Carabao Cup Final pre-match thread

[Blue Til Death]

Listen to us all, trying to out think the best manager on the planet & arguably the best there has ever been in terms of revolutionising the way football is played...
We are City ;-) that's how we roll..... Whoever plays in goal we will win, that's all that matters.. We wont really be there watching anyway....!

 

[K.Reeves right foot]

Possibility of abandonment.....apparently the freezing vortex 'beast from the east' (not Phil Jones) will hit London on Sunday. Probably more like Daily Express scare mongering. More chance of Arsenal beating us than this getting postponed.

 

[Blue Til Death]

Strongest side out for me and bag the trophy...it is the lesser if the 3 but provides a boost to morale

————————————Ederson—————————————-
Walker————-Stones———-Otamendi———Zinchenko

———KDB—————Fernandinho—————-Silva———-

Sterling———————Aguero——————————-Sane

Replace Ederson with Bravo and Stones with Vinnie and you have your starting 11 for Sunday.. imo..!

Do admire Pep's loyalty by playing Bravo , but how far does this loyalty extend ? Yaya has played in every round does this guarantee him a starting place ? Surely Yaya will justifiably have an issue if he isnt picked and yet bravo gets the goalies jersey , personally i do not want either starting the match , because i want to stuff Wenger and his Tarquins , and if Bravo and Toure are on the bench then at least they are involved in the match day squad and both will get medals.

You don't know what you're talking about.

He isn't playing Bravo because he played in the other rounds, he's playing him because he's obviously been promised he's our domestic cup goalkeeper. This promise is only ever given to a goalkeeper and a manager interested in the bigger picture would be an idiot to break that promise.

Forecast is sunny and cold.

As Pep said himself it’s all about winning trophies....

Rearrange the following.

Are. Wasting. You. Breath. Your.

Too many just haven't or wont get it, if the worse were to happen on Sunday (God forbid) they already have their excuses lined up.

It's doing my head in. It's so fucking simple to understand.

Not if you're simple.....

I got told I needed to see a shrink cos it was getting on my nerves
Yes we all know Ederson is the better keeper, yes we know you think you should play your strongest 11 in a cup final and yes feel free to keep including Ederson when sending your choice of starting 11 but I can’t help it that it gets on my nerves to see it repeated over and over and over and over again

As I say probably scare mongering although snow is forecast and it's gonna be cold. I expect it to be red hot though in the arsenal penalty area.

Probably right....just not that confident of Bravo being in goal against Arsenal....even though its arsenal. A keeper that has nothing to do majority of the game and then gets called to make a drastic save, Ederson can definately do it

Always fun watching Henry Winter try to navigate a conversation with idiots like Dunn and Ashton.

 

[Gorton_Tubster]

With one minor exception , I would like to beat the tarquins twice in the next few days, but fear it will be the end for Wenger if we do. He has given so much comedy value over the last few years, I for one would miss him.

he can fuck off. I hope every City player feels the same.

last guy I heard had set up the excuse that "If we play Kompany or Zinchenko or Bravo then we will lose" wtf!

 

[M14Exile]

Well pissed off, after 7 months off work and watching every minute of every game, I have been called out to work in Malaysia where there is no tv coverage. The internet at the hotel is shite so doubt I will get a decent stream. The alternative is the match thread which is not a good place to be for the soul.....only arseholes I guess. Maybe radio, anyone have any suggestions?

Don’t go?

 

[Jocks Y-Fronts]

Anyone recommend where I could stream it ? Thanks
