Great result for us why Sanchez is playing instead of jan that’s a mystery

Heat of the moment ?.
Points stands imo as the goal was disallowed on a technicality.
Just going to go back and check all your posts to see if I can point out all your bullshit heat of the moment posts ?

Be my guest and I’m sure you will find some utter bullshit I’ve posted.

But you won’t find me me calling our team a “bunch of fucking losers”. Ever. It’s completely out of line not to mention false.

Heat of moment or not that kind of shit is not on. You need to cut it out mate. It’s embarrassing. For you and for our club and support base. Just not good at all at any time.

Bit worried by Poch's interview. Obviously a lot going on behind the scenes with players wanting to leave. Sounds like a bit of a mess.

Really worried. Teams preformance showing that theres something not right.

I'm impressed you stayed with it and got something out of it!

I am having trouble grasping why some fans seem pissed off, we were away to the best side this country has seen since 1961 and we came away with a point.
If anyone expected us to play high wide and handsome they must be crackers, so we rode our luck but we worked our way to a result in the second half, would a casual observer think City deserved to win? Yes of course they would but did they work harder than us? no they didn't and did they score more goals than us? no they didn't but you can bet your bottom dollar they would have done against any other team in the division.
This game will have done our players the world of good and will have instilled real belief in themselves and each other now lets hope we can build on it.

How did Lo Celso do?

People complain we lost 20 games last season then complain when we convert one of those games into a draw, it's a step in the right direction, we were wise with how we set out, could we have played better, absolutely but missing key players and getting a point from what is a terrific team (that I'm even further sick off after Neville gargled their balls for an hour) is a great result.

Man City fans claiming we’ve paid VAR off despite the CL final

The fact is with the Lamela incident the guy chose to throw himself to the ground.

Was Lamela impeding him? sure, but was it enough for a grown arsed man to fall like a sack of spuds? definitely not.


Having said that, Lamela needs to be told where the limit is on these things as he is on/beyond it a lot...

Worth every penny!

I missed the interview with poch after the game. What did he actually say on Eriksen et al?

Maybe because prior to this window he was our records signing and Verts and Toby won’t be here next season? Jan is a legend but Poch knows who came back from the summer fit and focused.

What did he say??

 

[Col_M]

Literally did not touch the ball

I thought he might touch it at the kick off after their 3 goal. But didn’t need to.

 

[Phomesy]

Literally did not touch the ball

To be fair what a time for Poch to send him on? “Here, Celso mate, get used to the pace of the Premier league nice and easy by going on in the 86th minute away to City with the scores at 2-2”

Lol

vid wont play in the states but if that was Lamela it was the right call. if they start giving pens from VAR for that there will be 3 or 4 a game. happens all the time.

This is where Gary Neville has been talking bollocks post-match.
He said VAR has to over-rule the referee on this incident. That’s not the rule though!
The most the video ref can do is say “in my opinion it’s a foul, so you might want to take another look”.
The decision HAS to be made by the referee and the referee alone.
If VAR didn’t exist it would still be down to the ref as to whether or not he considers it to be a foul.

If the ref doesn’t see the incident at all, then he is likely to review. Oliver obviously saw it, decided it wasn’t a foul, let play go on.
We got lucky, but let’s not have the likes of Neville pinning that one on VAR.

We had 3 shots. One of which was from the half way line.

But it wasn't on target
