You can accept the usual excuses for a League Cup exit but nothing can justify that ineptitude of a performance.
The senior players looked like playing today was the last thing they wanted to do and that seemed to transmit to the younger players but we started off brightly with Welbeck showing pace but downhill after that. You lose in a League Cup, fair enough. But to lose in that manner is woeful.
I really feel LVG should have played Rooney at least. He's the fricking captain and has hardly been playing outstandingly well or at least put some back up on the bench but MK Dons probably knew they were going to win as soon as seeing the line-up.
If LVG persists with this 3-5-2 formation and struggles continue, pressure will be on him to, using his favourite here, ADAPT to something more suited.
Liked the look of Pereira though in the second half, some nice crossfield balls. Hernandez was cack and Anderson showed why we'd be torturing the world of football by releasing him and letting him loose for a club to sign..
