da roleta: Manchester City cruised to a 3-1 victory over local rivals Manchester United on Tuesday night.
da dobrowin: The result puts Pep Guardiola’s side firmly in the driving seat to progress to the showpiece final at Wembley next month, and on the evidence of last night’s display there’s little doubt they’ll have the chance to win their third successive Carabao Cup at the home of English football.
Bernardo Silva’s virtuoso display in a new look false-nine role stole the headlines for the visitors, while the collective display left the media purring.
But not every individual came in for esteemed praise on social media as fans took to Twitter to criticise Raheem Sterling’s display.
The typically reliable goal-machine lacked the conviction in the final-third that we have become accustomed to in recent years, and fans certainly didn’t cut him any slack.
Some fans simply slammed his display on the night but others suggested this was more than just a one-off.
Given Sterling has started 27 games in all-competitions this season, perhaps all he needs is a game or two to recuperate on the substitutes bench.
But there was no such sympathy for the physical demands placed on the 25-year-old from this supporter, who rated his display a 0/10.
Finally, two particularly disgruntled supporters urged the club to sell Sterling in light of his display last night.
Perhaps they will be rethinking their stance after sleeping on it…
