Look at tonights results, Burton have knocked out Bournemouth, Oxford have smashed West Ham, Sunderland have put out Sheff Utd, and ManU and Wolves could only draw at home against lower league sides.
Hardly any serious team gives a fuck about this nonsens cup and neither should we. The best thing about it is that you can give the likes of Parrott some serious game time.
 
Sounds like something Brendan Rodgers said a few years back. Spurs Bear. Paul Lambert. Jumpers for goalposts.

The point I'm trying to make is that it really wasn't a catastrophically bad performance. We weren't outplayed, or even out battled, we were just a bit fucking toothless, but we have that problem most of the fucking time, it was hardly going to be improved by playing 3CB's, 2 CM's who are for different reasons not regulars, and Moura, Alli and Parrott up top was it?

You're a real pain in the hole at times.

Is that our level now? West Ham and Sheffield Utd???

We played like absolute shit, stop trying to pretend Colchester produced some incredible defensive display and we dominated, like come on mate.
 
I totally agree with you. Players need to give 100% all the time. Especially players like we played vs Colchester, who are fighting for playing time!

But let’s be clear, Man City wins League Cups because their second string is good enough to easily win their early round matches and then they (like us) play their first team if they get deep into the competition. Our second string is way worse than their second string. Doesn’t excuse losing to Colchester of course.

In the end though, I just don’t care about the League Cup. Hopefully Poch can use the loss as a motivational point for the rest of the campaign.

Yeah that will spark us into a title challenge.
Convinced of it.

Oh no, we can’t win that either because City’s second string are too good.....FA Cup? Nope, might as well go out to Oxford as that will motivate us to win the CL.....oh no that’s right we’ll be knocked out in the groups but that’s good because all these cup defeats will motivate us to scrape 4th...

WOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
