16/17 League Cup

[Magma]

you may have been bored but i enjoyed it. thought we fashioned the best chances. kelechi strangely dithering when in the box and the difficult header at the start. really liked navas, garcia, fernando, maffeo and otamendi. really just hoping vinny gets through. heart skips a beat when he goes charging

 

[moomba]

Garcia brilliant. Maffeo fantastic too. Of the senior players, Navas has killed Shaw. Sane has been disappointing. Otamendi has done good things but half a dozen times too rash, and could have cost us.

Could go either way, but we're doing well.

Deserved goal.

 

[pantskyle]

And that should have been a red.

 

[moomba]

Thought it was a foul by Herrera on Fernando. But they were getting on top and the goal wasn't a surprise.

 

[kreglze]

He just Juanted that more...

 

[kreglze]

Shaw just kicked the legs out from under Navas... No free kick.

 

[SM]

Fantastic goal by Soton, Boufal looks like the latest Liverpool-bound Soton gem.

I'm forever blowing bubbles, carn you mighty irons.

Twitter tells me that Michael Carrick just outpaced Kun. Is this true?

Not blowing many bubbles tonight K4E. Explain yourself .

Zero shots on target by City, Wow.

 

[Magma]

2 fouls in the leadup to the goal. another bemusing mike dean effort. but clear from the start who this meant more to. happy for garcia and maffeo who were excellent, bar a couple of mistakes which is to be expected. maffeo keeping pace with mr dab a particular highlight.

West Ham have a lot of morons in their fanbase, not surprised they kicked it on with Chelsea fans, a few of them aren't exactly modest individuals themselves.


At least it wasn't as bad as that anti-Semite stuff that occurred a few years ago against Tottenham.

 

[moomba]

Never good to lose a derby, and I'll never be happy going out of the league cup.

But there was a lot to like about the performance tonight. I thought Garcia was fantastic, and Maffeo too. Our best two on the night for me, and hopefully another nudge to Pep for more minutes in the league.

Slight worry that we're not creating a lot of chances, not sure if thats players down 9n form, or something else.

Remember a few years ago going 13 or 14 without a win under Keegan (I think). Not sure how I coped then because I'm ready for a win now.

And your thoughts on the clear foul by Otamendi on Pogba outside of the box which Mike Dean missed completely which easily if called could have been a red?

Maffeo was very good.

Shaw had Navas in his back pocket... Surely his time is up in the light blue.

Navas runs in one direction, easily countered.

Moomba said the opposite. I didn't watch the game so can't comment really.

 

[moomba]

Navas tore him a new one for the first hour, then moved to the left.

 

[Jatz]

City's run of good form continues then...

 

[kreglze]

TBH I was sort of drifting in and out of the game, had it on the background, however whenever I looked up, Navas was just running straight into Shaw and Shaw was coming away with it. Perhaps I just missed Navas' good play?

 

[kreglze]

Navas tore him a new one for the first hour, then moved to the left.

I must be mistaken then, disregard my comment.

 

[chef]

That sucks. Wanted to have a good LC run.
