***Swansea v City League Cup Official Match Thread***

[carl_feedthegoat]

70 mins against Swansea's B team and we are drawing courtesy of an own goal...it doesn't get any more embarrassing does it.

Half of our team have had fuck all competitive game time . What do we expect? Typical early round cup selection by Pep and in return he gets a typical shite struggling performance that usually relies on first teamers being drafted off the bench to pull us out of the shit. Practically given up with this manager. Can't believe Phillips actually gets on the bench depriving another youth team player of a chance. No one in that first eleven is capable of driving that team forward. We are lightweight.

Some of these players need the minutes. Can't exactly throw in 3 players coming back from long term injury in a premier league match, so this is the perfect opportunity. Always a balancing act in the early rounds of this competition between rotating players and not slipping on a potential banana skin

Excuses excuses and more excuses.

Careful..you will be labelled Entitled and spoilt!

I'm white, retired and very comfortable. I've worked bloody hard to be entitled and priviliged. I watched an old game on youtub the other night, played on the Maine Road mud cake. We got hammered by West Ham but it was a great game. ten times better than the shite we are served up. Our crossing and end product tonight has be diabolical. We are fucking useless at converting possession to attempts on goal and GOALS. Pep will just accept our performance good or bad and move on, We are just treading water with this manager

We have obviously been told by PeP to have even more possession this season and pass even more to the left and right and backwards - how anyone can say we are playing completely differently to last season is in need of therapy.

Not excusing anything. Just stating a fact about the necessity for using this game to give minutes to Cherki, Marmoosh and Ait Nori amongst others.

They needed minutes before this game. Khusanov has been held back, could have played last week, rarely does Pep use 5 subs and put energyy back into a team and minutes into his reserves . More than 15 players and he's fucked knowing what to do or who to pick. Can't play more than one way and can't break down a defence when we have all the possession

[Redna]

No, it's the same. Boring everyone to coma.
