Manchester Utd Thread

Aguero went down easily yes, but did nothing different to what the majority of footballers would have done in the same instance, when being headbutted by a bigger man who's already on a yellow card.

It was a good result for United considering they were away and were also missing a few players. It's not the worst result for City either in fairness. They controlled the game but how many clear cut chances did they create? Pep appeared to be extremely frustrated in the post-match interview but he knows Mourinho well enough to have expected that last night surely.   In fairness to Daithi one of my United supporting mates also thought Aguero deserved a red. I've watched the incident a couple of times and I don't see it at all myself. There's a big difference between squaring up to someone and actually throwing the head in. Aguero leaned in a bit but the actual headbutt was all Fellaini. I'd imagine Mourinho chopped his b*llox off after the game.

So you call me a weirdo and childish for having the temerity to say something along the lines of "if you deal with the 2 players who square up to each other head to head with the same punishment it will cut out all this handbag stuff" but at the same time you defend the majority of player's that do this because it is the norm, right so

I'd give them both a yellow. When there's a headbutt though, that is obviously then a red card. As we saw with Nolito earlier in the season against Bournemouth when an opponent went to go head to head with him, and Fellaini last night

IMO I don't think Fellini went to head butt him.
He was looking to square up to him head to head but as he is taller he had to move his head down which looked like a head butt.
Aguero went down like a sack of spuds but thats what all continental players would do in that suituation so I don't blame him.

Fellini was sent off for being stupid.

Match overall was poor.
Man City really missed silva - they had no ideas how to break down Man U.
That was a typical Jose game against his rivals away from home - don't lose.

Agree I thought Bailly was a bit of an unsung hero last night. He did very well but a little bit careless at times passing out from the back under City pressure. 

Yeah Bailly has been a superb signing. Great first season in English football.
