Match Thread Manchester City v Everton - Preview, Match Report and MotM Poll

[Hickson9]

Did look off that tbf

Erm, he was clearly off.....

 

[PhilM]

That was clear and obvious - an example of all the tech should be used for.

Agreed. Like the commentators said, there was no need for a line or analysis in minute detail: they played it back and it was a clear error on behalf of the linesman.

 

[Rooney_Tunes]

We have been very poor. Tippy tappy rubbish.

 

[Billysgingham.]

The same thing will happen again if Davies doesn't wake up.

 

[irishtony1878]

Good job, because we don't win coming from behind

 

[Wayno]

Honestly that’s how VAR should be used. No lines or weird angles, just he was half a yard off and it was checked. End of.

 

[Death]

Everton getting by-product luck from VAR handing Liverpool the title.

 

[DanB90]

I didn’t pick up on it to be fair, but linesman looked like he was right on top of that one.
Are they encouraged to keep the flag down and let VAR decide, or has he just not seen it?

 

[Osamabindiesel]

What happened to Bernard btw? Was he injured?

 

[ToffeeTim]

We're playing well imo

Not for me.

We're trying and failing to play possession football in our own third. Its naive and you lose at the Etihad badly usually playing that way.

I fear it is the former.

Mina kicked him in the warm. South American tensions.

 

[blueblueday]

They are playing with us aren't they

 

[bluelife]

Getting a bit of a bruising here

We didn't under Silva because he was as inspiring as a wet fish, however I suspect that may be different under our new manager.
