****Official City vs Criminal Dopers

I sometimes think we play better against certain teams without Kev

We're sometimes guilty of over relying on him, others don't step up, waiting for him to produce the goods.

Yeah exactly. I think Bern in particular seems to be better without him. 18/19 was Bernardo’s best season and we played most of it without Kev.
Not sure why that would be, but it’s an observation.

Bernie has rediscovered his best form these last few months. No question. Is it a coincidence that with KDB not in the side he perhaps has a more free reign?

Whatever the reason for this upturn in his form, I’m well chuffed for him as he epitomises everything that is great about our squad and ethos, and long may it continue

We were better when Mahrez went off and the stats prove this so it is not bias against him

There's never any bias in calling it as it is. Mahrez should not be at City. Pep and his cohorts screwed up badly signing him. We have to live with it. However, i think he knows he will not be asked to extend - like Mendy.

I wouldn't put him in with Mendy, who is just a waste of a shirt.
Mahrez is just a specialised luxury we don't need

Wonder hows Robertson's back after what Phil and Bernie did to him today?

I don’t know how to put videos on here
But if anyone can there is a brilliant one going around on TikTok of Micah singing it’s all gone quiet over there in the studio to Souness and Keane
Funny as fuck

Quality
Liking Micah as a pundit. Obviously is in our favour and is unashamedly forthright about it, but he is fair and will call us if we deserve it. About time we had someone regularly in our corner

Superb. Sleep well, Blues.

Keane added: 'You keep telling me Liverpool is a huge club. If you're a huge club you have to deal with setbacks.

'If you want to look at Man City and the form they've been on, you can say they're missing their two best players. Liverpool still had their best attacking players on the pitch, still had the best goalkeeper. International players in midfield.

'Klopp was saying maybe the goalkeeper's feet were cold. It's excuse after excuse. It just goes on and on. Just get on with it. You're Liverpool Football Club, if you keep behaving like that, it will be another 30 years before you win another title.'

i officially love roy keane.

Just saw that Mahrez was chatting to his mates Mane and Salah on the pitch for ages after the match instead of celebrating with our boys. Please fuck him off this summer. What a waste of money.

Having watched the match on Sly and MOTD on BBC, still not seen a VAR of Stones being off side. Why not? Anyone seen the image of him being off?
Please post, if so.

Pep says the so called racist tweet broke him. It took him a while to get over it. Best thank Mendy, brings zero to our club or team and nearly destroyed one of our best players indirectly. He should be banned from social media and shipped to mars

All a bit odd. Someone started a thread on Reddit about it, and the mods pulled it.

But this is all I can find, and he does look pretty offside to me in it, but I can't see why they're trying to bury it.

Looks offside but.......can't see when the ball is played in that shot. Why no images of the stupid lines they always use?

Just had a quick look at the match thread on RAWK. Some absolute bollix. Manė was "hacked down twice" for what should have been a penalty at the end of the first half when the reality is he wasn't touched until he had already gone down. The penalty was "stonewall" because he was pulled back although one of them seemed quite grounded, admitting it was soft. Even they know what's going on with Oliver though as one pointed out that they were lucky he was ref. He seemed reluctant to book the dippers. (Fabinho trip for penalty, TAA pulling back to stop the counter) but could not wait to book Ruben for the merest of grabs at Salah. I've no doubt it would have been worse with the crowd in.
