Carabao Cup Final pre-match thread

Bravo wasn't at fault in the second leg, and in fact it was his pass in the first leg that we got back in the cup tie.

No decision to be made on goal keeper. Pep has clearly promised bravo he will play. People need to get over it. Hopefully he can be our hero just like willy a few years ago.

I thought we had agreed this Bravo stuff had been done to death ;-)

I thought you would duck it - lets move on

you can't duck what if's and you know that as more than 2 things happen in a game, what you can do is base your opinion on what the players have done to date,it's not difficult to understand,you dodged the bristol game,that actually happened,you know a real event

Ederson was brought in because Bravo wasn't good enough. First final we reach with Pep and Bravo plays above Ederson, it doesn't make sense.

Because Bravo has been good enough this season

if a few of them fuck up we can moan about the team,if as with the bristol away game we ship 2 goals and are a minute from extra time then bravo would get the shit if kev hadn't of bailed him out with a last minute goal,instead of your silly mind games lets wait and see what happens

We weren’t a minute from extra time were we? Kev’s goal made it 3-5 aggregate - we were going through anyway (thanks largely to Bravo’s performance in the first leg).

That’s as well as two penalty shoot outs and saving a one-on-one in the last second against Wolves to keep us in the competition.

Feck me!!!!! What's all the doom and gloom about we are in the final.

If the fans are this negative now, what' the point in the team turning up.

And if next season Ederson gets injured like Neuer has this year, yet we still win trophies because we have a top nunmber 2 , because the reserve keeper trusts his manager not to stab him in the back ? Because whoever is number 2 next year or the year after will be influenced by the decision Pep makes for this final.

Some interesting thoughts,but if Ederson does get a serious injury i think the club will simply buy another keeper , Bravo isnt good enough long term , my concern is Sunday and winning the final , and hopefully when Bravo is called into action he doesnt do his impression of a hologram and instead plays like the ex-Barca international keeper who arrived with a reputation as world class.
