League Cup Final - Post Match Thread

[The slaughtered lamb]

The player backed into Aguero.... watch it again in real time from the side... superb goal end of

Exactly. Imagine the roles were reversed, with Aguero backing into Mustafi and Mustafi doing what Aguero did. Foul on the striker - no chance.

He might be a good footballer but has he played at a decent level. He is either on the wind up or being a total fool.

He's played for Bluemoon, so yeah fucking top level ;-)

The referee and even VAR gave the goal, we won 3-0 and lifted the cup, end of story. Only on here could people vehemently argue against a decision that actually went OUR way lol!

Genuine question - have you ever played football at even a half decent level?

what is a half decent level?

 

[Gazza]

what is a half decent level?

Arsenal's level?

Let's say semi pro or above

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.

Some proper wrong'ens on here.

You’re watching the wrong sport if you think that was a foul.

Same as the one by Firminho on Stones a few weeks back btw. I couldn’t believe some people were calling that as a foul.

The blue tinted specs were definitely on for that one!
