They can't stop Pep fairly they have to do ojoro and change the rules mid game

2 handballs ignored

Going by this, Mane did not deserve a penalty against Leciester or Tottenham since the defenders were in possession of the ball and tried to kick it when Mane stepped in.

A40:
Refs use their discretion all the time. This is why we won't see 70 penalties. It's also why we don't see more players blatantly aim at a player's hands from 2.5 yards away

SkimpleD:

Is that why a Chelsea young side led by a rookie coach is tipping an Apari led side coupled together with billions?

How is that different from what Mane did to sissoko in the ucl?

iamoyindamola:
why do you think defenders put both hands backwards when marking in box18?

raumdeuter:


Then why the need to do further ojoro to further stop him if they are not scared of him doing 3 in a row

A40:
Possession? How are you in possession of something when another player has stepped in front of you. If you have to kick Mané before kicking the ball then your guess is as good as mine

raumdeuter:


Thats the ojoro in the game

3 in a row ko, 10 in a row ni.

Why can't your apari win fair and square with a billion dollar team instead of relying on some cheap calls that didn't go his way..

Eruditor:


Not just the handballs.

Too many fouls by Liverpool players without yellow cards.

A40:
Haba you people should fear God nauuuuuu. You can see Sissoko stretching hand like yellow fever inside box 18 and you're comparing it to Trent's case

Eruditor:


Possession is established by whoever controls the ball first. So the foul should have gone against Mane going by your argument. You are right that refs use discretion but the ref was wrong today..twice.

Because TAA's hand position can not be treated as natural.

iamoyindamola:
That one is no body business, that's the rule.
Handball is pk

At some point last season, City were behind Tottenham and Chelsea as well as LFC.

I warned you people that they will win the league. You did not listen. You will eat your words again.

obainojazz:
I'm sure you saw distance and other stuff... Why should a defender put his hands behind when he is close to his opponent.

raumdeuter:


Why do defenders keep their hands behind them in the box and not in the natural position

Unlimited22:
Eruditor, football is not maths.

The gap, while definitely not insurmountable, is growing quickly.

If City fail to beat Chelsea after the break, things get even more interesting. We meet in May 2020.

POpizaino...

Pop that thing

SkimpleD:

You are mistaken. I care less where City finish this season.


What’s important is that this Chelsea side seats on top of them.

raumdeuter:


Why does every defender do it except those from Liverpool

A40:
They are only taking extra precaution. There is no law that says you must put your hands behind you
