Hopefully the Haaland glazing will stop once everyone realises he’s not the best striker in the league:

Bit unfair those stats exclude Keane's goals at the other end.
Could always tell he was a good finisher by the way he regularly put the ball past Pickford

How old are Ossie?

Glaze??

What has happened to Foden?

 

[Magma]

without rodri we're a joke defensively

You look almost as shaky as we do on the break

 

[Magma]

we've never been great at defending counter attacks but ****ing hell it's a gaping hole in midfield currently. not too sure what the solution is either.

 

[moomba]

Think he is talking about Raya

Agh right.

 

[moomba]

You can’t be sent off for a foul that results in a penalty.

You can if its not a genuine attempt at a tackle (I haven't seen it so have no idea if it was or wasnt).

Stones in midfield? Kovacic and Gundogan aren't exactly quick

 

[hawkman]

Great goal

 

[hawkman]

Has Haaland touched it yet?

 

[moomba]

Bizarre to be moaning about that. If the ref draws a line and you keep stepping over it you're going to get booked.

 

[Magma]

really ordinary, plain performance. not much in the way of creativity and looked vulnerable on the break. 90 mins of left to right with hopefully a piece of magic against hard working teams just isnt going to cut it every week. need to find ways to get haaland to be able to get some space but there seems to be a real lack of ideas right now.

 

[Magma]

turns out you only need 18 corners to get it done

 

[moomba]

Get in.

Big moment for City there, even if the season is still very young. They always find a way.

 

[moomba]

Tough game, and no matter where Wolves are or how they're playing it's always a struggle against them.

Credit to the ref backing his own judgement against VAR. He got it right imo.

How long is Rodri out for? Could be a massive problem for you guys.

 

[Munga]

WTF you can't block the keeper from coming for the ball, add to it he was offside. Every team will be shepherding keepers from the ball now. Dumbest goal.

Season.

yeah if bernardo was still in front of sa when it connects with stones' head it should be ruled out but he's clear of his eyeline by then.

You can't be offside from a corner. When Stones headed the ball he wasn't impacting the goalkeepers movement or line of sight.

 

[moomba]

Apparently the goal was ruled out on field, and the ref overturned based on VAR.

Sorry Stuart Attwell, I didn't mean any of it.

 

[jod23]

Season.

Oh...

 

[RossFC]

Correct call. Bernardo timed it perfectly getting out of the way. If he was a half second slower, it would have been ruled out.
