Think I heard that's 8 penalties in 8 games for City. Ridiculous. Have we had a single one yet? I can't remember.

[Tautvix 1,321]

So where was that special City style in the last 3 games?

We got one in the first game against West Ham. But how we didn't get one against Hull and today is really questionable.

They travel to Barcelona now. 4 games without a win most probably then. Are they already preparing a spending spree for January?

[Ledg 643]

If Swansea could've scored with a man up it would've been great. Still a very good weekend for us with City and Spurs both drawing.

Draw on Monday. Nothing more to ask for.

1 clean sheet in 8 PL games for Pep's City now... What do you make of that, Cholo?

Something is wrong referee in Epl. How in the hell that was a red card for Granit. If that was a red, we are going to have at least 2 red cards every game

I don't think they played that bad. Everton had only one chance the whole game and city had 2 penalties and one goal.

My point is that a few weeks ago City were about to walk this league. And now they are not that good at all. The title race and top 4 will be so tough this season..

Nah they won't walk this league because Epl has plenty of good teams and city is not a super team like Barcelona or RM. 

However I still think  they will win the league because  I have watched maybe 4/5 of their games so far, and they haven't played  badly in any of them except maybe their 1st game

I didn't see it live, so I don't know where the referee was, but my first reaction was that it was cynical, he had no chance of winning the ball and he kicked out at a player that had beaten him. Then you get Barrow going down the way he did. It looked worse than it was.

im guessing it'll be successfully appealed. 

[Laylabelle 9,456]

The red card in the West Ham was dodgy as well. Never a dive and should've been a pen!

Oh it was cynical and it was intentional but I thought it was more of a professional foul.  He didn't swing it violently, it was just a bad call imo

I'm sure Barrow's reaction didn't help the case when it happened live. I totally agree with you.

Jose Mourinho under investigation by the FA

[Hybrid Angel 2,130]

For today's game I'm predicting 3-0 to the scousers. Firmino and Klopp masterclass. Jose for me is just too old and weak tactically to beat Klopp

[Fernando 6,537]

I think Mourinho likes to play Liverpool. So hopefully it's a good match. 

[Tautvix 1,321]

It's actually Jose's type of game because everyone thinks Liverpool will beat Man Utd easily.
