    Good performance in the end, great goal from xhaka and controlled game after the pen, even though we were playing against the best striker in the world!

    Excellent result.

    Was a bit concerned in the first half when Perez barely touched the ball but in the second half he came alive and scored two goals and got an assist.

    Xhaka was very good also.

    Just been out for a meal and missed the footie. Great result and brilliant to see Perez getting a couple and another wonder strike from Xhaka I hear ?

    Anybody got a link to the highlights ?

    Good cup draw for us - we drew Reading, Liverpool have got Spurs while the Manchester teams have been drawn together

    We have an impeccable record against them - played 10, won 10.
    Hopefully, we can maintain this 100% record.

    We even gave them a 4 goal advantage several years back and they still couldn't get one over us! <laugh>

    On a serious note, whilst I accept it's not a priority, it would still be nice to win this competition. I know we've been to a couple of League Cup finals in recent-ish years, but we've not won the damn thing for almost 25 years or something like that.

    Plus, it would be good to see us make use of our squad depth and give the youngsters/fringe players a confidence boost!
