That was a long time ago,not sure i would fancy vinny for this one but you may be right that nico and vinny are the better fit,vinny has looked very shaky on the ball, i thought he would play v wigan actually,i think he would have been good leading john,i hope pep picks our strongest team,nothing is more important than a cup final,no time for tinkering or out of form players
Nothing easy about it , if it was easy then thats the decision Pep would make. There are many things to consider not least the trust and morale of the squad long term, if we lose it wont be because Bravo plays but even if it was it might be a price Pep thinks is worth paying for the bigger picture long term success of our squad.It beggars belief we are having to debate this, it’s such an easy decision, you play your best players in a final. Therefore Eddie should play.
Fair comment you make about Ederson getting injured and Bravo having to step in, but surely that’s how it is for a stand in player, you could say the same for outfield players who had played in earlier rounds. You get measured these days on trophies won, so for me it has to be your strongest team, ruthless? Yes, but that’s the name of the game in modern football.Nothing easy about it , if it was easy then thats the decision Pep would make.

What if Bravo was drooped then a week later Ederson was injured how motivated would Bravo be then ?
Sane and sterling have to play as they will pin the arses back,i don't want any fancy formation just go back to what worksI have a funny feeling Pep could spring a surprise and play Laporte at left back with Komps and Otta in centre ... or play three of them at the back with Walker and Zinchenko as wingbacks ... and leave Sane on bench (or Sane as left wing back as he tried once before, I know it didn’t go well for him that game but you never know he might try that again).

Least important or not don't you want to win it now we are there? strangeGiven thats your veiw, why do you thing Pep will pick Bravo, why would a manager that has won so mant trophies and lives to win trophies pick Bravo. Seems obvious to me his only reason would be in the long run it will make us a better and more successful team, in my opinion he's right, the carabao cup despite being a final is our least important target.
On Sunday it is our most important and only target until the day after. Picking your best players increases the liklihood of achieving the target.Given thats your veiw, why do you thing Pep will pick Bravo, why would a manager that has won so mant trophies and lives to win trophies pick Bravo.

Fair enough, let’s agree to differ, I want City to win whoever plays, it just gives me stress when Bravo plays, and, I think Wenger will target him.Given thats your veiw, why do you thing Pep will pick Bravo, why would a manager that has won so mant trophies and lives to win trophies pick Bravo.

Daft question, and dont think Bravo makes a lot of difference if we lose it will be down to others not playing well as much as Bravo.Least important or not don't you want to win it now we are there? strange
He is 35,goes down in stages,rubbish,i would think any younger keeper would back himself and want to play for pep so i don't think we will be finding it difficult to find one,another eddie and it's no problem to play them in a final as there isn't a drop off in quality is thereDaft question, and dont think Bravo makes a lot of difference if we lose it will be down to others not playing well as much as Bravo.
Look at it like this Bravo is 35 and will soon need replaciing by a decent quality keeper, lets say we think its Gunn he will look at a chance to win cups and be on the bench for other games, dont you think if he sees Bravo get us to a final and be dropped he might think twice about coming back ?
No chance we get a young reserve keeper as good as Ederson happy to play second fiddle and considering Ederson ihas at least 10 years left then that second keeper needs to be able to trust his manager which is exactly why Pep will pick Bravo and in the long run City will be better for it.He is 35,goes down in stages,rubbish,i would think any younger keeper would back himself and want to play for pep so i don't think we will be finding it difficult to find one,another eddie and it's no problem to play them in a final as there isn't a drop off in quality is there
It's Pep's choice we're backing, not Juliet.I hope all those who are backing Bravo will be doing so if he has yet another shocker.
Tbf I was less than happy with Willy pre the dipper game but good on him.I hope all those who are backing Bravo will be doing so if he has yet another shocker.
Not without a goalkeeper we wouldn't.I'd be tempted to go 3-5-3 with Zinchenko/Walker wide & Razzer/Kun up top.
Don't think Pep will do it but we'd win with that formation.
Ha ok 3-5-2....that being said rush keeper with Eddie in the middle would be fun.Not without a goalkeeper we wouldn't.
