Almost 3-0. I know this cup does not count for much or the team we put out is not near our best but i am a little depressed. 74,000 fans watching this just makes it worse.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.
He's 19. Give him time, you wont see much promise in the next couple of months. I said before, he will take time, at least one season. But there is no point in buying young players if they dont get any time to develop
Fair to say PIG is not #1 quality?
Exactly, and the reserves can play in their own league
so hows about a sing song then?
Martin, Bardsley and Eagles have done nothing to change my view that they should not have been kept on this season. Evans and Simpson have both ended up playing at LB so it's hardly a fair reflection on them.
I 'd have far preferred to see Hewson and Brandy out there. Looks like they'll have to wait till next year now.

Coventry playing this out with plenty to spare.
This was Coventrys cup final. Everyone of their team would have been up for it. This was never going to be a walk over! We should have shown them a little more respect and played a few more experienced players.
I knew as soon as i saw the line up that we'd fail to win.
I mean why no Rooney or Saha on the bench? We had no options on the bench whatsoever.
This is right.
No. But it's the C. Cup. It's not a big trophy, unless you're a scouser. It doesnt matter if we're out, the League, FA Cup, CL, that's the 3 trophies that matter!
Yeah.And so can the arse,dippers and Renties.So what's your point.
I'm not too concerned about the scoreline but the thing that will piss me off is how spasticated the press will be tomorrow regarding our loss...........
Manchester United "sent to Coventry"
"United Mifsud their chances to win"

Totally agree. The fans that turned out tonight deserved better. Think of all the poor sods that are season ticket holders that were forced to pay for this shambles tonight!!
I don`t care that much about the League Cup, one less game for us to collect injuries and suspensions.
Got to feel for the 57000 who were made to shell out for a miserable performance though. They should almost get an apology.

this is crap reseves ,2nd team whatever but this is crap
I was glad to go out last season. But its different this season. What the feck do you do with all these players?
I dont know what's worse, the scousers on our backs and calling us shite after our youth side lose to Coventry in the Carlington Cup or United fans getting angry because our youth side loses and the very young players didnt deliver
Next Kleberson and Bellion
I'm not that bothered about being knocked out of this tournament but what worries me is the lack of depth in the squad. I thought we had a decent second string with eagles, martin etc. but from the performance tonight I am having severe second thoughts!
Watch some of these lot in the United side tonight get loaned out to Championship sides after tonight....
This is true. Feel a bit sorry for the United fans, paid lots of money for a rather poor performance. But beside that, it's not a big deal if we lose tonight
I feckin hate it when we lose, even when it's the mickey mouse cup.
Call me a muppet, but this is just unacceptable. Weaste might have his own reasons for being happy but being a European Giant, playing at home infront of 63000 supporters and losing to a championship side when you have your 2nd best keeper, 2 midfielders that have cost a fortune and your 2 future center backs? Of course this means nothing about the League or the CL but it makes you think, what to expect from those promising young players. Of course Dong is shite and now it's more than just official...
If this was FM07 we'd have won 5-0 with goals from Dong (2), Eagles, Campbell and Bojan
The media. ABUs. Watch as this forum now fills up with "guests" too.
Welcome gloating guests. Everyone wave. Their middle fingers.

Even worse, as we spent so much on them. Sack Glazer, sell Fergie
Our season is over
TrueWhatever people say, we have shown in recent years that our second string are crap. SAF has shown disrespect to Coventry (or to the Carling Cup) by fielding a poor team. My compatriot Michael Mifsud has rightly punished United and we should get him instead of the useless Dong and a few other players. Get him in January so that all of us Maltese United fans will be proud that a local lad has played for United. Won't sell as much shirts as Dong though!! Even if all of us Maltese buy a United shirt with Mifsud on it, it'll be only 400,000 and that's counting children and women.
Glad for the lad though - well done Michael.

It's gonna be a big night for them, probably the biggest for them this season... And Torres is god
agree.
C'mon you should be beating Cov with your resrves.
I'll flash my tits
I'd take Mifsud over Dong. I'd take most coventry players over Dong.
my point is that its a competition designed for lesser teams..... to be honest id put the charity shield down as a more worthwhile cup to win....
arse, pool and chelski will still be floundering around playing whomever in their squad while we can get to rest players..... is that clear enough for you or will i draw you a diagram?
"long ball forward"
"XYZ knocks it long"
"United go long"
"XYZ looks to go long"
