I actually rarely post in the match day thread - i did tonight but its rare as Im usually watching the game so again you are wrong.
Liverpool had 3-4 chances before we scored (including hitting the post) - that had nothing to do with unlukcy - it was to do with mistakes by our players - the very ones i pointed out before the match. go and re watch it and you will see.
I understand some fans cannot take even the slightest bit of criticism or opinion that may make it look like we aint perfect but in the first 20 mins we got away with it on a number of occasions and if you cant see that (or wont) then thats your problem. This isnt negative its just a fact.
I agree we also created a lot of chances - it could have been 6-7 tonight with one being cleared off the line as it was going in and one good goal disallowed by the most ridiculous interpritation of the handball rule (that also funnily happened to spurs as well this evening)
The point that maybe either Im not making very well or people are missing is that when we play Liverpool (and a couple of other similar teams) we have come undone before cause of the points I made before the game - tonight that happened again BUT we got a way with it down to some good keeping, poor finishing/first touches and the post also saving us. Previously Liverpool have been lethal in those situations and they have punished us. We always create chances BUT if they had scored first (like in the past) it could have been a very different game. As i said in a differnt post, if you weather the first 20-25 mins against liverpool then they usually slack of a little in their pressing and you have a much better chance - and tonight that happened
That's in the cup.We should win all the remaining games, it all seem quite doable to me. The hardest one I see are Arsenal, and we can beat them.
Ha I have been tempted to start a thread asking if the match goers finally believe us plastics,you wait till hear our cl game on bt,that will freak you out lolTonight I watched the match on my laptop via my ‘rebel’ son’s Sky Go. I think that is about only the second time I’ve watched on Sky and boy oh boy do I now see what you all mean when you call their ‘pundits’ and ‘commentators’! They are rubbish, absolutely rubbish, garbage rubbish who were dug out of the bins by the bin dippers!!!
Just enjoy the win mate
Another person presuming a lot, throwing some veiled insult but knowing very little.
Go watch the first twenty minutes or so and tell me my pre match comments were wrong - how many times did Mendy and gundogan give the ball away and nearly cost us? This isnt negative -its a fact.
Im delighted we won. ive supported city since i could stand up and stood on the Kippax (sat on walls when i was litte to be accurate) the all through my teens before moving away from Manchester.
If you dont like opposing opinions I would suggest a forum is the wrong place for you....
And probably thinks VAR chalking off our fifth tonight was “fair and in line with the current handball rule”.Jennas whining about the Spurs handball, but appears to have completely forgotten that he was perfectly okay with the decision against us first game.

And yet Alexander Arnold's handball in the buildup to their first goal at Anfield this season was deemed fine.That isn't VAR's fault, it's that idiotic handball rule that was introduced at the start of the season by FIFA without taking into account incidents like that one where the attacker handles it as a result of a foul.
Anyone here think Chelsea might get something out of Liverpool? A draw? Chelsea, newcastle, I have a feeling Dippers will drop points in there.
Blah,blah,blah, liverpool unlucky, not negative, fact.
You are boring fella, time for nighty, night for you.
I can at least support my own team especially after what was an easy win and could of easily been a rout against another very good team.
The handball rule is a prem/fa rule,it is different to the governing bodies rule and they have had plenty of scathing words from them,it does is /not supposed to be this complicated,pigmol could change it if they wanted toThat isn't VAR's fault, it's that idiotic handball rule that was introduced at the start of the season by FIFA without taking into account incidents like that one where the attacker handles it as a result of a foul.
That's in the cup.
You are right that their one tactic is the long ball over the top, and it is indeed poor to watch
jog on - just another bandwagon jumper
