That at certain stadiums we just don’t perform as well? We’ve got away with a few at their place but battered them at home? Spurs away as well was always one of, Anfield besides the covid season is always a game we tend to shit the bed as well?

Is that the Spurs where we've had two 5-1 wins in the past 14 years and might well have won in the CL and PL had we not missed penalties at 0-0. Or the Spurs we beat three times at Wembley in about four seasons.
 
They had more clear chances than us, we could have conceded 5 today easily, it's worrying as they aren't in good form and don't have a proper striker yet still deserved to win

I’m in fuerteventura , watched the game in a bar sat next to a geordie , Schar took Foden out he said penalty straight away .
He shook his head and said he couldn’t believe it wasn’t given , if it was the other way round he’d of gone mental .

Work group chat has Spuds, Forest, a token rag, a few Leicester, Blackburn and an Evertonian.

All of 'em said pen...and again for the handball.

I thought we played OK today, we were the better team for 45 minutes, and they spent the last 20 with a wall of 10 defenders.

The main reason we didn't win or draw, was the woeful forward play (Doku first half apart). At the moment Cherki is adding little, and is a bit of a passenger, Foden offered little either, Haaland's best efforts were in our defence, and the subs largely awful.

This.
Bar Haaland we just have very little goal threat. Bobb, Savinho are nowhere near the quality needed and we no longer have Kev so lack that goal threat from midfield. Think the Burnley defender is still our 2nd highest PL scorer 12 games in.
Even our recent win v the Dippers, it took 2 lucky goals to put us 2 up, we just have zero clinical finishing throughout the squad bar Haaland.

Plus we are woeful and that’s being kind from set pieces but in the last half a dozen games, we now look inept at defending them also.

We are just a good not great team and no better than lots of other teams. We fail constantly to win away at any decent teams and top 4 is still our battle this season.
But it wouldn’t hurt if we practiced our finishing in training and brought in a competent set piece coach.

And look at the issue of why we crumble so often in 2nd halves of games

You know that once VAR take longer than a couple a minutes, it's no longer making a decision, it's trying to justify a decision. That computer generated image to justify the onside is just plain embarrassing.

Serious question. Is that the much vaunted semi automatic system? If so has it been programmed to class the sleeve as an allowed data point? If that is the case then why not move the vertical line to the point nearest the goal? It does t make sense.

Good job Dias wasn’t wearing a long sleeved shirt or Guimares would have been a yard onside!!!

It’s absolutely fucking MENTAL that it took so long to call, when the INITIAL PICTURES showed he was OFFSIDE…and it took 10 mins to find an “automated offside” view they could use to show him ONSIDE.

And, don’t get me started on this fucking travesty…

That’s not only late, but high and EYES CLOSED WITH TWO FEET OFF THE GROUND, so couldn’t possibly have been in control!

“He got his shot off” only proves the point of HOW FUCKING LATE THE FOUL WAS!!

It should have been a red card and a penalty. And, I’m saying RED, not just because it was a foul on an obvious goal scoring opportunity, but because it was serious foul play that WOULD have broken his ankle or worse if his foot had been planted.

How Pawson on VAR cannot call that foul is not only a joke, but tantamount to CHEATING! There I said it! THAT, RIGHT THERE, IS CHEATING!!

Look at what got yellow cards later in the game and compare them to that challenge! Night and fucking day!!

EXACTLY!!

The video still shows he’s OFFSIDE, but they look for the ONSIDE VERSION WHEN THERES NO BALL IN THE PICTURE TO SHOW WHEN IT WAS ACTUALLY PLAYED!!!

it’s a disgrace!!

And, City should remove the band on the arm of the short sleeve shirt, or make it a sleeveless version!!

UFB!!

International breaks will destroy the big leagues.

The apathy from domestic fans during and just after is noticeable.
Our rhythm had gone and players looked fooked.
It's the same for all the top sides, need players to start turning pointless caps down!

I'd love that to happen.

Apparently, the bit he used to connect with the ball, his head, was onside. VAR has turned Football into a shit show circus.
