Ben played well in his role- won a couple key challenges, hit the deck hard a few times, passed very crisply! Hes much better a CB than people give him credit for, and especially as a backup lefty- we are VERY fortunate to have him, and especially so not being a dramatic whiner, and an actual team player and mature human being. I was very glad to see still has it today. Consummate professional, no doubt.
Just where are those Davies bashers when you want to rip into them?
 
The team they put out was still very much Guardiola Ball. I did not see any compromises in their style of play at all. As far as I'm concerned, we beat Pep Guardiola's Man City. Full stop.

And, as others have said, we rested players as well,so it was very much a level playing field. It wasn't our first team against the kids.
That’s why he’s a great manager, the players may change but his style and football don’t. As it should be.

Do we have anybody in the media team that can tell him to look at the camera when speaking? I hope they’re not afraid to do that..

Why does he keep staring at the floor when being interviewed? That’s not body language that looks particularly confident.

It’s been said before mate and people who do that tend to have limp clammy handshakes!

My hackles go up every time I meet someone like that!
 
Pleased with that result. Can’t complain about another home draw either. Let’s hope this signifies a point in our season.

Could we be on course for a repeat of the great Juande Ramos semi finals against Woolwich?

Be nice to see the stadium absolutely rocking for a league cup semi final. Been a while.
Of all the points in our season, last night most certainly was one of them...
 
Great performance, they had their heads right and were able to fully manage the game against the best side we've played this season.
This is why I feel positive with Ange, we have seen glimpses of this future, but this was the best one perhaps. The key is mentality and consistency.. once we achieve those, we will be very strong and not so easy to rollover. The last thing is managing to deal with Palace type stuff, although I dare say if their heads were as good as this game they would have coped fine.

Thank you to @ Bill Madrid for your no nonsense match thread title. I believe this is the blueprint, keep it simple and respectable.
Sorry I have no clue how to tag properly I'm on my phone and icons don't make any sense.
