The first half matchday thread was possibly the most bizarre panic I've seen since we thought we couldnt afford the fee for wing commander Terry Cooke, an awful read!

The main observation that for a small man , Phil has one of the most powerful shots in our squad. I can only think of Kev and possibly Rodri with a harder shot.

Thankfully he does seem to be taking more shots from outside the area.

If walker reduces his long range shooting and Foden increase his, we will be all the better for it.

WTF is the controversy over the penalty. It was a goalkeepers save and stonewall since football began. Give me strength.

If that penalty had been awarded to a red team there’d be zero discussion.

Thought it was a brilliant controlled performance even 1st half 1 mistake and we was punished again. But the stats don't lie 73% possession 90% pass completion 2 shots conceded on target this against a team that's playing really well atm. People who are moaning about it being a bit boring and too slow need to realise how hard it is to break down all these teams that play 11 men in there own box against us.

Nothing to do with the “rules as they now stand are foolish” narrative either. The rules are foolish, by the way, if they mean that a ball can brush any part of your arm with your back half-turned and the ball not even be significantly altered in its trajectory and a penalty is given — but that's not the issue here. That penalty was blocked by an upraised arm that had no business being there. It's a penalty in any version of the game that I've followed in more than fifty years. Story. End of.

I had no idea there was a controversy surrounding the penalty. Anyone that thinks that wasn’t a penalty is a fucking moron.

Same here, it was a shot on target blocked with a hand, it’s absolutely doing my head in, particularly the city fans criticising the decision. I’ve come to expect it from the anti-city pundits.
