You would think we got absolutely blasted. Not a 1-0 by any means

More of everything just no goal, we judge by our own standards and give the team stick but those scores are hilarious :)

Come on its the english media all bullshit based on keeping fans of the red tops happy ...........i really dont know why they bother

 

[Longdarnit Blue]

Perhaps the BBC go to the Bluemoon matchday thread to do their player average scores. On second thoughts, that’s bollox as they’ve given Savinho 4.4/10 and there are no minus points for Lewis (even though he didn’t play)

Didn't milner get a rating out of ten one week when he either wasn't in the squad or was on the bench and didn't come on?
I'm sure that happened, maybe someone could correct me.

 

[Sky Blue]

The BBC has the player scores of City no higher than 4.9 and Villa player at 8.5, the average score for a City player was 5.6 and the average for a Villa player was about 7.5.

All the other stats apart from the goal were in our favour with more possession shots etc, the disparity between the scores is a joke.

Hinchcliffe doing the ratings.

Both teams were poor. Villa created nothing apart from a couple of set pieces. The quality of football from both sides was very low with relentless misplaced passes.

His head was on the pitch.

Pleasantly surprised at the shoeing the scousers are currently getting on SSN.

The BBC player ratings are determined by its readers, and hardly any City fans bother with them these days so not very likely to get an unbiased assessment

Fuck me the scouse Brentford ratings are hilarious ;-)

Brentford 3-2 Liverpool: Reds suffer fourth successive Premier League loss

Brentford heap more misery on champions Liverpool with a deserved victory at Gtech Community Stadium, making it a fourth successive Premier League loss for the Reds.

Sterling once got voted MoTM in a game City won easily (on MoTD and on here) but his score was the lowest of either team on the BBC (something like 4.5 when the next lowest City player was 6.5). I emailed the BBC to suggest their system was open to abuse but they just brushed it off.

It’s a load of rubbish.

The ratings are devised from readers scores.

The scouse didn't do their jobs that day, have they turned tail mate?

 

[Prophet of Doom]

I listened to Talksport for 10 mins yesterday morning and noticed a clever little snide tactic by Custis on his show. I presume Henry Winter had been positive about City - which they countered with a text from a listener saying nothing City have done should be applauded - 115 - cheating etc. Custis finished by saying “City APPARENTLY claim they are innocent”

Job done for them. The ‘text’ probably written by one of the production team

I don't understand what your saying/asking?

He is terrible when it comes to City.

you lost me when stating 'I listened to Talksport'

 

[Earlyriser]

What is it with Mills, Hinchcliffe and Richards that they have such a dislike for the club? Is it that they are prepared just to toe the line for the money?

I said the same to my dad this morning. Was poor all round. Thought the goal was a good finish but the commentators went on like it was the greatest goal of all time
