul even if no contact is made, as the action itself is a threat to a player's safety.


For those confused by the rules

Wtf is soccer?

 

[Brewster's millions]

Bluemoon's no1 clown ^

Anyone who thinks we played well tonight is the very definition of a clown.

 

[WestGorton]

Think we will get through if Erling and Foden stay fit.

 

[OL2Blue]

If we draw all our away games and win them all at home then we go through. It's a great point.

 

[blue moony]

Haaland is pissed off.

Not surprised really, he's right.

Pep fucked up in the second half, his decision making is getting more and more bizarre.

His decision making full stop is bizarre...

Hes done

 

[YatesA]

Haaland is pissed off.

Not surprised really, he's right.

Pep fucked up in the second half, his decision making is getting more and more bizarre.

I would be too, bernardo multiple times ruined counters and couldn't even get close to landing it close to haaland. Why he stayed on is beyond me and why doku was taken off. Imagine switching him to the right with all that space

 

[blue by birth]

?
he kicked him in head what would you want other way round

He played the fucking ball..diers head was coming down towards the ball so always going to be a chance of contact

 

[chesterbells]

It wasn't a free kick and the penalty was a fucking joke..

100% it wasn’t a free kick, ever. But as for the penalty, not a great choice by Nico if I’m honest.

 

[Chak19]

Nico should have let Dier head it in and not tried to get the ball. I am tired of seeing our players try to get the ball. The referee was brilliant.

Fuck off.

 

[jamielowndes]

Nope, Nico's toe is level with his own nose!?

Soft or not, he was asking for trouble. A stupid, stupid decision to stick his foot up there

And his own nose is down at chest height because he's ducking for the ball.

It's definitely a big risk from Nico away in Europe but some people are acting like he's roundhoused Dier stood fully straight.

 

[jimharri]

Look on the bright side. Those who were mourning Eddie's departure can gain some solace in the fact that Gigi is carrying on the fine tradition of City keepers not saving penalties. The King is dead, long live the King!

[Pedestrian]

Gvardiol had a bit of a mare
We need more from reindeer
At times we were very disorganised, but Monaco played well and were tough opponents
Ref was a prick. Can't believe how many wrong decisions he gave and Monaco soft free kicks
Great save from Donna Summer
Fantastic finishes from Haaland
Very unlucky with those two efforts off the bar
As for hoddle and that other **** on commentary!

That fucking commentary.

 

[Phoenix900000]

Sorry but why the fuck don't these stupid fuckwhats debating should it been a free kick in the fuckng first place leading to their controversial pen call

 

[mcfcphil]

It was nothing like head height though.

Of course it was.

As Haaland just said in his interview, kick someone in the face and it’s a penalty.

It was idiotic.

 

[Asa's left peg]

Another resident sniper in the stadium. You can't give free kicks everytime a finger brushes the face. The theatrics afterwards are embarrassing. He fell for it most everytime.

 

[waspish]

Couldn't be arsed.

Genuinely football is fucked, the more I watch it the more I find myself hating it.

The rules and officiating is absolutely scandalous and just couldn't be bothered getting wound up by it anymore.

Yep var has ruined the game it should be fucked of binned of! bet the authorities love it more easy jobs for them!

High foot in Europe though it’s a foul Everytime O’Reily needs to learn fast!

 

[daztrueblue91]

Everything was under control until those subs came in, especially Nico. He gave away both the free kick and the penalty, awful.

The guy is awful and there’s a reason why Pep doesn’t want to play him. The money we’ve spent on Philips, Nunes and Nico is absolutely staggering.

 

[shemnel]

Surely, it should have been an indirect free kick?

Sorry if already mentioned. Watched the game with a 10 min delay

I agree with this. Dangerous play with contact is direct free kick or penalty, while dangerous play without contact is an indirect free kick only. As far as I could tell there was no contact.

 

[roubaixtuesday]

A million miles away from the 5-3 Etihad game when both teams were stacked with top top talent

That night was awesome
