Aguero/Fernandinho suspensions

[IcriedwhenTueartleft]

Ironic, isn't it...we finally get a fit Kun who hasn't missed a game this season through injury and the chump gets himself banned twice, missing more games than he usually does

Every week I read a match report or an opinion that a Chelsea player was lucky to stay on the pitch (Luiz against the Rags springs to mind, and at least two occasions for Costa).

Chelsea play on the edge, spoiling, time wasting, and constantly niggling their opponents.There were 4 occasions yesterday when the game was stopped for a mysterious injury, nowhere near the ball, only for the poleaxed player to somehow make a Lazarus-style recovery once the City momentum had slowed.

Leicester were equally clever last season, and there’s obviously an Italian influence.


In contrast City suffer red cards for headbutting when we’re winning 4-0. In fact, regardless of one of the worst refereeing performances that I’ve ever witnessed, we’re rapidly acquiring a reputation as petulant soft arses.

Absolutely spot on - these were the type of tactics initiated under Jose, and taken up a level by Conte, but I agree that we are just naiive in not adopting the " dark arts " when they are needed to slow down or break up play.

In saying that, the Taylor would have probably booked our players for " simulation ".

Would you play Aguero v Celtic as he likely to be out for at least 4 games
Fernandiniho already banned for that

Yes before he goes on his holidays.

Otamendi banned for Leicester as well.

Guess we'll have to line up like this.

Bravo

Sagna Stones Kolarov Clichy

Gundogan Fernando

Sterling KDB Silva

Iheanacho

Still a strong side that's more than capable of picking up points.

Would not be surprised if we appeal Dinos sending off. Two factors, slap of the face albeit soft and the Chelsea player only getting a booking for a shove

Will never happen. The best that can be hoped for is a red card extension for Fabregas for the slap.

Waiting for Sky to ramp up the pressure on the premier league for Aguero's "worst foul ever seen" one of the lower league players got ten games recently for excessive violence , the bandwagon will start tomorrow on Sunday Supplement and the red tops will be in full swing , maybe a public hanging will suffice

"worst foul ever seen" until Rojo's just now, course he only got a yellow and no retrospective action as ref 'saw' it and chose to give yellow.
