Height isn't all that matters
As we all know, the defeat at City was the 2nd 3-0 in a row, also the 3rd defeat too.

There isn't much cause for alarm given the fact that the Carling Cup is a competition to blood the youngsters who definitely aren't world beaters. As it is now, even the non-injured first teamers aren't world beaters either.

I don't know if it would have made a difference if a first team were put out there, to be honest.

I only managed to wake up for the last 10 minutes and I'm not the kind who turns off the TV before the game ends, even when they're being humiliated. Watch them lose I did. And I caught the 3rd goal which was no more than a sucker punch really.

I saw Alex Song get cautioned and hence missing the next game which is the visit of Stoke City.

I think it's going to get very nervy everytime they get a throw-in in our half of the pitch. We've got the bunch of shorties out there and now even Theo's injured.

Clichy, Bendtner and Diaby are probably 2 weeks away from a return.

People think we lack height and blah blah blah, but look at Bendtner and Diaby. They, the 2 people who have scored own goals from set pieces when they were supposed to defend it. The irony. Vermaelen isn't the tallest of central defenders yet when he has the willingness to go for the ball, he can put off even Peter Crouch. Sometimes it isn't about height but desire.

That's probably something the boss would be preaching. He is going through a rough time now staring at the defeats and Mark Hughes making a big hoo-ha about the handshake snub. He handed us our 3rd defeat in a row. He probably has to look back at why Wenger shook Steve Bruce's and Carlo Ancelotti's after those games yet denied him one.

A win has to start tomorrow and hopefully it does. I'm pretty sick of watching the team lose and post match, it's always the same excuses. The players have to take responsibility for it and want to make a difference otherwise, the road downhill is going to continue.

City have drawn United in the semis and that's just super funny. It's like United is going to be the one who'll destroy Hughes again after he thinks he has won something.

And we, Singaporeans, can totally just say screw you Starhub, we don't care about Carling Cup coverage.
