Harsh on Southampton, they've been the better team, yet we're 3-1 up and John Moss screwed us outta a peno. Weird game as we've been dogshit and the game should be over.

That bearded cnut again
Already in a better mood.
I was thinking this
But I reckon we would have missed out due to teams not taking chances v city which would have been more frustrating I guess
They don't have to be that good, the challengers have been inconsistent as f.
Absolute rubbish, he took his foot away from him, as clear as a penalty as you'll ever see and whoever is controlling VAR today screwed up again, it's a bloody joke
Funny thing is that the subtle push on De Bruyne inside the penalty area was probably as much of a penalty as Southampton's, and that's before the Foden debacle happened.
4-1.
4-2!
Mahrez is in good form.
what is going onWe should have got him and and Kante when we could have.
This is crazy 5-2
It's so odd seeing City concede
Hell of a game
Mad game this. Hasenhuttl will be having flash backs of conceding 9.
McCarthy is shite
So many chances! Foden had 2 or 3 as well plus that was a clear pen on him.
Why did Klopp 2.0 drop Forster? A bit harsh but McCarthy takes hours to dive down.
Yes. About 10 times. At least.
That’s as much a stonewall penalty as you’ll ever see. Absolutely shocking officiating, yet again.
The refereeing in this country is a farce. The standard is so horrendously low. They can’t even get it right with the added luxury of video replays and slow-mo. Pathetic.
The worst thing is that they get away with it and never seem to face any repercussions for terrible decision making. You can’t put it down to human error like those made on the pitch in real-time. They literally have the benefit of hindsight here. It’s not even a mistake, it is plain wrong and there should be severe consequences.
Why is it PL referees can’t use VAR correctly? I don’t see any of these same issues with VAR in other top European leagues or in UCL/EL.
I despair. It’s ruining the game over here.
It's great and gives me hope they will do the same In the champions LeagueIt's so odd seeing City concede
This game highlights how well as a team United defended last Sunday.
Can someone remind what was the original date for the City v Southampton game?

Mendy is on 5-5 incoming.
Solid win for Celtic. City, I mean city
I really hope you're not comparing our first XI with So'tons...
In answer to your question - whenever City started their long run of wins I think. They had the two week break and then were immense - or so other managers will tell you!
I like that they are conceding goals at last.
Don't know why you bother. They are playing in second gear because the league has been pretty much decided.
I don't like their defensive record. Makes me nervous.
Shame that Southampton decided to switch off 5 minutes before half time and kill any hopes of a potentially interesting second half and City have annoyingly bounce straight back from Sunday
Highlighting if you defend poorly against this City side you will likely concede glut goals be it Southampton or any other team.
To answer my own question a fixture brought forward from the end of April to accommodate City’s League Cup final.
Need to make up 5 points on them in the next six games whilst not dropping any ourselves either
We’ve shut them out in both league fixtures this season. How often does any team do that to them?
Since the Everton game we've kept 6 / 8 clean sheets, I imagine the defence got an absolute bollocking for that one.
United didn't defend particularly well against city though? Or rather, didn't really shut them down. City just missed their chances. Outplayed them and deserved to win, but it was a fairly open game with plenty of chances both ways...
Only 4 times City didn't score in all competitions this season. Twice against United and once against Spurs, Porto.
Well there you go.
Apparently Fred has never played in a game where City scored a goal. Either at United or at Shaktar.
EDIT: A fact I heard on a podcast, and haven’t checked!
Agreed. The shot that rattled the bar, tons of little plays that usually end up in the net, it was United’s lucky day. The scoreline says 0-0 and that’s all that matters, but yeah... the only thing separating a zero from 2-3 is lady luck. Also, a team has off-days, it’s not like the opposition is the only variable in a football game. Saying that, shutting out City twice is impressive regardless - it’s not like they’re not motivated against United.
It’s not true. He played when we won 2-1 in the league and when we lost 3-1 in the League Cup. And when they beat us this season.
Balls. Sounded too good to be true!
