Arteta must be laughing, so much added motivation before their derby tomorrow..

1-0 up and collapse in a derby like this, utter shit. dont care about the ref, we play to the whistle, but we were stupid and stopped running. albeit refs have some explaining to do now or Pep needs to do this to leave Haaland upfront for obvious offsides and him shielding the ball and interefere until others get there if this is indeed possible.
 
We can talk about the offside decision but at the end of the day we had one shot on target in the whole game and only played decent for about 20 minutes

As bad as the decision is, you can’t expect to play teams in the top four, have one shot on target and be winning games
we were in control after the one shot and could probably have got more, we were robbed plain and simple

Controlled the game. 1 shot on target. Laughable really.

A lot of assured, confident performances but still so stale. It’s not the City we know.

That first goal can get to fuck as well. He’s shielding the ball and blocking the path for Akanji to get to it. How isn’t that interfering?! The linesman flagged for Rashford then has told the ref that - does it not get checked further than that? VAR seemingly didn’t bother. Any opportunity to gift something away from us is swept up with glee.
 
From the FA rule book on offside.
    • making an obvious action which clearly impacts on the ability of an opponent to play the ball
Akanji slowed down because Rashford had ran in front of him. The only way he could have got to Fernandes is if he ran through Rashford would would have been a foul.
