Thats a terrible decision by the ref, he couldn't wait to get the card out. And Fernandez made the booking gesture and didn't get booked himself, where as i'm sure one of players did in the first half. Shocking awful referee has ruined the game.
They are cheats, disgusting cheats. This team is built on lies. Their smug manager will be gave it loads in the press conference, saying we are going to get away with it on appeal. They should be out the league now, not it 2 years when the appeal is done. They are getting away what it for sure and they know it.
11 Oct 2026 18:08:24
Massively need investigating.
11 Oct 2026 18:11:10
They're not getting away with it - the other top clubs are absolutely furious with both the Premier League and Man City about the situation. If the appeal fails, as it will, City are facing a long, difficult period away from the bright lights.
We lost today because the team simply isn't good enough yet.
I have been the biggest backer of Wirtz, but he looks an expensive mistake (I still hold out), the midfield remains totally unreliable, Araujo has been great but got utterly grilled against the first good winger he faced, and we have no attackers. The situation is pathetic.

PGMOL making sure they cash in their last few cheques before city go into administration. Smart.
11 Oct 2026 18:15:46
They have been investigated. The problem is it's business as usual. It absolutely needs halted as I said before. It's ludicrous to think this city team could lift trophies again this season.

2nd was a yellow, first wasn;t close.
Realistically they were more likely to score, we have no threat going forward.
{Ed025's Note - i agree Dean..

Good summing up Lowe, spot on analysis. I'd add Barcola to the list of transfer mistakes, he just doesn't look a player at all.
11 Oct 2026 18:27:38
Funny that one ref is already sidelined because of an investigation and they managed to get another corrupt one in this game. The PL is rapidly becoming a horror show.
11 Oct 2026 18:32:24
They'll be in administration soon enough so we can all laugh. Arsenal about to get a million new fans though.
11 Oct 2026 18:38:51
Two soft yellows and we were good for a point before that.
City will get away with it because money talks.
11 Oct 2026 18:44:50
When are we going to address the elephant in the room. If slot was managing then Barcolas performances would be load at his doorstep like Wirtz's were.
Both Wirtz and Barcola look like players who have zero confidence and are playing for a manager who apparently improves everyone through coaching.
Definitely not saying it's Ai's fault. The elephant in the room currently is Wirtz and Barcola.

When you look at Haaland you see a machine who produces time after time, a winner. When I look at Isak, even when he's on the pitch, I see a guy who can finish but he looks fragile physically.
I'd say the same about Wirtz and Barcola, they have talent but they're weak. Neither has end product, and particularly Wirtz looks weak mentality wise.
We have been bailed out this season with goals and assists by Gakpo, Szob and Isak. Obviously without those three we'd struggle against City, but the manner of defeat is the measure of the rest of the squad. These are games you need to draw if a win is unrealistic.
11 Oct 2026 19:13:09
I'll hold out on Barcola because he has just joined so it'll be unfair to have a judgment on him right now. but nobody here in their right mind can tell me with confidence that wirtz helps this team! Brilliant player for Germany not for Liverpool.

JK, I keep saying it, everything will be alright because nearly everyone on here said it was all down to Slot. No it kin wasn't and unfortunately I'm being proved right.
12 Oct 2026 00:24:24
Can you imagine the stick Slot would have got for bringing on Chiesa and Gomez at the end?
And how overweight is Chiesa? Big round chops and a bay window under his shirt.
It must be down to his comfort eating because Slot wouldn't pick him.
{Ed666's Note - we have atrocious squad depth. I’ll never forgive Richard Hughes for this. The new manager cannot play his style of football properly because he hasn’t got the personnel. That is the most shocking thing about this whole scenario. What’s the point of hitting AI? I hope Ward can do better! To be fair it’s literally impossible to do any worse..
