Pfft. Aguero ran into him and went down like a sack of st.

50:50 at best

You are seriously deluded if you believe that, even the ref was ready to blow until he bottled it, next you'll be telling us that Fabregas was shoved over the advertising hoardings.

Not one of Kun's better days, but it could have been worse....

Ironically, it was Luiz's left knee that was sporting an ice pack in the post match interview , not the one attacked by Aguero's boot.

I guess that it as because his left foot was his standing foot and the knee twisted as he fell. If he had been standing on his right foot, it could have been a lot worse.

You're not serious.

just pointing out that Luiz should have had a red card in the first half, therefore if the ref had done his job half way decently Luiz would have been off, it was obvious to everyone in the ground that Luiz shoulder charged Aguero over, not conclusive, you're having a laugh.

There was contact, but Aguero made a meal of it.

Not even sure there was enough in it for a free kick. Listening to R5 phone in on the way home from Etihad last night, one of the presenters thought it wasn't a free kick, the other thought it was. So not conclusive by any stretch of the imagination.

Completely agree on both points.

Anyone who pretends otherwise is simply seeking to be outraged or completely blinkered (but it gets them attention I suppose).

Aguero's violent conduct (again) = someone else's fault.

Ooookay..

If that is a reply to my post then read it again, either way don't be daft, nobody has said that.

If you were at the game yesterday you would have noticed that Luiz and his fellow team mates used cheating and spoiling tactics throughout, not all of them followed by the cameras.

The Aguero incident was unacceptable but Luiz reacted in the same vein that he had spent the rest of the game.

If Aguero has history then so does Luiz

bks, I probably had pretty much the same view as you from the south stand and it was a clear shoulder charge to knock him over, the ref had the whistle in his mouth then waved play on, if that wasn't foul how did Otamendi deserve a yellow, Chris Sutton on MOTD said clear cut red. as have other former pros.

So what kind of bans are we looking at for Aguero & Fernandinho ?

I thought what that number 29 for Chelsea was as bad.

4 matches for Augero, 3 for the others?

Not so sure, i think they may well throw the book at Fernandinho , Dembele got six games for stroking Costa's face last season & hitting an oppo in the throat twice has to be just as bad.

Yep, I was in the South Stand second tier and concur. The weak ref bottled it.

Hopefully the same that Puncheon got for his off the ball antics.

[grumpy52]

The Man City manager may have to explain his comments post match ,for not condemning his players violent conduct .

Did you think that up all by yourself?

Well done, there's a clever boy!

Certainly spoiled it for the home fans.

You can't compare the lower reaches in which you operated with the supposedly professional heights of the Premier League. There is a difference between gamesmanship and blatant cheating and I would expect Premier League players to engage in gamesmanship at best.

I didn't deny that what Sergio did was wrong, his behaviour belonged just as much in your amateur arena as did Chelsea's cheating. Neither is acceptable.

Edit: I don't think that anyone on here has defended his action.
