    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.

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

    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.

    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.

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

    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.

    What in the fcuk are you talking about? Is this what you resort to, the most reaching insult possible after a Manchester Derby?

    Couldn't have thought something up to made yourself look any more childish than you just have.

    Even if Felanai stayed on it was heading for a nil nil, it had very little effect on the game.

    Saying that it's one of the clearest red cards all season. There's a few of these sending off every season.

    Stirring what? Fellaini 100% deserved his red card. Aguero going down so easily is something Fellaini needs to expect if he throws the head in so simply don't throw the head in. You should direct your anger at Fellaini for being an idiot and letting your and his own team down.

    He puts Aguero to shame. There's an energy in his game and a buzz around him that Aguero just doesn't have. He'll be a superstar and he'll be City's main man.

    Nonsense. Against Liverpool home, Chelsea home, Arsenal home, Spurs home we played better game.

    Yeah, I mean the second paragraph. Most of your posts are just rubbish.


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


    Have to agree with Neville there, I know he hasn't had a great season but United missed Pogba today to get them up the pitch a bit more often.

    I dislike Liverpool even more than United. Come from a family of united fans who beat it into to hate Liverpool despite a love of Michael Owen. But this is embarrassing

    Honestly...im probably emotional and I have a few beers on me so I'm going to head off and come back tomorrow with a clear head.

    Would have taken that result at the start of the night.

    YOU'RE a true clown..hes played 4 games for City. AGUERO is a proven world class player at both club and international level and time and time has proven to be one of if not the most if not the most clinical finisher in world football.

    His ability to make space is something that very few have. Ala what he did tonight on the edge.

    It was a good result for United,, especially considering how many players were missing.

    Good result for city and United in the fight for top 4 all considered


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,952 ✭✭✭Morzadec


    I don't think it was a red upon replay. But so so hard for the ref to tell.

    Incredibly dumb for fellaini to put the ref in the position of having to make that call.

    Dumb from Fellaini, ratty from Aguero, not a red imo but can't really blame the ref.

    Immaterial anyway, the bus held with 10 in it

    By the end of next season one of those two players will be leading the Man City line. I know who I think it will be. Please do get back to me at that time.

    Hypothetically, what if Fellaini decides to fall down the same time as Aguero, whats the ref gonna do then? Aguero is clearly the aggressor in the situation and both them falling wouldn't make Fellaini's headbutt look half as obvious
