It's true that every club has probably had poor decision going against them, but City have had contentious decisions go against them time and time again.

You missed the previous still where Silva handles it.

Having just seen the incident (I refuse to watch that lot live) it hit Silva’s hand and headed towards Alexander, and then it hits Alexander’s hand. The first cancels out the second. The ref got lucky in that it was the correct call, but not for the reason he thinks. In isolation that from Alexander is a pen. If the attacking player handles it (intent or otherwise) it’s a foul, so the play was dead after Silva handles it.

Having said that, I hate the new handball interpretation, offside too (there should be at least a body width). It’s become far too pernickety.

Nope. When it hits Silva it richocets onto his hand from his leg, then from his arm 2 metres (enough for Arnold to drop his arm to stop it) towards Arnold. The first is a ricochet deemed accidental, Arnold's arm is up and moves towards the ball - even Aguero manages to move out of the way. Arnold's arm is definitely not in a natural position - they are out to make himself wider, with the added bonus of him moving his arm towards the ball to stop it.

It's not the right call at all.

It´s simple stuff. Silva´s handball was accidental, Alexander-Arnold was as clear handball as you´ll see all season. The arm is out and the ball is going to a City player at the back post. No one can tell me the referee waves play on if that´s on the half way line. He bottled it and so did his mate Mike Dean.
 

What an absolute pigs ear this handball rule is.

Ok, so apparently (as said on MOTD) Silva’s handball which ricocheted the ball towards Alexander who also then handled it...Silva’s handball in this incident plays no part in the decision. Therefore it’s a penalty.

However, if Alexander doesn’t handle the ball, and it goes straight through to Sterling who scores, the goal is ruled out as Silva’s handball DOES count as it created a goalscoring opportunity.

Absolute bleedin lunacy.

The rule which nobody whatsoever was asking for. If the ball accidentally hits someone´s hand then so what? It´s accidental and you play on.

Holy [Poor language removed] that's insane! There is literally, according to the dumbest FA in England, no correct outcome...

But the ball hit Alexander Arnold's arm and Liverpool scored what 22 seconds later? So they gained an advantage by him handling it. So should be ruled out, and a pen to City but oh no. Hard playing against Liverpool as it is as they are a good team but adding in VAR screwing you over aswell it's almost an impossible task
