This is the worst part of the call. It wasn't like he just moved into that position, he had been in an off side position for ages, and makes no attempt to get back on side. Can almost see how surprised he is when he looks back at the linesman after the goal. Agree with bigfella and Mick on the penalty situation. He leaves his leg in so much it's almost a free kick to us because he kicks Mbemba. Would have been furious (but not the least bit surprised, obviously) if that was given. And the excuse given was the Lino might have thought Toure headed it. Two things about that, firstly the lino should have seen all the players going to Aguero and secondly, and most importantly. Aguero moved back into the same area, heading it or not that should be given offside. It's just a rank bad decision. Even if he thought Toure scored he should have had his flag up then said to the referee that Aguero was offside but not interfering with play if Toure scored. The referee would have then been able to turn around and say actually Aguero scored and then ruled it out. It's better to stop and talk to the referee then to just sit there. Doesn't matter if Aguero scores or not with the new rules in place for this season. It's off side if he even attempts to go for the ball. Exactly right.

I'm probably younger than the shitty linesman. Optimistic but possible

The offside is a clear as you'll ever get. It's just an appalling, rank bad decision that so called professional officials shouldn't be getting wrong.

The lack of a goalscoring centre forward is still going to be the thing that sends us down I reckon, Rafa has got the defence looking so much more solid, but he's seriously handicapped by his striking options. Think it's the 62 goals and counting we've let in that's going to kill us.

Bollocks, he dropped his foot looking for it. Didn't think he did Pops. Yes he fuckin did. Can't believe anyone can see that one any differently. Aguero puts his foot in front of the trailing leg to con the ref, not the other way round. Opinions like, it's what footballs all about.

It's not even close, and Aguero was standing there for 30 secs beforehand

He's like David Dickinson but with no blood.

Yep, Cisse kept giving it away, not holding it up at all in the 2nd half. He spotted it early and made a change. It's nice to see our manager do that and not wait like a idiot (Steve) or make baffling ones (Pardew)

If Vardy gets a second yellow for his antics at the weekend, then Aguero really ought to have been booked for leaving his right leg out like that. Well no, Vardy's was a dive and Aguero's was just a coming together, not a dive nor a penalty, just a tangle of legs. Nothing to it.

Dummett kept him fairly quiet, Paul Dummett....

Not really or the ref would have given them the penalty.

Hoping they put out the same type of team as they did against Bournemouth (i know they won) but with the Europa on the Thursday, that'll be our best chance.

Because he did it simple, just gave it to someone else when he won it back. Wasn't particularly simple. Demanded the ball. Played forward passes. I kind of meant passed to players in space. Nothing too long or too ambitious.

I agree, unfortunately I find this increases the agony substantially. Indeed because fight is the least you can show, and we should have been doing this months ago.

Please stay Rafa i love you.....

Mbemba? Exactly, one big, one quick, both young, let them develop as a pair.

Better performance than Janmaat has put in all season.

Excellent tonight. Makes it all the more baffling why Rafa left him out for Taylor against Norwich and Southampton.

Oh why didn't we put Rafa in charge after Chelsea.

Brilliant tonight, got tired and put in a couple of sloppy tackles late on but he was immense imo.
