Better side won today.
Yep, agree with all of that, good article Ripley.
For all we’ve spent, we are already far too reliant on Laporte and I think we’re already seeing how difficult both David Silva and Kompany are to replace.
I don’t feel too bad either though, thought we played a lot of good football in the second half and Liverpool did throughout and I’ve always liked the Guardiola Klopp relationship.
Good game and as you say OP, there was an air of inevitability about it.

I don't think he would, since it deflected off Silva's hand. The rules were the same in the World Cup just VAR was used differently.
Great game to watch. I thought city played excellently going forward but their makeshift defence and goal keeper looked shell shocked in the first half.
Long way to go but what does seem different this year is, so far, city look to slightly below the levels they have set the last couple of years.
Plenty of time to turn it around though.

No he wouldn't. Under the new rules the attacking team can't gain an advantage off a handball (regardless of intentional or not and natural/unnatural position.)

It would have been given on the basis of his arms being away from his body, and you’d have backed it.
Totally agree here 👍 as you say good game to watch

Not sure about that, the pl have already said they’ve gone further with it. As Silva didn’t score or create a goal scoring opportunity, then it might have been given at the World Cup.
I don’t have an issue with it though.
Totally agree Melton. We are missing Laporte massively. He makes his central defensive partner so much better. Kind of like VVD does for Liverpool. Without Laporte, we are vulnerable at the back without doubt. His injury alongside not replacing Kompany (easier said than done) will be a crucial factor this season in the title race.
Replacing David Silva will be a similar issue although not as decisive. I'm really hoping Foden can step up and be his natural replacement in the long term. Foden is a ready-made replacement in one respect. We don't have even that potential option when it comes to central defence however.

No it wouldn't as there was a deflection. Not to mention the deflection was actually off the hand of the opposition player. Without that however I'd have given handball due to where his arm was.

If TAA was ruled by VAR as foul play, they would have gone a step back to check the previous action and they would've 100% given Silva's handball as a free kick.
I think Foden will be the answer too, but it will take a while for him to get up to the levels Silva reached, if ever. We’ve been really blessed with him over the past few years.
Said exactly the same about Kompany on a different thread - replacing him is easier said than done. The other thing is the double whammy of playing Fernandinho there and not in midfield. There’s a few games I’d have liked to have seen Rodri and Fernandinho both in midfield, but we haven’t even had the option really yet.
Anyone who thinks that is a deliberate handball - deflection or not - is an idiot. There’s nothing else to say on it really.
Good to see the proper City fans not dwelling on the marginal decisions. Tbf you had a few gilt edged chances to score, and that was the main difference between the two sides.

Yeah I agree with you. Liverpool were the better team - dealt with City's attacks better. Was more ruthless with the attacks they themselves created. Reacted better to incidents in the game. Fully deserved the win.
I do also agree in regards to the trent/silva passage of play. Although what you said in this respect isn't the reason why the penalty wasn't given. Which in my opinion makes a mockery of the decision. It shouldn't have been a penalty because of what you (in my opinion) rightfully say, so why this wasn't given as the reason is just a bit perplexing.

No the PL haven't. They didn't bother going that far back as they deemed TAA's ok. Under the new rules you can't give the attacking an advantage from handball situations.

That’s not what the rule says.
As a total neutral (Celtic fan) who loves watching the way both teams play the game, spot on OP.
Great game to watch, which isn’t often the case when the Prem’s big guns meet. Don’t see how the “contentious” incident at 0-0 could possibly have been a pen for City. As has been said, it doesn’t go anywhere near TAA without Bernardo Silva handballing it 6-8 yards towards him. Never a pen. Nor was the one where Sterling blootered it onto a hand from about 3 feet away!
Long way to go though, and I’d never write off this City side with so many games left ... even with their suspect defence.

So you think a goal would've counted if City scored from a pen even though there was handball leading to the pen?

I strongly suspect that AA would have been punished for handball in the World Cup just gone.
Which of course, would have been an absurd decision.
Be interested to hear TOOR’s view on that. Actually, maybe not.
Good game and as you say OP, there was an air of inevitability about it.

I don't think he would, since it deflected off Silva's hand. The rules were the same in the World Cup just VAR was used differently.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Not sure about that, the pl have already said they’ve gone further with it. As Silva didn’t score or create a goal scoring opportunity, then it might have been given at the World Cup.
I don’t have an issue with it though.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
No the PL haven't. They didn't bother going that far back as they deemed TAA's ok. Under the new rules you can't give the attacking an advantage from handball situations.

That’s not what the rule says.

As a total neutral (Celtic fan) who loves watching the way both teams play the game, spot on OP.
Great game to watch, which isn’t often the case when the Prem’s big guns meet. Don’t see how the “contentious” incident at 0-0 could possibly have been a pen for City. As has been said, it doesn’t go anywhere near TAA without Bernardo Silva handballing it 6-8 yards towards him. Never a pen. Nor was the one where Sterling blootered it onto a hand from about 3 feet away!
Long way to go though, and I’d never write off this City side with so many games left ... even with their suspect defence.

Convenient.
It would have been given on the basis of his arms being away from his body, and you’d have backed it.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
If TAA was ruled by VAR as foul play, they would have gone a step back to check the previous action and they would've 100% given Silva's handball as a free kick.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Having read the rule I don’t agree with that at all.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
So you think a goal would've counted if City scored from a pen even though there was handball leading to the pen?
