Aguero banned for three games (updated)

[Marvin]

It's done so we have to deal with it.
We have plenty of options and firepower to win still.
At the end of the day we can shout its unfair all day long but Kun knows he would be taking a risk and hes been punished.
Pep will still put out an xi to win.

That will have have happened so quick it's almost reflex. It's not like he ran 10 metres and raised his foot deliberately at the keeper like Costa.

it'll be like this all season unless Pep gets us playing so well that the system can't even stop us, or another dossier finds it way into the relevant hands. The way United and co. have started out this season makes me think it's going to be like 2011/12 all over again with us battling to just keep in touch with their antics. No matter how well we've played we've never been allowed to get away in a season, even our best years have seen us just doing that to keep in touch with somebody else getting all the favours.

We will have it all sown up by the end of April.

No, City imposed their own punishment but then the FA threw the book at him with an 8 game ban. If it was a 'clear' case of violent conduct no City fan would be complaining but anyone can see it was anything but clear cut which makes the fact the FA panel had a unanimous decision astonishing. Basically Sergio is unable to protect himself when being clattered by a 6ft 4 defender. It is a complete and utter joke.

Last season we had the Spurs 'offside' when we were flying at the start of a season, now it's a ban for our main striker. Disgusting.

Get a grip mate. Your posts are completely irrational.

We have had numerous penalties this year, a blatant Kolorov foul not given as a Pen and Aguero throwing an arm which even on a City forum is dividing opinion. Its swung both ways so far so actually debate the topic rather than letting cloud your judgements.

It did look pretty bad, but as has been said many times already in this thread, you see similar incidents go unpunished quite often, so it would be nice to have more consistency. And although it's a bastard that he'll miss the United game, the slight silver lining is that the other two games will be Swansea in the League Cup, where he would probably have been rested anyway, and Bournemouth at home, who you would hope we can beat without him. If you're a glass-half-full person, you might also wonder if it'll be harder for Mourinho to organize his defence without Aguero to focus on. Kelechi is more of an unknown quantity, or Pep might go the false 9 route which might really confuse them.

Give over. He threw a fucking elbow with the intention of hurting someone. Forwards are well used to defenders clattering into them from behind but they don't throw elbows.

This thread is embarrassing. What others have done, what the media have said is all irrelevant. Aguero was bang out of order and rightly is banned. He should be copping it from all of us for making an idiotic mistake, not defended by any which way possible.

That's your interpretation. I think the fact that the ref was looking straight at the incident and saw nothing should tell you everything you need to know. If Sergio was looking to elbow the player with intent one would think he would have done a damn site better job, than brushing his wind pipe.

I can only think you have never actually played the game, Sergio was shoved in the back and was doing his best to compete for the ball, yes there was a flailing arm but Gazza was the master of using his arms to hold off players. At worst it was a booking but violent conduct!? Do me a favour.

I think Pep plans to play with no real striker anyway.

He bought a lot of wingers and no striker.

Although its not a new tactics I suspect Peps s in love with it.

If anything he can just throw in Iheanacho. He's more unpredictable than Aguero.

They'll be chuffed to bits. Little do they know. Not sure what Guardiola will do. I'd be a bit wary of their height advantage, but if Sagna, and Kompany or Kolarov come back in then we can play Kelechi. I also think Bony will do well this season - before anyone goes oh no, he'll be properly fit now for the first time at City and if Sterling and Kolarov can improve, then why not Bony?

 

[franksinatra]

And you certainly wouldn't get a definitive answer from them anyway. There are so many inconsistencies in their actions that you have to believe that they come to the answer that they want to achieve , irrespective of what the evidence shows.

I agree with that mate its the inconsistency which drives you mad. It does seem to effect the bigger clubs based on the press reporting and the likelihood the tv cameras are there. Its a joke of a system.

 

[SoldataForte]

Obviously a tough loss, but we need the ability to succeed without him to be an all around competitive team. If Pep puts together a well rounded XI, we can definitely win and have a similar season to 2011/12.

Absolutely delusional. If Aguero was wearing a red shirt this thread would be going in an entirely different direction. I think this thread is an embarrassment to Bluemoon. I don't even think RAWK would be this bad.

'Numerous' penalties! One if I recall if we're talking about the premier league and one of the more dubious ones awarded against us. There is nothing irrational in what I've posted, I'm very rational and I know corruption when I see it.
