I think it is quite consistent : the VAR folks didn’t see enough to overturn the on field referee’s decision. Looks like arm+arm pit.

Villa are club in a big a city. Jack had that throwback maverick appeal.
The refereeing in the premier league is absolutely embarrassing. I swear the level is often higher in the 2nd best danish division when I watch my local team
That's the point to be fair. If they don't deem it as conclusive they just go with the on field decision from the ref.
Some are still doing mental gymnastics to defend that, its not a penalty, City been gifted that.
It was the armpit but fecking Moutinho going with his arms all the way up, as stupid as it gets.
I just don't get how the FA could fine Wolves for now talking about this.
This needs to be brought up - you can't have VAR and make such an obviously biased choice.

Media created a massive hype train about him when they wanted to get him in to the England team that people bought into, then he got in the team and everyone realised that he was nothing close to what he'd been built up to be
But it wasn’t. We have seen it almost consistently that when the ball hits the adducted arm, the decision is a penalty.

Grealish
Let’s see if Klopp goes after city like he did against us.
I always thought if it hit body and bounced onto arm they were told not to give it.
Grealish ... been taking finishing classes with Jesus
... been taking finishing classes with JesusMane and Salah away for a month. Could be interesting.
That’s a bad miss
I’m surprised to see so many saying it’s not a pen, he has his arm in an unnatural position, then brings it down when the ball comes toward him. He needs to keep his arms down and step his body up to the ball in that position I thought.
Great clearance by Grealish.
I haven't actually seen the penalty incident but I can state with absolute certainty that that is never a penalty.
100 million
There has to be a clear and obvious error, I don't think it was a penalty. But if a VAR official watches it over a dozen times and still isn't 100% certain, then how can he overturn an on field decision.
If Moss hadn't given it, I don't see VAR telling him to give it.
Grealish has the benefit of, not only being English and a clear fan/media favourite, of not exactly being a great, or renowned, assists player or goalscorer.
He just needed to be 'fancy' with his dribbling or produce the occasional silky skill.
So the expectations on him were kinda middle ground ,in that regard, even before he joined City.
Christ, all we got throughout the Euro's was how great he was at falling over and winning freekicks.

At least City fans will be upset today. They’re only happy when they can pretend there’s an agenda against them.
Grealish has been really poor, for the last few weeks too.
Grealish is absolute dross. I was way wrong about this signing as I thought he’d go up a level and Pep would cut out his theatrics and encourage him to stay on his feet and run at defences. He’s got even worse. He hits the deck every single time he gets touched regardless of force. He seems content winning free kicks all day as opposed to wanting to proceed onto the next man after beating someone. It’s so bizarre.
Are these the most delusional feckers when it comes to football? Even RAWK-ites are not that far gone.
I'm astonished that anyone thinks it is a penalty.
This might seem like an excuse but honestly he just doesn't seem like a City possesion player, I think some people were questioning this before.Grealish has the benefit of, not only being English and a clear fan/media favourite, of not exactly being a great, or renowned, assists player or goalscorer.

It's a bit like Zlatan Ibrahimovic at Barcelona, just didn't fit the tactics and flow of the team.
Pep is such a creep. What was he doing to Grealish there?
Glad its not just me that thinks this.
Should've followed your heart Jacky boy, and waited for the Rangnick revolution.
Why though? It’s not news that you can’t defend a cross with your arms in the air, then when it hits that body part it tends to be given. I can’t understand why he had his arms like that
What the frigg. Wow. Oh, I'm 7 mins behind.
Because the position of his arm is irrelevant when the ball didn't hit his arm.
What does that even mean.
I agree. Moutinho was stupid tbh. The players should know better in these situations
When Klopp moaned about us getting pens and then we barely got a pen since.
I think Grealish takes too many unnecessary touches (on the ball).
That's the difference between him and players such as Neymar, Messi and Silva before him.
Ait-Nouri is a decent player. Rodri should be booked a 2nd time there
No one mentioning how poor Grealish has been these last few weeks? Wouldn't hear the end of it from the British media if £100 million was spent on a foreign player
