Didn't the ball hit the Villa defender's (?Cash's) arm before it hit Havertz'? Seemed it was either a penalty or a goal to me.

Defenders hand not deliberate no pen
Attackers hand not deliberate no goal thens the laws

Yea I think so, it certainly hit his arm which highlights it as a nonsense IMO.

Haaland had one disallowed in a similarly nonsensical way.

The rules are so overwrought now, they need simplified.

Pretty simple disagree or don’t understand but it’s pretty simple

Surely if people don’t understand it is far from ‘pretty simple’?

Yes that was my understanding but it is pretty nonsensical no? Football is supposed to be entertaining so why allow defenders to handle accidentally but not forwards. It's similar to how defenders can hold forwards at corners but forwards can't accidentally touch a keeper.

I wasn't criticising the referee, I was criticising the silly new law.

Fancy Luton to cause an upset today. 14/1 looks interesting given they almost got something against arsenal and Man City are without Haaland and out of sorts.

 

[ovduk78]

That is what I saw, who would watch this?

 

[Tommo1993]

No Haaland, no Doku. Hoping for a Walker hat trick then.

/heads off to check subs in fantasy team

At least not putting Solanke in my starting line-up won't be the disaster it could have been.

Salah vice captain too?

 

[Tommo1993]

At this point I’m just interested to see if Luton manage to cling on for another hour.

 

[Deleted member 5849]

Alas, Saka. Salah's not in my team, I've gone rogue with West Hamness!

 

[Fysnkysc]

Man city look diabolical in front of goal, so slow.

 

[Fysnkysc]

Haha is if luton have scored.

 

[Tommo1993]

Hahaha omg, go on Luton!

 

[SBAndy]

Someone check on @Blind-Faith

 

[Paul Anthony]

Luton score, and the camera can't wait to cut to a shot of Guardiola.

And shock he’s fucking moaning.

 

[Tommo1993]

Was walking out the room but that tantalising cross stopped me.

 

[Blind-Faith]

Fucking disgrace! Those fucking long ball pricks, it should of been us

 

[Blind-Faith]

Someone check on @Blind-Faith

Thankyou, somebody needs to

Man city look out of ideas

A lot of teams struggle to play at their cow shed of a ground. Doesn’t help he didn’t start with Haaland

 

[San Francisco]

Man city look out of ideas

Completely lost without Haaland and KDB.

 

[Blind-Faith]

Ok, Haaland is out injured so that makes sense why he isn’t playing , didn’t realise that earlier

 

[SkyblueTexan]

Fucking disgrace! Those fucking long ball pricks, it should of been us

All credit to them. They’ve done better than most expected and might even stay up. Haven’t been embarrassed in any match this season unlike Sheff Utd.

 

[Terry Gibson's perm]

Very good finish by Silva.

 

[Tommo1993]

They’ll go on and romp them now won’t they.

 

[Paul Anthony]

Luton Keeper's done well all game, not much he could do about that one.

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Huh?

The handball rule is pretty simple
It’s ok to disagree
It’s ok to not know it
But it’s pretty simple
Not deliberate defender not pen
Not deliberate attacker no goal
For that incident

 

[Nick]

Man city look out of ideas

Not now

 

[Paul Anthony]

Unbelievable. Pep won't be so grumpy now....

 

[Nick]

Defender should have had that away

 

[wingy]

Disallowed if Var.
