The confusion of the disallowed goal is baffling me. If he doesn’t duck and it hits him, he’s offside…so how isn’t him moving out the way of the ball an offside gesture/movement?!

I’ve watched a few videos since getting back and Richards has alluded to it (for once he’s said something sensible) but nothing else really.

Maybe it’s best for Sky to keep it as a debate for viewing figures but to me it’s a simple decision.

Correct, he either ducks, or gets hit with ball. Either way he’s in the way and offside. Madness it’s even a topic of conversation. He’s offside and interfering with play. Big full stop thumb head.

Don't know if that was the all-conquering performance by us that it's being reported as. Wasn't a disaster or a no-show from Liverpool either. A few marginal moments went our way - if they'd gone the other way it might have been a different game.

The game swung in that five minute spell when they had their equaliser disallowed - a decision I'm not sure about 100% either way - and we scored off a deflection shortly after. Liverpool were better in the second half but had too much to do.

But that's another game this season where we've improved on the result and performance from last year. I do think there will be more days like Spurs (H) and Villa (A) to come, which means Arsenal will be winners this year, but we're on the way back.

And with that said, lots of solid performances, especially from Nunes, Dias, and Gonzalez. Foden, Haaland, and Bernardo a little quieter than usual but still effective. The MOTM displays both came down the left from young Nico O'Reilly and Doku. Superb stuff.

Happy with where this team is. We'll finish 2nd on 75-80 points and give it a good go in the cups, which is fine by me. We're heading in the right direction for sure and days like today are ones we'll look back on when we're back at the very top next season.

Remind me not to invite you to my birthday party.
 
Nunes and O’Reilly were absolutely outstanding today. Again. We have been struggling at full back for some time but these two are so solid defensively and brilliant going forwards.
Massive credit is due to Pep for spotting their potential there and persuading them to play there. Not easy to do that. It’s a sign of how much respect they have for him and how tight a group this team is.

So so good. Best performance in a long time. Top day. And doku - different gravy. Terrorized Bradley

The strange thing it I actually thought Bradley was one of their better performers. He did as well as you could expect against what he had to deal with. Doku was completely and utterly ridiculous. Had that been Frimpong it could have been assault, a car crash in fact.
 
A fitting performance to mark the 1,000th managerial match for Pep.

The last half dozen games have shown a level on quick passing and spacial awareness. Coincides with a few players really getting to grips with the team setup. Doku, Gonzales and Nunes are playing well.

Liverpool struggled all over the pitch. Lucky it was only 3 nil. The quickest the away end has emptied and that includes the derby which ran it close !

Brilliant performance!

Hats off to Silva and Gonzalez, absolutely ran the show and both have faced their fair share of criticism in the past.

Dias brilliant as well, especially as he practically had to babysit Gvardiol.

I don’t know what any of this means, but I enjoy will my Sunday night.

When is that wirtz chap making his debut for them? I can see them being unstoppable once he gets in the team

He was far from their worst player.
I think the problem is the old crew no longer up to it on a regular basis, one season too many for some of them

We seem to have addressed that situation. Stones, Ake, Kovavic probably couldn't have sustained the energy spent in todays match
