EFL Cup quarter-final draw:

Liverpool vs. Leeds Utd
Man Utd vs. West Ham
Hull City vs. Newcastle
Arsenal vs. Southampton

Was hoping for Man Utd but will take that draw. Another home tie, inb4 Spurs fans claiming it's a conspiracy

All starts when Cresswell comes back.

I remember watching a few preseason games where he wasn't picked and you were exposed against average opposition.

Very important cog in the team.

That and Obiang coming in has made us a lot more solid.

Cresswell has always been underrated, deserves a chance with England. Basically the Leighton Baines in his prime I'd say.

Otamendi is the Ashley Young of Centre Backs. Spends more time crying for free kicks than actually defending.

Is a weak point in their team along with LB. Kompany being fit again is good but based on this morning can he play in a Pep style team? His passing out from the back wasn't great.

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.

It's weird. I have quite a few mates who support the hammers and they are all good blokes.

vinny not injured thankfully. just tired. there was a bit in one of the rags about him saying that pep is forcing him to be 100% honest about his body instead of lying so he can play when not fit. I'd much rather some people laugh at him being tired than him get another multiple month injury and almost certainly end his city career

Didn't watch the game. Stones is the man for that role. Pep can't change the whole team in one window. Would expect significant defensive signings in Jan or the summer.

Used to have a cleaner where I work who was a West Ham fan, was covered in shit tattoos and used to draw swastikas in the toilets.

he's originally a midfielder, his passing is a strong point of his but i presume his passing and runs is being kept to a minimum. it's also the first time he started 2 games back to back in like 6 months or something.

In Oz or the UK? That's messed up.

It is only a small minority, but we do have a large supporter base. Football hooliganism and racism is still a problem for our fanbase.

Spurs fans in a whatsapp chat were complaining within seconds of the draw lol.

Yeah remember him being a DM back in his early days at City, must have just had an off game.

Used to remember signing kompany and Anthony van den borre on ancient CM saves from Anderlecht I think. Those were the good old days. Fair to say there careers went a little differently

i wouldnt be too surprised if it was a deliberate instruction. no marauding runs, not tricks, dont try and play out of trouble. all 3 cb's are quite good with the ball at their feet. lb is the problem though, everything kinda fell to bits once kolarov came on. the bobby moore potion seems to have failed.

also having navas and clichy on each side trying to put in dangerous crosses is like attacking russia in the winter

Oz. He ended up being fired because he got arrested for glassing a women at a pub, I used to talk a bit of football with him but it was clear he was ****ed in the head.

Was Stormzy involved?

 

[Kangaroos4eva]

3 wins in a row now, getting back into some form.

Antonio as a striker is something I wouldn't mind persisting with, he has the power and pace to trouble a lot of centre backs...

It'll be nice to have an uninjured and competent striker.

Reminds me of someone I know.

Ha!

i did enjoy navas first 45 though. had shaw on toast. i think rashford switched and navas followed him. in reality, navas would make an excellent wing back with 3 behind him. if he wasnt 30 and out of contract.

But I thought they were too good for the league cup?

Yeah, that's why I didn't understand why they were complaining haha
