Match Day Thread Vs Man City (A)

At the risk of getting the 'victims' tag again:

Talking of which, Kudos to the City fan who rang 5 Live last night condemning fellow City fans for chanting 'Murderers' and 'It's never your fault' after the Mane incident. In HIS words, what on earth is that to do with Hillsborough? Scum.

 

Well it's very clear to me utd are now favourites for league cos city can't defend and lfc will seriously struggle for 4th.

In the last week of window a small bit of hope was raised but by the time 12 months roll by we could be 6th starting all over again... ox.. meh. Lemar.. pity.. no cb.. as we all knew vvd was never coming was criminal.

 

He shouldn't even be 10th choice. No choice whatsoever He's garbage, wouldn't even get into Accrington Stanley's side.

With all due respect to Accrington Stanley. Poor buggers!

 

So, despite Klopp having an entire transfer window he decided Klavin was good enough, bottom line for me
Is,
As much as I wanted Klopp to take over from Brendan he has shown his weakness either to his employers or his players, otherwise he would have strengthened our defence, can't understand why he never.

 

I still think we'd be hard pushed to get hold of a better manager and I'm not giving up on him yet, but there are real problems in defence that he doesn't seem able to overcome. Maybe we just need to bring in a new specialist defensive coach, because although ours may not be the best defenders individually, surely they can be coached to be a more efficient unit?
There are better defences out there with worse players, imo.

 

Sorry don't agree and as demonstrated today with a higher boot than manes it doesn't always result in red
Keeper stooped down
In all of the bad pics where connection is made goalie not only bends his head but his body is bent

It made no difference to overall result imho
But the decision will not be consistent all season and we can argue all we want about it.

In game that I played today one of opposition fell over and was kicked in side of ribs
Was it dangerous - yes
Was it intentional - no
Was he sent off - no
Was my mate carded - no

Have you seen ferdinands tweet with pic ?
Not even a booking
Which is also what I said about outfield players

Make no doubt the goalie made this look bad (not intentionally)

There will be loads of these that don't see red
One again today in swans game

 

Neville thought it wasn't a red
Lineker thought it wasn't a red

 

Yep, keeper heading the ball at head height, wtf was he thinking

 

The same as Mane was when Stones did that to him?

 

Read your posts today - lmao
Said yesterday understood why was given red just don't agree with it - I am allowed to think that as all you guys who think it was are
Try being a pendantic tit all you want
Said didn't alter result also thought ref had reasonable game
My beef is the consistency
Called it yesterday would happen again with differing result and it did today
One day later lmao
Believe there has been another and also Rio didn't think it was a red.
It one of those where The two sides will never agree.
Unfortunate is best way I can describe it
However you did manage to unite us all into think you were a massive cockwomble trying to say it was intentional - impressive

 

So we even had inconsistencies in the same game
How the **** did I miss that

 

He was chest height imo btw taking into account stoop and bend
Mane is only small but he was jumping

 

Pretty much, yes.

 

First one to show I said it was intentional I will apologise to

 

Think saint did earlier
But you won't apologise
Not fussed either way
Just catching up - been at a match today where there was more assault
Had to post a few in case we get accused of disappearing after a very sh!t result

 

Back to footy matters
Genuinely what happened at stoke?
Was en route to a gig only. Can't listen to radio when we have been smashed
Tough place to go but genuinely thought you guys would have smashed them
I am on record as liking Jose, no idea what caused the lack of hand shake ?

 

We played a team that played very well, I can have no complaints about the result.
There were 5 or 6 of their players who were really impressive with special shout outs to Wimmer and Zouma, up front Choupa-moting was sharp, Jese and Shaqiri looked like the players they should be, Fletcher was ok and Allen had a good game.
We will not be the last team to drop points against Stoke if they play like that.

 

They have had some good performances so far this season when everyone said they were going to struggle
All credit to them
Fairly certain we will drop points to them

 

First half decent team you've had to play this season and you were #nailedon to drop points

Mourinho walking out of the post-match interview whinging yet again about "one team tried to win, one team tried to draw"

New season, same #meltdown from your #chequebookmanager

 

TOTL.
