I had forgotten that one in the list of pens we never got vs City. But atleast 9.5/10 times these are given. I've seen it so many times before.

Gordon was first to the ball. Maybe he kicks it past the goalie to get a pen, but that doesn't matter. That allways gets given. Show me an example of that not being given? If you think that shouldn't be a pen, then you have a problem with the rules, not the decision.

Red card! No consistency!

"Eddie Howe is a manager for many years, a lot of times, and never creates a problem in press conferences" My favourite quote.

And then he went on to claim that he was the one who recommended Howe to the new owners. Absolutely shameless..

Maybe we made them look bad, but they looked like a different team without Rodri today. Their next few games will be telling.

Noone has had the points added, but Saka has 39 bonus score, which is the most alongside Martinelli. It might get corrected tomorrow or monday, sometimes it happens later.

Noticed that myself. Might get changed still.

Would be fun if there were 4 teams in it for the title. Pretty unlikely though.

So the only team with a CS this gameweek is Fulham. After I owned 2 of their defenders for 5 gameweeks letting in 1 per game. Including a 90+5 goal vs West Ham. It was nailed to happen when I took them out, wasn't it?

Sideways move.

How did that happen.. Might get changed later though.

Oh, and I got tired of Leno and Robinson after 4 rounds of playing both with no clean sheet. Dropped both, so I fully expect it to happen today. I'm already trying to cope.

Palmer man.. Can't bring him in, but I know he will keep punishing me. Went for Jackson, who has 4 pts from those 4 goals.. And Saka won't get more than 6, as usual.

They've taken 2 pts vs Ipswich and Forest at home in the last 2 before this one. They are not that great atm.

Against City I never expect anything from the refs or VAR. When Joelinton went down without the refs intervention, I just knew it wouldn't be given, just because it's Man City. Against a bottom half side I would have hope, and no doubt they would spend atleast a minute looking at it. And I agree, I was really surprise when we were given the first pen.

He certainly isn't on Howes list of players who can drop 10 stinkers in a row and still get picked. But playing Trippier over him looked okay today I'd say.

They said that we were lucky to get the 1st one, and pretty much said that it wasn't a pen. I never thought anyone would even discuss that one.

Livra has stalled a bit I feel.. Hope he will get back to business.

Many picked him above options like Smith Rowe. There's a reason as to why most of them has transferred him out already, he didn't live up to expectations. You only need to read this thread a few pages back to see the hype before the season, and after 1-2 games. Edit: not a high overall %, but amongst more serious players I thought he was overly picked.

I agree with them that Gordon knows what he's doing when he plays it past the goalkeeper, but that doesn't change the rules. They later started talking about consistency in refereeing. Not giving that pen would me the most inconsistent thing you would ever see. He got to the ball first, meaning Ederson was late.

I was thinking this aswell, but a bunch of people put him in their FPL team and expected him to be killing it, so there was clearly high expectations.

Watching Shearer and Given. Shearer said that Gordon initiates the contact. Gordon was just running at full speed.. Even said that there was not enough of a touch? Show me a situation where that is not given..

The studio thinks we shouldn't have had a pen? This nearly allways gets given.
