Nope - two yellows, can't appeal is my recollection

Used to be able to kindly ask the ref to admit he got it wrong, as we did with Cahill when he got sent off against City for lifting his shirt in his celebration.

Shouldn't have been a red but he's so rash at times he gives the referee the chance.

He puts in a late slide tackle at least once a game when there's just no need.

That said, we'll miss him next week. Not sure how I feel about Besic and Gueye as a midfield duo.

I wonder if this red card and Barry leaving might see another midfielder arrive this week. Dendoncker rumours not going away and Clasie is apparently on his way out of Southampton and is a Koeman favourite.

Thought he was stupid making that challenge.

It was a good tackle. Aguero should be banned for his cheating. A good tackle is never stupid

The first yellow was silly, the second yellow he shouldn't even be making that challenge when he's booked.

Shame as he was good despite that.

Exactly. How can it be interpreted as a rash challenge if he clearly wins the ball and doesn't even touch aguero. They won't. But the FA should be a retrospective ban for aguero as he clearly dived to get a fellow professional sent off.

2nd yellow, will only miss one game so no need. need a striker to complete good window

Aguero is one of those players always trying to get players sent off.

It was on the halfway line and it wasn't a counter attack.

He will have been told to be careful as you're on a yellow, and don't give the ref an option to give you another.

He didn't.

I'm sure he just seen the ball so he could win it cleanly and he did.

0% blame for Schneiderlin for his second booking. 50% blame Aguero for faking injury, 50% blame referee for buying it.

Classic Aguero. Diving piece of crap.

Morgan was pretty good tonight.

Think that would be jumping the gun a bit, it's not like we only have 2 CMs, Gana, Davies, Klaassen, Besic and even Rooney (to a lesser extent) can all play or slot in at CM, RK will just need to change the system a tad. I don't know if McCarthy is fit yet but he could perhaps play 60mins there if he is.

Of course. But it was still putting doubt in the refs mind as he did go it from slightly behind and with force.

It was always mentioned the ref was gonna balance the game after sending off Walker, another incorrect decision.

I'm sorry. Schnerderlin wins the ball and there was absolutely no contact with aguero whatsoever. The main criticism should be with the ref and aguero not Morgan. Fair enough if he caught aguero, but he didn't touch him.
