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

A beautiful tribute to the King.

Fernandinho was top class. His passing ability is sensational. Spraying balls forwards into space then doing all the defensive work as required and getting the 2nd goal too.

Gundogan yet again was brilliant. Looks quicker than he was and has energy to burn.

Tiredness hit during 2nd half and we were fortunate not to concede but Dias and Stones just threw themselves any which way to ensure the clean sheet. Class.

RIP Colin Bell
 
I`ll hold my hands up. I had a downer on Gundogan playing in the double pivot. His change of position has made an ugly duckling into a swan.

Well done lad you`ve changed my mind and I so happy to admit it.
To be fair he's been played out of position for a long time, old style inside forward, midfielder suits him to a T, tackling not his forte. Needs to speed it up some, not forgetting his team-mates need to be proactive.
 
I was the same. I said he has everything to become a top player but doesn't have the bollocks to do it.

He proved me wrong and shoved his balls in my mouth basically!

Delighted for him.
ThNkfully also shoved them onto the cross from Foden ;)
 
I really enjoyed the directness of our play, it wasnt about passing and keeping control but more about passing with purpose which contributed towards the pace of our play.
 
I should be happy (I am) after this win but when Fernandinho stops playing for City, it will be a tough day. No hate on Rodri but Dinho showed us why he’s the best at what he does.
Early in the first half, Fern received the ball in our half with 3 or 4 rags around, with a simple change of body shape and the angle he let the ball hit his foot to move off, he just left them stranded, that's why he's so good at that role, you just don't get that with Rodri, and again, no hate on Rodri, he's just not built for that role.
