Damn, I missed the chance to put him straight about his delusions on the first CL leg last season.
Sané wasn't offside for Jesus' goal at their place, Amazon left Peps comment about that one in particular, he was level with the last man. BT skipped over the one angle replay quite quickly, I seem to remember a more telling one being on show in the documentary.
There was a stonewall penalty on Sterling not given, Robertson fouled him and handled it, as if to add insult to injury.
Then there was a clear offside opener if the two above weren't enough, that opener paved way for their counter attacks in the 20 minutes following. Even if they'd had just given us the goals/pen at Anfield despite that mistake we'd have beaten them at the Etihad with the way we started that half they'd have folded with nothing to hang onto.
Oh and stop trying to make out Sterling fouled VVD for the opener at the Etihad, he'd hooked the ball back in play and left himself off balance knowing Sterling was chasing down the same ball he'd lost control of with a heavy touch. He made two mistakes first trying to keep it in play and second because he fucked up the pass and turned over possession. He was clearly selling it to the ref who'd been buying every dive just as the ref did in the first leg, all those niggly fouls from behind they got away with at Anfield when they were ontop and they wanted that one?
2-2 or 3-2 away and 2-0 up at home at half time is a completely different prospect.
