Title: v Burton @ Pirelli
Post by: KunDB on January 23, 2019, 18:52:20
Relax guys I am fairly confident we will make the final, even if I have minor doubts still, unlike Pep.

CITY XI | Muric, Zinchenko, Sandler, Garcia, Danilo, Delph, Foden, De Bruyne, Poveda, Mahrez, Aguero (C)

SUBS | Grimshaw, Stones, Mendy, Jesus, F Nmecha, Bolton, Richards

A good few young players included in the squad. Though a bit surprised to see Micah on the bench (joke).

C'mon City

About as expected really. Hopefully, we'll win on the night.

Not bad, would have stuck more kids out and certainly would have rested Kun and kev.

Kun gives us the lead, be good to see the kids get some goals n all.

Kun and Kev shows respect for Burton and their fans and helps their fitness. 

Good experience for kids.

Kun and Kev playing because they need the minutes. I always think you should have a mix in these games anyway. No good playing 11 kids, you need some experience in there. Its great for the Burton folk to see the big names too. Slightly disappointing first half. It was never going to be a great game with the circumstances but I'd like to see the lads doing more going forward second half.

Bloody frustrating second half

I agree, I think we need the mature players to keep things ticking over and to influence the youngsters on the pitch, but playing kev and Kun who are very injury prone seemed a bit daft.

To be honest I think the experience of Delph, Mahrez, danilo, and to an extent, Foden and Zinchenko would have been enough to keep our 9 goal advantage. I'd like to think so anyway!!!

Let’s celebrate we are in yet another final.

Win is a win and good experience for many including the Burton fans.

I couldn't give a shite about the Burton fans, but I do give a shite about keeping our top players fresh and ready for when the dippers slip up again.

Ah well.

Was a boring match.  Sloppy from some of our senior players, but good to get the minutes on the pitch.

Nice to see some of the less experienced youths

Both chavs and spurs put out strong teams tonight.  Will be interestingly to see our line-up in the final

I would have preferred to face Spuds in the final with Kane and Ali missing. I don’t like playing Chelsea, Sari’s teams always have a style that we struggle to break down and they hit us hard on the break.
