Man City League Cup 1-1 - lost 4-3 on pens

[The Guvnor]

Well Claude you've played a few fringe players and seen how sh#t they are, lets hope resting a few players pays dividends on Saturday.

 

 

It won't though will it

Sadly Hamer was not going to stop one gave no confidence whatsoever.

People can look for positives because we took it to penalties if they like, but the truth is that was an utterly pathetic performance and only awful refereeing kept us in it.

 

The manager should be ashamed for not putting our strongest team out for that. Man City were poor and yet we were 2nd best throughout by some way.

 

A chance to get to a semi final and we showed absolutely nothing from start to finish.

My usual process when I see posts like this:

 

1. Reads post

2. Realises it's utter drivel

3. Checks to see if it's Kitchandro

 

90% of the time it is.

Positives

Bobby Madley 

 

Negatives

That waster called Kelechi Iheanacho

[RoboFox]

Couple of absolutely minging penalties at the end there. Sod's law that our two star men would f**k it. Our shoot-out record is abysmal, too. 

 

Hamer would've got closer to those penalties sitting on the subs bench.

 

Shame, we could've been in a cup semi-final, but never mind, we move on... 

 

[Great Boos Up]

Match thread could have been left open a bit longer.  Emotions were high and needed expression before the post-mortem Doom set in

[filbertway]

Not looking forward to playing their full strength team if that's the respect we give their u23s.

 

Centre back and a youthie at cb for a large portion of the game and we've barely laid a glove on them.

 

Disappointing but Man City deserve it on balance

[the fox]

onwards and upwards! to the next game!

 

*sees that it's vs man united*

Guardiola pissing himself at the end. He cant believe we paid 25m for his dud Iheanacho.

Blimey.

 

Should have gone to Specsavers.

May as well have had no keeper than Ben Hamer. I’ve never seen a keeper go wrong way on all penalties before they have been taken. Surely Vardy and Mahrez can’t keep taking our penalties from now on. They just don’t look comfortable. Let Fuchs or Iborra have them from now on.

Based on that? No. Any 1st team Premier League side could have beaten them tonight.

 

Let’s not give them credit like their reserves are so superior to everyone else. We were rubbish and it’s a miracle we managed to take it to penalties.

Rubbish really?? Who do u think we are barca city still had some very good players playing and we were has good has them for 120 mins

[Webbo]

Hamer is no world beater but blaming him for not saving a penalty is fvcking ridiculous.

[NewEnglandFox]

I hate extra time with a passion. Both teams too chicken shit to try to win. Man City had a bunch of youngsters. We had our full attacking force and didn't ask them enough questions.

What a shite penalty from Mahrez as well. Keepers dream.

Not even hitting the target is even better. Funny both Vardy and Mahrez missed, both are shit at pens, yet Mahrez is the who's taking the flak.

[TheUltimateWinner]

How did our two designated penalty takers miss?!

 

I had a horrible feeling when both stepped up 

 

Maguire for penalty taker  

[Brooksy]

Really wish we'd take cups seriously, whats the point just playing for ****ing midtable every year

[Hammo]

Missed opportunity. That Man City team was there for the taking.

 

Penalty shootouts - don't you just hate them. They always leave me feeling utterly miserable.

[lgfualol]

Well disappointing. Vardy has a thing for going the same way every time, Pep does enough research to know that. Mahrez pen was weak too. 

 

Hope we aren't pooped for Saturday.

[Tuna]

I think if we'd have started with Mahrez and Vardy we probably would have won. Disappointing.
