My first thought was ibra was in an offside position when the ball was played to him for the assist. Never saw a replay, was it even close?

Nah, he was at least a metre on side.

 

[LOAM]

Hahaha! Oh wait...you actually serious?

Of course I was only joking, only MU are allowed penalties and fouls and we were only there to lose and foul you. Im not stupid, I know how it works.

 

[Mark1989]

We have made one change can in and origi out, means Firmino back in as false 9

 

[Purdy]

They're due a result against us eventually

Also aguero should've had a way longer ban

 

[Purdy]

Disaster of a start, klavan ****ed now lol

 

[Mark1989]

Thats not a free kick **** off, Klavan went for ball and Fernandinho throw himself to it literally.

 

[Purdy]

Holy balls, that cross is absolutely ridiculous, completely ****ed the defender

 

[Mark1989]

Disaster of a start, klavan ****ed now lol

Milner started nervous too! BUT SOD IT! GOAL Wnjaldum! What a great header lad

 

[adam cool dude]

Guardiola out of his league with the premiership

 

[Purdy]

Milner is looking like koncheskey

 

[McBain]

Suicidal play from City. Cracking header though.

Are you being serious? He 'tackled' him around the shins, blatant foul.

 

[LoadsaMoney]

Good start, 1-0 Wijnaldum

 

[Mark1989]

Dude..no one at any point since he left has been as poor as a player as he was for us.. far too harsh

His first foul for his yellow was, On the 2nd "foul" ball was going down he moved to kick it, Fernandinho didnt even try to kick it just threw himself down so it looked like he went to boot him

He didn't 'go to boot him', the contact is absolutely obvious.

Sure, Fernandinho has swan dived a bit but that's just a foul all day long.

I didnt say Klavan didnt touch him, i said Ferandinho threw himself to the ball thats the difference

 

[McBain]

I didnt say Klavan didnt touch him, i said Ferandinho threw himself to the ball thats the difference

So it's a foul then?

The ball is away, Klavin swings for it, air shots it, and kicks Fernandinho .... i mean that's a foul 100 times out of 100, it's frankly bonkers to me anyone can think that's not a foul.

 

[Mark1989]

So it's a foul then?

No not imo, you said your self he swan dives to the ball so at that point klavan leg is all ready out in a genuine effort to get the ball, Fernadinho is all ready diving for it so its clear as day Klavan leg will touch him, If a player dives over to you then you touch them.

Ferandinho wasnt making any effort for the ball if he was then fair enough but he wasnt.

He swan dives after the contact has been made, you make it sound like he threw himself into Klavans foot?

He's making an effort to chase the ball, Klavin kicks him and he goes down.

The replay i saw he was heading down instantly (not watching on tv) he appeared to dive before any contact which is why i stated above points.
