Sergio Aguero - 2016/17 performances

[Lancet Fluke]

Wasn't there talk of him retiring from International football? Maybe this is a 'gentleman's agreement' that he won't play meaningless friendlies?

Aren't the matches next week World Cup qualifiers?

 

[Exeter Blue I am here]

There's no denying Aguero has some edge to his game and there was no good intent involved but his elbow didn't touch Reid's head. Whether Sergio's intent was evil or a case of petulance, frustration or whether Sergio thought or just reacted or pulled his punch etc is, IMO, open to question.

Luckily for us Sky have already decided that he's guilty, so we don't have to worry about it any further!

He limped off.

He always seems to limp off imo.

 

[Helmet Cole]

I see the BBC are saying he's 'injured'. The pointed use of the inverted commas jumps out at me as one of their rag journo's getting twitchy about him possibly being fit, well rested, and not banned for the derby.
I hope we fucking stuff the cunts seven nil and pep brings aguero on in goal for the last ten minutes just to laugh at the twats and give them a chance of scoring.
Maybe I'm just being paranoid and touchy?

 

[Calvados]

I'm almost sure that this one will slip by.
He used his side arm rather than an elbow, also he did apologize to reid after the match.

He limped off.

Just watched tunnel cam and he walks down the tunnel and swaps shirts at the end looks ok. Certainly no ice pack or signs of any treatment.

He always looks stiff when he's walking down the tunnel at FT, even when he's 100%.

I'm never going to defend someone who deliberately uses their elbows for whatever reason. But what may save him to some degree is that his elbow didn't touch Reid's head as you say, even though he went down clutching his face. Fernandinho got a yellow for a worse elbow on Costa as did Fellaini for a totally blatant one on Zabaleta. So even if the ref says he didn't see it he could still ay "..but if I had, I'd have only given a yellow card". In which case there would be no ban.

Not sure if this has been answered already but if the referee says he seen the "incident" but deemed it accidental,or that no action was needed is that end of story? If he says he never seen it he need glasses as he was looking straight at it
