Wigan (a) pre-match thread

[VOOMER]

Cook will tell his players to kick us of the pitch.

Something like this lineup would balance rotation with enough quality to see us through to the next round.

Silva for Foden and that's the line up

 

[MCFC1993]

Think we should go strong and take it serious but there's a couple of youngsters that should be around this game.

-------------------------Bravo
Danilo--------Stones---------Laporte--------Zinchenko
----------------------Fernandinho
-------------KDB/Silva----------------Foden
Bernardo-------------Aguero---------------------Sane

Subs: Muric, Walker, Dele-Bashiru, Diaz, Gundogan, Silva/KDB, Nmecha

That's assuming the info about Sterling and Otamendi being given the night off is correct.

In regards to youth involvement, I'd like to see at least 1 start, Foden or Diaz amongst a strong squad should be good enough. I'd like to see Tom Dele-Bashiru in the squad as well, he surprised me at Leicester with his little cameo, thought he was very good.

Yep Bravo tomorrow, but i think Pep has hinted Ederson For Sunday.

Eh??

Pep’s said clearly that Bravo will play the Final as he’s the reason we’re there in the first place ...

Bravo deserves to play and I think Pep will pick him but remember Pants was dropped for Hart in the 2013 final.

I think Bravo will do ok against Wigan - will be more concerned about how he will play against Arsenal but he deserves to start.

Don't remember Guardiola dropping pants for Hart.

Don't remember Guardiola dropping pants for Hart.

There's a rumour that he only drops them for 2 people, his mrs and Messi......

Think Merlin could do with some game going into Sunday. Missed a decent amount of time so even a half would help his rythum come back. Same with Leroy if possible

 

[Dave Ewing's Back 'eader]

There's an article in the DT that informs us that Pep was very nearly a Pie Eater. Wigan, Qatar or Mexico!

Ederson is fundamental to how we play from the back calmly, and picks out superb passes. I don't see any room for sentiment in the final, if we play Bravo it gives Arsenal a boost straight away, and I think it'd be the same if he plays against Wigan tonight. They'll pump balls in and close him down. We should just pick the side most likely to win the game, and definitely in the final on Sunday. Don't risk a trophy and win over Arse, it's obvious Eddie is far better in goal and with his distribution. Why deliberately handicap ourselves!?
