It's now 9 nil, but you have to think if Burton get an early goal in the 2nd leg it could be game on.
What does Clough now do? Pick his best team, or blood some squad players?
You have to think the Man City team will be made up entirely of fringe players.
Now here's a question .......if you were a Burton fan would you still go to the second leg now?
I know some go to see the big teams and star players, but for me I only go to see the City play and nowt else.
Not sure if I would still go, but I suppose all the tickets are already sold.
At least Burton will make a bit of money from the half and half scarves.
You wouldn't get to to see this Man City team though would you?I would without doubt still go. A club like burton have massively overachieved to be in the league cup semi finals and regardless of their result against one of the very best sides in Europe, the players deserve the support and recognition for their achievement. Add to that, I’d happily part with the entrance fee alone to watch this Man City team play

Totally agree, in the semi finals so why wouldn’t they play a strong side? It’s surely more patronising to play a team of kids particularly if you are still likely to lose. They then get criticised for not taking the foot off the gas during the game, so what do they do just knock it about and humiliate Burton by showboating for the last 30 mins? Most league one clubs would have been on the end of that type of result and shows the gulf in class but personally I would rather go and play any team at their best rather than a third string side as there is some arrogance or obligation to try and balance the team.I can't see how it's disrespectful.
It's more disrespectful to fans, football and the competition if they are fielding 11 under 18's or something in a semi final.
People need to man up, they are too used to this culture where everybody is a winner.
Suspect the second leg might see that!It's more disrespectful to fans, football and the competition if they are fielding 11 under 18's or something in a semi final.
From Man City's perspective it would be the entirely sensible thing to do and I am sure we would want to be doing the same thing if it was us too.Suspect the second leg might see that!
I wonder if my ticket is still valid.in response to the original question - what about the Anglo Scottish Cup winners Cup of 1987
The 2nd leg was so pointless, we are still waiting for it
Burton should pick their strongest side to show respect to Man City who picked a strong side in the first leg and will have a strong side in this oneBurton should sign 11 fans on a temporary contract for the day and let them play.
