*** City vs saints Carabao Cup*** Official match thread

[john@staustell]

Poor. We've been sloppy. Poor defending by Angelino . Get a grip lads,

Corrected to reality

[Beefymcfc]

I'm so impressed with the new lads that have come in.

Garcia just doesn't fuck up does he !!

What a great player and another that should be in the first team whilst we have the injuries.

It's probably the best opportunity to them a chance but by fuck have they took it. The confidence these guys have, with the energy they bring, it transforms our play from excellent to superb.

This is Southampton, mind, which does have to be taken onto consideration as they are not really tested under pressure.

And, as I say that.

Fuck, I didn't think it was allowed in those days!

Why do our corners invariably come to nothing whereas opposition corners create panic in our box?

[blues2win]

Hope Angelino’s injury is minor.

[CTID Hants]

Bernardo hasn't been so good tonight

Bernardo hasn't been so good tonight

Hasn't hit the heights of last season. Don't think being dropped for no reason whatsoever at the start of the season will have helped.

We scored twice from corners against Villa.
But I take your point.

[blues2win]

Through to the quarters. An indifferent second half, No nonsense at the weekend please. Not sure Jesus plus Aguero works.

He's not tall though .

Mahrez is having one of those games where nothing he tries comes off.

Mahrez is trash, when we got him in I thought it was a waste of money and he has done F all to change my mind. He either dribbles from right to left, switches the play backwards or passes to a CB.

I wasn't a fan of the transfer initially but think he has got better and better. Very good addition to the squad depth and quality

[blues2win]

Garcia didnt have a lot to do but he looks class,

Mmm, busy season with Portugal last season where he ran further than any other player, around 60 games in total. Already done all games this season under serious pressure due to the Mendy incident where he needed time.

Its been a graft, and he's grafted. What a player we have.

Interesting how we see players. I thought he would be a good acquisition but then thought he seemed one tracked in the first season, so sort of changed my mind. However, I think he has come on this season and love some of his play. Tonight didn't quite work out but you could see what he was trying, which was so intricate, so, overall, no complaints from me.

Mahrez is the biggest coward since Nasri IMO !!! Never ever goes for a 50/50 ball and won’t even try to out jump an opposing player to win a header .

Biggest fucking wimp in the entire premier league .

[Mase]

Just watched the highlights. Otter changed the match with his fantastic goal. He also made Garcia look like a player by being next to him.

All in all a decent night.

[City64]

Watching the match at the Bee Hive bar Puerto de la Cruz Tenerife. Rare change of formation from pep , two up top ? or Jesus playing wider ? we will see .

Ps 80 temp here

Jesus will be wide

Congratulations on being compos mentis at this hour in PDLC
