Faupala Iheanacho
Celina Garcia(A) Fernando Garcia(M)
Kolorov Demichellis Adarabioyo Zabaleta
Cabellero
I'm rather looking forward to this!!
be beautiful if we do em...young lads hungry to impress..
Shame kolarov, fernando and Demichelis are playing ;D
Has he gone a little OTT with the kids? A possible thrashing won't do their confidence any good at all.
Too few kids earlier in the cups and too many now. Poor management.
fuck it, only cup. nice day out for the lads
Fuckin cabelero
Demichelis and Willy looking like they will be the ones fucking it up
I've always rated that cabalero!! :D
Not going too shodily.
Nice to see Faupala on the score sheet, looks a "busy" forward.
Need to control the mid a little more, tick Fernando on Fabregas
The big lad at the back looks a good prospect too.
Fabregas and Pedro seem to be getting a little too much room.
Decent effort from the lads first half but I just get the feeling it will be too much for them. We haven't got the ball to Celina enough but it is obviously very tough against the class in Chelsea's side.
We actually paid money for Cabellero??? FFS.
Oops
Scary thing is he'll be in goal next Sunday!
He's having a fucking mare.
Pelle is gone come summer and with him Cabellero dropping first team goalie for cup games playing a high line against midfield runners and not playing kids in a Carling Cup but 6 in FA Cup big game.
I feel sorry for the lads. They have been let down by the manager and the keeper. A few of them have shown that they would have been fine to play as part of a more experienced side overall. That should have been done in the earlier rounds and in the League Cup. The manager has let them down by playing too many of them at once at a top team like Chelsea and his comments in the press conference didn't give them much chance either. Any sympathy I had for Pellegrini has gone.
That went well, for a while. I know he's a kid and all but godamnit Adarabioyo, that was shite. Oh and every regular should be shot, especially that sorry excuse of a goalie and kolarov.
The kids were let down by the usual shite who have let us down all season Kolarov, Demichelis, Fernando and Caballero.
Well played lads. Those 4 should be ashamed
well a team full of zoros played a team of embryos ending in the inevitable result ::)
There were 3 senior players that let the kids down really.
Cabellero, had a feckin mare!
Demi, it should have been Kompany or ota. Demi has no pace. I thought the pen against him was disgraceful.
Fernando. He needed to step up in CM, he was largely absent. Needed more drive and to give direction to the kids.
no-one is to blame other than Pelli;he picked the team. Further, when the draw was made he said then that he would field a weakened team as City's priority is the CL, which on that note, City will not make the next round. the club is screwed up at the moment with all the backroom dealings by the club; the club is destroying itself from within.
Making the Chumps as a priority is understandable.
Financially we get more
Must do well to secure fourth place entry next year
Never won it before (Not that I'm deluded to think we will this season)
However, could have done with a bit more of a sprinkling of 1st teamers
We needed to be a bit beefier in midfield or at least take off one of the front two and put an extra body in there.
Nacho and Faupala(?) weren't too bad but they'd little or no support or service, Adarabioyo looks a decent prospect and I'd like to have seen him with Kompany if only because I'm not too sure how good Demi's English is.
soon as a i seen demi was playing we were gonna be fooked..he really is bobbins
Caballero, Demichelis and Fernando were easily our worst players. Tells you all you need to know.

He's not bobbins, he's just too old for the league, happens to the best of them, just some don't realise it.
The manager hung him out to dry really

come on tony he's bobbins..there are defenders same age as him or older and better..it's piss poor he started at all today when adarabioyo should have at least played with humphreys..least they know each other and play together with the eds and are both quick....and where did bobbins end up at the end in... fuckin midfield..says it all..he's shit..end of
I don't think he's good enough to play for us anymore that's true., but I think he was a solid defender for us for a while. Think 2e maybe on cross points.
His lack of pace does not suit our style at all and yes I agree with you, ade would have been better off playing with humphreys or another cb.
Do you think pellers hung Demi and fernando out to dry to show bergerstain they're shit? Internal bollock-ticks n'all that jazz?
how long is a while, any stats?
he was dogshit when he started, had a few decent months and is now just slow dogshit
weird decison to play the kids and a bloke old enough to be the dad of most of them
Well if Demichelis fathered most of the team there's little wonder he's so shagged out.
at least he would have a go, yaya would settle for a wank and call it a day
:D

steve has hit the nail on the head...if it was stevie he'd have hit the head with the nail
Why rest a goal keeper
Did you predict what Stevie was going to say? :o
Caballero could not be as shit as that again if he tried.

I reckon we could have rested the full eleven and still have fielded a stronger side.
