And the fact he cost us something like £26 million (net) doesn't seem to come into it with them.

Bournemouth 1-3 Man City

A bit more on that VAR decision not to award Manchester City a penalty after he appeared to be brought down by Jefferson Lerma a little earlier in the half.

The appeal was considered not to be a penalty by the on-field referee. As a matter of course, the VAR checked it. We understand that, because this was a subjective decision, the VAR deemed that there was not enough evidence to overturn the original call and so stuck with the on-field decision."



"Subjective?" They've sure got it figured out. Fans will warm to VAR now we've had this explained.

Stepping on someone's foot is not subjective

Exactly!

According to Opta...his double takes his tally for Manchester City to 235, and a grand total of 400 goals for club and country. “It’s pretty stunning how well Agüero has worked with a series of different managers. Most of the players you would think of as ‘best ever’ really only played with one or two managers, certainly the forwards,” argues Joe Harvey, via email. “Agüero hasn’t perfectly adapted to what Pep wants, but Agüero has to be the first player on a very short list whom Pep has had to compromise his ideals to play, no?”

No watering on the pitch meant the ball ran badly and disrupted the way we play. Long balls they played didnt run on as they should . But too many of our players were off their game. Kevin most notably for me but Walker was also having one of those silly games where he was too likely to give a goal away.

If we dont score 3 fuckign goals a game we will struggle.
