Ibra is in trouble . Mings might get off with it . shouldn't but he might.
{Ed004's Note - Both will be done for it I think. Can further action be taken if the ref has seen and 'dealt' with the Ibra incident.}
04 Mar 2017 14:49:13
I can't imagine the ref saying i thought he elbowed him but never sent him off in the match report . And the media are all ready all over it so you would expect him to play the "i never saw it crack ".
I think it was a definitely stamp should get more than 3 imo, not sure he will tho.
04 Mar 2017 14:51:10
If no booking then post-action can be taken I understand. 3 game ban I reckon.
{Ed004's Note - Thought so thanks. Might not be the worst thing in the world. Ibra gets a rest and Rashford gets a run out up top. It's highly likely we would have went out at the bridge anyways. Means Ibra is fresh for Europa}
04 Mar 2017 14:59:54
Maybe Rooney gets that run up top though I fear! I really don't know what's going on at the minute, I wouldn't put anything past Jose.
I noticed Rooney more advanced with Ibra dropping before Rooney was subbed, maybe that was with the impending ban in mind, not sure though.

Mints was always going to come and say it was unintentional. Make no mistake, he knew exactly what he was doing, it was disgraceful. Not condoning what Zlatan did in retaliation, but it's easy to say you can react after that. I couldn't help myself. Both 3 game ban I think. 2 big points dropped today. I think too 4 will be hard. Focus on winning EL I would now.
04 Mar 2017 15:43:01
Got to be a ban for each player. 3 matches.
Thought we would win today. Was happy enough with the team and wet played well in the 1st half.
Ibra had a shocker missed 3 great chances and a pen. Just saw his interview admitted he was to blame for not winning and refused to condemned mings. What goes on n pitch stays on pitch I'm just disappointed I let the fans down today he said. He also said it was not a deliberate elbow and that mings jumped into his elbow
I hope saving herrera will pay dividends next week. I understand the decision.
Really disappointed we could not take advantage it's it's not for the 1st time this season.
I thought shaw was ok today. Good to see him go in hard and take a couple of knocks.
Jones was a total disaster from start to finish.
I hope rash plays up top in ibras absence I'm firm in my belief that rooney is finished at the highest level.
Pogba should a lack of experience and maturity in the 2nd half looking for Hollywood balls all the time.
Rojo played quite well imo.
{Ed004's Note - I think because of what happened during the game that Jones performance is flying under the radar but he was shocking today. If that was Smalling he wouldn't be able to leave his house for the next week or so}
04 Mar 2017 15:49:06
Ed true that jones and smalling .
Imagine if fellaini had used the elbow and not ibra.
Ken
I think rooney will get the nod ahead of rashford .
04 Mar 2017 16:39:17
Jones just hasn't progressed and should be sold along with Smalling. The whole defence needs a makeover and we need a finisher badly, the chances created should yield more goals and that is killing us. Pogba is not worth at present a tenth of the money that was paid for him.
04 Mar 2017 16:44:41
I know you do jred. I'm not so sure. He has not been in the team because the manager doesn't think he is good enough so I think he will stick with that and go with Rashford.
I'm no fussed either way as long as we win
Nobody could defend ibra for the elbow he should have been sent no dot about it. The ironic thing is if he had got a 2nd yellow he would have missed 1 game now my guess is he will miss 3.
04 Mar 2017 18:10:57
to be fair with zlatn at least his elbow hit the target today if he tried to kick him he would have probably missed.
04 Mar 2017 18:56:19
Ken he has not been in the team due to injury . Thourgh out the season if ibra has been rested rooney has played 9.
04 Mar 2017 20:09:06
I hope gets the nod ahead of rooney.
It would be a shame if rooney gets that CF position as he clearly isn't up to it.
04 Mar 2017 20:53:41
People want to replace a slow static number 9 with another slow static number 9? Rashford for me all day. Mata, martial and Mkhitarian behind.
