Selling Jesus and getting Alvarez for less than half the price some business.
What a talent.

As was/is Jesus.

You can praise Alvarez without the need to knock Gabby.

Really enjoyable game,and a result i didn't really expect on seeing the changes/line up.

I thought Ortega was rightly MOTM,as he kept us in the comp especially late on after the bizarre substitution of Laporte which made life more difficult for us.I was very surprised Ake did not replace the defensively shakey Gomez.

Grealish was superb,the shackles were clearly taken off.

Great to see Philips back,as rusty as he was.

Palmer showed he has a bit of grit to match his emerging talent.

Wonderful to see Lewis again display a maturity and quality beyond his years,obviously he was caught out occasionally but amazing experience.

Alvarez continues to establish himself as a fan favourite.

And a very nice reception for Sterling,who showed why he no longer wears our shirt.

All in all,a wonderful evening and i'm fairly sure our name is back of this trophy!

Absolute fucking horseshit

Nah, I agree. I love Eddie but he ain't making at least one of those saves

I still think it's one of the worst songs we have, whoever we play, even them.

I like it, but it's a bit previous to sing it on the concourse before kick-off

Mahrez has the best first touch of any city player I’ve ever seen and I can’t think of any non city players whose is better either, certainly not that I’ve seen live anyway.

What a hit from Mahrez . Goal and assist . credit where’s due.

Not our best game. Not our best team.
But fine win. With Chelsea at nearly full strength for last 20 minutes.

No Chelsea. No Arsenal. No Spurs.

Pity Derby are shit at penalties.

I admire his football skills. :-)

Like the long nose, EB.

Just seen the highlights and to be fair some of those saves from Ortega were very, very good. Never seen the lad live so not sure about his distribution. On MOTD the other night they showed a pass out by Ederson (just a regular chip out by him to a player around 40 yards away) when a Fulham player was closing him down, even Lineker was waxing on about it. So, has Ortega got that in his arsenal?

Unfortunately not. Absolutely brilliant shot stopper tho.
