United (A) - League Cup SF Post-Match Thread

[OB1]

Margin of victory should have been higher but that is old news with this City team. Even so, last night's first half performance bordered on the exceptional.

Not unusual from Pep though.

No, but with us yes.

Apparently some City fans were kicked out of the United end after Bernardo's goal.

This is a Bolton fan's video from the Utd end. You don't see them getting ejected but he comments on it.

Great result for us last night. Let's hope we can finish it at our place.

I know Pep will continue to play him, but Raheem needs to be rested/benched?

If we are dealing in 'world class' brackets, I thought his performance last night was very poor.

Coming on the back of a poor few weeks.

A yard off the pace all game and didn't seem switched on mentally either.

His finishing has shown signs of when he first joined us. Last night was unbelievable the sheer amount of poorly timed, poorly hit shots. His overall gameplay is still there, gets himself about and is always in good positions. He is just an awful lot better than he shown last night

It's been said before on this thread but I thought the City support was absolutely fantastic, right from the tunnel you could here the blues outsinging the rags. Nice to see some of players in the crowd too, haven't managed to get up to a game this season but buzzing to head up to watch the City Palace game

Are you sure? I thought they were discussing it but decided not to this year.

Ah was pretty sure but wouldn’t put money on it now to be honest!

He has set himself very high standards but his drop in form is Negredoesque. Ever since that England bust up he's not looked right, to me, even though he has scored goals. Pep'll sort it.
