Er, think you need to hold your hands up Phil and do the decent thing.

You've well and truly quoted the wrong statement 👍

😂😂 to be honest - I don’t care really, in the grand scheme of things it’s completely irrelevant
 
Another solid performance from us after a tough midweek CL game.

Fabinho was excellent, by far his best performance to date.

Just seen a replay of Becker's mistake, i thought it was just unlucky.

Yernited 🤭🤭🤭

And credit where its due, the ref had an excellent game.

Yes it was a good win for you, Liverpool dominated the game and made United look what they are at present a average mid table side, think your being a bit kind to your keeper( if that's who you are speaking about never heard him called that) he simply dropped the ball from a not to difficult a cross.

Becker is his surname. But like a lot of South Americans, doesn’t generally go by it....

Watching it again as he caught the ball then hit his knee spilling it out so maybe that’s what Stu means - but it’s a mistake and all the top keepers make them , but it’s not affected the result and he didn’t hide.

Keeper should have held it but after his save midweek it shows the fine margins. At least it didn't cost any points.

No you got that wrong he didn't actually catch the ball before it hit his knee.

Maybe so, it came off his knee so if that ball drops an inch further forward he smothers the ball and they don’t score.

He’s a top class keeper whose made 2 errors in 16 games, no big deal for me.

Think it’s more worrying that England’s number 1 keeper is making errors more often !

Yea I agree he's a top class keeper, even the best make mistakes, no doubt he's made your team better.

Massively. Played 16 league games and conceded 7 to date.

This time last year we’d conceded about 30!!

20 odd iirc. Virg has improved us too. We don’t need to score 3 goals every week to guarantee a win.

It would be nice though , I would have some finger nails left after CL game.

Only just watched it, been golfing .
We played very well ,if our final ball starts clicking we would have scored more.
Can’t belive how much room they let Robertson have.

All keepers make mistakes ,looked like he never had it in his hands.
But he will save us more than he costs us , he is a very quick learner.

Impressed with Fabiano today and Shaquiri.
I always remember Frank Lampard saying “ if you don’t shoot you can’t get a deflection”

Why would you play Fellani when your bench has good players on it.
According to Maureen we scored when they were playing strong, don’t remember that bit.

I agree and certainly am not suggesting that Man City should be treated any differently to other teams or that they aren't guilty at times of a sly one or even something less subtle.

My point is that , in that respect, they are the same as everyone else .

Titles and Cups are never won by teams of angels.

As for Deeney I, at first as the father of an ex-keeper, thought it was a bad one but watching it again I cam see that the pitch conditions affected both him and the keeper. Both slid possibly further than they expected on that surface.

I certainly wouldn't want to think that it was deliberate on Deeney's part

I think refs should be wise to a team who use it as a team tactic, everyone else knows it.

The Deeney one was at least a yellow, no matter. Yes it was wet, but he went to ground very early, at an angle that was only going to get the keeper, as well. One thing it wasnt, was no card at all.
