Pep will be fucked off with the decision making from Gundo to make it 2-0. Away from home you are always going to suffer with only a goal advantage. That would have killed the game and allowed us to manage it a lot better, potentially winning comfortably.

Instead we fail to take advantage and it costs us ultimately. You don't get many gifts at this level, but that opportunity from Pope had to be punished. Haaland was the ball all day long and Gundo will know it. I'm sure Pep will be telling him.

However, a point is okay. Nothing to panic about. One of the toughest games of the season without two key players. Not a disaster.

Was odd, Gundo had two or three options including just pumping it at an empty net but he literally waited until Pope was back. Worst game I've seen from Gundo, early days though.

Wow motd , was that high lights of the game ?
Personally thought we were slightly the better team today without really creating much. But watching motd you would of thought we were lucky to get a draw.
Funnily I watch the match via a link on my firestick, the one that had Shearer and Shay Given has analysts. So I hear Shearer say , he didn't think it was a pen ,
"Gordon poor touch, over hit the ball , then kicked his right foot out to make contact"
But noticed all three pundits on motd, "thought it a penalty" !

Clear & organised.

They want to create a narrative that City park the bus, seen ESPN sharing clips of City with 10 defenders but failing to mention it’s a corner.
 
just watched the match, if gundo didnt have a shocker i think we win that match quite easily, the team had a decent performance, but again some bad finishing (why always shoot straight at the keeper?) and a walker brainfart (always one per game) let it slip away.

One thing i noticed is that like arsenal, newcastle were headhunting out there from the jump, i guess that is in all scout reports now, seat deep and kick em hard, its amazing how they were able to finish with eleven players.

Still, we need to improve every facet of the game and the number of important players injured/not in form will not make it easy but lets see if pep can cook some new tactical wrinkle

But that's weird, they don't have to overturn his decision. In fact, they can't. They can invite him to come to the monitor. He can stand by his original decision, if he's not convinced. That can never be repeated often enough.

He should have been invited to review his decision was what I meant to say. They have camera views where they can see an obvious mistake has been made but they let the decision stand because because it wasn't clear and obvious to the ref on the pitch. We have a situation where the last three goals against us should have possibly been disallowed and it's making a farce of the game, not just for City, but every other club when this nonsense happens.
