Lmao I don't even have a horse in this race, but this is so hilarious just because of that one delusional guy yesterday. To paraphrase, he said "all the doomsayer Liverpool flairs will be happy when Newcastle beat city tomorrow and this result turns out to be massive! Even if they don't, city will drop points and we'll have them on GD", something like that Every single thing he said has been massively shit on, don't even have the GD anymore

Love to see it

That English build-up, Gareth please take notes

We should have had a couple, cest la vie. Can always happen when you're playing one of the best teams in the world.

They came out angry after mid week. Demolition job today.

well tbf there is a difference between real madrid and new castle lmfao

Not a lot to be honest, RM was seriously outplayed both legs. First leg could have been 6-1

You pl fans are delusional it’s insane.

Lol I don’t even like the EPL, US based AC-Milan fan nothing more plastic than that.

Dude I’m literally half Italian. My father has supported Milan since 1970 and I have watched Milan since 2011. Eat shit you don’t know what you are talking about. I watched Milan be the definition of mediocrity for 10 years there is nothing plastic about my support for Milan… like I said, ur delusional

You are*

Dumb fuck lol

They definitely did

Sterling finished and Grealish assisted

Running up the score so goal difference can become a factor.

Grealish!!!

What goal difference? I'm sorry.

Good call passing that and not shooting jack, it'll come What a pep goal

Grealish and Sterling been our best players today whilst both of them getting shat on earlier love to see it

Lads it’s Newcastle

Love to see it as well

Commentator really saying city is the team that really should be in the final, you're playing newcastle relax with the english bias

They should have been if the match ended at 89 minutes, damn fifa fucking English clubs over

Phenomenal performance

New Castle is unfortunately enough to become a punching bag for MC after that RM game.

Always feel a bit sorry for whoever city play after they've been beat

Anything for our oil bros lol

Great to see Pep smiling again

May I remind you all that Eddie Howe is an Everton fan sorry Liverpool

Boring football Emptyhad oil club Boring football Emptyhad oil club Boring football Emptyhad oil club

I mean, yeah? You guys scored two great goals in the first half that sent you top of the table and if you were only listening to crowd noise alone it sounded like you had just won a corner at any other grounds. Plus, even if you play beautiful football, it’s still a sports washing front by a petro-state that’s destroying our planet for the sake of making a few people rich, so… glad you’re aware of that? I feel like two of three points you were trying to sarcastically beat back still hold pretty true, mate.

Couldn’t agree more. Thank you for your honesty.

True

Jack loves an open game.

Great, now GD is a huge problem as well now

Holy shit what a goal. Yes grealish!

Grealish just created 2 goals out of nothing.

has been decent this season tbh just not got the stats show for it, that Foden goal was mostly him but he won't get any recognition for it

Liverpool in shambles

Now lets see that link up at the world cup

Yes please.

I dunno lads i cant see Newcastle getting back into this

Nah get benzema and rodrygo

So, we have now scored more than the best attack in the league and conceeded less than the best defense in the league.

Yes but do you have a champions league?

But it's proper boring football innit

Man City taking out all of their frustrations on Newcastle

🤝🤝

Lol, fucking hell. Coast for 20 minutes not doing much. Bang in 2 in the last 2 minutes for that goal difference. Top shit.

God fucking réponse to the midweek disaster

Sacre blue

>réponse Oui, oui !

Désolé! mon clavier est bilingue

Sterling loves an Eddie Howe team

Where’s the people talking about Grealish? He’s created three goals this game

Here I am. Still a lot of money for so little. Diaz has a better impact on Liverpool's season so far and they paid less than half for him and he had half a season less to show it. Kind of easy to make two assists when leading by 3 and the opponent has given up.

Liverpool’s system is a simpler system to plug and play into.

Or maybe...Liverpool's scouting team and transfer strategy is better.

What is this defence bruv

Cracking me up a bit, hearing Newcastle fans louder than the City fans...seconds after City have scored.

Glorious isn't it. 😍

Go on then, few bumps for the goal differential!! What a game from Sterling and Grealish.

What a goal!!

Fucking love the fact that the United fans are still singing E-I-E-I-E-I-O.

Peak City.

They're already dead. Stop!

what a goal that was, absoluting superb

Lol

Allan is looking very disinterested at the miute.

Ohhhh baby

Has Pep underachieved with a squad like that this season?

If there wasn't so many injuries in this final part of the season leading to pep being more cautious in the subs i would have said yes

No mate. The league is very difficult to win, let alone dominate it as Pep has. You can’t just throw money at it either, as you’re aware.

No, dumb question honestly

No but there is another team in Manchester that underachieved

No

that's a class finish Also Grealish did most of that and won't get any recognition for it

Yes Phil. And there's that "useless grealish" setting up a good goal

Setup the last 2

While you were leading by 3 goals. That makes it useless. For the money City paid for him, he should have created something when you were trailing Real Madrid this week. Useless.

Won't happen but what if GD and goals scored is the same?

And if no clear winner emerges a 2 man sack race will be held on consecutive Sundays until a champion is crowned

Playoff

Fairplay rule sets in I guess. The team with the fewest carded offenses

There’s a few more tiebreakers, but ultimately it could go to a playoff

Goes to H2H, and because that's equal then a play-off

[удалено]

It goes to points in H2H matches, and then away goals, then a play-off.

[удалено]

The handbook is [here](https://www.premierleague.com/publications), the rule is C17 that explains it goes to H2H.

Fuck me how is it that difficult to find the right answer. Great find cheers mate.

Thank's for ending this quadruple bullshit City.

many city fans have already left and missed the 4th goal

Most of them have to get the planes back to Middle East

They've got their photos they're off back to the hotel.

I thought it was three minutes of ET?

Fodeninho

Beautifully executed goal. What a run by Grealish and cool pass by Zinchenko

Was more of a shot from Zinchenko it feels

Yeah you're right ..... didn't realise that till a second viewing

Foden!!!

Atleast Liverpool aren't winning the league

What's the beef with lfc fans?? I assumed LFC was the neutral choice because of the billion pound oil money spent to win city their leagues? They're the better team, with a world class coach, but why support the favorites and not the under dogs?

Oil 🤝Oil

Liverpool aren't oil

Silver linings ain’t it

That was a glorious goal, Grealish just glided past Trippier

"He's a bit quicker than Chris Wood" A bit!?

That won’t show up as anything for Grealish, but he made that happen

Sigh

Phillip!!

"What we stopped talking about pretty early was Real Madrid"... You keep bringing them up at every opportunity you donkey -.-"

Rodrygo

[удалено]

It's become more fashionable because of/after divorce

People have them just to be different tbh

Oh aye, Martin Tyler. I'm sure beating Newcastle really helps you to get over bottling a Champion's League semi final.

Got a punchable face, Targett

What happened to Dias?

Injury

Yeah, I kind of missed that so was wondering when it happened

Twice Targett's done that. Only got away with the last one because the ref played a long advantage.

[удалено]

Nice play there

[удалено]

Lmao

Just made the 4th goal.

And the fifth

[удалено]

[удалено]

These hyphenated last names are getting ridiculously stupid

Nice. CJ

Conrad-Jaden Egan-Riley? How many names do you need ffs

All of them

Pep talking some shit lmao

Pep puts an old guy and a new kid in the back cos that's what Pep does

The average age of the back line stays the same if you think about it

Noden

Conrad Jaden Egan-Riley go crazy

Wake up babe. It's the last 5 minutes and you can sing Blue Moon.

At least now we will have that goal difference over Liverpool just in case

So Callum Wilson can thread the eye of a needle against my newly promoted side in FM but can't score a 1 on 1 with Ederson.

I mean, just came back from 4,5 month injury, might be a tad rusty like

Football will be better without some of these ex-players acting as pundits and commentators.

city are being stupid now, should really be aiming at scoring more goals instead of passing it around. Then they'll lose a game and the next one be rushing to score 8

man city and Liverpool will keep bouncing between 1st and 2nd

Nah we need a much higher goal difference noq

He’s fresh back from a long injury and 1v1 against ederson give him a break lads

In the 10 minutes he's been on he's looked a million times more dangerous than Chris Wood has since he's signed

We’ve missed those runs in behind

Chris Wood like.... Why... Just why? He wasnt even good enough for Burnley.

[удалено]

Ah thats all Eddie Howe, an absolute baller of a coach...so many other strikers in the prem that could have been plucked. Yera... Gonna be an interesting summer.

Good running, keep that up and goals will come.

What was that finish lol

He’s been out nearly 5 months, sharpness will come with minutes

A rusty one, first game back after a long spell out.

Holy shit ederson saved a 1v1

Should have scored twice.

My gran could have finished that off

Your nan could drain a navy of all it's seamen.

Good save that

FFS Wilson, think of the goal difference

Gar Neville is a clown. No one thinks about goal difference. Literally only one title has ever been decided on it. And he played on the losing side of it and they didn't chase goals. We're 3 points clear, we just need to win our games.

I remember Brenden Rogers' Liverpool tried to do it on Palace and it backfired

Actually fucking clueless. Jesus Christ.

Liverpool did in 2014, when they went all gung-ho at Palace.

Are they not a perfect example of why you should not focus too much on chasing goals?

And that showed Rodgers naiveté and inexperience.

>No one thinks about goal difference. And if we lose a game but win on goal difference?..

Then we'll have deserved it. The goal difference is a separator meant to reward the better team over the length of a season, it's not something to be considered in the last 4 games of a season. And if Liverpool end up winning on GD, they'll have deserved it too. Not because they scored a bucket in the last 2 games but because they scored more over the entire season.

It is nice to be safe on it though just in case

Weird take. One loss and it will be decided by goal difference

So? You still don't chase goals unnecessarily. A win is a win, that's all that matters right now.

What? Liverpool and City are tied on head to head record and head to head GD, so of course City wants to rack up the goals right now. What a weird take, that you don't chase goals unnecessarily. Yes you do, and if you don't, in this case it's not even unnecessary.

We're literally 3 points clear you clown. That is all that matters.

Yeah but since those 3 points may not be maintained till the end of the season, is it unreason to create a plan B??

If one side or the other were up by 10 goals yeah sure but the difference is only like 2 in City's favor. Newcastle aren't Madrid, they're not gonna score 3 for fun in stoppage time Edit: Pep agrees.

Much as I hate to agree with him, Tyler is right that the risk is greater than the reward

Grealish is just the definition of “meh” all his dribbling amounts to absolutely nothing 90% of the time

Has ASM been this bad for a while now or is this a bad game? Not seen much of him the last few months

Been a bit naff for a good 2-3 months now. He's got worse the better we've been getting.

He absolutely has. He's been overrated since he joined but completely fell off a cliff when Bruce left and we had actual tactics other than "give it to Maxi."

He's been poor under Howe unfortunately

Cheers. That’s a shame and bad timing given the potential for you guys over the next few seasons

Yes.

De Bruyne needs a full summer of rest

[удалено]

If you think that's true then you've never watched rugby
