The reaction to a massive Manchester City win at Anfield is amusing in itself for a variety of reasons Manchester City left Anfield with all three points today after beating Liverpool 3-0. Second-half goals from Erling Haaland, Jeremy Doku, and Rayan Cherki sealed City’s win. Enzo Maresca’s side put the outside noise aside to power past Liverpool, who were reduced to ten men when Ryan Gravenberch picked up his second yellow card and was sent off in the 62nd minute. Following Manchester City’s win, there has been a sizable reaction to events at Anfield. Apparently, the Premier League has been reduced to a farce while City appeal the 115 verdict. In some sections, it is expected that the ongoing process should have steps skipped to placate the masses. That is amusing in itself for a variety of reasons. Some of the reaction to a big Manchester City win has been entertaining to watch play out. Enzo Maresca’s did what they had to do at Anfield today. They swept Liverpool aside to leave Anfield with all three points. Manchester City sits top of the Premier League with six wins from six matches. Following City’s win, some of the online reaction has been entertaining to watch unfold. Below is a snippet of it. The legal process around the ‘115 case’ needs to play out, not be compromised for ‘integrity’ although it may already have been compromised. Manchester City have lodged an appeal against the Premier League Commission’s findings over the charges brought against the club fro breaching the Premier League’s financial rules. This appeal has to play out before any sanction is handed out, or if Manchester City clear their name and the case against them is reduced to rubble. City have long declared that they have irrefutable evidence to support their case against the Premier League Commission’s ‘opinion’. Also, City have had their name cleared by the Court of Arbitration for Sport when UEFA found City guilty of breaking their financial rules. The 115 story has a long way to run yet. But what is expected now that City beat Liverpool today? That the legal process has skipped steps, or sanctions handed out that could then be overturned and open up the possibility of sizable legal action for damages occurring if Manchester City win their appeal? What can of worms would that open up? It would be a bigger mess than the one that exists now. Although, the current Premier League process does have its flaws. The fact that the guilty verdict against Manchester City was leaked is one. Another, as reported by The Telegraph , is that Manchester United, Arsenal, Tottenham and Liverpool learned of the guilty verdict before the other 15 Premier League clubs. So there are issues with the ongoing process surrounding the 115 case. However, skipping steps, or bypassing the appeal process will serve no good whatsoever. Final thoughts. If Manchester City had lost today against Liverpool at Anfield, it would likely have been considered a ‘win’ for English football. That is not what occurred. Instead, Enzo Maresca’s side dispatched Liverpool and the travelling City fans lapped up every moment of Manchester City’s powerful win. Those scenes have sparked an entertaining reaction to what transpired at Anfield. Manchester City have the right to appeal the Premier League Commission’s ‘opinion’. That appeal has to play out in the proper fashion. The majority may not like it, but that is the system that is in place. Football fans cannot celebrate the ‘win’ of City being found guilty, while now wanting ‘justice’ for the ‘good of the Premier League’ with the ongoing process being altered. That would serve no one any good as unpopular as that is. There is a world that exists where City win their appeal. So for now, people can be ‘outraged’, but the process has to play out in the proper manner. It is as simple as that.
