All the VAR calls were correct. You can moan about the rules if you want but there's no denying the refs applied the rules correctly and been consistent in doing so.

Gomez has so much work to do defensively.

Get Haaland on for Grealish go 4-3-2 and we can still win this well.

Put Bernardo on and we're back to 11 v 11.

Eddie has been a little dodgy lately!

Your right just Haaland then -;)

 

[Blu1]

Var is a waste of time which no football fan wants, yet we have it

Biggest danger to us is ourselves with sloppy play, the sending off was from a poor decision from Rodri.
Still controlling the game but are showng nothing up front atm and it would help if we could take a set piece that beats the first man or not passed to the keeper

 

[ManCityGR!]

Don’t have any problems with the way the laws were applied, but that 45 mins sums up how ridiculous some of the laws are, which is compounded by var.

VAR is fine and we want it, it allows mistakes to be corrected and that's crucial. It's just when referees and VAR men are incompetent that problems start.
They obviously believed that Mahrez handled the ball deliberately which is utter nonsense. Because if they believed he did accidentally touch it then goal should stand as rule had changed form last year.

VAR gave them a 2nd chance to review it and they blew the 2nd chance also.

 

[balotelli's back pocket]

Just a shambles from the ref and VAR.

Can't be too harsh on Gomez, he's been put in a bad position there.

Eddie needs to wake up.

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

Thought he went early, was it checked?

He didn’t. He only needs to have one foot on or behind the line, which he did.

 

[Blue and true]

Get Phil and The Viking on.

Is the handball rule for goals different in the champs league to the prem league?

Depends on your shirt.
