Disgusting key decisions tonight, both from the same moron. Haven't seen a replay of the 'goal', just seen lots of reports that it was probably onside. As for the penalty and red card, I don't need a replay, it was such a clean tackle and the lino didn't flinch to start with, ref gives a corner and suddenly he lifts his flag up. Such a delay, what could've gone through his mind to pause for a moment and decide it was a penalty? Ridiculous and then a red card as well, wasn't he a bit wide (that I do need to see again)?

At 1-0 down we'd got some sort of foothold and were competing, City definitely ran out of steam for a bit. Yes they're a great side, better than us and everybody else but, their away record isn't brilliant and they were gifted the match. They may have won anyway but it was not looking certain at all.

Bentaleb was surely coming off if Dembele wasn't injured? He was way out of his depth. Generally great effort all round I think, a very risky set-up but it wasn't that which cost us in the end. Needed Vert and Sandro. Chiriches was very good at times.

And Fernandinios blatant attempt to punch the ball out to stop capoue scoring, personally think that should of been a red, blatant professional fowl!

Yeah, shame he didn't keep it out really. May have converted the penalty and been 10 against 10 with our tails up.

Simmo, completely agree with you, this game was a game too far for Bentalab! Constantly got caught in possession in the first half and kept giving the ball away. He's going to be a very good player and last night will have be great experience for him, but sherwood should have played Capoue from the start.
