Gabriel Agbonlahor has blasted Bruno Fernandes for his performance against Manchester City. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.
Labelling the MUFC captain a cheat after his controversial involvement in Foden’s red card, Agbonlahor stated that United’s eventual defeat was nothing more than footballing karma.
Gabriel added that even though the Portuguese midfielder is an outstanding footballer, he can be a cheat at times.
His words, “At the end of the day, Bruno Fernandes is a cheat.
He’s an outstanding player, but he’s a cheat. You’ve kicked Foden twice on the floor, which should have been a red card to you.
Then Foden’s lashed out a tiny little bit and you’re rolling around when you’re not hurt.
A proper referee goes over and says, ‘You two, cut it out’. A yellow each, play on. It’s never a red card.
That’s why you get your karma. Maybe the goal that should’ve been disallowed on Haaland, is the karma you sometimes get in football for the red card to Phil Foden.
You lost the game because Fernandes didn’t turn up, [Matheus] Cunha didn’t turn up, [Bryan] Mbeumo didn’t turn up.
[Diogo] Dalot was horrendous at right-back, [Patrick] Dorgu is not a left-back. You lost the game because when you went up a man, for 70 minutes, you decided to sit back. You decided not go to go for it.
How can Manchester City be the better team with 10 men? You lost the game for different reasons.
You didn’t turn up, the occasion got to a lot of the players, not because of the goal that shouldn’t have been given.”
