We have no creativity in midfield .
Lots of times there was a ball on and they just played safe sideways or backward.
It’s like their scared of giving the ball away trying something !
Really poor to watch.
Slots subs made it worse.

Well played to Leeds they looked more like scoring than we did.👍
Excellent in defence .



What are refs doing now so many blatant pushes in the back just waived on for both teams.
Has the rule changed?
This is how City have become predictable against the “Lesser” teams and I don’t mean that in a disrespectful way at all. Teams like Bournemouth, Leeds, etc etc have become excellent at setting up defensively against City, Liverpool, Arsenal. And you cannot blame them. The way to beat them is to set up a solid defence and hit them on the break like Forest did v City with an excellent goal.
I was having a matter with a Forest pal who am on me hols with. She was gutted Forest got turned over by Everton having put in a good display v City. But it’s a totally different game. If Forest set up to defend against Everton the way they did v City. Dyche will get crucified.
Got to love the Premier league for the twists and turns. 👍

Not another holiday Tash? You must have more airmiles than Judith Chalmers :p
 
Equally, they've just said Everton should have had a penalty against arsenal so I take your point. However, I still think the foul was outside the area only. I haven't seen any clip that suggests otherwise.

Leeds player makes no attempt to play the ball , still has his arms around him in the box

If the player goes down they give it

That’s a clear penalty imo
 
Nope, still not. He makes no attempt to play the ball outside but once inside it becomes a tussle with Ekitike that is a 50-50, both at it.

No point going back and forth anymore. You think it's a penalty, I don't 🤷.

It's still not the reason Liverpool didn't win. As @clubchamp98 points out, they lacked creativity.

Stop bleating. It’s not a penalty because the ref didn’t give it, end of story. Bleat on as much as you like it won’t change no matter how many copies of social media posts you post. You were only the 2nd team this season not to score against them. Even Burnley got 2. Even my kids don’t go on as much as you when things may go against their respective team

Every Liverpool game must have a major talking point,even if there really isn’t one 🤷‍♂️
 
How often does one have to go on and on and on and on about trying to find as many ways to argue they think Liverpool should have had a penalty?

It is almost as monotonous as Liverpool's performance. Liverpool probably got one more point than they deserved, they should be delighted, and quietly move on to next game
“But why are you all talking about Liverpool”? 🤔😆
 
One for city fans. Savinnho has always looked a bit disappointing to me. Tonight he's being an old fashioned winger, down the line, whip a cross in. Loving it 😍. No cutting back, no obsessive possession stuff. Has he been doing this recently or is this a new him?

He needs to find the balance , we have looked to stronger in the middle to help solidify the midfield but lost pace and intensity

Think would have preferred to have seen Wirtz or Macca in the ten as opposed to Dom

Another one to add to the vacuum
