It's a team sport Kaz. If we don't win the game that could have been a costly error by Phil. He wouldn't have been diving if he'd stayed down and would probably have got the penalty. Sad state of affairs but thats just the way it is.Phil, i am honest guy and i dont like to dive
Good boy
Don't think the Keeper would have been sent off if the penalty had been given. Genuine attempt to play the ball.very good lesson tonight in we can not take the officials or VAR to be fair for both clubs
clearly dodgy doings tonight and city of old would have lost the plot and get a couple of players sent off and the manager sat in the stand. first the southampton pen was a joke and if that's a pen then we should have 3 or 4 every game. second how on earth is the foden pen shout not given and the keeper sent off
southampton played utd the other week and VAR and the officials give utd everything even sending off pens offside goals handballs and a 9.0 win ? tonight southampton should have been down to 10 men and nobody could have moaned clear foul on foden and pen game over
I wonder who Alex from Yatton supports? My guess it's not one of the Bristol clubs.From BBC
"For all Man City's success and wealth (just look at that squad!) their club lacks the most important thing, a soul. People may laugh but the reason other clubs like Liverpool, Man Utd, Arsenal amongst others come through hardships is because of a real fan base that helps to push the club on coupled with genuine principles that these clubs live by. Money is part of the modern game but aside from this what do City have? A belief in the academy? Loyalty from players? Or fans? I don't think so. Would Pep stick around if they were still at Maine Road without the wealth? They can't even fill their own stadium at the best if times. Yes they'll win the league but they won't win the hearts of football fans."
Alex, Yatton
1. Of course the bbc post this on the match feed.
2.We should start a collection for Alex so he can buy some books, get some internets and realise History started a lot fucking earlier than 2008. FUCKING MARDY ARSE ****.
VAR doesn’t work because it’s the same inept fuckwits in the studio who are also the reffing on other match days making the mistakesIt's unrealistic to expect VAR to get everything right but every other game has a talking point. It's failed no question and we don't need any more time to finesse it.
I am sure in years to come we will have technology that works but at the moment VAR is not working. A shame that a wonderful performance by Riyadh has been overshadowed by VAR again.
It's obvious - all of our players continually miss the target and as a consequence Eddy never gets near any of them so never gets used to making the save. ;-)))You can only imagine IF we ever practice them what happens in training with us not being able to take a penalty to Eddy never saving one
This.Jon Moss hang your head in shame you corrupt bastard
He’s really antsy tonight. Is it because it was one of those performances that has cost us the champions league in the past? It can’t just be the penalty. Or has something else happened? He seemed grumpy before the game. I remember him bein like this a year or two ago and it turned out his family got pressure from the police about a Catalonia issue.
he has vagina on his nose .
Still not seeing itthere's a slight deviation of the ball after Foden touches it. Seen it on a FB site Manchester City F.C.
Even if there was a touch from the keeper (and I did consider it at the time) the ball was not 'cleared' into a remotely safe area and could have then been easily slotted home into the open net if Foden had been allowed to continue his run.Still not seeing it
The Baseball Ground springs to mind...You should have seen the pitches in the 1960s and 1970s. You would be hard pressed to find four blades of grass to rub together on the entire playing surface.
We need to drop Laporte and get the Stones/Dias partnership back.Another 3 points. Bit worried the defence is losing its edge a bit. Think Chelsea may well finish the season with the best defensive record at this rate. Laporte does not look good at all.
I love the Saints Manager, and I also have a lot of respect for his team.that was a tough first half hour, the best any team against us this season by a long shot, fair do's southampton for the bollocks to go toe to toe with us
it wasn't until the blatant cheating from the ref that got us going
kudos to riyhad devestating in that last 10 mins of the first half and killed the game
second half it was a case of how many
Great interview as well, interesting seeing him and Pep discussing the game during the match, not seen that before.I love the Saints Manager, and I also have a lot of respect for his team.
3-1 down and they still go at it, 4-1 down and they went even harder.
They are a good side to watch, and thankfully, it's looking like they'll stay up,
and playing like they did last night, I think they'll do that easily.
This. Pretty much every one of our goals was a thing of beauty last night.I mute a lot during city games. Waffling on about money at the start, underwhelming response to us scoring, orgasmic response to the opposition scoring. It really shouldn’t be like this, we are playing amazing winning football and most of the audience are blues, so why not cater to them? That’s what I liked about the Everton game on Amazon.
