the first one was the definition of a counter attack.
It came from us taking a short goal kick.

Exactly. Look at our game against Ajax - complete mismanagement by them to keep attacking us.Didn’t watch the game but tracked progress through Twitter. Amazing how many fans take the piss out of a team with “11 players behind the ball” type comments when said team is in a winning position. I’d call that disciplined
That chance Kane had saved by Ederson was incredible build up as well. Some moments of brilliance tonightThe quality of the build up play ahead of our third goal was something to behold.
Patient and well worked. This team has great potential
No. No he isn’t. You’re reacting to a post that totally misrepresented what he was saying. He actually said we can’t play like that every week. Don’t let yourself get dragged into that.Souness is an idiot. Is he suggesting we play like that every week? Just showing his ignorance
We can also view this as, "the loss to Wolves meant nothing if we can win at City".This win means nothing unless we win Wednesday
Yes. Well said. Not sure if I recall the same level of annoyance when Chelsea beat them in the CL final, by playing a very similar tactic.City claiming they should have won the game because they had most of the ball and did most of the attacking is understandable but sad. What they need to understand is that, self evidently, our defending was better than their attacking and our attacking was better than their defending, their two goals came from a bad mistake by our keeper and a penalty, they never really broke us down and got through us otherwise.
They weren't attacking. The ball had gone dead. By your definition every goal scored from open play is a counter attack.all counter attacks start with your keeper or defenders. They were atacking and stayed up the pitch we countered quickly and scored whether it was a goalkick or the keeper throwing it out quickly makes no difference.
I think that should always be a penalty (but no card, as not intentional). However, other handballs have been dismissed this season when the defender's arm has been in an equally "unnatural" position, so it's one that I would always expect to be given against us, but would expect to be dismissed more often than not when it's for us.
The VAR decision to rule out Kane's goal for offside looked very clear cut, even though it looked onside to me in real time, so the ref probably got all of the "key" decisions right.
However, in terms of general game management (letting minor fouls go, randomly adding on extra injury time etc.), it did feel like a lot went in Man City's favour.
I know subconscious bias influences all of our perceptions, but there have been multiple articles over the years that have statistically proven the 'big' clubs get more decisions their way.
Oh well i fuckin enjoyed that!!!! Antonio Antonio AntoniooooooIll be watching with my sister in laws fella..... Who's a city fan. Cant wait.
I listened to Andy Gray and his creepy mate’s after match ‘analysis’, where he murdered Kulusevski’s name twice and then proclaimed that ‘the two Italian boys’ we’d brought in January had played very well today.MNF is all we have for good insightful football conversation, the rest is generic bullshit.
Souness talking about the style of play today, has he not watched how 95% of teams play vs Man City?
How any times have we beaten them using the same template?
I wish English football analysis and general conversation was on the level of other sports.
