Got 1 nil to the Rags written all over this.

Ushited shot 10 yrs off target would of been the goal of the season.

Quick find negative slant on city

Underwhelming so far. We look like it's just another pre season training game. A bit disappointed the rags are so poor as it's likely to be their only cup final this season.

That's because it is. I'd be more worried if I was the rags given how many first team players we have out.

Pep a little pissed off. Another fine for a late start incoming. The bollocking he’s going to give someone will take a little time.

Is it just me or does Rashford look completely disinterested?

Missing his jigsaw

 

[PragueBlue]

Started well and made a couple of decent chances. We lost our way after that a bit largely due to poor distribution from Ederson and the back 4. Not sure if they don't trust our CM players but they seem to always want to go long or wide. Bobb and Doku have done well, as has Kovacic.

If we can sharpen up our passing a bit (particularly from the back), we should win this. Not that it really matters.

I think we've overdone the young legs - they are getting a bit trampled

 

[Ric]

Decent first half from us, considering the relative inexperience of the team. Bobb looks great again, Lewis and McAtee doing well too. O’Reilly understandably looks a bit rawer.
