Which is your choice - some of us have taken notice though because winning games, no matter what the opponent, no matter which competition is important for our progress and evolution as a team, it breeds confidence for the players and a lot of fans and it should be welcomed for at least that reason.

It feels like some people just don't want us to build a winning mentality whilst at the same time complaining that we don't have one.

No, no.
Beating foreign teams that belong in L1 and Coventry who are currently 13th in the Championship doesn't do anything for our building. All it really does, is give some fans a buzz for a while. It could even be more counter productive than helpful. You get arrogant when you win. We got arrogant right up to the 2nd half against Brighton, and when they showed up they knocked us clean out. Thought we were back on track beating a dreadful West Ham and get easily beaten by winless Palace.

would you say the same thing if we won it.

I know it is a big if but we did beat them and we beat them well ultimately without our own star players

Hard to say now. If we got to the final and won against Coventry, a not-interested City and then United play a B team and then we have Southampton and Palace in the semi and the final, it would be hard to really be overly proud of that win.

In 1999 we beat Liverpool and Man United on the way to the final. Liverpool at Anfield.
In 2008 we beat City when we had 10 men, we Woolwich 5-1 and then Chelsea in the final.

TBH, I can't see United doing anything other than trying to go strong in the 1/4 final so my scenario is unlikely.
It's also unlikely Palace and Southampton see off Liverpool and Woolwich. So if we beat United, we're likely to have to play 1 or both of Liverpool and Woolwich to win the whole thing.
I doubt Woolwich would go weak against Us, and I reckon Slott will want an early trophy.

Vicario's a solid if unspectacular keeper. But plenty of the have won titles. I'm more worried about the drop in quality to his understudy.

Like a lot of modern keepers they seem to have no confidence in catching the ball.

Take yesterday’s game when Vicario had an easy cross to just catch but no he double punched it out and gave them possession which led to the corner where we conceded!

Why does it have to be one way or the other? People always ends up in the extremes in here. . You last few posters questening whether City cared to win, think there maybe could be a middle road between going all in, and not give a shit?

Not bringing on Haaland, probably had to do with that he can't play every game. Every club being in numerous competitions needs to rotate, to not run the best players into the ground. Also, more players need game time, and the League cup is often used for rotation, especially early rounds, as did we to some degree.

Does that mean City didn't want to win the game? No way.

So at one nil down chasing the game bringing on a centre back is tactical.

Fuck me im dealing with idiots.

The city team we beat the other night was better than all of them teams you mentioned except that Chelsea team in the final.

Il be honest I don't give a crap if we beat a team who puts out x y and z.

Noone cares in 2,3 5, 10 years time.

Do you think Liverpool fans give a shit that they beat Pochettinos worst Tottenham team with a midfield of Winks and Sissoko an unfit Kane?
