Good win that, excellent goal from Bernard and a tidy start to the season. Nice to see Kean get a few minutes and look lively as well.

Should have been more than 1 - Richarlison should have had at least 1, had 2 golden opportunities with free headers!
I havnt seen much of Richarlison but when I have seen him he does miss lots of chances.
Must be hard for the team seeing chances going begging like that.
How would you rate him?

Yeah pretty much, he's pretty wasteful, which is why he was never seen as our solution at CF. He's got so much potential, and is only 22, but needs to kick on and start burying the chances he gets. His movement is excellent so he picks up some great positions but some days he couldn't hit a barn door. Excited for our front 4 though if we can get them firing - Bernard, Gylfi, Richarlison and Kean is super exciting.

VAR made the right decision under the rules didnt it? Whether the rule is right is a totally different argument mind

If Pep wants to blame anyone it should be his wasteful players, how many chances do they actually need to win a game? Or maybe ask his keeper where he was for the first goal. Or his defense that got outjumped by Lucas Moura lol

Geez Im siding with Spurs, time for a lay down

VAR did make the right call on that one but it missed the clear penalty City should have had in the first half - the same inconsistent referees now just using technology to give poor decisions. It has made some good decisions but it’s still not far from foolproof- and as I always thought it’s ruining the whole enjoyment of the game

Has his arm not got to move into a un-natural position?

I think the problem is that the handball law is inconsistent. If the ball hits a defender's arm and it's not in an unnatural position or making his silhouette bigger then it's not a penalty. If the ball hits an attacker's arm then the goal is ruled out regardless of the position of his arm or whether it was intentional or accidental. That doesn't seem right to me.

That's not a comment on the incident today as I haven't seen it but a general comment.
