The reaction to the decision to question why a referee who makes money from the UAE is allowed to referee City games is exactly why the PGMOL get away with this BS every week. People had the same reaction when issues were raised about Coote, and look at how that turned out.

City's three goals came from chances collectively valued at 0.11 xG. Gakpo's chance was 0.15.

Ibiza beckons for Arne Slot.

May as well go home now with this luck.

Played the best team on paper off the fucking park you know, I knew I didn’t question these for a reason.

Massive, massive result.

God I hate this. Never, ever wanted to play against him - I always hoped that if he left he'd just be out of sight forever.

Thank fuck for that.

Referee defended well throughout there. Closing lanes. Bit of pressing. Always aware of what's over his left shoulder while on the half turn.

Courtois the reason it’s not 2-0, hate that man and how good he is

Should book him for that. Just a pathetic person and player.

Absolutely bonkers decision. Gives the foul, all he can do is see if it's inside or outside the box, and somehow he reverse the decision?

That's basically what happened to us at Brentford. Not a fan of that being a handball, especially not inside the box.

I hate Thibaut Courtois so, so much.

Rarely ever been this nervous. Good lord I hate this.

That’s a red imo.

That’s wild for a yellow when a touching of the forehead is automatically a red lmao

He put his hand on Macca’s throat and then headlocked him to the ground, and somehow only got a yellow. Absolutely pathetic. Dirty player, that Onana. Just a big thug.

McGinn is a massive cunt by the way. Could easily have been booked twice in the half, and gets away with absolute murder every week.

What a game of cricket that was. Jemima Rodrigues, what a star. One of the best games of 50 over cricket I've seen. Outstanding stuff.

That's one of the best chases you'll ever seen. So, so delighted for that Indian side.

I agree with the manager's selection generally and would also say that the amount of need to win on Saturday hasn't changed. Wouldn't have changed with a 5-0 home win.

I’ve not got an issue with the line up or result tonight, but if this level of rotation doesn’t bring a much better performance and hopefully result against Villa, that’s a massive problem. Thrown away a cup run here to prepare for the league game, and now they’ve absolutely got to win that.

Whatever ice Slot is on, this match is utterly irrelevant to its, er, thickness.

Hopefully that wakes Salah up. Great finish.

First time I’ve thought this, but he might go, you know. This does not look fixable without some really drastic, brutal changes, and I don’t think he has it in him. We’re just in total and utter free fall. It’s painful to see.

Just no point in playing Mo right now. He can’t do anything at the moment, and that doesn’t look like changing any time soon. He’s not to blame for the entirety of this, but he’s just fully a liability right now.

And now Curtis injured. Finding new ways of making this worse and worse.

Palace, Villa, Real Madrid and then City. Every chance we don’t see this side win a game of football until November 22nd, and even then it’s Dyche’s Forest and PSV. West Ham on the 29th of next month are the first team on that list we’d have any chance of beating right now.

There is no one I don't hate right now

A full-blown crisis it is, then.

Kelleher, Carvalho and Henderson celebrating going 3-1 up against us. This one is possibly the worst one yet.

But somehow the foul on Gakpo wasn’t a penalty. Got it.

What?

So, so bad. Mo maybe the worst of all of them, but they’re all just awful.

Liverpool had enjoyed one comfortable win at Brentford in four attempts. It was never going to be easy tonight. But to look so unprepared for their threat, to be so open to counters, is sickening. Enough of these players have played this sort of game before even if there are a few new lads.

Made up for Kerkez there. I think that should be the side where our full back pushes forward, not on the right. Would allow him to overlap Cody consistently, would leave Virgil to cover more space instead of Ibou, and would Mo drift in more.

MILOS

Eintracht Frankfurt must really, really suck.

The data doesn’t tell you what your eyes can. Liverpool as vulnerable and brittle as they have been all season.

So it’s going to be four losses in a row in the league. Horrendous stuff.

We look woefully incapable of dealing with any physical opposition. Can’t win headers, can’t win second balls. Doesn’t help that in the odd chance that we do, we can’t get going because we can’t pass and we get muscled off the ball easily.

Really should be scoring that. Inches away, but he’s so close to goal with no one remotely close to him.

Liverpool made it far as the second shot before conceding. Progress.

Just pathetic. You know the threat they pose, and you give them the opportunity and then defend like that. Garbage.

In the audience tonight is Charlotte Bennett, one of the 13 women that Andrew Cuomo is credibly alleged to have sexually harassed while they worked in his government. She can't speak for herself because Cuomo's lawyers have hounded her. So I confronted him.
