To be honest I was surprised Walker took it….as I thought he was still in Sterling’s back pocket..Think Alvarez should've stayed on rather than Phil, he offered more of a threat and also could have taken that free kick at the end, still can’t believe Walker is taking them over any of the front three, ye he maybe captain but that doesn’t mean he should get seniority over ability.

I thought we were fortunate to get a point.
Learn and move on.

Best ever? Nowhere near. It's not even the best this calendar year.You know what..I‘m a bad loser.I just hate City losing.
We should have won that but I will happily accept a point tonight as that was the best game of football I’ve seen since I started watching 50 years ago.
Amazing start to finish.

Three points clear with possiblitity of going 6 ahead of red scousers would have been soA draw away at Chelsea is hardly the end of the world. Our penalty was soft imho. Top of the league going into (another) international break. Could be worse.
Much sweeter
teams have improved their pressing, gone from headless chickens to well-drilled and intelligent positional play. Our possession stats were very untypical City, no time for measured build-up play, there was no drop-off in the intensity of chav's press. We will have to adapt or risk similar results, no doubt Pep is very aware of that....not a great game today, but probably one of the most exciting for neutrals/haters. For Blues, more disappointing than exciting, reality is, champagne is not on tap, and a decent result is viewed as a smack in the face.....

Quite right.We miss Ake a lot more than Zinchenko.
We are missing players, have to recap each week who has left and who are injured.

I'm lost with this new ruling on penalties, but based on that, Haaland's shirt was pulled and there was handball prior to that. So that should be two pelanties.

Good game to watch, plenty of excitement and goals and VAR not too much in it. Hopefully our defence learn from this.
On another note, one thing I'd love to see is us have a full ban on people shooting from free kicks. Let's get the fucking coaching staff earn their dosh and come up with something other than a player take a pot luck shot. That's all they are. I'd love to see stats around direct shots from a free kick. I'd be surprised to see any more than 50% on target and far less being scored.
