Bristol City (Carabao Cup SF) Post Match Thread

How come sky didn't show a close up of the ball boy when we scored.

Some ballboy asked - and got - Gondogan's shirt......nice one son....

Stones needs to get his act together.

He has been shocking since he returned


At fault again for the two tonight.

It's becoming an issue. That must be four games where he has performed poorly. He is regularly making the wrong decision and his indecisiveness is causing us issues. Miles off where he was pre injury.

I think you have to give a lot of credit to Bristol City, they never let their heads go down, they always believed they could get back into this tie, they also defended pretty well, in numbers and surrounded the the player with the ball very quickly.
City had to play well to beat them, let’s not forget they’ve beaten Watford, Stoke , Palace, and Utd in this competition, you can’t fluke that run of wins.

Ref was good tonight and fair play to Bristol who did not resort to dirty tactics and gave us a good game over 2 legs. I’m surprised they are on such a poor run.

John was in the fucking groove before that injury. It ain't easy getting it back.

He's been shite. No doubt about it. I don't understand what he was doing for that 2nd goal. He should be winning the header in the first phase, and the recovery was even worse. He then loses his spacial awareness when the cross comes in and is ball watching.

Needs to sort that shit out. We are getting to the business end here and trophies are handed out during this period.

we are through but some sloppy defending in the 2nd half and some wasteful finishing.....God, we need a fit, proper left back.....to be almost clinging on at the end was utterly farcical....masterful performance from KDB again, what a player.
We need some more height at the back, to play Zinchenko against their height was a mistake....and it proved to be with their 2 goals coming down his side in the air.
We were really sloppy after our 2nd for 10 minutes and paid the price and again, sloppy at the end.
Luckily we are so good we can just raise it again, as we did.
Sane and B Silva were great again
Another final coming up....happy days

At no point were we clinging on.

Think we took the foot off the peddle a bit after our second so I wouldn't expect that drop in intensity usually. Controlled the game in the most part, great performance and on to Wembley we go!!

KDB saved our butts.

He didn't save anything, 2-2 would have been perfectly enough.

Big congrats to Pep and the players for reaching the FInal. Can't say we played well tonight but got the job done. Think Pep realises we need to improve defensively and maybe LaPorte is on his way. De Bruyne again the standout.

 

[wattle]

Seems so uncertain of himself and Walker can't believe it.

It's more the lack of aggression and losing in the air too.

Not a chance a top team doesn't punish that in Europe.

Fernandinho heads the danger away more than John.

Fuck me he was immense before his injury. He’ll be fine. You can tell you work in the press lol
