Fucking brilliant, they never change do they!

Yeah, it's giving Pep some fantastic tactical options: both can do thw wing back thang but also can step inside to midfield and both are now defending like "real" full backs.

I assume both players have decide that being a starting FB for MCFC is a decent career option.

I try to avoid getting into the slate a player club but I cannot deny having doubts about Nunes as a signing and as anything more than a back-up option at FB but he looks like he is starting to think like a defender and if you tie that to his physical attributes, it is starting to look like a winning combination. I suspect we are also seeing the benefits of your manager showing trust a playing you regularly: some player need to play regulalry to get their best form and this may be true of Nunes.

I’d imagine both Matheus and Nico O have decided it’s better to be a starting full-back than a reserve midfielder.

Both are making more than à decent fist of their change of career direction.

 

[Mr. Shush]

NOR is some player. I still think he’ll end up at CM. Yaya vibes written all over him.

Did he bottle up Salah or what? You could tell Salah was completely miffed at how the game went. Loved it.

Fair enough to proper LFC fans, if they admit they well beaten ?
But, read the invited comments on the Guardian report this morning.
The vast majority think the goal should have stood.
Some even say Big Erl's header was a lucky deflection !
LFC have the most one-eyed fans, who can seldom if ever give praise to their opponents.
City must really get on their nerves, as they really believe they will win the league every season...

Yeah, but we’re cheats.

[Thaksinssoldier]

For such a big club they are so small.

 

[Tuearts right boot]

Doku is quick, solid and has a low centre of gravity, he might just do alright here.

 

[Manc Born & Bred]

Are the rats still moaning about the disallowed goal? Good!

EDIT: Yes they are...

This match report is funny

 

[BringBackSwales]

Fucking main news story on sly sports, they even had stuttering karveh, well, stuttering. Apparently the dippers haven’t complained for themselves but for the good of the game, bless em. Fucking help us at candlefield later in the season

Am I missing something. Maybe the rule has changed again but I thought that the goalkeeper is not allowed to touch the goal frame.

Goalkeeper position and movement

• The goalkeeper must be on the goal line, between the goalposts, and facing the kicker.
  
  
• They must not touch the goalposts, crossbar, or net before the ball is kicked.
  
  
• The goalkeeper can move along the goal line and jump, but at least part of one foot must be on, in line with, or behind the goal line when the ball is kicked.

I’m glad it was ruled out. I’d be annoyed if it was against us though.

By trying to get out of the way of it, he’s made himself active. Seems counter productive and one of those things that have gone for us today.

I don't see the confusion. He is offside. He moves. He therefore commits an action offside.

He may or may not be impacting the line of vision, but he is without doubt impacting play. If he doesn't move, the ball either hits him and doesnt go in. Or it hits him and goes in, but then is disallowed because he was offside. So his action interferes.

Thais was a thrilling performance and I’ve not enjoyed a Sunday Evening so much in a long time. Se were streets ahead of the scousers and yet they were praised to the skies for rebuiilding while ‘on top’. At a cost of a mere halo a billón! But they have replaced the wrong players…. With the wrong players? Salah looke depressed even before Nico got at him! Van Dyk was all over the place. Of the new players Wirtz lasted 80 mins before being subbed. He had looked nowhere near the level of any City midfielder. Ekitiké was subbed after a completely anonymous 50 odd mins. Where were the others. If Liverpool couldn’t compete in the market before, £500m later they sure as Hell can’t now. Great day!

Anonymous..? I didn't know he was on the pitch...

Only this.

It’s how cults work, the wolds against them

Haaland’s due to score there.

It’s not as simple as that though. Bernardo also moves when Stones scores last season.

The biggest difference is that Robertson is on the same side of the goal as where the ball goes, so I can see that there is more scope for him to be deemed offside.

Had we had the goal disallowed, the VAR/ref threads would be going berserk.

It’s one of those marginal decisions where you could justify both sides and not be wrong. I’m just glad it went our way this time.
