Why are people in the matchday thread upset? City will win this trophy anyway, it’s better not to play a lot of needless games and get knocked out early rather than in the semifinals
Not too fussed really, we were much better in the first half then the second half though. Actually played some nice stuff... feck knows where that went.
Meh, not too fussed. Played alright, they were lucky, should've had a pen. Thought Sancho played well. Feels like 0 of the almost 30 shots we had were on target though.
Started poorly and deservedly went behind. Then we absolutely hammered them and should’ve won comfortably.
Sancho and VDB looked good. Martial was dreadful. Bruno tried too hard when he came on. Ah well, if we had to pick a tournament to go out of early, we’d have all picked this. City win it anyway
If Sancho and VdB can't impress in pointless competition in front of home crowd, how the heck they are ever gonna play in big games? They sucked both big time. Martial... I gave up on him so not gonna waste energy.
We are still so slow, we have no plan. Defending against us is so freaking easy. We never put them today on a back foot... We are like slow motion team.
Conclusion of this match: Martial, Telles need to go. Mata should never start for us, unless he is literally the last available person not injured. Matic is too old.
That was embarrassing. I cannot understand how people are happy with displays like this. We were playing at home against a mediocre team and we never looked like scoring.
I think we saw why Ole is reluctant to go to the bench. Not much there to pick from. And Martial was just a shadow on the pitch. A total waste of oxygen.
