Yedlin's looked decent for them.

 

[Cheadle_hulmeBlue]

evans should have come on a lot earlier, good to see him get some minutes at least

 

[J_Bow]

Is there really a point in giving a kid barely 5 minutes?

Why the hell would you run on the pitch when you're getting hammered in a early round cup game, just 6 games into the season and get a ban? .

It's Sunderland. You answered your own question.

 

[gravediggerj]

Evans on means he has played for the club at every age range from under 8! . That's fantastic

 

[Jonsilfab]

What a useless appearance. A little disappointed with the substitute management today.

Any Sunderland fans in here? What is your impression of Yedlin?

He looks great going forward...still to be convinced defensively.
Still wish we had Marcus Alonso...even if he was slow as feck

 

[Blue Haze]

De Bruyne's skill level is amazing. I could see him ending up at the top of the tier below Messi and Ronny.

no there isn't. disappointed in the substitutions he should have come on at the beginning of the half

 

[bluemoon98]

pretty sure evans will be happy either way to come on for toure.

BTW he looks alot happier and applauded the fans...

Wow - fantastic achievement that.

5 minutes or 30 minutes of this sort of football will give you a similar amount. The excitement of a debut, nothing else. The speed and standard has been so poor that you aren't going to learn much about senior football

 

[NanaToure42]

When is the draw for the next round? Tomorrow I'd assume

 

[alky313]

Yedlin is a future winger.

Great player who deserves to be in a passing side

 

[Mancity1980]

I missed the first half and watched the second expecting more of the same. How good were they in the first 45?

 

[super_city_si]

What a useless appearance. A little disappointed with the substitute management today.

I bet Evans doesn't agree.

 

[TonyM]

Cattermole is going to try to break someone's legs in the last few minutes. It's his way.

 

[bluemoon98]

George Evans is on and he becomes the first player to represent City at every Academy age group right through to the first-team. What an achievement! He replaces Yaya Toure.

 

[Cityfan]

De Bruyne's skill level is amazing. I could see him ending up at the top of the tier below Messi and Rooney.

Perhaps

Do you want to milk that sub anymore Yaya? Like it's a feckin' testimonial.
