Vinny was making a genuine attempt to play the ball. All this talk of scissors and studs up means little when there is barely any contact, used less force than Lovren too
My mind can’t quite remember the sheer amount of diving from Mane and Salah. It was almost jaw droppingly unbelievable how much they were throwing themselves around.There was a situation where that mincing Egyptian was near the edge of our box and suddenly hit the floor, late in the game.
Didn't see any replay. Did anyone see it? Ref waved play on anyway
To be honest, it could have gone either way. If Van Dijk had done similar to Kun, this place would have gone into meltdown.
Although a good defender he seems to be old school, basically just hacking the ball away. Not sure he’d be a good fit for usVan Dijk is a very good defender but certainly not as good as they have built him up to be, for one thing he lacks pace.

Could be right thereMy mind can’t quite remember the sheer amount of diving from Mane and Salah. It was almost jaw droppingly unbelievable how much they were throwing themselves around.
It was like seeing two Ashley Youngs from the 2011-12 title run in on one pitch.
Cheating ****s.
You could almost say that Salah’s constant diving is what let Vinnie off with a yellow because the ref would have been thinking; “I know what this diving **** is like so I’ll just play safe and get the yellow out”!
Welcome to HellI’ve been lurking on Bluemoon for years now, without actually having ever posted anything as I mainly came on here to see what all the ITKs had to say about transfers and so on. However, after last night I felt compelled to.
Absolutely amazing performance by the lads, we were unlucky not to have won by more really, especially considering the blatant penalty on Sterling (which no one seems to mention). Can’t pick out anyone for any criticism, they all played their hearts out and just wanted it more than Liverpool. However, the reason why I am posting is because I am so proud of all of us who turned up last night and sang our hearts out, cheered the boys on and made it an intimidating atmosphere for the scousers, booing whenever they had the ball. It is the best atmosphere I’ve experienced at the Etihad, made all the sweeter by the fact that the scousers were silent the whole game with the exception of a brief 5 minute spell after their equaliser (they even stopped booing Sterling at one point).
Whatever way this title race goes, last night was special and I am glad that I was able to have been there and experienced it. Still haven’t fully come off the high!
Yeah another dive..There was a situation where that mincing Egyptian was near the edge of our box and suddenly hit the floor, late in the game.
