**Champs v Swindon Town (A) FAC 7th Jan| Match Thread***

[carl_feedthegoat]

I hope we don’t hear another squeak out of our manager about how “we are killing the players with so many games “ bullshit !

Today is the perfect day to rest most of them and play the youth and if some of you on this site think
Otherwise then you need to give fucking your heads a wobble .

You underestimate and disrespect the oppo Carl. No reason to give our players 2 weeks off. Manchester City need to put out a team to try and win the fa cup. Not develop the careers of some players who might be playing for Swindon in 2 years.

Come off it !! It’s Swindon ffs !
I’m not saying play all 11 youth players but I’d want to see at least 3 or 4 of them start today .

He’s starting one and he’s already played here and there .

Carl - with the very greatest of respect - you're a fuckin lunatic

Should be 1-5 to us and if Bernardo had scored those 3 easy chances it would be 1-8

Yup...for me to want 3 to 4 youth players starting , I'm clearly mad.

[CTID Hants]

Job done, 4th round here we come, the romance of THE cup continues.

No doubt Nigels Tickle will continue to bitch and moan about lack of goals, shit happens.

Onwards and upwards, CTID

Mail suggesting Sterling is warming to a contract extension.

You and Nigels tickle need to get a room......

[Harry Dowd scored]

Job done, well played Swindon at least they tried to play football unlike most teams we pkay, happy with that entertaining game

[Beefymcfc]

Gotta be happy with that and we’ll done to Swindon for giving us a game instead of playing 10 at the back. They were defensive but at least left players up to try and score.

Good to see 4 of our young lads getting to sample how a real game is played against an hostile crowd, that’ll give them confidence for the future.

[Beefymcfc]

Ps. Enjoyed that.

FFS don’t ruin the win

[nottsblue]

Sell De Bruyne now for mega money. Another poor performance amongst many other over the last 18 months

To who?

I'd swap him for Mbappe in a heartbeat

You don't think there would be big queue to sign him?

Every club in the world would want to sign him. But how many could/would offer "mega money"

I'd suggest not many

Got his second wind, another few years back to his best. Get it signed.

[Pretty Boy Lee]

Good win under the circumstances but I’m a bit disappointed the old guy form Cobra Kai scored against us.

[Beefymcfc]

Cole Palmer came across really well for such a young lad.

[nottsblue]

Cole Palmer came across really well for such a young lad.

Yes.

Though if ever they remade the Royle family, he'd fit right in

[zuricity]

Best full back in the world conspicuous by his absence

Shaw?

positive

[john@staustell]

Cole Palmer came across really well for such a young lad.

He did. I have no doubts he can now be a fully fledged first team squad member.

Pep? Whoever knows?

Yep, would you say he’s like ‘Our David’, Antony or Twiggy?

Great spot

Cole Palmer came across really well for such a young lad.

I think he should take Gabbys place in the squad. I've defended Gabby in the past but he has really pissed me off tonight with a totally shit attitude and effort.

He’s getting close, still needs to work though, as he says.

Great to see these players coming through and good to see they are being managed right.

Thought Tin Tin was great tonight. Some daft comments at time on here. Cash in on Tin tin haha !
Really, they were going through the motions tonight. Swindon were clueless, but to be fair that is what
was expected. Shake hands , swap shirts - they are happy ,

I do think he works hard but still gets the yips at times. Says it all that his best position this season was early in the season on the right. Is he a fully fledged CF, I’m not sure.
