This is where keepers get too much protection in my eyes.... Yes he had it in 2 hands, but he just as much fell onto the Brighton player as the Brighton player did make an attempt to win the ball. Think he was a tad fortunate there.

think its handball not a foul Trossard knocks it out with his elbow, not that VAR would know its ...... from its elbow
no chance they give that as a goal after disallowing the Schmeical one earlier in the season
sounds like Arsenal have got away with it, tomorrows derby being postponed
Why wouldn't they try though. A precedent has been set and bending the rules has worked...of course every other club is entitled to do the same.
I get that, doesnt mean I have to agree with it, as far as been released we have 1 covid case!
The Premier League is becoming a joke, teams can manipulate things now to have games postponed if it suits them. As far as I'm aware, no other top league allows it. Surely PL teams can get players in from their reserve/youth teams, like they do in the league cup?sounds like Arsenal have got away with it, tomorrows derby being postponed

It seems it’s also down to registered players etc - the club have youth players that could play in EFL cup for example but not in the Prem
Don’t understand why the players went out on loan though if the squad is that small ?

Tashy, No Team is taking the “mick” they are using the rules the idiots at the PL have allowed.I think City were one of the first teams last season to cancel a game due to COVID. The noise from fans screaming ( particularly teams that were going for the title) to deduct points from City was deafening. The hypocrisy this season where clubs are now quite frankly taking the mick, yet the same fans all of a sudden have nothing to say.
Basically, if Covid didn't exist (and therefore teams couldn't ask.for games to.be suspended), Arsenal would be thread bare. But, on a technicality they have a get out of jail free card and have game postponed? It is a joke. All clubs pulling a fast one have made it a joke.Partly mismanagement, partly because we have no football apart from the league left after next week. Clear AMN was never getting a crack under Arteta and they were always going to loan Balogun out as he wont get much first team football, as i posted the other day; 4 in africa, 5 or 6 injured, 1 clown suspended, 2 loaned out, theyve only actually declared Oedegaard as having Covid it seems
Wonder if we want the 2nd leg postponed in the week lol

Look at the FA Cup, FA said no postponements use any player from any level to get the game played.
The PL have said No to this and therefore only the 25 Squad players count towards the 13 outfield and 1 goalkeeper.
Why oh why in a competition worth millions of pounds would any Club purposely play a weakened team when they don’t have to, yes it may stink etc, but all teams having games cancelled have to provide evidence to the PL.
Amanda, ain’t that the truth. Looking forward to when City play next in a big game so we can comment about it on here ??Take it as a compliment - I do. I love how we've become the team to hate and dig dirt on...means we're doing something right on the pitch. "Jealousy is the tribute mediocrity pays to genius".
What about LPool? Who cares about Burnley? Last season your game with us was cancelled with 3hrs notice with 4 cases of Covid, I remember you and others laughing when it was suggested Everton should of been awarded the points (I didn’t agree with that by the way) with it being such short notice.What about Liverpool. Klopp says X number of false positives. As Colchester said. You have a positive LFT, within an hour all players could and should of had a PCR and the results would of been back. Everyone has been busting a gut to get back to playing football and now we have this debacle. Tuchel mentioned how lucky City have been but when Pep was absent last week City had 21 out with COVID inc 7 players.. Teams like Burnley at the back end of the season are going to be in a right old mess.
