Just about. There is still a few minutes to go though. Borini was on loan that season and impressed before returning to Liverpool, despite the Black Cats' attempts to make it a permanent deal. Another corner.

“All the posh seats on the half way line too. 1 min Here we go. The first sub in the final, Gardner left Sunderland that summer, joining West Brom. Alonso was on loan from Fiorentina and enjoyed his impressive spell on Wearside. Never recovered after eating a doughnut.

@ianmccourt Sun 2 Mar 2014 … League Cup Final 2014: City v Sunderland. “You don’t understand. Imagine saying that with all the players they have got. To not even test the City keeper or defence from that position was criminal. Borini’s speed took him past Demichelis and by the time Kompay got there, Borini was able to hold him off – far too easily it should be said – and curl the ball past Pantilimon from a tight angle.

The Argentine defender Vergini never truly established himself at Sunderland and became one of the players they later struggled to be rid of. The ball is played back inside and switched to the right. City lost the ball in Sunderland half, Cattermole dispossessing Fernandinho, and the Black Cats broke. 88 mins A chance for Sunderland to launch one into the box via a free-kick. Am I alone in my assessment of his general uselessness?” Anyone else feel like this towards Nasri? Sunderland were great in the first half, first to every ball, ensuring that City’s billionaires were kept quite and Borini scored a stunner of a goal. O’Shea looks a little lost, like a kid without his mum in an oversized shopping mall somewhere in mid west America. Half-time cannot come soon enough for the Black Cats. Cattermole, I think, charges forward and curls a ball with the outside of his foot to a rampaging Borini on the right.

It is a risky tactic though, especially given the relative speed of that central pair. JavaScript is disabled. It was a poor effort considering he was close to goal and in a bit of space. That goal from Touré was sensational (as was Nasri’s) and you felt that once that went in, Sunderland would struggle to get back into it. In March 2015 Poyet was sacked, and veteran Dutchman Dick Advocaat was appointed as the club's new head coach, saving the club from relegation.

A few poor passes, a few tough challenges, a few nerves. Fletcher was excellent for us when he first arrived. Fernandinho wins a tackle on the edge of the City box and and sets Touré free. He started off decent then turned to shit.

80 mins A corner to City.

If Sunderland can do that and defend like they did back in that 1-0 win then there is a chance the fans of Sunderland may be the happiest people in England come full-time.

Aye I remember just waiting for him to burst the net when it fell to him. Silva attacks down the left but the Black Cats take care of him and win a goalkick. One of the most frustrating stories of that Poyet team. In one of the biggest shocks in the history of the competition with the favourites having lost, Sunderland won 1–0 to become the first Second Division side to lift the Cup since West Bromwich Albion in 1931. Manchester City, meanwhile, scored 19 goals in process; Sunderland bagged a mere 13. They clear it, but only just. His snap shot is saved well by Mannone.

I’m sorry if this is a well discussed subject but I don’t normally watch matches that Liverpool aren’t playing in.” Prawn sandwiches, Tim, prawn sandwiches. Still think “what if...” to this day, That fletcher chance Hardly got mentioned in the stadium I thought it was a massive chance !! He retired after a poor spell at Sunderland under David Moyes. However, Sunderland do nowt with it and Kolarov hacks it away.

City, by contrast, have spent the season swanning around the top of table, dreaming of more league glory and testing themselves against Europe’s elite elevens. Following relegation from the Premier League in 2017, Swede Seb Larsson decided it was time to seek a new challenge and he joined Hull. He's largely been a bit-part player and has often spoken of his desire to go into management. Gus Poyet was announced as his replacement, and led Sunderland to the 2014 Football League Cup Final, where they were defeated 3–1 by Manchester City.

While Jack Ross' side will be hoping to win this time around, Gus Poyet's side made themselves cult heroes on their way to the League Cup final back in 2014 - with the penalty shoot-out semi-final win at Old Trafford a particular highlight in that incredible run to the final.

City picked the ball up from the tip-off and attacked down Sunderland’s left. Heck even Poyet said in his pre-match presser: “I don’t want to be playing mind games but everyone is expecting them to win.”. We, however, do not, though we shall shortly enough. Zabaleta takes it and Agüero collects.

Gardner aims for the back post but City clear it and Sunderland win a corner. Brown gets his head to it.

“I’m quite good at that,” he said.On the face of it, answering the question of who will win this Milk Cup final should not be such as tough as those posed by Paxman and shunned by Pilkington.
Agüero breaks down the right and squares the ball for the on-rushing Nasri. City swing it across but Colback clears it. They get a throw deep in the Sunderland half. But who is there to save the day for Sunderland and head the ball over the bar from a few yards out? We’d been drinking for a few hours and his lapse into seriousness was troubling. Roker Report reader John shares with us exactly why he thinks we’re in for a long hard season that he believes will not end in success! The City players celebrate. “Tell me: was Martin Demichelis tossed into an active volcano at the half? Ironically enough, under Sam Allardyce the following season, it was a 3-1 defeat at Chelsea that saw Pantilimon lose his place in the team – and, with the emergence of Jordan Pickford, Costel was deemed surplus to requirements, departing the club for Watford in the January transfer window.

A steady drip of drool forms at the corner of your mouth and you have to be slapped back into reality by your partner who screams in anger and demands to know why you no longer look at them in the same way. But not the only #MCFC player under-performing. After three seasons there he joined Birmingham in 2017, initially on loan. “Sacrifice a goat? However, they never came out for the second half.

Manuel Pellegrini secured his first trophy as Manchester City manager as they staged a second-half revival to beat Sunderland and win the Capital One Cup at Wembley. 50 mins Meanwhile, down the other end of the pitch, Nasri picks the ball up on the edge of the Sunderland box.

Poyet will be happy. Die Winter-Transferperiode geht in die heiße Phase. Celebration when Borini scored will live with me forever. Bardsley gets to that ahead of Agüero and boots it away. On Saturday, almost two years after re-signing for his boyhood club, Grant Leadbitter finally completed his Sunderland homecoming. How many of the Sunderland players would make it into the Manchester City team? Do nothing, almost certain goal Messi v. Hart, great opprobrium from fans and commentators for not trying.

Poyet looked furious with him on the sideline and so he should have. Demichelis takes a swing at this one but misses it. 37 mins Colback has just done a wild one on Touré that he is lucky to escape from without a yellow card.
