I wasnt expecting anything less. But I'm not going around saying it was a good performance and that we competed in midfield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poor tactics from the manager to not play for to toe with the team that already put 9 past us this season. So your for damage limitation tactics now? I thought this was the reason to why we got rid of cabbage 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had the right tactics of getting it out wide quickly and putting in crosses where they're weak. Edited March 1, 2020 by Keyblade 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we didn’t compete in midfield we would have been ripped to shreds and lost far more heavily - we were in the game to the final kick and even pep admitted it was tough to kill us off 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was the same result as when Man City played Real Madrid a few days ago and this time Man City needed a dodgy corner to win it. For a newly promoted side this is a very good performance. For comparison Watford played City in a cup final last season and lost 6-0. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobzy Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 29 minutes ago, R.Bear said: What positives were there exactly? The only positive today was how well taken the goal was. We defended set pieces poorly. Hoofed the ball aimlessly everytime we got it. Didn't seem to have any game plan whatsoever and were sinking without trace until Stones **** up. Dont get me wrong, I'm not laying into the team but the praise the performance and indeed Smith is getting is utterly baffling. It's because we played well. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I think its poor that we keep switching formations. We should know the best way to play by this point in the season. The board have absolutely killed him with the signings they've made though. Won absolutely nothing going long. Caught them on the break and lucky slip. 2 up top would've been a pasting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep two good performances against City. They don’t lose many, and Guardiola has only lost one cup final in his career (9 years ago against Real Madrid). Today it took a dodgy corner to win it.

Popular Post KentVillan Posted March 1, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted March 1, 2020 Just utterly pathetic some of the chat in this thread. Petty, thick, irrational, and in some cases a broken record that has been playing now for 18 months. Can’t believe people are tearing into the manager and the team after that performance. Our best cup final performance in 24 years. 10 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
