That's not the rule. He has to be in control of the slide which he's not because he takes out the other players standing leg. It's only because he turns that he didn't go straight through him.

In reality, I stopped using my fingers for expressive cursing in primary school. Like full kit wankers, finger swearing wankers are a touch below my standards.
Nothing is as bad as the wanker gesture though
Son, stay at home.

Reports from Brazil that Coutinho was manipulated by Barca into not playing for Liverpool.

Wouldn't surprise me one bit if true, doing the same shit with Dembele. How the fuck do they keep getting away with it?

If that's a yellow may as well pack it up now.
Before the game absolutely. Being up a man for a significant portion of the game after being up 1, they have to be somewhat disappointed to walk away with only 1 point.

Think this is more Phil realising he's backed himself into a corner. Understanding he's going to be a Liverpool player and starting to back peddle. Play the manipulation card. Of course it's also true, but he's not stupid. Then will come a fan apology and probably sack his agent who never put a release clause into his contract anyway.

I find flipping off to be dumb all around. Don't think I have ever actually done it when I was legit angry at someone.

'manipulated'
Like I know he probably has a bunch of people in his ear saying to press the issue but it's still his responsibility. Still, if reports are trying to make him seem like a good guy hopefully it means he's ready to get back into the team.

Probably. Either way both he and Barca have been total cunts. With a bit of luck he has a great season here and we sell him to PSG for stupid money.
I'm sure Neymar will soon start making statements about how much he wants Phil in Paris.

Bull. Aguero clearly plants his foot. Its simulation.
James Pearce all keeps talking about Van Dijk for hits ��

I don't understand these reports about Phil agreeing 'personal terms' with Barca before a transfer had occurred. Isn't that tapping up?
He hits his left foot before he gets the ball. It's almost a fantastic tackle. But with the ferocity of it, he had to get the ball clean to avoid a booking.

Good game. City really need to work on the final third, second game where the quality there was a problem. The defence, mid and keeper all look solid. Except for a stupid mistake by Sané but bringing in Mendy when he is fit should solidify that.
Hopefully City will go back to the 4-3-3 with Sane, Jesus and Sterling supported by de Bruyne when Mendy is fit as that is by far the best attacking set up with the way Pep likes to play and plays to all their strengths. Team needs to stop being whiney though, if your going to play the fouls don't moan afterwards when it doesn't go your way.
Everton look solid. Only made one defensive mistake all game which resulted in the goal but if they can keep organised like that they shouldn't lose many games.
Ref was way too card happy. Needs to let things slide for a better game and prevent teams playing for fouls.

"Saints may change their mind after they sign Hoedt" nope he is a replacement for Fonte.

Yh think Pep should play Bernardo Silva instead of David Silva. David Silva doesn't have the legs anymore

Anyone Liverpool fan that still thought we were signing him after what happened in June is delusional. Everything since then has been about getting a move to Chelsea.
Wilshere playing for Arsenal reserves?
Yellow Card is too harsh, because he clearly goes for the ball and achieves his goal. He even touches the ball first (milliseconds though).
Markitron

Until his legs fall off again. I'm sure he can get regular parts in Guy Ritchie movies when he finally retires later this year.

B-Siva looked really good once he got settled. D-Silva still has it and became much better once Sterling came on, then even better when B-Silva came on as he is better when he can play one touch football. Prior to that KdB was very deep a lot of the time, Aguero and Jesus aren't the best in providing build up play and seem to just inhibit each other.
Shame.
I know I probably shouldn't tempt fate but I'd kinda like to see us take him on loan...

He's just not the player he was, injuries have taken a toll on him. IMO he should drop down to the championship and try to rebuild from the ground up. If he's still good enough for the PL he will end up back there sooner rather than later. That performance against Barca seems like another lifetime now.
He had some flashes of quality at Bournemouth but I think he's done. Arsenal should try and get as much money as possible for him while they still can.

I'm not sure they will get anything for him, don't know how long is left on his deal but I woulda thought Arsenal would be just happy to get him off the books.

Wilshere could probably do well in Serie A, maybe La Liga? He looked so good once, I'd hate for him to play out his career getting kicked around the Championship.
Markitron

I doubt he would have much of a rep outside England anymore. Add to that his injury record and the fact that he might not be good enough for either of those leagues anymore. Championship is prolly the best place right now.

It was a soft yellow but for how the ref was booking Calvert-Lewin did the right thing. Walker made no attempt for the ball and it was clear the ref was going to be a cunt all game. Took City far too long to start playing that game back.
He isn't going to bother learning the basic football communications in Spanish or Italian either so will be useless like the few that do go over.

Refs in the PL have no accountability and there are no consequences when they have a bad game. They get to pretend like nothing happened and just move on. That's the problem.

Yeah that is a problem. As is the inconsistency between games and different refs on the type of decisions they make.
I generally don't give a fuck about the refs any more. They make bad decisions every game so prefer to look at what the teams do to adapt to the play the refs are trying to dictate.
I'll take it.... begrudgingly.
We were awful, sitting back against 10 men. But I am happy we played with 3 youngsters (Davies, Holgate, Calvert-Lewin) who all were outstanding. We played at away, and there is some issue with fitness' as well gelling.
But drawing, and almost losing against 10 men really hurts
