***City v Chelsea League Cup Final Official Match Thread***

[Mase]

Pep's just shown all kids that they have no future at City. Is he arsed though cause he won't be here in a couple of years.

Play the kids against a Chelsea team full of talent? You're off your rocker pal

Where have I said he has to play all kids mate?

Eh, what are you saying?

Don't answer it mate, not interested in a debate just before the game, especially after both the Scum have just dropped points.

Don't engage in a debate mate and then run away haha!

If you can't understand what I'm saying about a player that's played in every match in the competition so far I can't really help you mate.

Muric will get over it but will you? Just keep asking yourself - who is the best keeper? Then repeat - if we get beat at least we played our best keeper.
Then enjoy the game

Seemed to be okay playing our worse keeper last year in the very same final....

I would have liked to see Muric too, but I can't argue with the decision. I'd like to but I can't with any conviction. You should always play your best team.

I get it but you don't seem to. We aren't an Arsenal team who throw the games for the other good, this is a Guardiola team that wants to win everything possible, every match, every cup. If he feels Ederson is the best person to do it, then so be it.

The youth will have their time.

Now, let's enjoy the game, mate, or, dependent on how it goes, at least try to.

Come on City let's fucking have this.

[Beefymcfc]

That was a fucking red card!

[Beefymcfc]

Have we got VAR today?
Seems VAR didn't need to look at that one.

[ruralblue]

His arms were up to do that in purpose. Yellow at least. Cheating fuck

[stevefromdonny]

that should of been a red card, thought we had var for this game

[Beefymcfc]

That's strange, no replay of the handball claim even though there was a break in play?

[Beefymcfc]

The Sarri way is now changed to get in their faces and leave something on them.

[Mase]

Are we 1 up yet? (In the absence of PP)

[Beefymcfc]

Not sure there's been a shot yet.

It will be waived away as ball to hand

[Harry Dowd scored]

Not happy with this

[nottsblue]

20 minutes for the first shot. This isn’t gonna be an easy game

[Harry Dowd scored]

Parking the bus or what

[Beefymcfc]

Not happy with this

This is how they set-up when we played them away, and lost. It's very defensive, hoping for something, anything.

[Nigels Tackle]

Parking the bus or what

a fucking yawnfest
