League Cup Final - Post Match Thread

[Dhruv1]

YES Pep's first cup!! A great assist from Bravo! Agüero brushed off the defender and brilliantly chipped into the corner. Some excellent defending like the Kompany of old. KDB smart corner, nicely played through by Gündoğan and wonderfully stabbed into the goal Vincent Kompany motm, skipper, fighter, legend. Danilo nice ball into David who stunningly sliced it low into the far post. Hope Fernandinho is back soon. Didn't quite find our game 1st half but the 2nd was beautiful, back to our majestic selves and won the cup in fabulous style!!

No - they were poor but we upped our game and thrashed them second half. The easiest cup final win I can recall for us.

What summed the difference up was 3 - 0 up and in injury time and we are chasing back for our lives.

Arsenal 1 - 0- down and still in a final and they were walking back to try to defend!

I meant the media going down that route mate :)

In the 91st minute, Kyle Walker sprinted all out 100 meters to get back on defense while up 3-0. That's what I am taking away from this game. Well done boys!

Vincent Kompany. I love you man. I fucking love you man. What a fight from our warrior.

All my doubts about Vinny = I was an arsehole.

We didn't even get out of second gear today.

I think that 1st half is a great example of why the League Cup is a great cup to win for a team like us because we looked nervous, edgy, not putting our game into action. No surprise that Vinny, Silva, Aguero - the players with experience of winning - were the players who came up big.

We won't be like that in the next final. Whether it's the CL this season, next season or a domestic cup, you get that first trophy as a team and then each consecutive one gets easier.

Yes. Some of those players have never won anything in this country & it's got that sorted.

Plus it was 3-0 which is much better than the penalty thing last time.
