The 'Pusher' is one nasty piece of work.Liverpool players, fans,sports writers, pundits and all the other City haters are seething about the kicking City gave them. Gives me more joy than watching the game.Goal disallowed and penalty both straightforward descisions, but what about the nasty off the ball foul on Foden by that slimy Szoboszlai caught by the commentator but not by the officials? Nobody talking about that.
Slot and several players gave City fair praise admitting they were well beaten. VVD refused to talk about ref decisions. Fair play to him.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...
Salah has fallen off a cliff and it’s obvious from his body language, he knows it.Did he bottle up Salah or what? You could tell Salah was completely miffed at how the game went. Loved it.
When is the Webb & Owen Goon Show on ?However, they would of course have been over the moon if the same decision went against the opposition.
EDIT: Yes they are...
We’ll beat them 4-0 there. They’re shite.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
Can’t make this shit up can you?! Absolutely embarrassing. Always the victim! I hope they have complained and I hope they get absolute pelters from all angles! Got absolutely battered but as per usual, somebody else’s fault! This sort of stuff is what makes beating them so enjoyable.Liverpool players, fans,sports writers, pundits and all the other City haters are seething about the kicking City gave them.

Fucking hell ive seen some weird takes on here but Gvardiol as a midfielder because we are uncomfortable with him in defence? the only time we have looked secure at the back anytime in the last 18 months is when he starts at CB he solidifies the whole defence, also he is nowhere near mobile enough to run a midfield he would look so out of place in there.I think Ait-Nouri's best chance is as some sort of attacking player. He's no defender. Looking like a squad player to me at best, but it's still very early days for him.
Then again, I'd also rather see Josko further up the park - I think he could be a genuinely world-class midfielder - whereas rarely a game goes by without him giving me palpitations in defence.
I still think that we haven't been tested properly in defence, that the UCL might find us out, but we're twice the team with Donnarumma and NOR in the lineup, so things definitely looking up. Really appreciating being competitive again.

Yep. He’s getting there slowly. Was highly rated in Italy and will come good here.I think Rudolph has plenty to offer. We need a strong squad that gives Pep a variety of options and th ability to rotate players. Tijjani needs time to adapt fully to City and English football - a couple of goals would help him along.
“Subjective reasons” not nice from Liverpool, the ref believed it was off side." they do not accept the decision was arrived at for subjective reasons " - I might be wrong here, but doesn't the wording of that statement imply that they are claiming that the decision was as a consequence of a biased/corrupt decision by the officials in control of the game ?
Should the PL not be charging LFC for bringing the game into disrepute ?
or are cartel members exempt from the normal rules ?
Aren't there rules about making such claims or are LFC above such laws/rules ?
Red mafia.Why is it when a decision goes against the red scousers it’s a travesty and the media go all in calling it out,strange when decisions go against City or other teams it’s deemed as one of those things and it evens itself out over the season or just the shrug of the shoulders and get on with it ..
My first thought was “are they saying John Oliver is a cheat?” but then I thought the wording was all wrong, because it would need to be “objective” not “subjective.”" they do not accept the decision was arrived at for subjective reasons " - I might be wrong here, but doesn't the wording of that statement imply that they are claiming that the decision was as a consequence of a biased/corrupt decision by the officials in control of the game ?

As it's a rainy afternoon I have spent a large part of watching YouTube videos of Liverpool fans reactions during the . game. I even squeezed Mark Goldberg in. In fairness to them all they all acknowledged we were far the better side and deserved to win. Yes they had a moan about the disallowed goal but that's fans for you.Yeah, but we’re cheats.

I don't know if they really interpret the law this way, but to me, "in the keeper's eyeline" shouldn't just mean "between the keeper and the ball". If the player is in front of the keeper, even if the ball's coming from a slightly different angle, he's still interfering being a visual distraction. This definitely applies to Robertson, but not to Bernie, who was more to the opposite side of the Wolves goalie and he also dropped down to be even less of a visual distraction before the header came in. The bigger justification for ruling out the City goal v Wolves would be that Bernie bumps the goalie before he gets out of the way. Of course, if they decide to rule out goals for fouling the goalkeeper, Arsenal would be mid-table at best this season...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.
Half of our team know what winning the title is like, half of the Tarquins know what bottling it is like.They were looking at going nine points clear before our game until the last gasp Sunderland equaliser. If that win would have happened, even in spite of our win yesterday, they would still have been six points clear. Now its down to four. That and the way we destroyed Liverpool yesterday is bound to have their arses twitching a bit.
