Full bank on penalty to Arsenal if it’s still 1-0 after the 85+ minute

Ref is desperate to oblige when they throw themselves to the ground.

These lot are absolute **** dross. One goal with at least 10 minutes left and they’ll fold.

That Everton song is one of the worst I’ve ever heard. 

Tielemans should have been hooked instead of McGinn, had an absolute shocker.

Interested to see if he gives them a chance to get out of it or immediate changes.

Kamara and Digne for Tielemans and Dendoncker at HT for me.

 

Excellent!

Feel a bit for Duran though.

Clinging on to dear life against Everton, Jesus wept.

Id be hauling Tielmans and Dendoncker off at HT.

Great save from Olsen there

What the **** are we doing?

Tielmans looks like he’s running through treacle. Feels like his body can’t do what his brain wants, these flicks into space could be brilliant but he keeps getting outpaced to the ball.

Olsen is completely incompatible with playing the ball out from the back, you won’t see a keeper more uncomfortable with the ball at his feet. 

Showing more than enough threat to score a few goals though.

String of fouls from Newcastle, cynical trips and shirt pulls..... Not a hint of a yellow.

Dirtiest side in the league, lose the ball and they are instantly grabbing and leaving their man in heap to either win the ball or stop the counter.

They get away with absolute murder.

Bias aside, i actually think referees should bring some consideration into these things, despite the black and white rules.

You're 27 minutes into a massive game, was the RED REALLY necessary?

You're ruining a game.

Whilst I understand where you are coming from, from an entertainment perspective. I think this reasoning is why some refs can make such terrible and bias decisions, they are there to enforce the rules not direct the show.

Ah, thought it was a penalty. Clear red as it wasn’t ‘double jeopardy’ with a penalty, he was through on goal.

Klopp’s insistence in shoe-horning Trent in the side despite the fact he is criminal off the ball will be his downfall.

No Southgate fan but he has it bang on with him.

Gordon dive for me

If you wanted something more from this then go for it. Given the news around them being called out for cheating, we knew they would come out firing. Plus we’ve hit a slump defensively and Mings is out. I was expecting a 5-0 loss so I’m not too bothered. Would I like better? Of course but I’m not letting my day get ruined by an expected outcome given all the circumstances.

It’s been an atrocious half from us, no matter who we are playing. You’ve taken exception to the ‘outrage’ of calling a spade a spade as its City not Brentford. If think expecting a better first half than this unrealistic then why even bother.

I mean.. it’s still Man City. If this was Brentford I’d be more inclined to outrage.

Lol.

Yes we definitely couldn’t have expected anything even slightly better than this.

Where are the “it’s fine” brigade now?

Dreadful performance so far.

Can’t just be me who think’s were playing just fine? Massive over reactions in here again.

I think it’s been dreadful.

They are finding space and cutting through us with ease time and time again, we are very fortunate not to be at least another 1 or 2 down and when we do get the ball we are struggling to string together even basic passes and or a half decent first touch.

Not expecting us to go toe to toe with them but it we are offering nothing as it stands.

Minor miracle if we keep this to 1-0 for HT, so much space for them.

I'm with you mate, I do think we have got it, just never seem to work as hard as we should in some games.

Double post

I'm very happy all in all, especially considering Gerrard had us flirting with relegation. I'm in no way expecting Europe this season and think they'll be a relatively significant revamp in the summer.
