Arsenal got that decision because of the Brentford error
Indeed. When was the last time City had 39% possession in any match, in any competition, home or away. Probably a first for Guardiola.
maybe it's how City are set up but arsenal look the better side
100 times out of 100 we don't get that penalty call. We really need to get Howard Webb back on our payroll.
Will City get charged with failing to control their players like we did?
City actually getting booked for their usual antics.
Just not their night, is it?

I've always disagreed with that logic and what do you mean it's not? If you pass the ball out of defence and then get clattered it's a free.
Almost from City
They should just blow full time and give the points to Arsenal then
This City team are nowhere near level of previous seasons, Arsenal will go on and win this.
Penalty decision is just odd, they’ll be multiple instances exactly the same every week between now and end of season and nothing will be given.

It was more of a penalty than the Grealish one on Sunday that’s for sure!
Meh, McCoist is one of the better commentators
It's never given on the defenders though or am I making that up? How many times so you see a striker take a shot and get cleaned out after and no pen?
Refs getting influenced by managers moaning shows how unfit they are for the job.
At least you are consistent
Arsenal very very lucky
Yes.
Each to their own
Grealish is such a pointless player
One of the City players should've been braver and gone for the ball from the corner and let Ramsdale clatter them. Penalty.
Absolutely this! Totally unprofessional.
Every match…it’s crazy how inconsistent these guys are!!
It is yet more evidence that Ten Hag could do with fighting our corner more in regards to decisions. It clearly works when others do it and we just end up getting shafted most weeks.
On replay - Ederson held back once the ball went past him. Shouldn't be a pen.
But I'm not sure it was right to make that charge at all - angle seemed tight, there were a few defenders around, staying back on his line he probably could have saved whatever Nketiah produced.

The same as it was for Argentina vs Croatia. And whole Caf said it is a penalty (and i was labelled as bad loser
Same thing.
Explanation from refs were that gk must touch the ball to avoid penalty in these situations
That was it!
I couldn't remember when it was.
Var can't overturn it. Same way VAR would not gave a pen if ref didn't.
Not an obvious error
This City is side is just... off. Weird shape, no real tempo, players that are mostly there for show, etc.
If they end of winning the league it will be because there were no other real contenders.

The thing is if Antony Taylor hadn’t pointed to the spot I don’t think Arsenal, or anyone, would’ve batted an eyelid. Strange call.
Good match so far.
They have clearly decided they owe Arsenal a favour. No way is that pen given in any other game. That happens every weekend and its never questioned
City have been pretty poor. Never seen them play so many aimless long balls. It’s like Pep has heard people saying they don’t play the ball early enough in behind to Haaland and they’ve gone totally overboard.
Look at the replay for the offf the crossbar incident.
Ake was being fouled at every point in the play. Holding his shirt then bodychecking as he went for the rebound.
None of those are ever given, but the goalie ones aren't either.
Its consitency that is the problem.

He's great at buying free kicks but I feel like that's simply cos he hogs the ball. Never releases it as fast as he should.
Also want to add that Bernardo Silva's long passing game is not great. Every single direct ball to Haaland has been way off. Built for tiki taka that lad.
It’s shady as feck if you ask me. Nobody even appealed.
