Fellaini never head butted him, are you serious ? so you have seen every single united game in history of you supporting the club ?
No that isn't a headbutt for me. No force behind it at all.

And yes I watch every united game, if I can watch it live I watch it later.

not sure how Fellaini head butting Aguero has anything to do with Herrera running to get in someone face then falling to the ground when the guy goes near him on a constant basis?
Really? You can't see how they relate? It's a struggle for you to connect the dots on this one?

Your misunderstanding of the word 'coward' is beginning to make sense now.

right lets go threw this, Fellaini hacks down Aguero, Aguero gets up to confront Fellaini, so he sticks the head in to him,

Herrera goes to get involved with a player, the player then stands his ground, Herrera drops to the floor and starts screaming towards the ref,

Yes clearly the dots are exactly the same eh.

not really, can you seriously imagine Keane, Robson, Vidic, some of our great captains over the years doing what he done last night or most of the season, come on to feck eh,
I would say Keane deliberately breaking someone's leg is what you would class as cowardly.

So you do understand, you're just too ignorant to accept the similarities.

You're still to point out what the point of 'standing his ground' would be anyway.

one gets head butted that drops to the ground, one does not get head butted and drops to the ground, so yeah cant see the similarities apart from they both end up on the ground,

Fecking hell, lads. If he played for any other club you'd all be slaughtering him for his antics. I'm ok with it because I love the guy but he can be an outrageously cynical cheat.
this is all i asked yet now i seemingly hate Herrera and am just here to WUM

He didn't get headbutted, Aguero instigated it when Fellaini went to 'stand his ground'. How do you not get this?

Foreheads touching isn't a headbutt, much in the same way as touching someone on the shoulder isn't assault, yeah?

how have i been proving wrong ?
Read the responses. At no point have you even given reason as to how he's a coward. Pop over to the flat earth theory thread, your refusal to see reason would be welcome over there.

He will be offered a new contract this season right? We usually renew contracts in the last year of the contract, isn't it? Does anybody know?

No, you called him a coward. And despite being repeatedly proven wrong you keep going.
I think you're getting too hung up on the definition of coward rather than the actual point of his initial post. Herrera is a cheating sneaky cnut. I wouldn't use the word "coward" but that's kind of besides the point

Then say Herrera is a cheat, they are quite far removed as concepts.

Oh the irony. I'm dyslexic? hyroglifics are easier to read than some of your posts.

Oh we've resorted to spamming laughing faces now.

Headbutt: an aggressive and forceful thrust with the top of the head into the face or body of another person.

That's your idea of forceful is it? Feck me sideways.

top of the head ? so would you class Zidane in the world cup final as a headbutt ? as by your description it was not the top of the head,

It was not an headbutt the way you are looking at it. We all know what he was trying to do, which is just touch the head with the opposition player and display aggression. He quite clearly got played by Aguero. No one is debating whether his action was right and whether he deserved the card. But, being a supporter, you should understand what he was trying to do at least. There are quite a few instances where his actions deserve shaming, but the one you are describing is not one of them.

Not my description, it's the definition of the word. Whatever definition you find of headbutt it'll always include something akin to excessive force, something clearly missing in the Aguero incident. Aguero wasn't a coward in this situation, he was clever, a little fecker but clever nonetheless. We could do with being on the right side of instances like this occasionally.

The fact you're evening trying to justify it as as a headbutt is damning enough.

Another great performance, leading by play example, max effort.

:devil: Key player defensively making lots of coverings, interceptions and tackles, and more importantly his crossfield passes to the other side is important when our defence are under pressure.

Good contributions in attacks too.

What a player this boy is. Determination, skill and absolutely loves United. Was never given a fair shake by van Gaal unfortunately. Don't know what his problem was with him. Genius on the pitch. Needs to be made club skipper next season. Don't like comparing players because it's never a like for like but he's getting close to be the best we've had since Keane

Good God, I remember how i was fuming when Ander was benched under vangle. He is an indispensable member of the team, absolutely love the guy. I hope that he will stay with us for years to come, and Barca won't tempt him
Same here. Was so frustrating to see such a player sitting on the bench while Rooney was running around in circles. Jose has done well to make him a starter and is reaping the benefits.
We'd be crying out for LVG to play him, but when he finally did he never showed anything near to what he's been showing this season. Not consistently at least. He seemed like one of those players that gets better when he's not in the team and that us fans were overhyping him.

I'm glad Mourinho has come in and shown that we weren't completely crazy.

I think LVG destroyed a lot of players confidence and when Ander did play he tried too hard at everything. Jose has done the opposite to a number of players this year. He has admitted that he likes to challenge players and see who is up to the test.

Yet many on here think he needs improving on :confused::confused::houllier:
Competition for places is no bad thing. One of the reasons we won things so consistently was because during the Fergie years Sir Alex would by a top player every year to keep his current crop on their toes. Sometimes that player would force his way into the side, other times he wouldn't make it, but it kept the pressure on everyone.

Herrera is a great player, one i'd love to see retire in a Utd shirt. He's not a Makele-type though, i'd love to get a specialist in and provide him competition for the role. I'd also like to see a really good 8 in our team who'd challenge him, Pogba and Fellaini for the other midfield role in a 3. The weak ones will move on, the best will stay. I'd bet Herrera will see off a lot of competition.
