They’ll spend the next half an hour talking about Bellingham and then Liverpool and probably promote United’s game tomorrow

liverpool did you say? How did they get on then?

 

[The Stockport Iniesta]

Oh no you weren’t. I was thinking please dont let Mahrez take it.

Oh yes I was! Think its going to become a new lucky omen/ritual from now on.

Simply sensational stuff

a few great performances but Kev was on a different planet.. he was like a man possessed

 

[Dirty Harry]

That doesn’t even allow any interpretation or judgement call. It should NOT have been a penalty! But who cares :)

I saw it that he left his arm out as an insurance policy so to speak so the ball didn’t go past him , clear pen for me and that’s without blue tinted specs on ;-).

 

[Sir peace frog]

the first half was a nightmare one of the worst, but the second half was already good, the tactical change was good from Pep too

We were brilliant first half controlled the game passed them to death they were out on their feet, allowing us to totally dominate the 2nd half

 

[Damanino]

Clear pen imo, the position of the hand decided it imo. Also the ball was not bombed at him, he had time to control his body, when fullbacks often try to defend crosses with their hand behind their back, central payers must be careful too not to leave their hand out like that.

dont think it matter if just touched his head before, he did not change the direction imo with his head anyway.

emre Can was stupid, and he was stupid last week when they did not give the pen when he kicked Rodri in the knee by trying some stupid back kick.

 

[remember arthur mann]

She asked shit awful questions after the 1st leg too. Reshmin Chowdhury. Out of her depth in that role.

Says it all....

 

[Blue tiger]

From 25 minutes onwards the most professional European performance you'll see. Foden will get the headlines and rightly so, but De Bruyne truly put in a captain's knock, was everywhere!!!

It is an offence if a player:

• deliberately touches the ball with their hand/arm, including moving the hand/arm towards the ball ...
• 
  
• touches the ball with their hand/arm when:
  • the hand/arm has made their body unnaturally bigger...

The above offences apply even if the ball touches a player’s hand/arm directly from the head or body (including the foot) of another player who is close.

Except for the above offences, it is not an offence if the ball touches a player’s hand/arm:

• directly from the player’s own head or body (including the foot)

Not even up for debate, it SHOULD definitely have been a penalty and we were definitely good for the win in that game.

 

[Eusebio]

Yes! Huge congrats!
Will certainly be a tough and entertaining tie against Paris but I believe. Cmon City!
