Carabao Cup Final pre-match thread

[BLUEMATT23]

Isn't it about now when our Spanish team leaker tells us the team?

So what does everyone think about Bravo potentially starting ahead of Ederson?

 

[Bluekiwi]

How about Ederson starting on saturday and Bravo starting 3 out of the next 5 league games?

When do you appear at The Apollo?

Off topic. Anyone else notice just how slow Sanchez is. Navas showed him up.

More Navas being fast then Sanchez being slow. Navas is super quick.

Arsenal played a stronger XI than I expected tonight, and still got beat. Would’ve thought maybe as many as 5 who played tonight will play on Sunday (Ospina, Bellerin, Wilshere, Iwobi, Welbeck?), so hopefully a few of them will be tired.

And Xhaka came on at half time. He plays every PL game

When we first started dropping hints about Sanchez last year, I took an interest in gauging how well he played. When you look closely he ain't that quick with or without the ball. He's persistent, keeps trying and sooner or later, after a lot of giving the ball away, he'll get past the defender and take the ball into dangerous positions and has a decent shot. But no way is he worth that money and you can see why we pulled out. I think the name 'Alexi Sanchez' conjures up an image that the player does not live up to. Arsenal suited him. Manure don't. Not knocking him, he's good, but had we signed him in August he'd have been given all the credit for our current position in the league. Look, we know that Navas doesn't score, but in open play he crushed Sanchez - and not just in the way he made him look pedestrian.

@Marvin was right.

Sane's a better player than Sanchez.

 

[warringtonblue]

If we play to the best of our ability and so do Arsenal, we win. If we are at 90% we will still win
Arsenal need us to be well below par and for them come out firing in order for it to go their way, we've just not got to be so wasteful in-front of goal

Sane's a better player than Sanchez.

He needs more consistency to be honest, that's what Sanchez has over him at the moment but given time, Leroy will be much better

We owe these fuckers for last year. Let's batter them.

Just like we owed Wigan, didn't quite work out though did it

We are better than them but my problem is missing chances when we are on top. We should have been three up at our place before we scored and these days we are looking like conceding most games so this I s my only worry. Well aside from them kicking Kev out of the game like they did David Silva last year.

we follow the rags and chavs game so i'd imagine they would be doing that one,we might have tyler and carragher or carragher and someone else

Given Arsenal's result yesterday at home , I hope we beat them in the final and the league

That would be a huge blow. Anyone able to confirm whether he's still injured?

 

[SWP's back]

Would be unusual for a City fan to not want that surely?
