Spurs (A) | EFL Cup | Post Match Thread

So would have been United at home with Arsenal or Liverpool to come after that. Bullet dodged imo.

It's simple when you break it down, City to go on and win the league cup this season would have been hard even with a fully fit squad with the teams that are still in it, Also, Manchester City have turned the League Cup into a major trophy to win for other managers and clubs

Hate this sort of thing because it was a first-team game involving City and you can not win.
Pep and City will take pelters for fielding a weakened team in the league cup tie tonight
City's only result tonight was always a loss because of injuries and protecting players.

Yes it was the first team game involving first-team players and will go down as a Spurs win and they will milk it rightly so, Skysports love nothing more than bashing City and the pundits will talk shit for an hour about this amazing win against the Champions, but this was not a first-team game Pep and City wanted or needed right now.

You feel for the fans, But I think the City players on the whole had given the fans 100%. the fans have not seen many losses in the past couple of years and many understand and will be ok with it.

I will say City going out now looks OK with the teams that are in the hat for the next round,

Was there tonight, the team did us proud, no complaints from me, loads of positives

A worry for me is once again we conceded the same goal yet again, ball into the channel then a pass to the back of the box and a tap in.........How many have we conceded this season with this same move so far I reckon at least 4 times.

I wasn't really bothered by the result if I'm being honest. We played better than I thought we would and I'm okay with that.

Great to hear positives from the travelling fans when we come up short, City City the best team in all the world and all the land

Wasn’t our night, Spurs played well but could’ve nicked an equaliser towards the end.

What is more worrying is the Savinho injury and Gvardiol possibly getting a knock as well at the end.

10 first teamers unavailable for Bournemouth would cripple most sides including us.

Praise be for other other 11 :-)

Pep needs to explain the risks
He took tonight. Absolutely mental with the injury situation

 

[mrbelfry]

Gonna nip into sports direct on the way to work and pick up a pair of boots. Another injury and I have a chance to make the bench

Walker bailed us out of trouble countless times - we took it all for granted. Can't expect Lewis to do that.

But you can expect him to be in the right place and read the game. god knows what he wonders so far in to the centre circle before the 1st goal
