If you cnuts were actually punished for that, you would see a red card a game for at least one of your players.

What’s with all the complaining? The tactical fouls are magnificent! I just have to admire it.
Why is Dean not booking the City players ?
60m diop 
the guy is brainless
the guy is brainlessWas hoping for a shock in the first game, looks like City are winning this. Come on Aston Villa you're up next 
Diop.. awful.
I hope he is.
Diop's price went from 60m to 59.9m.
They are clever about it, but they are fouls and eventually worth a booking.
We should start doing them too if they go unpunished. Clever play nowadays
@duffer Hey look, Haller also has his thumbs up, so similar to Lukaku
Jesus should have buried that.
Always a mistery
Yup. Besides, we need City to pip liverpool to the title this year too. So why the whining?
Spot on.
Yep, brilliant how we get away with it game after game, saves us a good 5 or so goals a season
What's magnificent about it?
Wish we would do it as well. Feck what anyone thinks.
Stops the opposition from getting dangerous breaks. Duh. The higher up the pitch you foul the lesser the chance of a booking.
They can afford to take time on the ball when they know that if they lose the ball, they can foul with impunity and no punishment for it.
It diopped.
Would only have popped back out 2 days later.
I must have a different video feed from you as he is making this DM position look easy. Struggiling physically? Was that when he took the forearm to the face?The amount of times we're going to hear people say that this season just because it's what they expect a Pep signing to do without them actually doing it
Been very average so far and shown on a few occasions he's not quite used to the pace or physicality of the league, which is to be expected in his first game.
Casually strolling about getting on the ball making himself available and keeping things ticking over.
From behind a wall?
Too early for that, would be nice to see to City wobble early into the season and see them lose.
No, it’s not and no it wouldn’t. Every point counts.
City with 8 fouls to WHU 1, good to see them picking up where they left off with constant tactical fouling.
Jorginho was one of our best players towards the end of the season and was fantastic in the EL final against Arsenal. He struggled with the physicality of the league but grew into it.
Would've had quite a few assists as well if our strikers weren't complete and utter shite.
Magnificent.
But, was rightly punished.
I think his sharpness and awareness aren't quite there yet, they're the only things that stand out for me. He's getting pressed a lot from behind when receiving the ball and the awareness showed in those instances, looks a very tidy player mind.
It's a disguised form of cheating, there's nothing magnificent about it.
it is difficult, as much id love to laugh at city getting tonked (if and when), knowing that them dropping points aids the scousers is like having fingernails down a chalkboard irritating.
Rodri looks another top quality signing by Pep. How much was he? Why can't we get these sorts of player for our midfield?
watching the second Mahrez chance. I can understand Cresswel throwing himself on the ground but why did Diop do that too ?It's absolutely pathetic how the officials turn a blind eye to it. Jesus and Rodri should've had bookings at a minimum.
City not playing that well, Sterling been awful, Bernardo on soon in second half. Still winning though and west ham not creating much.
Thought Dean was poor, whistle going against City endlessly. Also Sterling was onside when linesman flagged? Why not waiting for VAR after play finished??

Pellegrini earns a lot of money,
unjustified for sure
unjustified for sure
For what it's worth, I'm hoping this year's Liverpool won't be as good as last seasons with their injuries and defensive weaknesses. So we won't have to support City as much as we did last year.
