Match Day Man City v Liverpool, Saturday 9th September 12:30

[Stevencc]

Let's be honest, no team giving regular minutes to Klavan is ever gonna win the league.

I'd trust him to do the minutes of the annual shareholders meeting at a push.

 

[Stevencc]

As an aside - I was once chasing a bouncing ball down a hill in a car and smashed straight into an innocent bystander, killing them stone dead. I had my eye on the ball, though, and Gary Neville said that I didn't mean it. Phew.

 

[GodsGift]

it doesn't matter if Mane "only had eyes for the ball", the law of serious foul play is black and white. The ref had no choice.

 

[Laker]

Even Mr Liverpool, Jamie Carragher, thinks it's a red.

 

[G-Dragon]

I used wild card, got rid of Jesus + KDB got Mane Salah Firmino ohhmyydayzzzzzzz

Do you think it was a red card, mate?

 

[Mr Bauer]

I'm going to enjoy watching Liverpool get dismantled here, but the problem is it's Man City doing the dismantling.

Oh hold on the Ox is on. He's a great player he is...

 

[G-Dragon]

Do you think it was a red card, mate?

Not a red imo. Yellow for sure for a "dangerous" play but keeper did come charging at Mane too. Would have been a yellow if it wasn't for city players surrounding the refs.

 

[Dave]

Never a red. The ref has ruined the game.

 

[Mr Bauer]

Whoops...

 

[Mr Bauer]

Jurgen has Kopped it today...

 

[Bilo]

CAN WE PLEASE STOP ATTACKING

 

[Humongous Fungus]

Aguero is just the man, no other striker would've passed that. Can you imagine Harry Kane passing it there? Not a chance.

 

[Stevencc]

A nice chorus of boos for Milner there.

 

[Bilo]

Why exactly are City fans booing Milner?

 

[Mr. Scruff]

Why exactly are City fans booing Milner?

Have you ever met a city fan? Probably not given there are about 10 outside of Stockport but they are bitter down to their very essence. Not surprising at all they would boo a good servant to the club.

 

[Super_horns]

No-one seems to agree on that red card!

Right by the laws of the game but some will say Mane was only going for the ball etc.

 

[Bilo]

4-0, probably game over imo.

 

[Mr. Scruff]

CIty's attacking options really are unbelievable.

 

[Stevencc]

CIty's attacking options really are unbelievable.

I was chatting with a City fan the other day who reclassified Silva, Silva and De Bruyne as orthodox central midfielders in order to claim they had a lack of attacking options and were in desperate need of Sanchez.

 

[Storzy]

Did Neville just compare Can tripping someone to Mane booting someone in the head?

What a total c***

 

[NorthernSoul]

That's a clear a red as you'll see. Karate kicking someone in the head studs first is shocking, Mane knew the keeper was coming out and should not have gone in with a foot raised. Just hope the keeper hasn't fractured his skull, looks like he's got him on the cheek, which is very lucky for Ederson.

 

[snortingfrogs]

Not a red at all, horrible decision by the ref.

 

[Stevencc]

So that's Pagnell, G-Dragon and now SnortingFrogs.

SALTIRE ?

 

[HtfcWArrior]

Not a red at all, horrible decision by the ref.

 

[SALTIRE]

Yeah could we just start that one again! Bloody hell.

 

[Bilo]

Shit happens, we played well up until the red which completely killed us. It's just one game and I still feel confident for the rest of the season.

 

[NorthernSoul]

It was a high foot but his eyes were 100% on the ball in a 50/50. He had every right to go for it. This game is now bullshit.

He has no right whatsoever to go into a challenge with a foot raised when it was clear the opponent was going for the same ball. If Mane jumps head first into the challenge then it's different story a cowards challenge and very dangerous.

 

[Pagnell]

As expected after the red. Klopp didn't help things with our balls out attacking when 3-0 down and with 10 men on the pitch. We were always going to lose after Mane went off, but it would have been nice to at least attempt to keep our goal difference respectable.

Still, City and Arsenal out the way with 3 points and a -1 GD could have been worse. Yes, I'm scraping the barrel for positives.

 

[JimJams]

I should probably have warned Liverpool fans that I just put Mane in my dreamteam.
