Big West Midlands derby for Villa today, and just another Sunday for Wolves.

I don’t think he’s a diver ! He should have got a pen your right.
But he went down far to easy when he had beaten his man.
Last week he looked like he had no studs in his boots.
Most players that do this become great players by just staying on their feet.

Great 3 points for the reds, man city are a decent side but weren't clinical. Onwards we go.

Yes it did .
So not a pen.
Off anything else it’s a penalty but Bernado knocked it on with his hand.

Is that Bernado or TAA.????

You have gone back on your word that you would not mention this again.
That’s very disappointing.
I know there’s only 3 points between 5th & 15th, but after enjoying watching Wolves play last season, and I really rate their manager, it’s good to see them higher up the league table after a poor start, I think they’ll push on now and be in that leading group just behind the top 4.
I can’t see anyone else pushing themselves into the top 4, I think the gap will get bigger between 4th & 5th, and I don’t think the top 4 will stay in its current standings.
I do however think the bottoms 3 is already settled, there may not be much difference in the win, loss stats to some clubs just above them, but the amount of goals conceded by those 3 is substantial and I think all 3 of them are doomed already.

We've already played 24 matches this season so I expected us to be a little off the pace but I've been surprised how well we've done in the last few weeks.
Today was the most one sided 2-1 you'll ever see. 4-0 wouldn't have flattered us.

Did you see it hit the city players hand at waist height?That should have been handball, as it would have gone past him and he would not have deflected it onto TAA.
Have you watched it again?

You must have been too busy prepping your rant on here mate, they showed the VAR offside line check thing for the Salah goal

It’s possible the one yesterday was wrong!!
They drew the line through the defenders ear and his head was goalside of the line.
Just behind the top 4 but ahead of Arsenal??
I don’t think Arsenal will finish in the top 6, we’ve seen everything they’ve got, and it’s not a lot, whereas other teams are finding their feet and are getting better, I can see them getting more and more frustrated and losing more ground.

It’s certainly a head scratcher of a decision and made more complicated by the fact Liverpool scored within that passage of play.
So if you play it backwards from the next stoppage, it’s feasible to say TAA handball contributed to a goal, therefore that goal needs to be brought back to the handball, the handball was in the box, therefore it’s a penalty to man city, however the ball was played onto a Liverpool player via a hand therefore it’s a free kick to Liverpool in there own box.... i for one would have LOVED to have seen that given. Imagine Klopps head exploding!!
In all seriousness, it was just an unlucky passage of play for city and as I said earlier they should have done much better to avoid the goal. They had ample opportunity.
I thought Klopp got his tactics spot on , especially in the first 30 min, played the midfield a bit deeper and bypassed Rodri and Gundogan. Gave them no opportunity to build a foothold in the game. They also stopped City from getting to the byline for the cut back well, aguero looked isolated and KDB was non existant in the first half. Good performance for Liverpool and the title is there’s to lose now!

i didn’t see it, mind you I was buffering on & off at the time, was it shown at the time or as an afterthought?
Wolves ahead, yes. Burnley are starting to find their rhythm again. And Bournemouth are looking decent. I can't see Utd getting above them though. 8th or 9th for Arsenal.

I didn’t see it until much later, but I was multi tasking with cooking so may have missed it at the time.
I agree, I was being nice ðŸ˜

That’s the interesting point about it all
For me it’s that whole grey area - it’s accidental so shouldn’t be a penalty but I don’t know about all this silhouette stuff 😩
Think it would have been harsh if it was a penalty but if the ref had given it then I don’t think it would have been overturned
But if the initial handball was Silva then hits TAA and we go and score how far back do they go in regards the build up ?
Thought overall we deserved the three points - really solid performance with still a lot more to come. It maybe 9 point gap but we are coming up to a very busy period that’s going to stretch the squad
Listened to 5live a minute a go and the City fans calling in made me giggle a bit - seems everyone is against them and we have an unfair advantage 😂
I’ve seen images on Twitter, but the line doesn’t look straight in comparison to the 18yd box! It certainly wasn’t scrutinised as much as Sheffield’s ‘big toe’ decision, which was a travesty imo!
