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

Yes they are a good team but the players can still try right un till the end. Swansea,Norwich,Bournemouth I could go on aren't so good but we don't do much good against them either. Bournemouth prime example they weren't knackered at the end they pushed on to score,why were are players so knackered? it was only a normal 90 minute game, we haven't got an issue now with Martinez fitness regime as well ?. There's no excuses he isn't up to the job and needs to go, I said this on a post last year and nothing much has change, only that in the last 2/3 months we have got worse.

We did try, they didn't give up. We just didn't have the quality mate. That's all.

Yeah your right there, we could do with a couple of goals from them, like Horne scored against Wimbledon in that final day game, that was a cracker.

Could do with just a small slice of the luck we had in that game

Think Leicester could offer an argument there mate.

Man city have no need to worry, the refs will bring Leicester tumbling down.

You know what I meant mate...

Their team has the best players in, that's a fact, as well as Leicester are doing.

- Best striker - Aguero
- Best playmakers - Silva and De Bruyne
- Best holding midfielder - Fernandinho (he was excellent tonight)

i cant even be asred to have a tug at the moment

Definitely got concerns about the fitness of this team too, you can see the likes of Deulofeu blowing out of his backside after about an hour. The number of late goals we've conceded too. And it's not like we get tired from our intense pressing game is it!!

Decisions even themselves out - Everton get 10 poor decisions against them and ten teams get one each in their favour - even.

Puts fishing rod down and takes bait off.

imagine going to watch a cup semi-final and seeing a mass of inflated bananas. wtf, city! seriously? Enjoy your decade or so in the sun.

....given the bananas mate I genuinely think they're only just starting to enjoy the 80's.

Weird that.

I feel a bit sorry for Deulofeu he really looks like he really care a bout Everton and try's his best as some of the others like Stones only looks like he's playing for himself, I get that feeling also with Lukaku at times.

Car broke down on m62 at huyton,had to get a recovery truck,missed the game,bad,bad,night,I'm blaming you Everton,I hate you!

 

[snipellis11]

I'm feel so disappointed, to think we were 1-3 up in the tie, what a position to be in and then it all just turned around.

 

[oldblue]

Just to remind everyone that we are going to win the FA cup this year. So forget this competition that we usually go out of without any of us noticing.
Funes Mori was immense. Robles has to get a chance soon. Barkley won't leave and is starting to grow into his reputation. Del will be a world beater next season.
Don't really care who the manager is.

Just wanted to say hard luck Everton. Difference for me was aguero as is so often the case. So lucky to have him. Other than that not much in it over two legs as the aggregate score reflected. Disappointed to read on here cheap shots about city being a charade, oil money etc etc etc. I was at places like Lincoln away watching us get beat with lee Bradbury up front not so long ago so a charade I am not. Must say I was astonished Martinez took off delafou, he had demichelis in his back pocket, I think taking him off gave us a break and allowed us more and more possession. Also stones looks like his head is elsewhere. Could have gone either way in the end, Atkinson was [Poor language removed] both ways but can't blame him for our second, linesman was out of position and 40 yards away. Anyway wish you luck for the rest of the season.

How the hell can you even try to slate Barkley tonight. Bar Aguero he was the best player on the pitch. He more than did his part.

Err.... Kone mate? Where did I say Barkley ?
