Also whatever happened to the striker being given the benefit of the doubt in tight calls?
That seems to have vanished into the ether...

Pre VAR. VAR is supposed to remove doubt.

Believe that if you want.

Maybe it’s that City are just…better than you?

They actually attack us and aren't scared, so we outplay them in a way we can't against teams that line up 6-4-0. You wouldn't expect a scouser to understand though.

What that scouse plank said about City, you could say exactly the same about them. They don't play with that intensity against the likes of Watford, Burnley etc, they saved it for their biggest game of the season yesterday.

Do you think Ederson launching it straight to Allison from our kick off which they scored from 30 seconds later had no bearing on the equaliser? If you don't then fair doo's but let's not pretend thinking it did is mental or trying to wum.

You are not alone in thinking it contributed. It was a topi c onf conversation where I sit in the ground.

Clear the link is indirect and you can debate how siginificant it was. However, what is not in much doubt is that it was an awful kick-off, an unforced error that ceded possession unecessarily.

I think we should have tried to reatin possession and control the game from the k/o.

The result is more frustrating today hearing all the reaction about the sides being so evenly matched…

Similar to a lot of derbies with Pep where we’ve played them off the park and won 2-1, unfortunately the only thing that gets remembered is the score line.

There’s likely to be 2 more head to head games this season and they can’t be draws.

No fucking maybe about it.

Yesterday was confirmation (if we ever needed it) that we are by far the better footballing team. I know they are highly effective at what they do, but fuck me, it’s kick and rush.

 

[trevorriley]

ripped off

 

[SWPISHOME]

Is there any way to get a direct link to that?

I can pm you the link

That's just odd I thought it was one of our less intense, thought the game was slow at times and City were playing well within themselves.
