Carabao Cup Final pre-match thread

[RayCTID]

If Bravo drops a bollock and Kun or the rest of the team blazes over, fluff their lines and we lose then both are culpable.

 

[mosssideblue]

you can make up a million different scenario's to confuse people rather than just accept i want eddie to play

No shit you want Eddie to start - no issue with that but you and others convinced yourselves that if Bravo starts we lose - do you not see that as being rather silly?

Anyway, back to the post you responded to. It was a very simple scenario, no mind games whatsoever. Let me ask you once again, because you were quite vociferous in your reply to me in stating what would never happen

Bravo let a soft one in - knowing your views, I doubt it is that
Kun miss a penalty - let me think for a moment on this one

 

[SWP's back]

Your concern is noted but in a cup final your strongest team should be played in my opinion despite who ever has played in previous rounds, spent too many years since 76 wishing and hoping to get to wembley, its a squad game to get you there but strongest team in the final...we will see

You must have been gutted when Willy started ahead of Hart then last time.

 

[SWP's back]

I can't ask him a question? should we stick to made up scenario's that would never happen,we are going nowhere,it seems to be a popular view that people want the best keeper to play as much as we want the rest of the team to be our best,it's amusing this opinion is not allowed

It’s allowed but not going to happen so little point in it. You were wrong over Willy as I said.

If Bravo drops a bollock on Sunday and we lose the final , not sure the big picture , balance and long term squad management would pacify many bluemooners in the aftermath

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.

There for me is the crux. If he throws the ball in his own goal - bollock dropped, no brainer. If he fails to stop a one on one ????

I must be wrong again then lol

 

[SWP's back]

Put it this way, I’ve more faith in Pep than you.

Not that it’s a criticism of you.

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

I thought you would duck it - lets move on

 

[RayCTID]

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.

 

[blue ranger]

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.

 

[Peggy's a blue]

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

 

[kaz7]

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

 

[tiggsywiggsywoo]

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.

was that the game the team won?

Because Bravo has been good enough this season

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.

 

[Luke The Blue]

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.

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.
