League Cup Final Post - Match Thread

[bondsman]

You are right. Just watch the Manchester Derby @ the Etihad on the Amazon documentary- Atkinson’s performance is utterly shameful.

Or his performance at Anfield this season and the year we won FA Cup. Totally bent

 

[aguero93:20]

Don’t hold your breath.

That would be dangerous.

 

[Manc in London]

We are still a man short, unless we play 3 central defenders.

Indeed but to be fair to Vinny, his head is like magnet to the ball.

I may come to regret my confidence, but we will see.

Met a guy yesterday in boxpark who would always go to the games with his daughter, however tragically his daughter passed away last Monday. He wasn’t going to go but was pushed to by friends and the Mrs - broke my heart listening to the fella.

Was absolutely buzzing for him over the result, if you post on here mate - CONGRATS, hope you enjoyed the day and got through it ok. Hopes and thoughts are with you.

I dont know the fella,but it as to be the same bloke on cheesy's blog from wembley yesterday ?
you can see the bloke is very upset and emotional,me heart goes out to him.is this him at around 10 minutes into this vid ?

That’s fellla mate yeh! The irony.

Great fella when chatting to him, got my heart strings pulled. All I could think about at the end was how happy I hoped he’d be today

I read on some statistical webpage (might have been our MDC) that the fouls were 7 for CFC and 24 for City!!! That's 24 that Moss arrived at on the basis that every time a CFC player hit the fucking floor it was a foul!

 

[mcfcantc]

That video, wow. Heart goes out to the poor guy.

Their fans should be ashamed at how easily their players go over.

 

[The Lightbowne Cowboy]

Haha every player does it. City players do it, as does every other pro, rightly or wrongly it’s part of the tactic to win a game and tbh...why not? You’re under immense pressure, you get a knock, take 2 mins to get up, gives your teammates a breather and interrupt the flow of pressure

I suppose you're right.But to do it in the manner he did it and to undermine the boss was ridiculous.

 

[Dave Ewing's Back 'eader]

There was one point in the game, second half I think, where one of our fleet of foot strikers (Aguero?) was making progress into the CFC area and a tackler had a bit of a nibble but I think our guys are more determined to continue come what may and attempt the shot on goal rather than think first that I could fake a bit of a trip and let the world debate how much contact there was!!

A keeper with cramp is stretching it tbf

 

[SebastianBlue]

The DT this morning alluded to the offsides as though they were items for negotiation. They were both offside. They were nearer the goal line than the ball, etc, etc. and then they add the usual irrelevant shite that 'it was a tight decision', which simply means in the lottery world of referees decisions it could have been flagged or the lino could have held his counsel!

So many are covering them as if they were completely different incidents under different rules for application.

I genuinely think the coverage would be different if we weren’t one of the two clubs involved.

It’s more and more difficult to tell myself I am just being cynical recently.

He was wasting time from the first minute.

I'd hate for us to do that.

 

[kaz7]

Indeed he was,with that and trying to take out sergio in 5 sec it was some very poor tactics by Sarri and/or the players,very unsporting

 

[old blue]

Yip he should have been off,you wonder what goes through a players head in that instance fucking less than 5 secs on the clock and he’s elbowing an opponent,anyhow karma caught up with him over his penalty...

Did Serge score three a couple of weeks back.Perhaps it was talked about pre match to slow him down.

 

[rnblade]

It matters not one iota now.
The history books will show WE were the EPL Cup Winners!!!

 

[Gray]

Takes an exceptional team to do what we have done with our last three League Cup wins.

All three beaten teams are in the top six in the PL - Pool, Arsenal & Chelsea.

We are privileged to be watching this group of players.

Let's beat the Scum in the FA Cup final and Spurs in the Chumps final and get the full set.

 

[dadnlad]

not read full thread but if fat moss had done his job and booked him for time wasting none of that at the end wouldve happend

Funny how clubs and some fans dismiss this comp but I have had four of the best days of my city supporting life at these finals! The celebrations when Nasri Scored against Sunderland to the joy of penalty wins which let’s face it, when you come out on top, are brilliant. I thought it wasn’t our day yesterday and from about 60 mins on I thought we would lose out so it was great to see us win it again! What a great pen under pressure from Sterling.

Quite, and although a teeny bit gutted for Caballero, so glad he didn't come on, definite game changer that moment.
