Two silly fucking incidents

Soft for Fernandinho and the general

But FFS keep your heads City

Think Laporte is struggling at LB with pace of the yank

We were in such utter control of that game and we really fucked up a few very good chances. First pen I thought was harsh, second one utterly stupid from fern. Second half we need to settle down and play our game and we should get back in this.

Fernandinho pulled him down.

Stop with the woe is us. They were penalties.

Fernandihno was. Ota' was tough.

 

[scousemanc]

Even before the 2nd pen we looked rattled. Glad it's half time. We can settle down, get a grip, and play our game.

It's an unbelievable turn of events. City were leading, comfortable and dominating possession, with almost 70%. They were cruising.

But the handball, which is the massive turning point because it changes the whole atmosphere and the way the game flows, I'm still not convinced about.

VAR would help us eh?

 

[Beanhead]

Played well that half imo.

Both incredibly soft penalties.

These are absolute wank but have blagged their way in front.

Need to be very careful they don’t get a 3rd.

I think we’ll be fine over the two legs but to me the first one was baffling. I think anyway

 

[jared]

The referee got all the decisions right, except the booking of Otamendi. Our players need to calm down ...

The first was iffy. The second was correct. Fern has history of gifting pens before. But there is plenty time left and a second leg so not overly worried. Of course if we lose by 2 or more goals it could get bad

 

[thelongbowman]

oh, Keown is a knob

 

[Bluemoon115]

Where the fuck was Otamendi supposed to move his arms to? He's moving them away from the ball to behind his back it's never a fucking pen.

No but it was given, and we didn't react.

We're making a bad habbit of going a goal up, stepping off, then if we concede the next goal, looking like a bunch of strangers.

Regardless we are 2-1 down after going a goal up sound familiar,unfortunately we don’t have enough leaders on the pitch who can give boots up backsides or grab the game by the scruff,when you can see us drifting into complacency which was the case after going a goal up ..
