Carabao Cup - Semi Final ** Spoilers ** [7/8/28/29 January 2020]

That's the 2nd time I've seen David Silva do that recently.

Probably because he can never hit a clean shot, all his goals come from dodgy scuff shots or hitting it against the ground, they always go in mind.

 

[Robbo]

Silly from Matic.

 

[fez]

And thats a red for Matic. What an utter pillock.

 

[Alex h]

Matic sent off

 

[Purdy]

WTF MATIC

 

[adam cool dude]

Still happy with the performance considering the opposition.

 

[Calpol]

Shaw is such a dumb footballer. Mourinho was right about him

 

[Andybtsn]

Still happy with the performance considering the opposition.

Happy with just the 1 shot?

 

[ThestigGT999]

too much passing in the final third led too that red card IMO

Happy with just the 1 shot?

100% conversion rate

 

[Kelt]

That was a stupid foul by Matic.

 

[adam cool dude]

Happy with just the 1 shot?

Not getting demolished as that is what I was expecting going into this game. City are just on another level.

 

[fez]

Walker headed Otamendi really well there

Why? You beat them earlier in the season. City get torn a new one for having a **** defence then its not exploited, unless you call 1 shot and 1 goal doing that.

Yes and we had peak Rashford fit last time we were there.

Harry Maguire box to box midfielder there

 

[Purdy]

Fred taking that over Mata?

I mean you are pretty clearly on the wind up but i'll bite.

We are missing Pogba, Rashford, McTominay and even with those players fit we are nowhere near the quality of City. City have pretty much a full strength squad and bench. Oh, and they have a 2 goal cushion, and they are playing at home. Apart from that though we should be smashing them...

 

[adam cool dude]

John stones coming on. There is still hope!

 

[fez]

Taking KdB off as well. Rookie mistake.

Don't forget City have a one of the best managers in the world and we have a fraud .

 

[fez]

Thought we were going to get smashed so i will take a 1-0 win away from home vs City.

edit: Tiny chav invading the pitch at the end.

 

[Robbo]

A pretty ok performance really, I think we may have got something with a full strength side. Not great but far better than getting smashed.

The same City team that much poorer teams have taken points off this season, home and away. I'd understand if you had chances to make it 2-0 but you got a goal against the run of play and held on to it. It was a glorified smash and grab
