F'ing Messi!!!

he wasnt player tonight you dickhead.

 

[mancity1]

properly was the moderator himself post it

Someone should be out of a job for that unless they convince someone who decides their future tenure it was a genuine error of judgement.

fantastic! “we did it by ourselves “

That stood out for me too, thats pep indirectly saying no dodgy refs or shit VAR has aided us like it has other teams.
Was buzzing hearing him say that, if the penny hasn't dropped about the goings on then tonight it has.

Better result than performance. Foden, Mahrez and KDB did well. Laporte and Fernandinho not great. Walker gave away possession so often.

Moss was incredibly incompetent, the penalty non decision on Foden shows how poor the premier league referees are. VAR isn’t working because you have an awful ref on the pitch backed by another awful ref in Stockley Park. Instead of using VAR to give the referee another pair of eyes it’s giving 2 fools an excuse to come to wrong decision.

4 fouls committed by Southampton...in 93 minutes...a foul every 23 minutes....says it all really about Moss

 

[hateutd]

the team, apart from the victory, does not have a good performance .... in some parts of the match, it is ok, but seems to be in a small crisis .... among other things, I think Pep's behavior in Aguero is unfair...

Anyway, I wasn't overwhelmed with our performance.

Southampton really made us struggle with the ball, and we lacked the control to handle it. Fortunately, Southampton's press left their defence vulnerable and we did a really good job trying to exploit it.

Mahrez, Foden, Dias, Zinchenko, and Ederson all impressed me individually. Mahrez in particular. I think collectively we showed a strong attitude and that was really important to our win.

It was nice to see Aguero, Torres, and Mendy all get minutes.

I expect this performance to be a blip. I think against Fulham we'll be back to our robotic, living in 2nd gear best.

Its all about getting points on the board, performance takes a back seat.

Statement released, Some codswallop about the ref thinking their keeper got a hand on it, so didnt see anything to disprove that view. Totally bizarre

What the fuck are they on about? The on field referee could be mistaken but the VAR has the opportunity to look at the incident from several different angles.

 

[BuryBlue1977]

It’s preventing a clear goal scoring opportunity, not only should it be a pen the keeper should have walked.

Sky were awful trying to defend it, glad Souness called it out for the absolute shit show it was from the ref.

It wouldn’t have been a red even if the pen had correctly been given as the keeper was making a genuine attempt for the ball

can somebody not question the officials and VAR after night ? it could have cost city a fair 3 points
football should be fair for everybody and both teams shake hands and walk off. but when you see what happen tonight clear cheating by the officials that can not be defended by video

clearly they don't want city winning the league.. if they can get utd back in the title race by turning a blind eye to a stone wall pen and a sending off. then city will know after tonight we have to kill the game off as quickly as possible and take the officials out of the game ?

i leave you with this go and watch the game utd vs southampton then watch tonights game
clearly cheating is going on and the game is bent
