League Cup Final - Post Match Thread

Pep: "In the second half we played with more courage and personality." "Now we must focus on the Premier League and win games. Then, the Champions League."

"Pep, why did you stay down here when the players went up?" Pep: "To see it from here is nicer!"

11th major trophy won in my lifetime! Such a great feeling.
Great games for Vincent, Kun and good from Danilo, Bravo and Walker
Great support from the fans too.
 
Not many big games that I watch where I didn't have any doubts at all, great performance, great team spirit, we are light years ahead of the arse. Captain Fantastic was just that, immense! Proud to be blue...
 
Ironic isn’t it, the guy has played so well all the way through this competition, yet has let us down in the league last year, fair play to the man, always backed him ;-)
I wonder if we can get the league won if Pep will give him a couple games. Dependent on CL progression we may not keep putting Ederson in the firing line.

If he does leave then I will remember him for his efforts this season, not his first one. Cheers Claudio.
 
A fantastic win and a perfect day had it not been for Dinho getting injured. In other news did Laporte get a winners medal without playing a single minute in the whole tournament? Unless I've forgotten a substitute appearance. Surely that medal should be given to Sterling or popped in the post to Mangala?
 
Marvellous stuff, well done City. Some cracking performances all over the pitch (although Gundo did make me wince a few times in the 1st half especially), and as many of said brilliant to see our senior players step up like that. Looking back at the highlights now its easy to see how pumped up Vinny was, and to see Silva finish like that was so special.
If going out of the FA cup has one benefit, lets hope it frees us up a bit to better prepare for our remaining CL games.
I did read Pep/City would announce a 2 year extension for him if we won this - hopefully that will happen soon :-)
 
I dont think you will have to wait too long to see that happen again.....if it had'nt been for that bent rag.......Must let it go!
I know mate, I am trying to let it go, but my childhood and my blood just loves the fa cup, think we have sorely under achieved in this cup for years, obviously is league title first, then F.A. cup after that for me
