TheGoodJoe:


Very precise.

I did not even take note of the foul but as for the offside, the player was definitely interfering with play. If the ball went in front of him, it could be allowed but stepping over the ball is offside and Dembele fouled Laporte. No two ways about it.

The fact is that if we played our normal game, this would have been a routine win. Guardiola also let us down.



“Surely he can’t give that!” exclaimed Steve McManaman on BT Sport commentary.


“I was very surprised the contact wasn’t given as a foul, especially as the consequences were the player who instigated that potential foul went on to score the goal. He had a material impact in that decision – so I am surprised that wasn’t given as a foul.”

TheGoodJoe:
However, both Ferdinand and Hart believe there was clear contact on Laporte, albeit unintentional, and the goal shouldn't have stood.

"I think it's a foul," Ferdinand told BT Sport.

"If I'm on that pitch, it's got to be. He's connected and he's the one who went on to score. City were dominating at that time.

"There is 100 per cent contact. I don't understand how they can't call that? People will be saying conspiracy theories now if you're a City fan.

"I believe that's a foul and it's the man who goes on to score the goal."


"It's not intentional, that's clear but there is a clash of legs," Hart added.

"Does it then go with the referee's decision because he's seen it?"

Funny if anyone still thinks there is no gang up against Manchester City.

Corrupt folks.

Well, i guess it's a Tooth for a Tooth


I'm more concerned about the Offside call though, Ekambi jumped over the ball while running, that's interferance imo

But like i said, an eye for an eye

jihday:
You no dey disappoint

daveP:
Mou had 3 semis

Pep 8 quarters!!!




I want Leipzig to win this then.


Gabriel will have 100chances and waste 98.

TheGoodJoe:


That is Rio Ferdinand talking, not me.

TheGoodJoe:


As far as I am concerned, Gabriel Jesus had a good game. He created that chance Sterling missed.

daveP:
I rooted for City or Bayern. But City out


Now revelations


Pep's transfer spend:

€383m at Barça (4 seasons)
€204.4m at Bayern (3 seasons)
€841.1m at MCFC (4 seasons)

Total = €1.429 BILLION in 11 seasons

As of now, Pep since 2011 has spent €1.105 BILLION with Barça, Bayern & Man City without winning a Champions League! #UCL https:///Jvt4ICO0gz

jihday:
I'm talking about your UEFA agenda. This is 2020 but some adult still think some people can sit in a boardroom and prevent their team from achieving success

JayromWrites:


Pep has a champions league with Barca i believe

This one wrong gan

jihday:
Pep was brought in to win the UCL but he has failed to equal Pellegrini's semi final record in 4yrs despite spending about 700mill pounds on transfer. #Fraudiola

TheGoodJoe:


You think there was no agenda when they banned City from the champions league? It is beyond coincidence. It happens every year now. Did you not see Llorente last season? You think it is a coincidence that back to back we are going out with clear bias from var.

TheGoodJoe:


Difficult to win when there is a clear unfair gang up against him. That talk is stale when he is clearly being cheated.

jihday:
Was there an agenda against Chelsea when they were punished? You guys broke the law and you were duly punished, there's no agenda anywhere. From 2009 to about 2012 referees always seem to favour Barcelona, I honestly don't think it was backed by UEFA I just feel they were lucky. Quit this your agenda if you guys played well you'd have beaten Lyon, you just weren't good enough

jihday:
Same Guardiola that always received favourable calls when he was at Barcelona? Why the gangup now? He no dey pay UEFA yearly dues again?

TheGoodJoe:


I am not talking just Guardiola but a clear gang up against Manchester City. Guardiola is just caught in the crossfire.

So saying he has not won Champions league is stale when there is a repeated attack on Manchester City.

TheGoodJoe:


It is beyond luck. Only those that want to lie to themselves will hide from the obvious. There was clear misunderstanding to the emails, UEFA knew and turned their eyes from hearing the facts.

If not the courts, the ban will stand. Which shows their bias against City.

The decision today like Llorente's handball is beyond luck because it was a var decision. They saw a clear foul on Laporte and a clear handball by Llorente on repeat and decided against us.

That is the truth.

TheGoodJoe:


As far as I am concerned, Gabriel Jesus had a good game. He created that chance Sterling missed.

eazyjakes:

Wow....You’ve moved from Arsenal packing the bus to gang up against Man City!.....U neva admit that City is not good enough wheneva they are beaten!

Subzero047:
Imagine having 1 shot on target in a quarter final game and people say you have a good game because of 'workrate'

This Brazilian fraud is messing up Man city

TheGoodJoe:


Gabriel Jesus had a good game. The chance he created for Sterling was magical. If Sterling scored, he would have had an assist.

TheGoodJoe:


Gabriel Jesus had a 7.77 rating on whoscored. One of the highest in the game.

Subzero047:


I admit he didn't have a bad game but he had one shot one target, one if Aguero had one shot on target he had a horrendous game

And the Sterling chance was not magical it was a misplaced shot, I will continue to do the Lord's work until this fraud is exposed

Subzero047:


What did he actually do, was he a threat in the air, on the ground, did he link up play, did he play in behind the defenders?

It's a pity that I actually have to ask this of a Man city striker
