Have to say - disallowing a perfectly legitimate goal because of a foul as the ball was going into the net is shocking.

QuincyAbeyie

daredevil why? If they'd let Szosssbsowbozlai's pull go because of an advantage to City it'd then be a freekick to Liverpool instead because of Haaland's pull later on. Unless you're suggesting that it should be allowed to make fouls in the period of time where you're given the advantage.

City will be 3 points behind by the time we face Brentford, need to be top of our game to back to 6 points again.

RowJimmy

Like Caicedo, he IS that kind of player.

Panda

Had a feeling it wouldn't end up being the 9pts gap everyone was expecting after this fixture.

Qwiss

All the talk about that last goal has everyone forgetting Guehi should've had a red for the pull back on Salah. 100% dogso.

banduan

Qwiss nah man he was covered was not dogso. Was still cynical as fuck mind.

Qwiss

banduan covered how? If he doesn't get pulled back then the shot is on. DOGSO is denial of a goal scoring opportunity, not denial of a guaranteed goal.

Gurgen yeah they were terrible yesterday and Liverpool weren't exactly brilliant either. City got the win because Liverpool have zero depth and fell apart at the end. That City midfield couldn't even dominate Liverpools. We are the best team in the league, anything less than the title is a massive bottle job.

For me the way things have shaped up this is not a season we should be looking at everyone else claiming us against us. Things have very much fallen for us in terms of rivals not being at it and we've be given plenty of opportunities already to get points on them. It's all on us if we don't get it done yes because we didn't have the character and quality none of this conspiracy nonsense.

Gurgen

To be honest we should go and beat them at their plastic shithole. There's no reason to consider that a loss as many do. We're much better than they are, if only we believe and are brave enough.

Tam

Gurgen Could have said much the same about the trip to Anfield and look how that turned out.

I think we'll approach that game seeking to not lose it rather than win it, certainly a more understandable approach than Anfield to be honest, but that puts you in a much more precarious position.

Mirth

Gurgen We're much better than they are, if only we believe and are brave enough.

So we’re going to play for a draw. Got it.

HomeSteak

Gurgen we have not won there in 11 years. We scored there last year in the 2-2, but before that it took us 6 years to score 2 goals, and both came at then of games where we got trashed.

Add the pressure, Arteta playing not to lose. Do not count on a win there, a 0-0 is our best chance to get something out of it.

banduan

yeah bout team we get rid of our poor record there.

RocktheCasbah

TO BE FAIR TO us, having recovered from going a goal down early at their place last season, we were playing them off their own pitch until Michael Oliver (it was him, right?) intervened.

There's no reason we can't do that again, especially with the options we now have. And if we can keep the status quo as it is, or even improve it (I know, I'm a dreamer), all the pressure will be on them.

Burnwinter

We've looked like having what it takes to beat them at the Etihad for a while. It's not the same as doing it, but I think we're more than capable of it.

FEBravo

Mirth We will play not to concede first and foremost, so not playing for a draw per se, as the hope will be we can nick one on a set piece or if a good chance presents itself

--

How often do we play 0-0s? Not very, i'd wager

HomeSteak

-- We do in big games like that. We did it this season with Liverpool away. We did it away at City before, and we even got that 0-0. So we can do it again.
