Was always gonna be hard work, it's friggin City!!!

Awesome start with that 2-goal lead and I honestly believe we'd have scored a 3rd had we kept pressing them high and passed the ball around with the same zip.

We shat ourselves for a bit, lost the physical battles and wasted possession plenty. But it's not like they had that many clearcut chances either...and most of what they had was our mistakes.

Boys showed great spirit, kept working hard, kept believing, showed that togetherness. Last 15-20 mins we were back on top. Ange a lot more alive on the touchline too.

GET IN! COYS!
 
I Was very sceptical at half time but i thought we were comfortable second half and should have won 3 or 4 - 1. Well done to gray. stuck in there and had an excellent 2nd half. Dragu solid imo, bentancur worked like a dog too.
Solanke worked to a standstill. Werner good goal had bad moments but worried city.
Johnson seems to have gone back to his pre goal form offered 0 tonight apart from 1 flick.

Benta, bissouma + maddison/kulu has to be our midfield. Sarr filling in at times
 
Good to win in the end !!!.... but game management especially at the end of games with only a slender 1 goal really needs to be coached , all the big teams do it .... although not sure the players are to blame here too much, feels like its a lack from the management/coaching
Awful game management. Letting our slender lead slip right at the end there. We could be in the next round if only our game management was better.

Lots to learn for a run on the cup next year.
