United (A) - League Cup SF | Post-Match Thread

[Bluesince1979]

I must admit that I was one of those who was slightly critical at half time of three players.Not critical of the way we were playing but critical of these three who were not really helping our cause.One player namely OFFS Mahrez did not improve one iota in that second half and thankfully he was carted off.
The other two were Zinc and Cancelo who both improved massively (can I use that word) in the second half.
To some extent I cant disagree with Nevilles MOTM award to Dias but for me Ferno was back to his wonderful best.
He`s been written off that many times on this forum by people whom I wonder at times are they seriously City fans.
Fuck his age at 35 is it, the bloke is still a wonderful player and for me he will still be good enough come his 36th birthday.
City lads well played tonight and well said John Stones with his tribute to King Colin.
Now lets go all out and beat that fucking fraud from Tottenham Maureen !!

Fern makes a tremendous difference to how we play. His zip and spark gets us going, in total contrast to rodders

I also loved that after John's Stones scores, the first man near him was Dias. That's a partnership.

I LOVE Laporte. But he's got some work to do.

4 consecutive finals for us + 4 consecutive semi-final defeats for them = 8. The King.

Its good to have competition for positions.

Old skool skooling the new

Surprised the rags didn't bring Viagra on.

They can't get past a semi.

I wish I could half way to one of them !!

 

[chesterbells]

Just seen their managers interview. Not bad from him tbf.

All round quality team performance from us - they showed really grit and spirit; really impressive.

 

[Manc in London]

That was a bloody good watch.

I could never get tired of winning at Old Trafford.

I do hope this is some kind of enlightenment for Stones. He had a couple of excellent half seasons for us. It would be great to see him continue this form. He genuinely looks better than ever.

The third or fourth choice centre back signing from the league which "always produces failures" seems to be doing okay too.

 

[Heisenberg's Blue Sky]

Feel sorry for Raz having to look on at a new bromance in Dias and Stones while his own with Sane was cut short. Don't worry Raz, hopefully you'll find another bro and start scoring goals in abundance :)

 

[Del_Bosque]

Some proper team spirit there today

Looks like we may have turned a corner these last few weeks

VAR had its worst game for the rags.

Yes, didnt reward eitherbof Martials dives with a pen.

 

[@BluePhil8]

scary thing is city are without major players and no strikers ? and skysports roy keane thinks united a good side and still in with a chance of winning the title and other cups ??

We could have pumped them 15-0 tonight and Sky would still blow smoke up Yoonited’s arse. The disrespect they have for their own Irish and Southern glory hunting subscribers is comical; Sky must think they are all blind deaf and dumb if they think they can spin that game tonight.

 

[i went to rotherham]

We had 12 players on the pitch tonight, Colin Bell, as always, was all over the pitch.

 

[super_city_si]

Is it as simple as moving gundogan forward. Chelsea game we clicked and it’s continued here tonight.
helps that the defensive is the dogs bollocks.

 

[DMA's]

Can’t believe Dias is 23.... 23!!! Loved that what a win

 

[@BluePhil8]

‘Ya fookin nob eds’ lmao yes Liam

Snidey rat and FAT RAT

Kermit and Mr.Blobby

 

[oakiecokie]

Pleased for the lad. Pep had lots of love for him at the end. I said hook him at half time, but, he was solid 2nd half, so I stand corrected

Likewise I too was critical but at times he doesnt do himself any favours.That second half he was great.

 

[Chris B]

We were so comfortable and dominate against an inform team who have spent 900m since fergie went and that team that lot had out cost them around 400m.

And they were shite, all they could offer was kick and rush football. World Cup winners like pogba, and rashford who is supposed to be the most valuable footballer in the world, and all they could do was punt the ball forward and chase it.

Fernandez looked a complete luxury player, the contrast with KDB was massive. One covered every blade of grass, the other strolled about goal hanging and offering nothing.

400m for that, no wonder their fans are losing it with the gnome faced assassin.
