I love it when one of our players develops a reputation for being crap, lazy and useless and suddenly turns it around. Well played Mahrez and great result City.

He's been brilliant lately, but to be fair, he did earn that reputation.

Look on the bright side re the non-penalty...at least we were spared Walton's pathetic analysis...
"No pen there Peter...what is the VAR thinking there?"
"Well, clearly, what has happened is that as Foden chases the ball and approaches Mccarthy, you can quite clearly see him breathing on McCarthy's back..and that contact causes the goalkeeper to slip and accidentally launch himself into Foden's ankle...a complete accident, caused by Foden's initial foul....clearly, the correct decision...no penalty"
"Brill, Peter...thanks for clearing that up"

its not VAR its the incompetence ( I won't use the C word ) of the users.

VAR is useless in assisting for fair minded decisions and correct decisions to eventually be made if you have individuals like that involved.

I will give Moss a leave pass as he might not have seen the foul but he should have been instructed to look at it again and then if he didn't change his original decision so to speak then he is corrupt.

If Moss is blind, he shouldn't be allowed to officiate surely ?

Think the most important part of that interview with pep there was the points he raised of players wanting to fight for the team and the club...if you don't wan a fight your on the bench

I think it might be a shot at Angelino who has had quite a lot to say recently.

Torres, Aguero, and Mendy. More rust than the Forth Rail Bridge.

It's got new paint. What rust?

I think whatever happens this season there’s a fairly sizeable rebuild on the cards over the next 12 months. Tonight proved that in some ways. We’ll probably look back at Gundo’s goals in December and January as a pivotal point in the season.

Hats off to Mahrez as I was always against signing him but tonight proves he contributes significantly at key points in games.

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.

It would never happen under your watch ancoats for sure and certain

I seem to remember that Refs are now told not to punish twice by awarding a pen and sending the player off.

Yes. Only a sending off if it's deliberate foul.

Pep was pissed after the match. He finally had a go so thats 2 pens guaranteed for Fulham on sat.

On the game: Mahrez and Zin were fantastic. The midfield was still over run which is a concern. Far too many defensive changes caused instability and the mistakes crept in. I can see why he is trying to put Kev in the team but John , Dias , Zin and Cancelo is the stability that we need right now.

Pep is trying to keep them all happy and it is effecting us on the pitch but it’s his problem to solve. If at the end of the season we win multiple trophies It will be justified.

Anyway very welcome 3 points.

It’s the paint that’s holding it together.
