Swansea: Post Match

[kris90210]

Jones had a cracking game tonight.

He's still not good enough.

Im not having a go mate but people who say theyre not that fussed were out werent so indifferent when we won it last season.

That's a bit different though... first trophy in six years, knocked out Chelsea and City along the way, etc. I'm sure most wouldn't have been arsed if we'd been knocked out early on last year either.

[el matador]

i actually was.

Silverware is silverware at the end of the day dave. I might be in the minority here but for me it was important.

[Gibbo]

I still think if our defence is more solid we in the game.

[Rich]

Capital One Cup = who cares!

The owners certainly don't.

I believe it was too, hence kick in the teeth.

I am pissed off as I really value the competition. But it was clear in the summer that cups are a big second to league position. I've had to re-adjust my expectations accordingly. Tonight I accepted prior to kick off it could be a difficult night. It was. Hence I am now calm and at ease with life.

i'm just saying, i think i described it as "nice, but not that important" or something to that effect. which is not to say that i blame you for thinking it's important, but don't mischaracterize my reaction at the time or substitute it for the one you imagine i had.

[danperkins]

Hazard is quality, United out too!

[Mostar]

We've lost the second half 2-1 with a respectable team on the pitch. No excuses.

in fairness we had to open up as we were chasing the equalizer.

Our performance in the first half was appalling.

[Fredo]

Think i've said apologist about 3 times in mylife Nige.

Course he needs time, he will get it and rightly so... not his fault got screwed over in transfer market!!! but performances and results have to improve. There has to be some sign of progression.

You say it all the time, it's either your favourite term or your vocabulary is limited, taking into consideration those 3 times you said it.

Anyway, of course performances have to improve but **** me, it's not going to happen overnight with a threadbare squad like ours, and so early on into Rodgers' tenure? Don't be ridiculous please.

I'm gutted because I thought we had another good chance this season to go far in it and maybe get to another final. Thought we'd walk over Swansea tonight.

I would love to hear you lot if we played a full strength team and Suarez got injured.

**** team for a **** comp.......great if we have a squad, but it should always be treated as the 3rd most important comp we were in. Once again Brendan gave some fringe players an opportunity to shine as we didn't really have a choice, I understand why and I understand why they didn't take there opportunity, They are really really ****. Our youth are the new first team so unless he played the U15's in this tournament I can see why he played the likes of Drowning and Cole.
