Carabao Cup Final pre-match thread

What's their most probable line up? Ospina in goal? Is Ramsey fit? Micky Tarian not eligible?

Good pitch. Sane and Silva will be much fitter. Hopefully Raheem is back along with Otamendi. City will win.

Do I sense a wee bit of flapping on here after last night. We'll be well up for this no doubt and will be playing on a perfect surface. Just play our game and it'll be fine. Bravo wasnt the worry last night at all. Walker fucked up and a few other OUTFIELD players were off it. Pep has basically moulded the starting 11 based on yesterdays team:

Bravo
Walker Otamendi Kompany Zinchenko
KDB Fernandinho Silva
Sterling Aguero Sane
​

Simply lovely that. 3-1 City

Ederson has to play.
If he does we win.
Bravo adds jitters to the team and is ordinary at best.

City have been the best team in the country all season so with this showpiece (of sorts) I expect them to put on a great display and not just win but win in style. Silva and Aguero to shine and maybe the sun will too. City 3-0.

I think Pep may leave Sane as a potential impact sub and start either Gundogan or Bernardo instead.

I don't think either of those did their chances any favours last night. They've both played most games recently too.

Think he'll go with as @Cotton Weave Blue predicted. Maybe Danilo for Zinchenko given he's better defensively, and Arsenal's only threat is their forward line.

i can see value in choosing either Keeper Bravo has kept us alive in this competition , and those wishing to lay blame at his door for the wigan goal are 1 using him as our regular scapegoat and 2 forgetting Walker and to a lesser extent Stones involvement However, Ed is our first choice Goalkeeper and in a final and as PEP is still to win a bean i would forgive him if Vinny is holding silverware at the end Personally i think he will do what Pellers did in our last final by sticking with WC hope it has the same ending

No he doesn't
You don't know or can prove that
This gets thrown out there as gospel. Which players have told you this?

 

[Goater=Legend]

Had the same discussions over Pantilimon then we had it with Cabellero and now Bravo.

When will people learn

This is the first time I have put us to lose, the reason is the Bravo factor, he plays we lose, Ederson plays we win, that is the equation, if it’s hinted Ederson plays I will change my vote.
