League Cup vs Man Utd (A): Post Match

[SB]

It doesn't at all for me. Cup football is about getting through. No one remembers how well you played. Obviously it gives you hope that we're going in the right direction perhaps, but I'm not convinced we played all that well.

Yeah I get you but we've been gash after half time in all games so far so it's nice to see us put in an effort after HT. I'm looking for positives.

As I said , sometimes it works for you & sometimes against you.

If we beat Sunderland on Sunday and manure drop points against West Brom then this game won't have mattered a jot for both sets of supporters.

Can't disagree with that's at all. The league is our No 1 priority not Cups. We've simply got to get top 4 if we are to entice top players to the Club. History is just that,history.

On the flipside of that though.......a defeat added to the two defeats in a row we already have will matter a great deal.

We should win......we have to bounce back to show what we're made of, several players need to stand up for themselves after some weak performances, Sunderland are a poor quality side etc.
After weighing up those factors.......a 2-0 defeat seems odds on

1 draw & 2 losses now

Ah....I'd let the draw against Swansea slide as I would have picked it out as our toughest game from six, and frankly we were lucky to get a point.
But defeat to Southampton at home, dumped out by Utd and then follow it up with a third straight defeat to ****e like Sunderland in the space of a week would be unimaginable.

£80m+ for Bale. £80m+ for a football player

Says it all really.

Some of the money should go to charity, say 20%. The something good would come out of it.

WOW - that would make sense - some kind of FIFA-tax (oh no - then they would charge 98% for their adminstration/posh-living) - then UEFA-tax (on no - they do the same as FIFA) ... then FA ... (no-no -no -no)....

Then let's win some Cup's at least....!!

Would your continuous and unfair criticism of our captain have anything to do with the fact you believe he had a hand along with Carragher in getting Rafa sacked 3 years ago ?

Lucas wasn't great either last night but I'm sure you'll ignore that because after all Lucas was signed by yep you guessed it Rafa and along with Kuyt was Rafa's golden boy.

Gerrard and Carragher would have been asked about Rafa and who to replace him with - no doubt in my mind.

It won't happen. We'll get the bounce back effect for once.
