City played well, very bad referee though. I don't remember any VAR replays for controversial decisions in this game.

But if playing like today for the remained season I think City still have chance to win PM.

What did they create? Rashford FH and that's it. And that one was due to Ederson mistake. Nothing else. We cobtrolled the game and we were better, but some people here will moan about anything. This is a hard match, ofc we won't destroy them easily

They created 2 first half and we created fuck all. Created 2 is kind of pushing it cos Ederson ballsed up but it was still a chance more than we had first half

Forget the result, that was clear robbery!
there's nothing you can do againts corruption, we're in a 3 way title fight now.

Not at our fluid best for most of the game, but better for sure.

Undeniably the officials changed the game in favour of the rags.

And I genuinely worry that as a Club we may be adopting a "we cannot win no matter we do" way of thinking.

I'm normally as balanced as they come but anybody reading that offside law, then watching that and somehow coming to the conclusion that Rashford is in no way impacting the action or positioning of the defenders.. fuck me, what are you all watching? This isn't one you can blame on the law being shit, the referees are all absolute fucking wastrels.

Our entire back line was tracking back in a shape to stop specifically him - including, possibly most importantly, where Ederson is stood. Which allows Fernandes to just pass it into the goal.

Did you see the Salah one last week? The defender literally tried to clear it to stop the ball reaching Salah and, in doing so, played him onside. The rule is a complete joke in the way it's written and interpreted, but you can't blame the ref for that

Wtf - is that real?

Yep he said it

 

[burning blue soul]

When that goal was given I had a temporary internal disconnect from the sport.

I'm trying to keep the faith and support my team, but with all the breaks the teams in red get when they play us, it's getting tough.

The Boys in Blue didn’t give in. They fought to the end. Thank you lads, thank you City, thank you fans. It wasn’t to be today with the bad refereeing again.

We’ll bounce back but this one was one I really, really wanted us to win. I’ve now got 7 brothers who are going to give me some stick!!

Ah well, such is life. It’s painful but not the end of the world. As my old Granddad used to tell me, Worse things happen at sea.

Hurry up and get well John Boy. Please!!

Sorry Eccles Blue , I think I've mentioned this previously...do they own a brewery?

Rashford being there in offside position caused confusion and hesitation in our defenders, he’s interfering with play, I don’t know the letter of the law and if they’ve removed “ interfering with play “ I’ve not heard about it

That is just an annoying thing that happened today though and cost us but no point moaning about that there’s much bigger issues with us right now
Most worrying time during Pep

We have certainly benefited from a similar decision on at least 2 occasions, maybe not quite to the extremities of today though.

All round performance being subpar yet again is the biggest issue.

Title fight for top 4 I assume you mean? You've watched us play, why the fuck would we win the league?
