Man City vs Liverpool - Premier League (20/21 - Game 8)

On the Gomez pen, I'd be furious if that was against us and not given; it looked a clear-cut pen to me.

On what grounds? No intention to block the cross with his arm, quite the opposite.

Handball rules are crazy.. And always will be.

Under the current rules yes, last year or two years ago that probably isn't given most of the time.

As the rules stand it had to be given, you knew that before the ref even went over to have a look.

Guardiola saying the conversation with Klopp at full time was about how 5 subs are must this season and they should keep fighting for it.

Not a bad game, I would have preferred a 4-3-3 with Jota, Mane and Salah up front, and an extra midfielder instead.

That said we brought the ball forward really well, it was just tiredness that meant we weren't as whip sharp as we were against Atalanta.

Now we have a lovely big rest (internationals notwithstanding) before we face top of the table Leicester!

Happy with that overall, 1-1 toughest game of the season out of the way.

We could've killed them in the 1st half, just missing the final pass / shot.

It's not going to happen unfortunately. IMO it's needed, we are seeing the players pick up more injuries than we have done in recent years, already probably half have the squad have missed games because of injury.

Agreed, but the worst part is that the majority of the key injuries we’ve had so far have been impact injuries (Alisson, Thiago, Virgil). We haven’t even begun to see the worst of the fatigue related injuries yet, although Fab and and now Trent have already gone down to them.

****ing Leicester next. We seem to be playing teams in the top 6 every ****ing week. When do we get a shot at Fulham and West Brom ffs

[Roboklopp]

When we’ve no players left and all their players are rested post internationals.

Watching the gomez handball again...
Instead of trying to pull his arm away he could have just pushed his chest out, and it would have been easier to do.

We are right at the top having had, what I’d say was a pretty challenging start to the season.

[Mark79]

Aways to Chelsea, Everton and City all out of the way already. Plus Arsenal at home.

[Shaggy]

Just noticed we got Leicester, Atalanta on the Weds and then Brighton away in the ****ing 12.30pm on the Saturday. **** right off.

We can relax a bit in the CL, three draws and we're still cruising.

Leicester are no pushover but I think we're better than them. Brighton should be three points, but Wolves will be the hardest test IMO.
