Ditto. Llorentes goal wouldn’t have stood now. Shouldn’t have done at the time either but still, the rules have changed slightly.

Shows how fuckin stupid the rule was back then really

well done Akanji.....

Hand was down by his waist!

Hope sky show city have been robbed all day tomorrow on loop.

But we haven’t as they are the rules. If it hits your hand/arm, whether accidentally or not, and it directly leads to a goal, it has to be disallowed.

 

[heslops barnet]

Yep. Give him a go.

Can’t see Pep putting him on until we’re 2 up

 

[deano ou812]

What a shame as the floodgates would have opened..

 

[Mancity1980]

Gvardiol is offended you forgot him

No, I didn’t! You just can’t rely on him to win every game.

 

[Blu1]

Why do we keep letting our defenders walk to their box every fooking game! Can a midfielder not just drop & create.

Makes no sense & this is why we keep getting caught with counter attacks

It allowed more for interpretation. Think some do still want that judging by some of the comments but that Llorente one shows the issues of having it open to interpretation.

 

[Millwallawayveteran1988]

Come on Nunes FFS.

 

[Tricky_Trev]

Here we go, another corner with our “new focus” on them. Another goal incoming!
