League Cup Final - Post Match Thread

[Rolee]

Aguero looked at the player, knew exactly what he was doing, Mustafi didn't once look at Aguero. It was a nudge, a clever nudge. You could argue if Aguero doesn't nudge him then he gets the ball. Not complaining myself just don't think it was as obvious as a non foul as people have made out.

He doesn't nudge him, he just stands his ground, the impact comes from Mustafi's motion. The idiot didn't once check where Aguero was.

Biggest pair of blue tinted specs I have ever seen. Standing your ground can also be obstruction. Aguero played zero attempt to play the ball.

If that's deemed obstruction then almost every aerial challenge would be blown up for a free. Aguero was clever, Mustafi was naive, that's all there is to it.

Every photo, every bit of video of them celebrating screams out that this is a very, very "together" squad.

It is absolutely great to see and sets us apart from most of the other top six sides.

It has been and will be a major contributing factor to our success this season.

Indeed. Actually there's something else that I thought was an interesting observation: I took a friend to the Leicester game; he likes football, but isn't really a fan of any one club, he just likes going. He's been to a fair few this year of the top six, and is quite dispassionate in his assessments.

He said that City are the quietest team he's seen. No shouting, no gesticulating - just occasional quick conversations. And that it is noticeably different to everyone else.

Quite an acute point.

Violent conduct, bringing the game into disrepute, 6 match ban.

This is correct if you watch is closely. One player is stationary and one is stepping back. Clever by Aguero but he has done nothing wrong.

Is that you Jack?

Heard this a few times, absolute bollocks haha love how we try wriggle out of stuff like this. If you don't think it is a foul then so be it everyone has a different opinion but to claim Aguero was fouled is pretty funny. One player had eyes for the ball the other didn't........

If you think that was a foul I despair ,maybe the cotton wool you are wrapped is getting in you eyes
