What a bunch of shameless tw*ts, it's obvious City got completely screwed over in that game with some of the worst officiating I have seen. Unbelievable.

I'd be fuming if I was Pep too to be fair. With how important the first goal was always going to be, the ref/VAR have totally done them.
An 8 point lead is a big lead, but there are still loads of games to go and anything can happens with injuries, loss of form, surprise results, and so on. We'll have to see how City recover from this mentally and whether any other teams like Leicester can keep up the pace at the top. No doubt that Liverpool are in the driving seat and will be loving their position.
Theres really no joy at the thought of Liverpool winning the Premier League in what is our worst period in my lifetime.
and dont forget they are the current European Champions!!!

It's not like Mane doesn't go looking for it.
I can just imagine him singing along to that before the game started.
City had a zillion chances, gave up two bad goals through a shite goalkeeper, and possibly the other Liverpool goal was offside.
Apparently by the letter of the law the first goal was fine. Sterling's penalty in the second half is never given, not unless you are a minnow playing one of the top sides chasing important points. The other handball appeal was ludicrous.
Nevermind Pep, you can spend another billion in January and maybe you'll turn this around you genius.
Despite Neville almost having an orgasm in the commentary box, I didn't think Liverpool were that great today. Defensively poor again, and lady luck got them over the line. Have to think the title is in the bag now for them, but you never know. They could choke again, they built up a healthy lead last season and melted away - only recovering once City had the title back in their hands. A lot of games to go and December is going to be very tough on them in terms of fixtures. Let's see.

There are two things that VAR could have done better. Sterlings penalty. 50/50 for me. But actually Fabinho should have a clear freekick before Citys goal. All in all the ref/VAR did okay
3 penalties not given? You guys are serious?
Any gifs for these?

City's next four games are Chelsea, United, Arsenal and Leicester City. Could be a tricky time for them.
2, the second handball wasn't a pen.
Bloody hell. It’s like someone died watching the post commentary panel. Kompany fittingly wearing all black.
Using VAR and still don't see 3 penalties you got to wonder what it takes to be Premier League officials. Not that they are doing good job somewhere else but they were really awful today. If Premier League brought people from some local Brazillian tribe from Amazonas they would do better job. If they can't see that at least two are them are penalties then you got to be asked some questions. Are they just that incompetent or is it something else? What are criteria becoming PL referee?
ManCity are better team than Liverpool but Liverpool are so deadly upfront that it is hard to see how any team can defend and get clean sheets. If Liverpool don't get any injuries on their attacking trio or get in some slump in december I don't see anybody getting near them. With luck, with talent and with some help from the people above they are going to be hard to catch.

Yup cocky little wanker. It would be worth a huge fine and ban to smack him for it.
Those are the ones on Sky, they have other fixtures in between.
Pep is so "Proud" of his team.
Always says same shite when he lose

Somebody needs to make a video of him and Klopp on the pitch at the end, with some Rocky ending music.Pep at the end

That’s how you act when things don’t go your way.
It was a controversial game, but the ‘lucky’ and ‘thief’ claims are beyond ridiculous at this point.

Kompany is such a whiner.

In this case he is right. Tremendous character, the team keeps going and with a little bit of luck they could have snatched a draw. Utd can learn a lot from the professionalism at both Pool and City. There's a fire in those teams that I've rarely seen.

Well then it should have been a free kick to Liverpool.
Also, it only says attacking handball is penalised if it results in a goal... There is no mention of penalties, so Madley is just inventing a rule there
So play should have stopped either way..
Interesting...
He’s suggesting the penalty would have been ruled out.
Possibly. 2-1 instead of 3-1.
Well unless he is seeing a law that I've not seen/heard of then I don't see how that's the case.
Whatever way you look at it though, the goal shouldn't stand because of the handball(s)
The referee is allowed to play an advantage, so not necessarily a free kick to Liverpool.
Ok. 2-1 Liverpool.
Advantage has to stop if Liverpool commit an offence though.
If someone from team A gets kicked and the ref plays advantage, another player in Team A can't just go commit a foul free of charge.
Ah right, I just thought maybe the fact it's a handball that leads to a handball is why they didn't give a penalty. It's a bit of an odd situation really.
