Returning to twitter after a couple of years away looking for #MCFC connections old and new.

@Londonblue_2 Knuckle dragging morons

Marc Guehi getting racially abused for his error ffs. What is wrong with some people. 😡

@mcscotty808 Entitled brats. Probably never even been near Manchester

Got told last night off some so called City fan who has been supporting the club 5 minutes that a domestic cup double would be a failure of a season what the actual fuck and these are the fans the club want to attract

To come back from 3-1 in the last few minutes showed the character of this team.

@Davidvemps Or lose

@dakeb_mcfc You reckon they draw west ham?

As it stands whatever arsenal do we will go into the last day with a chance and that's more than I gave us three months ago

@nuthatch123 @MarcGuehi13 Not your club

@MarcGuehi13 Keep going Marc lad. Chin up we go again. Sublime footballer

I need to do better, but we keep going & focused on the next. Thank you for your support as always! 🩵 Thank you Jesus!

@MCFCPudin @MarcGuehi13 And we let in three not one

@MarcGuehi13 i’m not gonna judge it but u should’ve clear the ball it is what it is we move to next game

@Nicodeczy @MarcGuehi13 At least we get to know who to block on here.

@MarcGuehi13 Just run comot from this club if we no later win this league. I go find you come England

@MarcGuehi13 You were only responsible for one mistake, one goal, not all three. Keep your mind on the good stuff you do. You are not defined by one mistake.

@propsMCFC He miskicked it as he noticed Barry on his left so it's a mistake. He was in control of the ball.

now that we are all calm. are you genuinely convinced this was an honest mistake? 🤔🤔

@mcfcman66 Arsenal needed a favour from Everton and got it. We can get a favour from West ham or palace. Probably not Burnley.

Lads really seemed pissed off at the end with the look on their faces, only themselves to blame though… If you need a favour from West Ham to win the league then you probably haven’t done enough in the season….. And it isn’t going to happen

@mfc_mrpage I blame him for the mistake but not for conceding three goals

Anyone blaming Marc Guehi for that error is missing the point. He had no clear passing option, the midfield was completely disorganized. Nico Gonzalez was nowhere to be found. As the number 6, he should be collecting loose balls, providing an outlet from defence, and controlling the tempo, but he failed to do all of that. He was practically a spectator in the game.

@Vfynn_ The goal was correctly given. The red card should have been given

🚨🎙️| Micah Richards on why Barry’s goal against Manchester City should have been ruled out for offside under IFAB Law 11, points out a missed sending-off for a challenge on Doku: 🗣️ “I’m trying to stay calm here but I genuinely can’t understand how Manchester City have come out of this game empty-handed, because for me, this is two massive decisions, both wrong, and both going the same way. Let’s start with the goal. People keep saying it’s ‘tight’ or ‘subjective’ no, it’s not. Under the IFAB Law 11, if you’re in an offside position and you’re interfering with an opponent, that includes impacting a defender’s ability to play the ball or gaining an advantage from a deflection or phase of play. That’s in black and white. Barry is in that position, the defenders are reacting to him, there’s hesitation, there’s chaos and he benefits from it. That’s interfering. I don’t care if he doesn’t touch it first, he’s influencing the situation. That goal should not stand for Everton. Simple as that. Now the second one… this is the one that really gets me. Michael Keane on Jérémy Doku, how on earth is that not a red card? Honestly, explain it to me. Because when I look at it, I see a player going in late, with force, and he’s not in control. That’s serious foul play all day. The law says if you endanger the safety of an opponent with excessive force, it’s a sending-off. There’s no grey area there. Doku’s planted, Keane comes through him, that’s dangerous. We’ve seen those given all season. And this is where the frustration comes in, VAR is there to correct ‘clear and obvious’ errors. So if they’re not intervening for that, then what’s the point? What are we actually doing? Because now you’ve got a situation where: a goal that, by the law, should be ruled out… stands a red card offence… gets waved away And people will say ‘it evens out over the season’, no it doesn’t! Not at this level, not in a title race. You’ve got Michael Oliver on the pitch, VAR in his ear, and between them they’ve still got both calls wrong. That’s not pressure, that’s poor officiating. I’m telling you now, if that’s the standard, then we’re going to be having this same conversation every single week. And Professional Game Match Officials Limited have got to answer it, because right now, it just looks like inconsistency at the highest level.”

@KippaxKids I can see them losing at West ham

BREAKING: From the glass half full office at Kippax Kids towers. If City win all their remaining games and Arsenal lose just one City win the league by one point. If City win all their games and Arsenal draw just one, the title is decided on goal difference. Do you see 9 points here? I don't.

@Liamsz007 You can't blame Guehi alone for us drawing we conceded three goals not just his one mistake

When he comes back, Guehi will never see a start again

@thegingerwig First half in the TV it sounded like a library

Annoying result but for those that went what was the stadium like?

@Peterthesnake @thegingerwig Being offside isn't an offence a lot of people don't get that. It was an unusual situation. If the ball had deflected off Guehi he'd be offside. But Guehi on control of the ball passed it to him so he's onside.

@thegingerwig He was offside, did the lines person put a flag up? was the game stopped? He was back on side when the ball was softly passed back to the keeper.

The current interpretation of the Offside rule is ridiculous It was brought in to stop goal hanging If Guehi doesn't touch the ball he's offside.

@thegingerwig It was careless from Guehi. The ref applied the law correctly this time.

@City_Chief Haaland put a great shift in too

Only two players showed up today: Doku and Cherki. Everyone else… nowhere near it. Midfield looked completely lost without Rodri! And the defence? Shocking. Cost us the game.

@BlessingGives Blocking you for that

🚨🎙️ Jeremy Doku on Marc guehi error that led to Everton second goal; “It’s a tough one, because at this level, in a moment like that, you can’t afford those mistakes. We work so hard as a team to create, to push, and to maintain that control that Manchester City is known for. But when you give away a goal like that to Everton. Listen, Marc is a good player, we all know why he was brought here. But there is a massive difference between playing for a club where a draw is a 'good result' and playing for Manchester City where a draw is a disaster. tonight, we saw that he’s not used to this level of pressure yet. We win as a team and we lose as a team, but we also have to be honest about where we failed. He has to look in the mirror. He has to decide if he’s a City player or if he’s still a 'mid-table' defender in his head. Because if we lose this title by two points, we all know exactly which moment we’re going to look back on. I’ll support him, but he needs to realize almost isn't good enough at city.
