So playing the weakened team against Utd worked out

[franksinatra]

To be honest I think we should have played a full strength side against United and won, rested players against West Brom and only won by a single goal. Then those rested players from saturday would not have played for 6 days before Barca providing us with extra energy and we could have beat them 6-1. Easy making assumptions to suit your argument OP.

Great result on Tuesday lets just be happy and enjoy it. Cannot understand the logic, after such a great performance ans so much to discuss, of starting such a thread.

Aren't you 103?

Almost but I plan to live to 150!! :-)

Do you think that, unless injured, Aguero should play in every game in every competition in addition to his international commitments?

You need to read what I wrote originally sir! :-)

The fact that Pep inspired a weakened team to give it a good go against a full strength rag side has to be a positive. Hopefully down the road we'll all look back and laugh at the rags "desperate" attempt to knock us out in "their" cup final.

To be fair, hindsight doesn't come into it. Lots on here said play the kids even before the game.

And lots didnt feel the need to start a thread making out belittling other's opinion, pointless point scoring IMO

I'm in your corner on this, not about banning though, but I was in shock at the venum against Pep from our own fans for playing a young side against their best 11 at their ground and only losing 1-0, that in itself was enough to goad them with. The abusive reaction was uncalled for.

God I'm glad I didn't see that. That would have been the Likkle Cityers, stuck in the mindset that our biggest game of the season is the Manchester derby.

I bet they were going "We should play our strongest team every game" like it's 1978 all over again.

Thank goodness you aren't the manager is all I can say to that.

I agree with SWP

 

[Eccles Blue]

I agree with SWP

So do I, but as I said to him, managers come and managers go, players come and players go, but EB will still be there supporting Manchester City. :-)




And with that I will leave the 'debate'.

 

[Rolee]

I can't fathom the amount of respect City fans are giving them ****s.

 

[cyberblue]

And then your alarm goes off you wake up and realise you can't win every game so prioritise accordingly

It wasca game we could have and should have won

 

[mosssideblue]

It was absolutely the right decision.

If the rags manager had an ounce of sense, he'd have done the same thing.

But he was/is desperate and we're not. He got his Pyrrhic victory.

Tend to disagree. I think Moanio knows deep down that top 4 will be a really big ask this season and probably sees the cup as a more realistic chance of some success (even if just a prolonged cup run).

They're still Shite & SCUM
