Aguero knew what he was doing, sure, everyone knows that. But, he knew Fellaini was vulnerable in that moment and liable to do something silly, and Aquero gave him the chance to fuck up. There's clear forward motion from Fellaini, and Aguero didn't pause like Sanchez, he went straight down and sold the move perfectly...he didn't really over act that much. City had no chance of breaking down United 11 v 11, and I know a lot of folks don't like this part of the game, but it is part of the game. I'm not being flippant but Aguero did the right thing, and much like Sanchez, it's all instinct, he's not thinking, it's all the sum total of a lifetime in the game...instinctively he knows, he has to make a play at Fellaini there and any decent striker will do that.
City were fuckin pish though and Pep needs to get the chequebook out in the summer and i reckon City will spend big. They were far too sluggish in the build up. Much like the Palace v Spurs match the night before, when you play a team that is well coached and comfy parking the bus, you have to draw the opposition out or make the most of your opportunities when you get the ball in your own half and there is space to exploit, but you need pace, you need to move fast...once the other team get set at the back, it's so tough to get a decent goal scoring opportunity. There were a lot of backwards and sideways passes in the middle of the park for City...to be fair they didn't have too many options when they broke forwards, more often than not it was 3 v 6 or 2 v 5 and not many bodies trying to get into the box. City's crossing was poor all night, United's performance was a textbook, don't lose and maybe catch them on the break, performance.
