Match Thread Manchester City(1) Vs Everton(2) - Capital One Cup - Semi Final 2nd Leg - Weds 27th Jan - 19:45 KO

I'm now 100% anti bloody Atkinson

Would have thought the Rodwell incident alone would have been sufficient enough for that.

 

[matty1878]

Hence the word may

Ah sorry mate

 

[maccavennie]

It's only a matter of 'when' for me Frank, not 'if'.

Agreed there mate.

 

[GwladysBlue]

Just out for f the ground, goodbye Martnez.

 

[longers]

Take this as an inspiration for the rest of the season? Seriously Roberto, stop spouting so much nonsense as it's embarrassing.

Did he just say that ? Surely not

He makes me angry with his constant positive bs

 

[Rugby Toffee]

It could be worse , we could be Villa

 

[The Mighty Quint]

Hinchcliffe is a complete idiot saying it was impossible to see the ball go out with the naked eye.....well quite a few of us saw it in real time and called it.........

Atkinson was not in a bad position either, about 12 yards away looking right at them.

 

[Further Harm]

It's not over yet. We can't buy a win and it's a long way til May.

It can't get worse surely can it?
CAN IT??

Martinez n


I thought del was struggling, in the last 5 mins he stopped tracking back, he was either sulking or injured.

Why not bring on lennon for pace. The sub sucked pace out of the team

 

[Big Fat Sam]

My thoughts:

Joel made one great save, couldn't go anything about the goals. Who knows if Howard would have performed better.

Stones horrific again, but played out of position. Yet another error. I called for him to be dropped, but obviously Martinez knows best...

Mori was great, I thought. Jagielka was miles off the pace. Baines was pathetic, and actually looks a shadow of the player he used to be.

Barkley had a great first half, anonymous second. Can't believe they took 10 minutes to stop his nosebleed. Crazy.

Deulofeu should have stayed on, but maybe he was knackered and simply couldn't continue? Cleverley was toilet, and Lukaku - I've not seen a less interested performance by one of our strikers in a long time.

Osman playing was the main indicator that we were going out, even though he wasn't particularly bad.

Martinez needs to go, asap. Give it up, admit you've failed, you've taken us massively backwards. None of them "superstars" are going to want to stay now, and rightfully so.

Wonder how many will be here next season

Indeed. It will be gutted over the summer.

 

[Fansince1988]

Yep, we have to keep calm, there no point spitting our dummies out and changing managers. Let's just take stock at the end of the season

What a bout if we aren't in the PL next season, I think we will be but any other team would part company with Martinez now, new manager in time to regroup off next season. He's taking us nowhere, giving him untill the end of the season just wastes more time.

Imagine if Everton had scored it , and it was allowed . The media would be in full-on "Man City ROBBED " mode . Demanding the game be replayed

 

[Lowste]

I hope your dreams come true.... But they won't with Martinez around

The whole point of dreaming is the expectation and the hope

In fairness most of my dreams don't come true

 

[matty1878]

The sad thing is, everything was going according to plan, at 1-1 I was nervous but still quietly confident, taking geri and osman off weirdly before 60 min mark just killed the game. Yes we were robbed but this is Martinez' fault.

As for Stones, he needs to get out of the team, his confidence is shot and can't even pass a ball anymore. Take him out the firing line and bring him back in after 2-3 games.
