I agree and am very angry. But when playing against Liverpool and the full wait of the officials then you can’t complain with what we did.

Is this 2 points dropped for us or a point gained? We should’ve been better in front of goal earlier on but under the circumstances, I can’t complain.

Great to see us come back against adversity.

For me, as the away team following on from two other extremely tough away fixtures in the last week, it’s very much a point gained

One of our closest rivals have passed up the opportunity to gain a march on us in their home game. Before the game I’d personally have taken a point here so I’m happy with the returns from the last 2 PL games. And the way we dominated the first half and came back not once, but twice, will give us plenty of confidence going forward

I think Klopp alluded to it.

Gone are the days of us shitting our pants at Anfield, we are far a better team and it’s them who are playing for mercy.

I’m sick and tired of refs getting away with this kind of officiating- City need to send a strong worded response to the pigs at Pig central .

This comes down to the Spafia, this is their job to get us the protection needed, however, IMHO, it's close to impossible.
Chelsea did not manage to do it.

However, I think I've realized that since the American takeover, I've never seen Scouse robbed in any way, no matter the game. All of their decision went their way.

Pep gets lots of stick (sometimes righty) but occasionally I see him say things that make him look a real blue. Today when he said that at anfield or old Trafford these decisions happen and that if it’s a city player that’s 100% a red he was spot on. I think he knows we’re up against it.

I hope our fans give this shower of cunts what for at the Eitihad fuck me i am fuming, only one football team at Klanfield today, and has for Milner, fuck him, I called this out pre match that if we got at him he would be red carded but the corruption won the day and Tierney fucked us, also no penalty that's a stonewall at the other end, or the swamp, fucking pissing against the wind aren't we

He was spot on tonight, telling everybody that it’s a red if it’s a City player but won’t be given against the red shite. He does it all the time and, however subtle, it’s always there.

Still one over the eight but whilst salad is some fucking player, both their goals came down our left.......still pisses me off but hey ho we came from behind twice - fucking ace that boys, love it

Only you......and you seem to have a short cut set up yo access it...

well for me, im happy to get a point, if ref did his job and sent milner off i am sure we would off passed them to death and come away with 3 points

Forget about not getting a striker in , not having a new fucking left back has been even more criminal IMO.

Agree about the left back, but we've always seemed to manage and Cancelo has played we'll there.

For me if we had a clinical striker in the team, were 2-0 up at half time today and that game is as good as over.
We probably win in Paris as well.

Personally my view is not having a top striker is always going to be our main problem, until its sorted.
Jack Grealish isn't the answer.

If we get the goal, we win comfortably.

Incorrect to single out Cancelo , for the first goal it was Laporte that failed to make the tackle and take one for the team , so to speak.

FFS Salad won the ball on the half way line, so Laporte had ample time to get over and , simply block him.

Cancelo had a stupid attempt to win the ball but after that Laporte should have stepped in when Salah had a heavy touch but he hesitated then backed off and then failed again to make the tackle before Salah passed the ball.
When it comes to saying we need an out and out striker I don't think many people consider what we would be losing from the team by losing a player that pulls people in unorthodox directions. Would we even create a similar amount of chances as we create just now?

No.

So do you agree that we maybe just need to get players like Grealish, de Bruyne, Silva, Mahrez, Jesus, Sterling etc to work on their finishing so that we score the vital goals?

Can’t help but wonder what would have happened if cancelo had tripped Salah on the half way line. Maybe he’d have got away with a warning like Milner, huh?
