League Cup Final - Post Match Thread

De Bruyne: "I think the second half performance was absolutely wonderful from us. I think that showed the character and the way we need to play. The second half is more like we played the whole season, and maybe the beginning was a bit nervy."

De Bruyne: "I think our team is very young. Since I came in two years ago, it’s a totally different team. The transfer strategy that City have got is amazing."

I would just like to thank the Arsenal fans...................... a mass exodus by them after 80 minutes made it very easy for us to get the away from Wembley after seeing our lads lift the cup.

Got to say they organisers have that Wembley Park exit nailed after the game. Thousands of people on tubes within what seems like no time at all. Manchester council could follow this lead.

Kev is right about it being a totally different team now. I saw a photograph on either Instagram or Twitter of the 2016 Capital One cup winning squad and of the 15 players in the photo only 6 are still with us.

Fair play to Naomi at least she stayed to the end!

True, though, that could have just been down to her obligation as a participant in the fan view coverage. She may have slipped out at 0-3 with the majority of the Arsenal supporters otherwise.

I'll never understand people filming themselves during the match.

This was for 90min’s fan view segment so the filming was a necessary exercise.

But I do agree it is odd seeing just random supporters filming themselves to send to their mates or upload to YouTube for their customary 17 viewings from the entire population of the internet-accessing earth.

That reminds me, I need to upload my goal reactions from the pub videos...

Was in the same state a few weeks ago—hope you recover quickly!

Consume as many of vitamin combination supplement chews and as much water as possible.

Rewatch the final extended highlights every few hours for morale boosts, as well.

Yes it was superb, when I saw the queue thought it would take ages but soon on the tube. Compare this to the metro demonstrates how shocking it is but I know that’s a different thread :)

I haven't heard the commentary but at the game I thought Arsenal were garbage. As indeed were we first half. So, if he is saying Arsenal were crap then he is spot on surely? They were?

They were but never heard him rip into any team like that, it’s dawning on him ....

What’s most pleasing is how we rooted out the right players to leave and kept the best 6. Our squad development has been really outstanding in the last couple of years - yet Txiki still gets shit!
 
Just got back home from Wembley - about to view the recording. Watching Vinnie score and celebrate - beyond words. We didn't quite play the game Arsenal were expecting - maybe/maybe not by design. Doesn't matter. We won and cruised it.

The patches of empty Arsenal seats (when everyone was in the ground) was embarrassing for them - they couldn't sell their allocation. Before kick off we were a wall of noisy blue and white flags. What made this feel surreal and monumental was the fact that we beat Arsenal (albeit a struggling Arsenal). Will never forget the sight of Vinnie scoring and the emotion pouring out of him - and the emotional response of the fans. Chokes up hardened men - he has that effect. Colossal guy.

Fittingly though three of them scored.

Trophies in 2011 FA, 2012 PL, 2014 PL/LC, 2016 LC, and 2018 LC/?, and two of those three have been here the whole time, and played in all our finals, the third in all the other finals, but they are about to hand over to a new guard, which may take us to a whole new level, its hard to believe it.
