Also fine to play the ball with your elbow apparently as that’s what they used for the offside. Game is becoming a joke.

Yes, it's also no longer a handball now when the ball strikes your arm when it's deliberately raised up next to your face.

 

[Zenmanc]

We could also do with fewer happy-clappies who refuse to see we are miles away from where we have been in the recent past.

Well, wake up and get used to the FACT that we will NEVER experience the levels of sustained greatness that we did over the last decade.

And who drew those lines?

 

[Roachy]

Remember the Ederson one at Arsenal where the player got the shot away but then Eddy clattered him and it was penalty given

I certainly do. The decisions have become ridiculous and the bullshitting attached to them even more so.

Absolute joke that's classed as onside

Well let’s hope Spurs do the jobb today, it's was to bad we could not get momentum after the Liverpool victory, enoughs said on the refs but the VAR room must be buried as many of you said already how can they so often get it wrong with all the technology there is now? It's horrible, they are never consistent.

The game could have gone either way poor finishes, decisions not going our way, agree that starting cherki against a fysical mid maybe not the best.
I want to go back to the time when we could go 1 to 2 goals down make changes and the game ended with win that's not the case right now

Worrying the amount of chances we conceded yesterday and the amount we didn't take. Said it a few times now we seem to manage to lose games we shouldn't. Think a draw would have been a fair result yesterday. And I think we need to replace dias with a real top draw center back a leader with pace and strength or get someone really during in midfield who can really get around the pitch at pace.

I thought it was noticeable yesterday after we equalised it was Dias who was doing the fist pumping to other players
and shouting out to them. By contrast Bernardo was nowhere to be seen or heard

 

[The Light Was Yellow Sir]

It’s obvious that the brodcasters influence decision making from the VAR team

To be fair, both the commentators thought he’d be off to the monitor and would have given the penalty.

 

[pepguardiola'smoustache]

I've never really been one for the idea that officials are bent against us, but that was a full-on piss-take yesterday and am coming round to the idea because, aside from an obvious handball, a pretty clear foul on foden that would've been given anywhere else on the pitch and the constant allowing of our players to be kicked and manhandled without punishment, actually releasing a cartoon-drawn image is genuinely ridiculous and could well have been imaged a second or 2 before the ball's point of release from the newcastle player, let alone the fact that an arm cannot be used in the off-side rule, all adds up to a very suspicious set of circumstances to say the least.

That said, if haaland and foden had been wearing their shooting boots early doors it wouldn't have come to this.

The main positive from it all is what a supreme shot-stopper our keeper is and i feel that, eventually, when the seemingly promising signs within the team hopefully click better, we will go far because of him.

Having reflected on yetsterdays game, officials not withstanding, I do find it frustrating that Villa, Newcastle, Bournemouth and Liverpool all play essentially the same game. In the 2 home games we played through the press, flooded midfield centrally, played quickly and picked them off. In the away games we played sideways, walking football and we’re continually caught out, giving up some big chances. On the face of it, there doesn’t seem to be a logical reason why we can’t play the same way against teams that try to press high, whether home or away.
Anyway, onwards and upwards and let’s finish November on a high by putting the Germans and the Tykes to the sword. COYB.

IMO City should be asking questions of VAR as to how the decision involving Dias playing a Newcastle player onside was arrived at, particularly which image was used to arrive at this decision.
Also why was the referee not advised to go to the monitor and view the Foden incident?
Should the club be requesting the PL major decisions panel do a review as they did for the Liverpool disallowed goal?
Any punters on here with connections in the club if you're bothered and have the time who can put these questions to the club?

 

[HorlocksWalk]

Look at the precedent this sets. Next time a skill player lets one go on the box just clatter him as hard as you can — like what happened to Pele in the 60s. Try to take him out; injure him. Who knows if we would have scored the pen given our general ineptitude at such things periodically but I don’t even care so much about that — purposeful dangerous play must be punished and the referee let that go. Disgraceful.

Just wait while he shoots then punch him in the face, it would be better if maybe two or three could attack him?

It really bugs me that we just accept this bollocks.

We really need to start asking questions it's absolutely ridiculous.

Not in the U.S., where Foden’s was called a “coming together.”

Amazing.

Yes. What I am thinking more of is that the VAR team get their feeds from the broadcasters and there is communication between the broadccasters and the VAR officials. It is clear that certain incidents are chosen for scrutiny while others are ignored. Who decides which incidents to select? Why do the broadasters get het up over some incidents but not others? Why is the process not transparent? The paying customers, in the ground,and those who pay for TV coverage are not shown how the process works. The fans, who fund the entire sport one way or another, are shut out of the process. What have they got to hide? I am not sure it is corruption but some decisions are obviously affected by human bias.

 

[stonerblue]

If a tackle is “late” and it connects with the player, it becomes a foul at that point.

There is literally no law, nor interpretation of any law, that could lead to any honest professional referee not giving a penalty yesterday.

They are bent.

It's not fucking hard is it. Stone cold penalty all day long.

Afuckingmen to all of that.

They only just came "together" if he'd been any later he'd have missed completely.

 

[Sam69]

You can't expect to win an away game if you miss all those opportunities.
