So savio will be out for at least 6 games like the rest of them

 

[Gareth Barry Conlon]

God did not will it.

Pep got it wrong tonight playing such a strong XI when we were already in the middle of an injury crisis which has just got significantly bleaker. I literally don’t give a shit about this competition this season, but would really like to have seen a full youth team giving it their all. I don’t understand why he named such a strong starting XI and then didn’t put Haaland on when the game was in the balance?

 

[Dribble]

I hate being beaten, but if there was a match for us to lose this season, it'd be in the early rounds of the Carabao Cup.

And right on cue, my fuckin Spuds family are lighting up my phone, presumably to take the piss over a match I'm truly not arsed about! \0/

 

[skillman]

which of you is making the bench saturday

I’m game. As long as you don’t expect pace, strength or tactical awareness but are happy with the odd good pass and clinical finishing.

I’ll even play for free!

 

[City Raider]

There is no better indicator of Pep’s brilliance than seeing the celebrations of fans of cartel teams making the quarters in a comp they didn’t used to be bothered about.

He has them fighting for the scraps off his table.

Please Txiki pull out the cheque book in January.

January signings won’t help us, it’s two months away.

 

[Eccles Blue]

The Boys in Blue didn’t give in. They fought to the end. Thank you City, thank you lads, thank you fans. You didn’t quite show them tonight but boy you tried and were the better team. Hard lines lads.
We live to fight another day. :-)
Well done the youngsters. :-)

 

[Burtonblue]

Was always going to be difficult tonight given our injuries.
On the positive side our youngsters look bloody promising. Mature beyond their time.
Lots of positives out there.

 

[I'm Blue]

Please Txiki pull out the cheque book in January.

If it had not been for the injuries I would be quite happy tonight. Some of the kids did very well. McAtee unfortunately did not grab his chance. Nunes becoming an important player for us. Some great keeping from Ortega kept us in it at times.

 

[TueartsCossackSpray]

Sluggish start did us in. Told myself at the start it didn’t matter if we bomb out, yet feel gutted now. Some real positives to take away from it though

 

[Yue Wollongong]

I’m afraid that Wright kid isn’t going to be City level soon.

 

[Crooked_rain]

Of course I always wanna win every game, but I'm not really arsed. Doesn't seem like Pep is either.

2-1 down and no intention of bringing on the best goalscorer in the world, that tells you all you need to know about our priorities and I'm OK with it.

 

[Lavinda Past]

I enjoyed the game. It bodes well for the future that we have kids who can give seasoned PL players the run round.

Not bothered at all about going out. Bigger fish to fry.

 

[Double R]

About as least bothered about a defeat as Ive ever been. Son aside, that was Spurs's best team and how shit were they against our u21. Not that SKY would point that out of course. Our first 11 would have torn that team a new shitter.

 

[deano ou812]

He should have been NOWHERE FUCKING NEAR that pitch tonight. Our best player this season, should have had a night off as much as Haaland.

I thought I saw him reaching down at his groin not long after he went down,when chasing a ball in the box ..

 

[vanchi]

He should have been NOWHERE FUCKING NEAR that pitch tonight. Our best player this season, should have had a night off as much as Haaland.

why the fuck did he had him play in a game that he wanted to lose. i had a nad feeling when i saw him on the pitch.

allegedly ake limped off, i didn’t see it they cut off our stream.

 

[hertsblue]

Sadly, same issues as most of our games this season.
Too easy to score against, too easy to counter us. Any team with pace is killing us.
And at the other end, same failings in the final third. Zero creativity in the team and even less goal threat without Haaland. 3 shots on target from 15 is piss poor.
Just no decent finishers throughout the club bar Haaland and it shows, play good football, plenty of the ball but toothless.

 

[Withnail]

Not bothered about the result and I thought the team played ok. Very worrying about all these injuries we are picking up, just hope Savinho's is not long term.
