Khusanov's recovery from falling over in pursuit of Salad to get a touch on the ball as Salad hit it (early doors), to put it out for a throw, was simply phenomenal.
I'm starting to think this guy is the bees knees, the dogs dodahs etc...

I've just rewatched the highlights.

Can someone please explain why the foul on Cherki inside the Liverpool penalty area wasn't a penalty, but the Nunes challenge where Nunes actually got a toe on the ball with minimal contact on their player was a penalty (and yes I know contact on the ball doesn't mean much these days)???

Olivar nearly swallowed his whistle when he blew for their pen.

It's a stonewall pen. Oliver got it wrong. Watched the match on City's website yesterday and Alistair Mann summed it up perfectly, as to why VAR didn't get involved. He said that Oliver is one our most senior referees and he'd never even heard of the ref on VAR. Reckoned there was no way VAR would undermine Oliver.

I honestly don't think it was a pen, the Cherki one. The defender already had his legs in those position before Cherki turned and ran straight into him.

What's the defender meant to do? Just move his legs and let him run past.

Cherki initiated that contact, not on purpose, he just tried a turn and ran into the defenders legs that were already set.

I've seen them given but I'd find it harsh.

I don't like Oliver but he got all those pen decisions spot on.

Would it be given to the home team at Klanfield or Old Toilet? There’s your answer!

The only thing that would have made Saturday more perfect would have been a goal from Bernardo. Absolutely brilliant afternoon.

I think I am typical of a lot of Blues; I fell for the line that Liverpool were the better team until our penalty and then they fell apart. Having watched the game several times since I see clearly that this is not so. Liverpool looked quite slick for 25 minutes but created very little if anything. Salah’s chance resulted arguably from a foul on Khusanov and was played out after a brilliant recovery from Khusa. We know Salah is not the player he was but we’re finding out that Khusa is well on the way to becoming the player Pep said he would become. Then Ekitike put a half chance high and wide - but Ekitike certainly doesn’t look a ruthless finisher or the player they spent 70 odd million on. No mention is made of the chance Cherki miscontrolled or the penalty we weren’t given. Then Liverpool did not fall apart, a process City had nothing to do with. They were torn apart by City, a process which City had everything to do with. And yes they missed “chances”but they have been missing “chances” of that nature all season. They’re just not that good a team.

I think we all expected a City win. We might not have expected a 4-0 thrashing but that’s what we got and it wasn’t a great surprise to us and it can’t have been so great a shock for them.

Did anyone hear the old fan on 606 last night? I think he was a Liverpool fan and all he went on about was City cheating and all the charges. To be fair to Chris Sutton he tried to steer the conversation away correcting him with the words “allegations”, but the bitter old fool just doubled down. A lot of people are going to have an awful shock when we are found innocent.

Innocent of what? We ain't done anything wrong.

I play golf with a guy who’s great but get him onto the subject of City and he starts ranting about us being “cheating c****” and he’s not really a massive football fan

I told him I’ll have to buy him a slab of beer.. he’ll need something when he hears the verdict

So VAR has a hierarchy of shitness

Funny. Not giving too much stick out yet as not won it.

It's a feature not a bug with VAR. If Oliver describes what he saw and it matches, give or take, what the VAR sees then he won't get overruled.

Never seen no added time ? 10 subs (30 seconds a sub) is at the very least 5 mins

You do in cup games where the outcome is already obviously settled. Both teams would be absolutely fine with finishing it at 90 minutes.

I thought that at first, watching it again the defender moves his leg across Cherki as he turns. Looks a definite penalty on review.

And he's saying he's having a bad season... :')

 

[stonerblue]

Nah, you beat the bookie - well done...

My mate had fiver Haaland 1st and 4 nowt
Couldn't cash out so went for a shower when they got the pen.
135/1

 

[stonerblue]

Olivar was the much senior referee. There was absolutely zero point having some subservient melt on VAR.

It's bollocks. 'Var won't overturn Oliver, he's to senior ' I heard commentator say.

 

[Gingers Dad]

Junior refs move up the football pyramid by the assessment of their seniors.
