Carabao Cup Final pre-match thread

[Bewar3them00n]

We will a fully rested squad, itching to put Monday night far behind them, I expect City to finish Arsenal in normal time with another fully realised, all round display of brilliance.
Wenger already has his Thursday night excuse/ get out clause.
3-1 City

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.

Go back a few pages and DD explains it:

Pep doesn't make decisions because you are scared of what your United mates might say. He makes decisions which build football dynasties. This isn't even a controversial decsions: all the top clubs do it. You have to recruit an expensive, experienced, probably international goalkeeper as your number 2. This probably means that he has to sacrifice the thing he love, his trade, on a week to week basis. So to sign him and motivate him you tell him that he is the domestic cup keeper, all the way to the final should we get there.

The bigger picture here is that every single player in Pep's squad has to feel he is treated fairly. They have to trust him and respect him. The minute he goes back on his word in this kind of situation he destroys that. They are all Bravo's mate.

Bravo will play and, even though it weakens us, it is the correct decision by a man who knows how to look after a squad of top footballers and has them bonded as a unit.

If it still doesn’t make any sense after reading that then fuck knows what to say.

Arsoles losing 0-2 hope this softens them up for Sunday;-)

 

[SWP's back]

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

Can only assume you don’t know what mind games means.

Go on the sweeds make them play the full 90 mins, every little helps.

I expect us to make hard work of things as usual, but what I would like to see is us give them a good twatting.

Only fair Bravo plays, cup keeper and played all the other games.

But what about Yaya? has played all LC games bar second semi final, fairs fair he deserves to play or no ferdys better?

 

[Blue Til Death]

Bravo will be fine, it's the ref who will be the deciding factor in this game, just like he was on Monday night... A fair ref and City win ...!

 

[San Tropez]

Gen question - how you think Bravo has played this season?

Ignore me, I am biased as I lost confidence in Bravo last season. Then when Ederson started playing I realised a keeper can add considerable offensive power to a team's play, which has compounded my lack of confidence in Bravo. I will probably complain about any keeper who is not Ederson.

The difference is Yaya doesn’t look fit, Bravo is.
