0-3, Carling Cup, City of Manchester Stadium, 2/12 -09
Like the last game, I don't really think that the score reflected the game, the youngsters played quite well and kept City at bay for 60 minutes or something, but they couldn't keep it up for the entire 90 minutes, but you didn't really expect them to either against City's full squad!
There were nine changes in the squad, and the likes of Vela, Wilshere, Merida, Ramsey & Eastmond replaced players like Arshavin, Fabregas, Denilson, Eduardo and so on.. xD
In the end we lacked a bit of power and efficiency to score and scoring is the only way to win! But they are still young and are mainly playing to mature and get some experience, so next year they'll be back !!
But we were a little unlucky with the goals as well, two distance shots made the difference, and perhaps we passed a bit too much and finished a bit too little, but let's just hope that they'll learn from this game since some of these players will play against Olympiacos next week since we already got the first place in group H!
Injury Update;
-Sagna is back in the squad after picking up a little knock against Chelsea
-Walcott is out for the Stoke game, he has picked up a small hamstring problem, but it is short term
-According to the boss Gibbs and van Persie is recovering fine after their surgeries.
-Neither Clichy, Bendtner or Diaby will be back in the squad.
