If anyone was in doubt as to why Mendy and Mahrez needed to move on that game should seal it for you

Probably lost out time to the fireworks!
Don’t talk sense they obviously brought the whole evenings schedule forward at the last minute just to annoy us, Danny Murphy's idea no doubt:-)

Fucking awful performance first half especially. Got the job done but we’ll have to play so much better against Swansea.
That was sheer bloody torture. Thanks for that City as one of the old long suffering brigade that brought back all the ptsd you gave me that I thought I'd buried for good.
Great credit to Cheltenham they almost pulled of probably the biggest cup upset ever given where we are now as a club. At eighty minutes there was no way I could see us scoring one never mind three. Relief is all I feel now, oh and bloody drained.
If the Mendy shot and the Torres chance goes in that would have been a 5-0 stroll. After that their belief grew and I got that awful gnawing uneasiness in my stomach. There was shades of Wigan away about it. I just knew they'd score first and my gut feeling was if they did they'd win it, I am so relieved I was wrong on that bit, the world and his dog would have mocked us forever more and rightly so.
Unfortunately that showing means Pep now has to go full strength against Swansea. If he doesn't we lose.
Time to breath now, relax and enjoy the other games.

Poor performance with the exception of Foden.
City's cup though - Always a very tough game in the rounds when we win it. Hooefully this was it.

Well what a cup tie that was. Cheltenham Town take a bow. Thought you were excellent and your manager is class. With Pep making 10 changes from the Villa game meant we were disjointed. Mendy and Mahrez were so disappointing. That first half Cheltenham must have thought City aren't even the best team we've played this season. Thankfully Pep made decent substitutions that made an instant impact. Gundogan really is class despite his haters last season. Foden is such a brilliant talent and grabbed the game by the balls when he moved higher up the pitch. Second half he was brilliant. Jesus really isn't the finished article. We desperately need to buy a clinical finisher. Onwards we go. Think Pep will field a stronger team next round.

It would be nice.I hope this is the turning point for Jesus, it might be just the break he needs to start banging the goals in again
But somehow I don't believe scoring his third clear cut chance against a League Two team is going to see him leading us to the promised lands of PL & CL wins.
