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

[Stoned Rose]

Solskjaer's fourth semi final loss apparently.

We've all lost a few semis at inopportune moments tbf.

If you say so

I do, they were both very poor, maybe those blue tinters need cleaning.

5 Things we learnt today :))

1) Stones-Dias are the best Defensive Duo in the Country
2) Fernandinho can play till he is 40
3) Foden is getting better and better
4) City is getting back to their best
5) Fernandez is NOT the best player in the Country!!! LOLOLOL

Steffen looks a great keeper, although obviously he didn’t have that much to do.

First half save was quality

I think that's our pre-season out of the way. Onwards and upwards.

Shout out for Gundo - he ran like Bernado all night and was still going strong at the end

The Dias and Stones partnership has revolutionised this team.

We were fucking bobbins up front tonight but those two make it look like an all round great performance.

Think you need to rewatch the chances we created, could easily have been 5

For all the mouthing off, all the rag fans (especially some in my family) who had the audacity to say that fernandes is better that KDB

Fucking do one

Sent them all a nice picture of me and my lads in the living room celebrating with a caption 'Bruno Fernandes who?'

Yeah not texts or WhatsApp’s past 5pm today. Strange that!

 

[Brightwell Bros.]

Stones is a quality player but he isn’t a leader. He needs a leader along side him and he finally has one, it has the making of a great partnership, with Laporte in the squad too!

Laporte and Ake!

Our front 3 were miles off the pace today in all honesty so step forward the defence to do both sides. Superb! The Stones and Dias love affair is soon to have an 18 rated guidance stuck on it, what a partnership they are developing.

Whole back 4 were sensational against what is generally our greatest weakness. Dinho was once again superb infront despite the daft yellow noticeably having an impact on his game. Gundogan was once more the most creative spark we had. As I said at the start front 3 were off thr pace big time tonight but they all at least put a shift in second half, including mahrez.

Don't want to bring up any criticisms after that but the game was crying out for subs after about 70 minutes. Foden was fucked, jesus would have given us the energy off the left and once we had the second he should have rested kdb and given aguero 10 mins, that 5-10 minutes rest after running for 85 minutes makes such a difference. But that gripe is for another time, time to rejoice and wind up some jumped up rags who have surfaced from deep these last few weeks.

As for United, Imagine putting in a lacklustre performance like that against a side with about 10 players out or unfit. Barely had a sniff at goal. They'd have got booed tonight if there was a crowd for such a powder puff attempt at having a go, all they know how to do is defend and counter.
