Guarantee when we drop points or lose a game, it will be “the honeymoon period is over!”

I already saw a viral tweet yesterday saying "I still think Liverpool will drop off".

No sh!t, it's been 3 games

drop off from averaging 3ppg and 100%

ima go out on a limb here and say i think we will concede at some point too.

Let's not forget that City have won 3 while resting Rodri and Foden. A fresh Rodri could mean another title.

Pep said the first 3 games were their pre season aswell which is pretty eerie.

our first 3 were our preseason for players returning from the euros

opps forgot to add 'eerie'

Rice is out for the NLD I think, which is quite funny

Aren't Spurs due a result against them?

theyll spurs it up

Apparently refs buggered-up and Gakpo should have had a penalty against Utd, someone start the log of ref errors for 24/25

That was definitely a decision that was influenced by the scoreline and context of the match situation at the time. Should never happen but it does regularly. That being said, had it been 1-0 to United at the time, I reckon they still don’t give it.

was that when gakpo did that thing players do to win free kicks all the time? step across the player and force the foul?

i felt it was the right decision if its that one on the edge of the box imo.

Should store that in the OP.

Ah now i see the issue with it. Ref indicated play on so he felt it was a foul and played advantage.

So VAR should have told him that foul was in the box but didnt...

Disband the PGMOL and put to pasture anyone associated with them.

Was a clear pen. Taylor has this habit where the score influences him. I remember in the 5-0 he gave Pogba yellow for a clear leg breaker on Naby. Luckily VAR made him overturn that clanger.

not gonna be too hard on taylor he did some brilliant refereeing for our 2nd n 3rd goals. Loans of refs would have been soft and given free kicks im sure of it.

Also he played adv its VARs job to tell him it was in the box.

szobs heat map vs utd.

no wonder utd had issues with him, all over the place

Taylor is more pro Man City than United which says it all. He is my bro in laws neighbour and he tells me that he is no Altrincham fan.

Yeah...faulting that referee performance is just nitpicking tbh

Arsenal fans learning how many man city pro refs there are from in and around manchester Kavanagh first. wait till they get tierney all the time and the others.

Agreed, just thought I'd mention it in here

On the topic of the 0-5, we could have gone for more but definitely slowed down as Utd were lashing-out towards the end. Quite funny thinking it could have been a worse score-line than 5.

Also that cream kit is one of my favs from last few years, gorgeous kit

I love the kit also...but fack me that tick just looks weird af...to the point it probably won't sell as much as it could

Anyone order kits from dhgate before? They are fakes but look better than the kits you can buy from Sports direct.
