C’mon City
Strong team from Pep
Bit weird changing the entire back line and keeper and retaining a very strong midfield and forward line. Mind you, I wouldn't call the back four weak anyway just completely changed.
Its is amazing how at weekend a penalty can be given for the slightest touch but today a defender can wrestle Sterling to the floor in the box and get away with it. Mind you, he was very generous not booking of theirs for an awful kick on Rodri earlier too.
A middling performance for us first half. We can do much better but it is enough at the moment.
Its always difficult in Cup games , hopefully an early goal second half to settle things
Quarter finals looking good
Rodri doesn't look good ffs
Luckily we can roll out Dinho, hope he can make it through a match or two. The MMA throw on Sterling was quality. Job done, move on.
Pretty smooth win. On to the quarter final we go.
Dinho didn't travel because he's not fit apparently. Swansea were a very dirty side ad the ref had no control.
