I dont reallynknow what your point is with that. The game moves on very quickly, teams that dont adapt fall away. We've seen all season long that we are devoid of chance creation if we dont have a winger that can beat a man. Both those players were on different levels then and we also had a sprightly gundogan, a kdb that could power past anybody on the planet, a foden that could dance past defenders, Alvarez and mahrez who provided guaranteed energy, creativity and goals. We're not close to being the same treble winning side even if most players remain.

Had either of doku or savinho started that game tonight we'd have coasted it from start to finish instead of making it an effort.

I don't think we would have been as they both rely on pace and it was very congested in there

I'm confident we would have given the ball to a doku/savinho much quicker knowing that they want to run at their marker. no point pinging a ball out to bernardo or grealish to give them a chance to go 1v1 when they're just going to back them up and pass backwards. No point debating hypotheticals though, I'll leave it there. We're through which is all that matters and we will need to be considerably better to reach wembley again.
 
Today really highlighted how poor we are with Gundo, KDB and Bernardo playing. I used the analogy today with my mates watching the 3 play together is like watching that soccer aid shite. You can tell by the way they move the class they had. But it’s like watching football in slow motion now. They’re totally totally finished. Games like fucking Plymouth are a struggle because they’ve got no legs at all

He wanted Haaland to start :-)

Haaland who just missed our 2 biggest games of the season with a knee injury and virtually ended any chance of us getting something in those games!

Returned v Spuds and he wanted him to start today as well!

Unbelievable isn't it.

You’ll be in trouble……a lot of bluemooners won’t accept/agree that 3 of our best ever players have turned to shit/just passed their sell by date…one season to far for all three

Whether people agree or not, I bet they can’t find a single game where we’ve impressed with them playing this season. I’m happy to be proved wrong, but they can’t.

Father Time is unbeaten and always will be.

Hard won match. These are never easy. Sill dont think Lewis is part of our future. Mcatee for me won't make it at City.

I agree. I just don’t see it with mcatee. Distinctly average and we should trade in cone the summer. He’s not taking his chances when he’s playing and even his substitute appearances he’s not doing enough to make pep play him more often.

Lewis again he’s just not at that elite level. Decent enough player but I wouldn’t be losing sleep if he’s sold.

Like the look of O’Reilly. Hope he’s given a few more run outs as I think he could make the grade here.

As for the game.

Did ok. Plymouth had one chance and took it. Nothing really wrong with what we did and no argument with a relatively straight forward 3-1 win.

Grealish did well and I hope he can make an impact towards the end of the season.

KDB scored the 3rd goal and assisted the first goal. Clearly he's past his best but he was a big part of our win today as was Bernardo who I felt played well

They are wind up merchants. It’s their thing to do that makes their lives happy. Pretty sad really.

The MDT is an abomination invested by hysterical ignoramus’s who don't attend games.

It should be scrapped, but it probably generates revenue for the forum which means more than that shit it contains.

#scrapthemdt.

We were playing against the bottom side in the championship and struggled like mad. It’s been a recurring theme whenever 2 of those 3 have played together all season, let alone all 3.

Whatever they did today is irrelevant.

Look at midweek compared to today it’s night and day and unfortunately those 3 are the main reason.

I’m as gutted as you are, but I’m a realist. They’re old, and KDB in particular has come back from a career ending injury for a player of age.

He’s the best player I’ve ever seen play for us, but we have to accept him for what he is now. A fringe player at best.
 
Great from Reiss and O'Reilly.
With a bit of luck, we could have been ahead at half time, but the post and their goalie did great.
3-1 flattered them. Not sure what some people want - we all know that some of our stalwarts are fading, and we won't be seeing very much more of them, so, enjoy while you can. It wasn't our 1st team and we won comfortably.
The future's looking brighter by the week. A fit Dias, Reiss and Khusanov - wow! "Best defence in Europe" tag will be back next season; Rodri back in training; Bob and Ecceveri to appear soon.... great times ahead blues!
