Willy and cleansheets just don't seem to be compatible.

Annoying but no more than that. Are the semis played at Wembley?

Two legged, home and away

The two legged semi-finals you mean?

The home and away semi-finals you mean?

[iwasthere2012]

That was Trannyesque. I mean did you see the dip on that ball? Wow.

Great strike but in fairness what were the goalkeeper and defender on the line doing, besides looking at it sail between them.

Each left it to the other.

Job done. Silva head and shoulders above the rest. KDB another great game. Delph did well. Otamendi looked good, Bony put his goal away, and I really love that kid NACHOMAN.
I just like the way he plays football. He is going to get better and better.

A good night all in all.

[blues2win]

Ok Slim. Point taken!

[Dub City]

Job done, Would have been nice for one of the other young players to get a run at the end replacing Silva with the game looking safe but overall very positive performance until the stoppage time brain fart at the back letting them in. I do like the look of their left back, thought he looked quality for them last season.

[Peter Doherty (AGAIG)]

A relatively nerve-free performance. Well done, chaps!

Disappointed Garcia didn't get a run out. But all the subs were done by the time the pressure was off.

No complaints at all tonight, not even with their equalising goal ;-)

Hull did look poor and seemed to be conserving energy but Manuel played a blinder. We moved the ball really well and the injection of pace at the end really found Hull out.

Those are the games you have to enjoy and not complain too much about when we're already back in the dressing room, looking at the next game, when they get a consolation.

Good overall performance, definitely a B+.

You can say that now!

We had just gone 3-0 up when the last change was made, I know Demichelis was ready to come on but at that stage could have changed it and sent Garcia on into Silva role

[Ray78]

A good performance on the whole.The defending leading up to the goal wasn't the best (Otter's fault) but it was a very good finish from Robertson.

There's a lot of senior players to pacify, maybe Pellers is looking at the bigger picture, keeping those players happy.

[blues2win]

In post match presser Pellegrini says he's hopeful Aguero and Hart will be fit for Saturday lunchtime against Sunderland. Happy days...

[Beefymcfc]

Ha ha ha, just watching SSn and they've got the exact same crowd noise for every single goal. Funny, I'm fairly sure that there weren't many Hull fans at the end.

Just shows how the media can interpret/misinterpret everything in a game. Fuck, Shearer does it every week.

Still would have preferred to see Garcia, rather than Demi. The lift the kid would get, is worth more than the boost for Demi, in my opinion.

It's a fair comment mate. I'd prefer to keep them hungry, they haven't proved fuck all yet.

With the players we've got, they are earning their way, we shouldn't just give it them and watch them go down the line of so many who have failed to deceive.

[Beefymcfc]

Ps. Night folks, I'm going to sleep a happy Blue.

Id be a lot happier if he was fit before we play Sunderland. There's a few import at games between now and then :)
