That's not the point. Your statement of him putting Aguero to shame in a 3 minute cameo where he scored an offside goal and got a yellow card is typical of your knee-jerk posts.

AGUERO was up there with Citys best tonight

Nobody's stirring anything, someone having a different opinion to you doesn't mean they're trying to upset you.

People stating that some people are having meltdown's in here has got what to do with a differing opinion. It was't aimed at me cos i didn't say much before this.

Did feillaini deserve to get sent off, yes for falling for aguero tempting him into butting heads. Did he do anything dangerous as such, no.

He got played and he is a liability did like him at everton and wasn't happy when we signed him. He has limited use and its hopefully his last season.

Pogba would have driven United forward, he was a massive loss.

Prior to that incident he has been excellent all night and was my MOTM along with Anders

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.

What do you mean?

Keeping clean sheets in 3 games against two of the most potently attacking teams in the league?

What about the performance against Chelsea, where we dominated the league leaders from start to finish?

That's pretty acceptable to me.

Add to that one trophy won, in the semi of another cup final and still in the hunt for the top 4.

I'm sure most supporters of the various teams across the world would be happy enough with that for a managers first season.

Missed chance after chance. Made bad decision after bad decision. He was involved a lot. Doesn't mean he was good.

Korat

It would easier to accept Fellaini getting a red card if Aguero was sent off for instigating the contact or at least booked for it. And Fernandinho didn't even get booked for punching Darmian or Herrara.

Utd have just had to get used to playing against 11 plus the ref all season.

Bailey was by far your best player tonight. That's the best I've seen him play for United. Looks like you've gotten a very good player there!!

ceegee

Having watched the replay a few times, its definitely not a headbutt by Fellaini. He moves his head down prior to contact but his head is stationary when Aguero moves forward and they clash. Stupid of Fellaini to put himself in a position for Aguero to simulate the headbutt.

I've just never been much of a fan, we need to find a keane type figure and can't see where we will get one, at least when he got sent off the other player went off injured.

niallo27

In fairness to Utd that was some bench they had tonight for a team in injury crisis.

Optimalprimerib

Should aguero not be taken off to check for concussion? It looked like a bad head injury from his reaction.

When did that happen? At the headbutt incident?

Decuc500

Clear to me that Aguero and Fellani made the same motion. After that it's who can sell the contact best to the ref. That was Aguero.

5starpool

Aguero clearly played for it and sold it to the ref, but it was still a clear red anyhow. Aguero walked up to Fellaini,who out his head down to Aguero. I have no idea how some people say it wasn't a red. If it was Toure on Herrera there would be a very different reaction.

I presume he is talking about a trailing arm in an earlier incident which was a pure accident and nobody appealed for anything even Jose who it was in front of.

Yea forget about all the offside goals you have gotten and legit goals from other teams ruled out one even won you a cup.

This sort of stuff has shown you up to be a complete sh*t talker in the past (as if it wasn't already widely known). I'll be getting back to you at the end of this season regarding another blatantly incorrect prediction.

Fellaini moved his head down towards Aguero but they were still apart. The contact only happened because Aguero moves forward into Fellaini's already lowered head and throws himself to the ground. Aguero was more responsible for the clash of heads than Fellaini

Aguero stepped in to make contact, Fellainis head wasnt moving at the time.
Do you honestly think Aguero looked like someone who'd been actually headbutted?

I'd hate to bring the thread off topic. You'll know in a few weeks anyway.

Liam O

I think there was a post earlier saying why wasn't Aguero taken off and concussion checks done if he was headbutted?

Would have made sense if that's how it went down like people are saying...

Korat

There's no point Utd appealing but Aguero deserved a red card and should be banned too. I'd argue his offence was worse because went looking for it, he moved his head towards Fellaini and then exagerrated the contact. Fellani gets a lot of stick for his elbows but Aguero has done much worse and very deliberately. The one on Winston Reid was shocking. A cheat and a thug.

Yes Aguero was worse than Fellaini in that incident. Spot on there with that analysis.

He was certainly no better. It only looks worse for Fellaini because he's taller.

theoneeyedman

Lols here saying Fellini shouldn't have been sent off, will ye cop on lads. For years, this lad has been shoving, elbowing, leaving his foot in, etc, in the most cowardly of fashion. He then generally turns around and shrugs at the ref to say 'sorry,' a day gets away because he looks awkward and gets the benefit of the doubt. He's a nasty piece of work IMHO, got a yellow, was probably getting another one, and stuck his head on Aguero who is about a foot smaller than him. Aguero made the most of it but anything other than admitting Feliani stuck the head on him is fake news in the extreme.

UrbanFret

The whole utd team should have been sent off for crimes against football. A disgrace to the game. then sky making out it was some kind of masterclass from maureen. Managers have been parking the bus since time began, you'd think he had reinvented the wheel.

jacool

Fellaini fouled Aguero to stop a clear City attack on the left. He got a yellow for a professional foul, irrespective of it being his first foul or whatever. City take the free quickly and again Fellaini fouls Aguero, but this one isn't a booking. Aguero is angry and confrontational, and faces up to Fellaini, who then leans in, and head butts him, taking the bait offered by Aguero. You can definitely say Aguero was cute, but Fellaini didn't have to react. Every angle of the footage shows Fellaini as the aggressor, which is why none of the United squad questioned the decision.

Utopia Parkway

Was a clear red card. If Fellani was on my team I'd be saving my anger for him rather than Aguero or the ref. Literally booked 10 seconds earlier he decides to stick the nut on an opponent. Yes Aguero played it up but you just can't do that. Left the ref with no other option.

Andersonisgod

Anyway aside from Man Utd Boards Andersonisgod themed "whose line is it anyway" my final thoughts on Mourinho's magic was that the only magic I can see is that he's made a portion of the population forget this his team made 7(!) Passes in the final third in the 2nd half, and he's created an optical illusion in which it looks like Fellaini doesn't headbut Aguero and it isn't one of the most obvious straight red cards you'll see all season. Magical.

It looked worse because of the height difference. Deserved red? Probably. Both as bad as the other? Probably. It's not as cut and dry as everyone is making it out. Fellaini had his head down before there was any contact made. Aguero seen that and played him. Silly of Fellaini to put himself in that position but he was clearly wound up and Aguero used that to his advantage.

In real life, that's not a headbutt. If that happens on the street, you're not going to go down rolling on the pavement clutching your face. But on the football pitch, players are going to go down at any chance they get.

Fellaini fouled Aguero, i doubt he'd have been booked for it. Aguero knows Fellaini has just been booked and he knows what Fellaini is like so he mouthed off to him to wind him up and Fellaini threw the head in. He was an idiot. It's absolutely a red card.

I honestly don't know why Man U fans aren't raging at Fellaini tbh. Not that it changed the game i suppose. But it was still a stupid thing to do.

He was stupid it's been said time and time again.
And anyway who gives a ****, games over point is gained
IMO we missed Pogba today regardless of what people​ may think
On to the next game, Pool under huge pressure Monday imo
Go on Watford

Watching that game tonight and comparing it to the Clasico last weekend was like watching 2 different sports.

How much longer can Sky continue to sell this as some sort of super league?

Both teams looked clueless tonight, yet are managed supposedly by 2 football geniuses. Geniuses who will demand a couple of hundred million each to spend this summer to try to keep the hype around their image intact.

He did some magic on your Chelsea team last week.
