He played OK in the first half and was poor in tbe second just like everyone else.

He was poor in the first half. His ball control was Sunday football standard.

 

[christened at st marks]

That kind of negative officiating gets into the heads of the players and changes their mindset and decision making.

We aren't mentally or physically strong enough to deal with it this season.

Or last

Might be a blessing

Arsenal would destroy us in the final

Chelsea in the final …

What about if all the attacking players threw the defensive players to the ground just before the ball is kicked resulting in a free header for one of them? Does the same rule apply as to the one applied to Haaland getting thrown to the floor?

Yes! A foul can’t be awarded on the pitch when the ball is out of play. That’s been in the laws forever.

If that were to happen, and the ref awards the goal, then he’s never working again!

 

[FogBlueInSanFran]

I’m staggered that 99% of our fans are not pointing the finger at that foul for the first goal. As blatant a foul as there is. It changed the whole game. When you continuously get every single decision going against you, it must drain you. It has a massive effect

I think it’s because we were shit in the 2H leading up to that goal, and shit the rest of the 2H after it.

You need to calm down... lay off the drink

You need to stop pretending being a blue you daft fucker.

 

[Goater101]

We have a manager and assistant who have conflicting styles of play. You can see all season we are just a mixed bag. Sometimes we go direct sometimes we pass around our back four. It’s fucking boring shite football. Only acceptable when you get 3 points which we aren’t

 

[Blu1]

We are struggling to put in a meaningful performance over the full 90 mins at the moment and have been for some time, but I have no doubt we will and consistently, has to be as soon as obviously as this season will be definitely gone league wise if we drop a few more points.

Just a quick mention on the matchday thread, we are not at our best, winning or losing a few of them in there are fucking wankstains, no 1 being the following:

@Blu1 A complete fuckwit **** who every week repeats the absolute same shit whether winning or losing, give it a rest you fucking needy attention seeking prick.

Glad the last 18 months have been good enough for you. We have been piss poor for too long now. But keep clapping

 

[Maybeinanothergeneration]

Pathetic second half performance, hence why we won’t win the league this season.

 

[mick10]

The foul on Haaland at the corner. It’s staggering what they’ve done.


VAR say the key contact was before the corner came in. Ok, so you can do what you want when defending a corner as long as you do it in time.

Yep. As in the life of Brian “ throw him to the ground” I mean if you’re fouled before the balls played but because of that foul you’re on the floor when it is played how the fuck is it not a foul?!

 

[BlueMonkey79]

Score the first goal, then stroll about like we are winning 5 nil.

Spurs in the first half were there for a hammering.

In football there's always gonna be chances for the opposition. Especially with this fragile City team.

Today is the day when the final nail in the coffin on our title chances was hammered in.

How the fuck we are second is beyond me. Our play is laboured, out dated and boring.

The ref was shite but he could quite easily have sent Rodri off and we couldn’t have complained

 

[Enzo's Mascara]

Rodri pulling shirts now. Sadly.

 

[BertTrautmann'sParachute]

We just don't have the right mentality anymore. Shocking.

 

[citymad]

Going forward it might be the kick up the arse the club needs..

You would think that would be the case after the derby result, but it was just a shit with Bodo and now this one.

 

[Allnightlong]

Just watching sky and spuds first goal…..100% foul and nothing said.
Its bollox it really is.

 

[Benarbia’s Backheel]

Semenyo > Haaland

 

[eyalluvitt]

Need to be another 2 up first half against geordies Wednesday or I dread to think

First goal wins it I think, we have the mental strength of Mavis Riley

 

[Phil1]

Cherki blows hot and cold as well and can’t see him dominating and running games like De Bruyne and David Silva did. Reijnders is too lightweight for the PL for the size of him. We ended up with a load of players who could take a touch and pass and nothing else on the pitch when we needed someone who can create.

He's been here 2 minutes for fucks sake. Give him a chance.

 

[Roachy]

The first half wasn't that good - don't kid yourself it was.

Spurs woeful first half, we took advantage. Spurs upped it a bit second half and we didn't respond in any way at all. Poor mentality at the moment.
