I know he created the goal but I lost count of the number of times his passes were overhit or were intercepted. Nowhere near his usual incredibly high standards

Yes I agree but those two make us tick and it just wasn’t there today. Thought Gundogan was especially poor. Should have been subbedAnd Walker, Cancelo and Foden.
Don’t think he needs a rest 6 games in.Does Rodri need a rest, or some back up?
Like Pep said, we just wasn’t clinical enough with our passing in general. It happens, it’ll happen again no doubt but the season is long and we are in a great position as it stands. I’ve no doubts we win this league by at least 10 points.

We’re all great at being hindsight Peps.Yes I agree but those two make us tick and it just wasn’t there today. Thought Gundogan was especially poor. Should have been subbed
We’d have been fine if we’d taken our chances or not conceded a goal.
They didn’t have a goal disallowed.
The ref blew before he shot.
I think the point he is trying to make is we dodged a bullet. Which we did, also against Palace. Finally we are starting to get protected like the other fellow “big teams” do! :-/

Today, we didn’t concede a goal because the whistle had blown.
Against Palace, we won because we scored more goals than them.
Don’t think we dodged a bullet today. We were comfortably the better team and did what we’ve done so often in the past, made wrong decisions at the wrong times.I think the point he is trying to make is we dodged a bullet.

We win midweek and the weekend and alls forgotten.

I agree
That is not what I am suggesting for 1 minute and the 2 examples you gave were not goals because the Ref blew the whistle so everyone stopped apart from the Guy with the ball!You do realise that Villa had an onside goal ruled out? Even against Palace, they had their 3rd goal ruled out incorrectly. But no, we are the only ones in the league being bent over by the refs. Hilarious.
I'm thinking of this game in isolation where 4 minutes were shown and a lot of that was wasted.
Was the appropriate time added on or not, if it was fair enough but if it wasn't then I'm entitled to query why the Dippers had enough time added on the other night to score when everyone else doesn't get the luxury.
I'm far from a flapper these days but was genuinely surprised when full time was called on the radio when it appeared that fuck all happened in 4 minutes stoppage time!
Spot on AHT.They didn’t have a goal disallowed.
The ref blew before he shot.
A Wrong call maybe (not seen it yet) but blowing the whistle stops the game so anything after that means fuck all.
Some on here believe it to be a legitimate goal, unbelievable!
