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

Funny thing about this game is the way the Draw put us away last. Martinez quoted quite rightly an away draw second leg is less desirable, but the way we are playing at home plus 8k hardcore ,evertonians (who lift their game Massively for semi finals ) give us a fighting chance.

This is the type of game if Liverpool had it in the past where Stevie GBH would turn up.

Barkley has to stamp himself in a similar way tomorrow. He has to outshine that City midfield and take control.

Cometh the hour, cometh the man.

Toure, Silva, Delph, Nasri, - not much to ask him really. Looking for a scapegoat already?

 

[R.Reddington]

Let's win this for Naisy.

Well, he wont be on his own will he?

Barkley has the ability to outshine all those. He's the rising star. Time for him to step up and define the moment.

Spot on that.

Its fallen nicely in that respect. I get the feeling the players have more of an affinity with the travelling support.

 

[Rook]

We are good at draws yes?

I'll give them a wave for you......

Shameless self promotion there

Only messin' lid

Hahaha so true. I would have just re-typed but I thought, why not?

 

[EddyKent]

What Roberto today, has extinguished any hope I have tomorrow night. Really hope it won't be a lashing.

Couldn't agree more. I'd rather us be away than at home for any game at the moment

 

[MACCA75]

Not sure who will be playing left midfield here.

 

[Justin Vaughn]

With the talent they have, this team should be winning no matter who the manager is. Hopefully it finally clicks tomorrow.

 

[deipnosophist]

It's been a disappointing season thus far, but not unsalvageable. Much hinges on tomorrow's result. Please win Everton... (or draw !)

Won't take much for him to outshine Nasri like, he's out injured all season!

As for Delph, well, he's not exactly world class is he...

If Barks has a good game, he could drive us to the final

Also, can someone explain the hate for Howard? Obviously, his time has passed and I'm certainly hoping Robles stays in the starting 11, but it seems like there's more vitriol than he deserves. He's served the
team pretty well for a long time. Is he some kind of cretin off the pitch?
