Dammit City, could've made this a real game
Probably the same as with Schneiderlin and Schweinsteiger now. That club is just ruining players.

I think Man City will take this, I thought they did well against Barcelona, Might have gotten a result if they focused more on defense.
Should be a good game, both times have something to prove today.

Sadly, Schneiderlin, Schweini and Micki is probably a better midfield 3 than what United have been putting out lately.

To be fair to Man City, the one non-experienced player is that Maffeo kid.
Didnt that guy hastily leave Dortmund without much warning either? That's the worst luck to have.
0 shots on target in the first half (unless I fell asleep and missed one).

Nothing special so far.
Cheers. I'll put it on if a goal happens.

Time to put it on
Mourinho parking the bus already. He has to save the season. Time for John Obi Mikel to enter the pitch Mou.
Ibra keeps missing the target. Maybe Wenger was right. Oh no....
He's either on Mourinho's doghouse or his injury is more severe than initially said, so he's in Mourinho doghouse. Apparently Shaw left the place after almost 2 months in it.

Game on!
I know it's a small sample size but last week match vs Fenerbahce and this one vs. B-team Man City really show how Carrick positively impacts the team as a holding midfielder.
Of course he can't last the entire season at his age but it shows how much they need a true holding midfielder that can make the right pass and cover the space with efficiency. Herrera can pass but he's not a true holding midfielder for a team like United. Maybe a sub as a number 8 but not much than that.

If Zaza had scored it would've been perfect.
Got a few mates there tonight. Shame about the trouble. I don't wanna say it was inevitable but... Everyone had a feeling something might happen. Self fulfilling prophecy. Just hoping folks get away safely.
I'll take Leeds at home.
Only watched the second half, but was surprised at how weak the City team selection was, I know they have way more important competitions to focus on, but still if Klopp did something similar to Everton or United I'd be pissed, do it in the next round if you want out, not against your biggest rivals.

Atmosphere was immense tonight. London Stadium's first 'under the lights, cup game against a rival' and it didn't disappoint. Shame about the crowd trouble but I put the blame solely at the door of the higher ups within our club who've tried to sterilise the environment and neglected to have appropriate stewarding/policing which has just antagonised our fan base.

It was nice to beat City even if it wasn't a full strength City. The midfield was able to pass the ball and look pretty comfortable with Herera and Carrick starting. Rojo actually defended well, thought he was less shaky then Blind. On the downside there goes a bunch of players going for the full 90 again in a useless competition. Mkhitaryan nowhere to be spotted, Martial nowhere to be spotted. No chance Carrick plays at the weekend. Losing to Burnley at the weekend is more devastating then some league cup game.

Claims that homophobic anti-Chelsea song sheets were distributed at #WHUCHE are being investigated.

Claims that homophobic anti-Chelsea song sheets were distributed at West Ham's London Stadium are being investigated.
Hammers fan Nadeem Qureshi posted an image of one of the flyers, urging fans to sing homophobic lyrics about Chelsea captain John Terry, on social media.
Qureshi told BBC Radio 5 live that the leaflets were being handed out before the home side's 2-1 EFL Cup win.
"It was quite idiotic and a bit disgusting," he said.
Qureshi told BBC Radio 5 live's Afternoon Edition that the song sheets seemed to be being handed out by "one person being moronic" and said no fans were singing the chant.
BBC Radio 5 live sports news correspondent Richard Conway, who was at the game, said he heard no evidence of homophobic chanting.
The match was marred by crowd disorder with the police making seven arrests.
In a statement, the Metropolitan Police said its investigation into the disturbances will include "a leaflet handed out before the match containing homophobic contents".
West Ham told BBC Sport it was "investigating the alleged distribution of these flyers" and would "take the strongest possible action against those responsible".
Anti-discrimination group Kick It Out said it had "received reports of homophobic literature being distributed" and had reported it to the Football Association, which is also investigating.

Hope the guy handing out the fliers gets a nice perma ban and a visit from OB.
Yep, the real problem is the BBC... not the homophobic chants or leaflets /s.
