    NO WAY that was a sending off. But fellani was so stupid to fall for it. And it's a shame because he was EXCELLENT all night


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,625 ✭✭✭✭Johner


    I can't believe some people think it wasn't a sending off. Clear headbutt even if Aguero did make the most of it.

    There is no way that was a sending off. If anyone should have been booked its Aguero

    Laughable opinions here. It was a headbutt all day long and all the talk of Aguero being "nasty"............... we are talking about mr elbows here

    You seem to forget all them offside goals utd got. The reason utd are out of the top 4 is because they are so ****e taking chances not because of any ref.

    Oh i know there ****e, can't remember the offside goals that we got can remember some disallowed one's which would have got us 3 point's. If we where good we'd be challenging for the league not the top 4. But city are supposedly great but can't beat us.

    It was a clear red card. He moved his head in a forward motion. Fair enough Aguero went down really easily, but it was brain dead stuff from Fellaini. He completely lost his head.

    He moved down to Aguero to square up to him. Aguero felt contact and dived. Simple. Aguero was also the aggressor looking for Fellani after the foul

    Ageuro puts his head in 2 to meet fellainis (who is also putting his head in) feels contact and goes down. People can call it clever but it's just cheating

    The red card will be rescinded..

    The red is largely meaningless in the context of the game, which is the funny part.

    The result ended up the exact same as it would have if Fellaini had stayed on.

    Well that wasn't great. Credit to Man City, that was their best defensive performance of the season, they were tremendously well-drilled in the transition and dealt immensely well in the 1 vs 1's. The downside is that Toure/Fernandinho axis is so slow and basic on the ball for a midfield duo of a side that want the ball and want to attack. Aguero, again, missed too many chances and that's the difference tonight between 1 point and 3, and too often this season it has been the difference for City.

    For Man Utd, they got a point, they'll be happy. They had a chance off a set piece for Herrera and the Fellaini sending off was a welcome for Mourinho to shut up shop completely. I mean this in the least provocative way possible because I would love to know from real Man Utd fans, do you enjoy Mourinho's approach to football and is it what you want at your club? Maybe I'm just a bit naive but, for me, I couldn't ever imagine Barcelona accepting a performance like that once, let alone often. Is your joy of football derived solely from winning games (and it's not as though he's having an incredibly successful season either) or should you take pleasure from seeing your team attack and try to play? I do find it incredible that a club with Man Utd's history of success and attacking football has so willingly accepted Mourinho.

    It won't hurt to play pragmatic game time to time, it's not like we play like thise every game.

    Not that I'm expecting any posts from you that makes any sense, just saying as it is.

    Honestly can't see how anyone could argue that Felaini shouldn't have been sent off.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,134 ✭✭✭✭niallo27


    This is hilarious reading this.

    Some of the meltdowns in here are gas. I really fail to see how anyone can argue that the red card was unjustified.

    Yea I'd imagine so and hope so. I hate the way he's painted as the villan. It was his first foul all night he was nothing short of excellent.

    2 mins earlier We Bruyne brought down Miki on the break and nothing....

    Making your point isn't having a meltdown.

    But yeah keep OK stirring.

    But this is the approach against pretty much every high level team Man Utd have played this season and, if you go by his previous tenures, will continue to be.

    I did like the mandatory dig in the 2nd paragraph, remind me not to talk to you like a person again...

    Hindsight is a great thing. The red card as it so often does can define a game. Nani 're Madrid springs to mind.

    There is not a hope in hell it will be rescinded, I doubt United will even appeal it.

    Here is my honest thoughts on it.
    Fellani was stupid, followed up with another questionable foul straight after but he got suckered into Augeros sneakiness.
    It was a red because he gave the ref a decision to make and shouldn't have swung the head. But expect Augero to act the maggot and exaggerate

    He might not laugh but I will surely laugh at your misinformed nonsense.

    It's a pretty safe bet that Fellaini would merit at least 3 cards in any given season.

    How many liverpool fan's are in here regretting selling benteke much? Plus Klopp the flop, better in ads then management.

    2-0 Chelsea says other wise.

    high five

    You need to know what meltdown means, few fans saying that wasn't a red card and putting their points forward isn't meltdown.

    As a neutral united were down to bare bones and it was classic Jose. Horrible to watch and not the united I grew up seeing but needs must for Jose.

    Shame Jesus wasn't fit to play more as they could have done with him.
