Not sure what kind of springs Souness thinks Aguero has on his feet if he thinks he can jump over the keeper's challenge, given the way his body is contorted in order to change direction. Particularly odd opinion given that Souness was a top player and should understand such things.

Keeper touched the ball so not a penalty. Wasn't a dive either.

Ardent

Watching it again, still think it's a peno. Game changer, Pep will be furious.

Mushy

I'll be corrected on the offside anyway, makes it an even better goal!

CalamariFritti

Aguero was happy to go over the keepers legs but has to be a peno imo

Just to clear it up once and for all since some here are adamant the goal should've been ruled out, proof that Sterling was onside:

The camera angle is deceiving because it's not a straight on view from the side, the ball is pretty much dead level with Sterling when it's played if not a bit ahead of him, so it's a fair goal.

The ball ends up very close to the line though when Sterling puts it in so the ball is played forward. Is that not offside?

Tv3 showed it was clearly onside. Good call. Why can't broadcastersee draw lines parallel to the pitch so the viewer isn't deceived by parallax.

I understand and agree wholly with the idea of playing out the ball from the back but you gotta have the players to do it. With City the risk reward ratio is still too high imo. Another goal in this for Monaco. City playing into their hands somewhat.

No because he's behind the ball when it's played.

I think they've gotten far better at playing out from the back and almost all of their big attacks have come from that. Personally I would have gone with Bravo tonight, but either way a new keeper is needed in the summer because that mistake (and Lahoz's) has turned the game.

Alexei Lalas is an odd duck.

BT sports drew the parallel line at half time, he was onside by a yard. Lineker, Gerrard, Ferdinand and Dunne all thought it was a blatant penalty.

By the way I'm talking too much about Man City. Monaco have been absolutely excellent, Jardim has done a tremendous job at that club and has promoted from within.

I'm not a Man City fan. That was a penalty, take off whatever coloured specs you're wearing. A ridiculous decision.

Monaco are as serious outfit, could be dark horses this season. That has nothing to do with the referee's error in not awarding a penalty to Man City.

I just switched on and saw the slow-mo replay on TV3. Keeper touches the ball and you can see it because the ball spins differently after the touch and Augero looked to move his right leg to the keepers thigh.

No peno but at full speed a very hard one to call.

It's the same scenario, doesn't matter if it's played forward as long as he's level or behind the ball when it's played.

Only joshing, city in trouble though, a chasm in midfield and 2 Argentinean headless chickens at the back.

We can't defend, simple as that. Otamendi is a liability. It just shows what a huge miss Vinnie is; pity he's made of glass. Stones has the potential to be a very good defender (not £50m good, but hey ho), but he needs to be playing alongside decent players. Even Kolarov would have been preferable to Otamendi; he hasn't been that bad at CB this season. Just keep him away from FB!

No it doesn't.
