Theregulars

But it doesn’t change that the odds of each flip remain 50/50. It is certainly unlikely to have 12 of the same outcome in a row, but it’s still just a series of 50/50 chances. It’s also a weak comparison statistically because there are other multiple balls at play, actually making the odds even greater, which at the same time undermines my argument totally so I’ll stop typing

That’s misleading. It’s 50/50 each time (in theory) - the preceding draws don’t factor into the actual probability.

Except Murphy

Good to avoid Liverpool and arsenal, and they haven’t started the season very impressively, but still an absolute cunt’s trick of a draw yet again.

I’m not normally drawn to conspiracy but to have these starts in the PL, CL and CC at the same time is stretching credibility.

He really could have

What a magnificent team performance that second half was. Bravo.

I think people have just said he hasn’t been playing very well, which he hasn’t apart from villa and half 2 here

Livramento is one of the best standing tacklers I’ve ever seen.

That beef tackle from dummett is one of history’s greatest moments

Genuinely don’t get the hatred for Goodman. He’s fine and is also a really nice person.

Foden is such a vile cheat

Brilliant pass by Tonali there.

That should be a red card.

Yeh I’d agree - I didn’t think he was the worst player for us in the first half but he didn’t do his cause any favours.

Wish we’d kept Botman on the bench to bring on when haaland comes on

@Rodwill you add that the few things Murphy has done well for us pls?

I agree with your sentiment but I don’t think stating that he’s playing poorly is the same as a write-off. He doesn’t yet look like he belongs - he’s the big name signing so scrutiny inevitable. It doesn’t help that I think his natural body language is languid.

I was at the Chelsea match and the match in phila where he played, and now this. Based on that sample - which you are right to point out is too small to reach a meaningful conclusion - I don’t yet see a player that I rate.

To me Tonali looks positionally erratic. Just kind of wanders around playing short passes without sticking to one area of the field.

Got to have a squad and players who are happy to not start while carrying out instructions properly. He’s been a good squad player under Howe. Limited player but I can’t see how anyone would conclude that under Howe he’s been anything other than a net positive.

I haven’t written him off, just said I don’t see what some members see in him. The players Man City have out tonight are not best team in the world. Miley’s first touch looks poor and he’s losing his marker frequently. Perfectly reasonable to judge the performance.

Livramento looks really promising at least

What game would you judge him on? He’s had 2 competitive.

This is Bruce-like; long punting and not trying offensively. At least have a go.
