Thanks for this, so blues take the tinted specs off and watch how that plays out. Ball in the air, defender staring at the ball and watch Agueros eyes, he isn't even watching the flight of the ball, doesn't care where it is. He sees the defenders turns to the side and puts his shoulder in his back. Knew it would put him off and ultimately did. Very clever play and I am certainly not complaining at all I just think with the media narrative being Arsenals weak performance then we all cling to that. If you are running backwards and someone turns into your back it will knock you off balance nothing to do with strength. Where he went wrong was not playing to the whistle and try and get back.

He didn't nudge him, he stood his ground - the kind of things defenders do 30 times a game.
Check the gif mate, stood his ground fucking LOL. why did he stare at him then move his body towards him?

It was smart play by Aguero and not a foul. Really don't see how anyone could say it's a foul. Mustafi should be embarassed protesting like that. And he expects to make the Germany squad for the WC?!
Found this a nice bit of reading. a good ode to the three goal scorers from Sunday. Nice bit of light reading as articles go

He does watch the ball, takes his eye off it to see where Mustafi is then eyes back on the ball after he's set himself.

Watch it from the other angle Tom, Aguero stops and let's Mustafi bump off him.
Where he went wrong was being the wrong side of Aguero so he didn't have a clue where Aguero was. He's marking him.Thanks for this, so blues take the tinted specs off and watch how that plays out.

The worst thing about that from an Arsenal point of view is that City make that move a lot, and the defender did not anticipate it.

I don't know any footballers who don't look at a player coming towards them. That is not a foul.

He does have his eyes on the ball. At the start.Thanks for this, so blues take the tinted specs off and watch how that plays out.

Then judges how to put the defender off (without fouling him).
Then goes on to score.
Football is a contact sport and a huge percentage of contacts are not fouls. This is one where that is the case.

Well that was easy.
The lack of a striker for Arsenal was there for all too see. How many times in the first 20 minutes did they hoof the ball up front only for it to go out for a corner or throw-in. Our defenfders rarely broke a sweat.
You could almost narrow down to the second the moment City clicked into their rhythm, and once we got rocking there was no way back for them.

I see we pocketed just £100000 prize money for winning on Sunday. Losers £50000 and the two losing semi finalists £25000 each. Nobody else gets a penny from the earlier rounds.
I bet Carabao are paying the Football League five times all of that to sponsor the competition.
