Don’t worry about the penalty decision, we’d only have missed it anyway!

Yeah, but we should still have had the pen without Moss 'n VAR chalking up a miss! We are entitled to miss it under our own steam. Won't be long before Rags n' Dippers are given goals without the ball crossing the line because the whistling wanker thought they should have scored.

Maine Road wasn’t always pristine - this would be late 60’s or early 70s

That was a bowling green compared to the shit heap that was, and still is, The Swamp!

Spot on from Didsbury Dave. Pep knows that individual mistakes of the sort we saw last night lose you games in the later stages of The Champs League. Lapses of concentration in most PL games can be countered by going up the other end and scoring or battering someone in the next game. In knock out CL you get fewer chances so you can't afford mistakes that cause goals against. His remarks about players were in interesting too. Kicks up the arse based mainly on mistakes last night for players he trusts such as Gundo, Walker and Bernardo but more serious doubts about a few - possibly Laporte and Mendy. Wonder what he thinks about Sterling and Jesus at present? Hope Serge can give us something before the end of the season, though I'm not sure he can, and I take back everything I've thought about Mahrez (well, for now at least!).

Even the notorious Peter Walton, on the penalty incident

”Moss made a clear and obvious error - the very thing VAR was introduced to correct. In this case it only made things worse.”

Wow, for that vitriolic little hateful prick to say that about that decision when it went against City is everything you need to know.

Not playing him and Bernie vs the scum was plain stupid. A lot on here called that before the game and it turned out as expected. I love Pep but it will take me some time still to get over that. But Pep doesn't see the derbies as anything special so there's that.

Could it not be that pep is ‘managing the squad and game time?’
The derby is important‘I agree!’

but the bigger picture -at least to pep ,is to get over the line in as many comps as possible?
He is doing ,and has done an amazing job ,
Let’s have a count up at the end of the season and see what we think then ?

let Utd have their 3 points -it will make no difference again ,as their last 3 victories against us at the Etihad have,

maybe they can mint a special ‘ we beat City trophy ‘ and they can play Leicester for it next week

Really really poor last night. We looked totally unbalanced for about 70 minutes of the game. Only the period after half time did we look anywhere near in control, adn yet we still conceded in that time.

Need to tighten up again.

One thing I will say though, is that in years gone by we would have lost or drawn a game following a defeat. At least we aren't that City anymore.
