It wasn’t like the league game.
League game they should have put us to bed first half and we were the better team second half and punished them.
They were better the whole game tonight. They destroyed any chance of the game getting into rhythm with cynical fouls and relied on their press to dominate possession and territory. They didn’t create shit bit neither did we and they punished us with a veteran Corner kick routine,
Tbh it was more of a Jose style win from them than a Pep one
Heat probably an issue - but its really frustrating
However, we are one and a half transfer windows in. Our squad is only going to get stronger so that in future these issues have less of an effect.
Sorry mate, you don’t know rules of football. Nothing against you, but that’s the most blatant foul on keeper you’ll see.
Different.
It was a very typical City performance. Held onto the ball, moved it very quickly. Kovacic had his best game for them that I’ve seen.
I like a melt as much as the next man but there was a very fundamental gap in technical ability on display. They shut down Kulu. The rest of our attack run in straight lines.
To be honest, even one nil flattered us, as irritating as that is.
Doped up cunts.
Have to concede we weren’t great today and didn’t deserve a replay.
We didn’t deal with their press particularly well, didn’t play through it effectively much at all and really struggled to get the inverted full backs on the ball as much as we normally do.
I guess the real frustration is when we did mange to get ourselves into nice positions, we were very slow with the final pass / wasteful with final ball. If I were Werner I’d be pretty pissed in the dressing room about the amount of times he wasn’t played in.
I had thought earlier in the game that we should have been marking the guy on the GK at corners, it’s never easy when there’s a bloke on your toes. We needed someone to shift him.
Still lots more to come, Maddison didn’t look fit yet, Bentancur still coming back (his passing was very poor today) and the Afcon players + Son to return.
Pretty deflating as had a good feeling about a cup run but fair play City were good today and really strangled our play.
Let’s string some wins together in the league now.

I’m not a ref that’s for sure but there is nothing black and white in the laws of the game that says that’s a foul
Hes not getting any younger though. 70 minutes and hes burnt out now. We need to add more quality. Top striker priority. Lets be honest playing city is like going to a high stakes poker game with 100 quid and city have an embarassement of riches as stake money. Emphatic theyve bought it. City arent bigger than us. Weve let shit teams overtake us.
I actually think the problem was us starting the game so slowly. That first 15 minutes was backs against the wall stuff. We couldn’t get the ball.
2.35 xG to our 0.27xG says they created at least ... something. I assume their goal was a very high xG chance?
Again, I wasn't able to watch so can't really say. I'd say less Jose style by your description and actually very Pep, he's definitely tactically very capable of mixing it up and having games where his team are cynical but dominant and limit/frustrate teams in a very different way. CL final was a bit like that aside from I think they were a bit nervy that night so Inter created a few chances.
Best in the world. At being jammy cunts!
Yup
We don’t have a right to beat the best team in the world. We had a chance but it was a free hit really.
Early on in the Ange project and this team is still learning to play together.
Need to get angry and fucking destroy Brentford
I applaud levy that hes taken us to 21st century in business. But annoyed hes allowed us to stop winning trophies. Sort of 50/50 with the bloke. Top 4 is a good season for us.
Annoys me when people pull up PEH as a highlight when we had no midfield.
We had zero presence in the middle of the pitch and relied on putting the ball wide
Maybe it did. But we seem to fail in the cups whoever we play and whoever the manager is.
