kurtsimonw Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 Second one was predictable. As soon as City countered I told my dad this will end in a goal. Clear foul down the other end, funny how often that happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurtsimonw Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 Sterling too honest, should've had a pen. Spurs go down the other end and equalise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoelVilla Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 Why not just give the game to Spurs? I am a neutral but City are robbed here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man City don't score their 2nd if not for the ref. Pep just didn't adjust, again. When you have a lead, you can't just keep playing the same way IMO. It's easy to say "Don't fix what is working". But it was working against the way Spurs currently had themselves set up. Spurs changed, City didn't and it cost them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Spurs equaliser could easily have been flagged as well. But anyway it was a clear pen and a red card against Walker that the ref missed. That's what decided the outcome not tactics.

PaulC Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 (edited) Blatant though weren't it and it gives reason to the argument that players should dive. Edited January 21, 2017 by PaulC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you still have to adjust, you can't basically play with 5 attacking midfielders/wingers + a striker and not give up chances. He needs to make changes quicker. He made the same mistake at home against Chelsea. I do agree that City were **** over by the ref today, but at the back it's just so poor. It's not just the keeper or the defenders either, the protection from the midfield is comical. I do agree with you on diving though. Players diving isn't all players fault, it's just as much on refs. Kodjia v QPR away is the perfect example. Ref has a perfect view of him being pulled all over the place, doesn't give anything until Kodjia goes to ground. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah it's surprising how mediocre the top keepers are at saving penalties....just looking and Lloris and DDG aren't great at saving them either. Think Diego Alves at Valencia has a brilliant record....saved 12 of his last 16 faced or something ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
