Football isn't maths. There's no logic to football, it's why it's so popular and engaging and why we have folk calling each other cunts on the internet.

You said (in not so many words) earlier that our defence is improving.
Admittedly, there is still plenty of room for improvement, but I think we’re getting there.

City have dropped 3 points in the last eight PL games
Arsenal have dropped seven, therefore, City have closed the gap to two points
If that trend continues over the next eight matches.........
Well I'm pretty sure you can work that one out

It wasn’t a penalty though, the still looks bad which is why it’s used but at no point did he have the ball & lunged at Doku with the aim of being awarded a penalty.
Have you checked the 37 other games to see if we were on the end of poor decisions? I’d start with the corresponding fixture at the Etihad where we had 2 goals disallowed v the Dippers.

Yes because his game intelligence is above all those. He knows what to do at the right time every time. Every time I watched England & saw Saka ignore Foden in the perfect position I realised he doesn’t have game intelligence. Why do you think Pep says Doku, Cherki & Savio still have so much to learn.
One would have been the phantom foul on Allison by Akanji where the former went over like a 10 year old in an adult's game
Like the scousers who have Rodri's so called handball vs. Everton (where Richarlison was offside in the build up) as their perma Wall paper

This current City team is nowhere near the level of that team. Not in the same ball park. The team that won the European treble, and then somehow dragged themselves across the line the following season (although they were clearly mentally exhausted) to win a fourth title in a row, does not bear comparison with many — if any — teams in PL history.
You wouldn't, I think, compare the current Arsenal team with the team of Vieira, Henry and Bergkamp? Sometimes a team just come along — usually not ever — and you just have to celebrate the fact that you saw it, and it played in your colours, and that you're highly unlikely to see its like again.
Chief bottler Saka would limp for months on end when he saw Bernies trophy cabinet!
Too obvious.
Nobody has ever "berated" Bernardo Silva, and mentioning him in the same breath as Madueke is clearly WUMming.
Mods sack this guy off.

Bernardo Silva has been one of the best midfield players in the world during his career and was better than all the players listed at his best - quite comfortably.
He's lost a yard or so now and will likely move on at the end of the season.
Then Saka shouldn't be worried.
If this kid is deemed WC then the definition is not quite what it once was.
Great player in fairness and I do like him but I'd hold off a tad on the WC front just now.

You sound like a Liverpool fan with that Rodri handball. Give it a rest. You lost over a season that has twists and turns, deal with it.

you are equating a full season to 1 singular incident, you are actually stupider than i thought and i thought you were a moron to start with.
He's had a terrible few weeks hasn't he. Wasn't the brightest to begin with but he's jumped the shark recently.

Someone's arse is twitching.
Told you, we've been here before, we've danced this dance. We know what we need to do. Even if it means the last kick on the last game of the season, this league is never a foregone conclusion.
You guys still seem to think football is a formality based off stats, xG and other shit. You calculate what is needed, where points will be dropped and convince yourselves the title is already won by December. And then City lift the trophy in May.
The title race is nowhere near concluded nor obvious.

You've "improved drastically" yet you flubbed a title challenge against LiVARpool last season finishing ten points off the pace and 15 points less than the previous season to that.
