0-0 and this is a really disappointing result. We should have win this game comfortably but we failed to breakthrough the packed Birmingham defense. The big question is whether Torres should have started this game, and I think he should. I just can't see him to play in the League Cup so he should start in the league as well. Anyway it is still early in the season and we have lots of chances to catch up.
