We’ve been playing well until yesterday

One goal from open play isn’t it? And that was the belter from Cornet from an excellent Vydra assist which kinda backs up my point.

Is the city keeper, Ederson, more skilful than any of our outfield players?

Doesn’t back up any point for me. My argument is based on the overall performances prior to yesterday. I don’t think we’ve got the results out performances have deserved.

What a pass that was to Foden from Ederson. Top class.

We've probably been the worst team in the league defensively not sure what performances are saying otherwise.

Foden’s already missed more chances than we created yesterday

Not sure we'll finish above Brentford, but Palace only have 1 win to their name in 7 games, and that came against a 10 man Spurs.

If our next 2 games were Palace at home and Brentford at home particularly after yesterdays game you would expect 6/6 points ??

Great goal by Foden to level things up

ClaretTony · Post by **ClaretTony** » Sun Oct 03, 2021 6:00 pm

This match is enthralling. They are by a mile the best two teams in the league.

HOW does Milner not get booked again ? Abysmal officiating again

KRBFC · Post by **KRBFC** » Sun Oct 03, 2021 6:04 pm

How was that not a yellow card, then referee gives Liverpool a soft free kick to send Pep over the edge.

icu81b4 · Post by **icu81b4** » Sun Oct 03, 2021 6:04 pm

Milner should be off, Pep is appalled at the Ref.

Yes, very odd that's not as yellow.

What a stunning goal from Salah - brilliant

Comes from a James Milner throw in who shouldn't even be on the pitch, well done referee

Vegas Claret · Post by **Vegas Claret** » Sun Oct 03, 2021 6:06 pm

That Salah kid looks decent

Snap!

I’m sat here wondering just how teams like ours are playing in the same league as these two.

Brilliant afternoon of football. Didnt see the Spurs game but both the Palace and West Ham games were a great watch and then City/Liverpool has lived up to the billing to finish it off

Newcastleclaret93 · Post by **Newcastleclaret93** » Sun Oct 03, 2021 6:13 pm

Phil Foden has got to be one of the best young talents on the planet. He is absolutely sensational

I'm surprised they don't steal officials from other countries and sign them to contracts.

Burnley v Norwich was way better

Vino blanco · Post by **Vino blanco** » Sun Oct 03, 2021 6:27 pm

Agree ct, it is wonderful to see two teams playing out and out attacking football, running at pace with the ball, getting lots of players in dangerous positions, all playing with skill, vision and technique. A joy to watch.

bfcjg · Post by **bfcjg** » Sun Oct 03, 2021 6:29 pm

The top 4 are so far ahead of the rest of us it's not a competition there is almost 3 leagues,top 4,mid table possible Europe qualifiers, then the rest of us scraping points ascend where can.

beddie · Post by **beddie** » Sun Oct 03, 2021 6:33 pm

A straight forward officiating decision and what does he do tierney, decides he hasn’t see it, thinks it’s not a foul or makes his own rules up. Mike Dean takes the wrath of Pep, said nothing and did nothing, I sometimes wonder what is the point. The games are becoming farcical.

With the squad they have and the spending capacity I think they are,just need a decent manager.

City are in for a hell of a shock when we turn them over.

Make it happen, Clarets.

PadihamThickNeck · Post by **PadihamThickNeck** » Sun Oct 03, 2021 7:37 pm

Grealish is a hinderance for them. They should of spent the money on a striker. They accommodate him in a system he doesn’t suit, he holds on to the ball for too long and slows play down when City are all about pass and move.

Was thinking this myself watching. He’s definitely got to adapt his game if he’s to succeed I think. Foden far better out on the left than he has been.

Foden is an absolute superstar in the making. Can't wait to see how he features for England over the next decade

As for the officiating in that game, it's just a joke. It was a definite foul on Foden on the edge of the box. And I think it probably continues into the box. I think that's a penalty.

But the Milner incident is just unbelievable. If a referee sees that foul and doesn't give a yellow, then as previously stated, what's the point??

Agree re Foden, still stunned though that Southgate doesn't play him enough.
