also.....who cares...

great result

How many of you clowns knew that everton goal was onside before you saw all the slo mo's on Sky? It looked well offside even the pundits thought it was offside initially, in slow motion and freeze frame with a drawn line across the pitch it eventually showed that 2 inches of Kolarov's heel played him onside. The officials made a tight call that happened in seconds so get off your moral soap box. How many of you would have claimed offside had it been your team the goal was given against? The handball should have been a penalty by Fellaini, Osman never played the ball with his hand, it brushed his fingers so slightly the trajectory of the ball never varied until it was blocked by Fellaini with his raised hands. The referee bottled it and never gave the true handball decision, that's my opinion although i don't expect any rags to agree. Why are there so many on here just now anyway? they call us bitters?

Straw gradping mate

Grasping even

its now just a matter of when and by how much

We were very poor today, the stats show we had all the possession no surprise with a man extra. We had more than double the shots, more on target, half the fouls count of Everton who were lucky to have 10 men on the park after Fellaini's challenge early on in the first half and yet strangely we had more yellows? Dzeko was booked for what can only be descibed as a gentle push in the back of Amichebe who continually fell over very easy for a big solid built lad, ok it was a foul but a card offence? Mancini was livid about it and no wonder, some of Mr Probert's decisions were very strange.
Nastasic was lucky not to concede a penalty too after blocking Fellaini in the box with his arm across him but Fellaini went down too easy looking for it which is why i think he didn't get the decision.
Over the piece i think a draw would have been fair, Everton were more up for it but City created enough chances to score at least 3 and Everton's second was in the dying seconds when the game was already over.

Why grasping? again, without the help of Sky how many of you wondered why Probert gave a free kick outside the box for a handball 2 yards inside the box? Honestly?

Agree with most of what you said, but City didn't really get going at all until the last 15/20mins or so, Evertons keeper deserved man of the match for me.

Everton's keeper....looks like a white Patrick Viera

What happened to giving the attacking player the advantage? Morallas should of been given the goal even if it was a tight decision.

The two decisions even themselves out. Everton should have been 2-0 up.

Mirallas

To be fair, he had already turned down a blatant penalty for Everton, sent off their most creative player (probably his best decision of the day) and ruled out a perfectly good Everton goal. It was not even nearly offside.

Of course it should have been a penalty, it was a bad call.

Not sure a draw would have been enough for city even if it had been given though.

A great decision by the ref

Gave the free for the ball hitting Osmans hand outside the box

After this foul the ball traveled and hit Fellani on the hand so he had to call it back for the first handball.

A terrific decision
