If Aknaji had fouled Rashford before Fernandes shot, would it have been a penalty to Utd?

How the fuck is that not offside?

Play in red

Is your glass always half empty? Something is seriously wrong with us at the moment. It’s a lot of our so called miserable ,depressing fans who all call Pep out. The most successful manager we’ve ever had. The man that has changed English football. The best football I’ve ever seen from the Manchester City team. We can’t beat everybody so suck it up. Also, our home ground where the fans always leave so early en masse walkout. That’s disgusting as well as no passion from the fans at home where we are so so quite.. very embarrassing support. This team very passionate just like our manager and our owners.that hurt me today. I hate losing derbys.

Jings, try and get over yourself...where do I say anything negative about Pep?...

Ah well nevermind. Them mardarses was on a run, the crowd was up for it, we are stinking the place out lately, was the correct result in my eyes, we offered nothing.

We've had one shot on target in 180mins of football. You can't tell me that is normal! We're in a crisis right now, something is seriously wrong just by looking at tge body language.

And i don't want to hear about their 1st goal. He was offside, if he touches it he's flagged offside. He didn't. They scored. End of.

Pep needs to do something and quick. The lot of them are feeling sorry for themselves, our form has fell off a cliff and we stink. Foden is obviously playing injured, he is a shadow of himself.

Still not even halfway in the season yet and lots to play for but fuck me we need to act and act fast.

Take the shit from the rags, let them woop it up, we are going for the league, they are going for top 4.

Roll on Thursday.

Peter Walton said it should so they must all be wrong ;)

If Peter Walton told me the time I’d double check with the speaking clock.

Here’s the angle we needed to see: Ederson is completely affected by Rashford, Fernandes has the shot he can because of Rashford affecting Ederson’s position.

Yup. that is a player in an offside position clear influencing the game by their actions and who is therefore interfering with play.

 

[Bluearmy]

If Aknaji had fouled Rashford before Fernandes shot, would it have been a penalty to Utd?

Yes, even if outside the box

 

[chesterbells]

That second only happens because City's heads were probably all over the place after the first goal is allowed, incorrectly, to stand. You have to be strong mentally but you also cannot help being human.

Yes, that’s very fair comment pal, and agreed.

He's obviously not interfering with play. Fuck right off.

 

[Father Paul]

Looking that way.

On current form we might need to win the fucking thing, to qualify for the Champions League next year.

That first goal was day light robbery,we all agree on that.I am still in shock about it.

Fact is though,yet again we were incapable of managing a 1 goal lead.

Soon as we scored it was revert to type,the new normal at City, playing Dog shit again miss placed pass after miss placed pass.

That first half i felt we were deliberately ignoring Haaland playing to Pep plan of retain possession at all costs, passing to the side,and to the back. Haaland was being ignored.The players were consciously ,very deliberately playing that way.Fearing the Rags more than playing to our strengths.That was a game plan,get to half time 0-0.

Why have we suddenly stopped passing to him ?.One shot on target against Basement dwellers and the Rags.It is astonishing.

Second half we started off much better.Looking to go forward.We score.And just like that,we go to shit again,players making stupid passes,full backs leaving acres of space behind,it is so stupid and Niaeve.

We were winning ffs,but were incapable of managing it.It was shocking.

Sooner or later we are going to have a difficult conversation of where we go with Pep whether we want to have the conversation or not.He has been a great manager for us and won a shit load of Trophies.

The fact is though, based on this season performances, we are regressing badly on the Pitch.Players are not performing.Some of them actually look fat and unfit.The beautiful fast tikki-takka football has morphed in to Franken-football.Slow dull insipid Robotic build up play.Emphasis more about keeping possession than creativity.The creative players look like they have had all their creativity coached out of them.

Pep has committed to us for a further 12 months.Which is good news.....or is it ?

Is 12 months going to be enough time for Pep to rebuild this current team,which cycle right now looks done ?.

I am not over reacting,just being realistic.You stand still in football, and dine out on recent success you end up spending a decade in the wilderness like the Rags have.There is no room for sentiment.

Things are not right at the moment we can all see that in the performances.There needs to be changes,or Top 4 is not guaranteed.

Maybe we need to bring in a better Number 2,more vocal, with more of a personality.Maybe someone like Vinny.Obviously if he would give up the Burnley job. with a view to him becoming heir apparent at City.Maybe Zabba if he has his coaching badges.Something needs to change.

Wtf is this place hahaha

Fuck off

 

[Betterdeedthan red]

Never seen anything like that decision.
I've had a season ticket for 30 years.
I actually really feel like say enough is enough.
Is there actually any point going anymore might aswell watch American wrestling at least they admit that's bollocks

Given the way they interpreted the laws, yes.

 

[svennis pennis]

We needed Father Ruben to be playing to have found that out. Sure he would have clobbered the fucker knowing it was free hit what with him clearly being offside.

Clearly offside.

Exactly if Rashford is not there Akanji or the keeper get the ball, that’s interfering with play.

 

[jimharri]

We won't win that

I never said we would.

Not a pissing competiton but 50 years as a season ticket holder and that is a contender for the worst piece of officiating I have ever seen.

 

[Blueboy73]

Fair dos pep he has been like this since he has been here and guess what we still get shafted like today! Fergie would of ran on the pitch and yossard the referee for that decision

Pep is far too classy.
The GPC was a disgrace, an arrogant bully.
Like all bullies he couldn't handle it when people stood up to him. Mancini had his number.

 

[PPT]

We can blame the officials all we want but we are dropping points regularly now and against teams that are potential relegation fodder. We have bought the best out and out most wanted number 9 on the planet but don’t change or adapt our game or tactics to suit him. We have a World Cup winning striker on the bench but refuse to bring him on when we are chasing the game and desperately need a goal. That is on Pep and Pep 100% alone. His stubbornness is starting to cost us. It is clear the squad are starting to get disgruntled. Something has to change and quickly. Spurs next week and they have a habit of giving us more than a game. If we drop points to them at home then a top 4 spot is under serious threat.

 

[citymad]

Shocking officiating. We’ve had some go our way in the past so I guess it all evens out eventually.

 

[MadchesterCity]

CORRUPTION and it SHOULD be CALLED OUT
