Carabao Cup Final pre-match thread

I think and am hoping he'll play Danilo there. At least he has a bit more pace then Zinchenko.

The reverse for me, Im hoping he plays Zinchenko there.

Agreed

Having Bravo in goal won't be even remotely an issue if our midfield and forwards score the goals they should from the chances created.

Bingo! Danilo was so frustrating to watch against Wigan, always passing backwards and hardly tried to progress towards the box or byline. Atleast with Zinchenko you know he'll try and get a pass or cross into the box.

Chances taken tomorrow. We will put on a show. 1st of 3 trophies.
Arsenal 0 3 City

Hoping Danilo plays at left back, Zinchenko is promising but his lack of experience would mean he was targeted by Arsenal. He has been caught out in the air frequently and although Danilo hasn’t exactly shone he is taller, more physical and has played major finals before.

Reporting now that Sterling & Jesus both fit and ready for tomorrow.

Left back (and upfront) is certainly a position where we might see a change during the match.
I would start Zinchenko as he offers more passing quality and IMO more confidence as a character.

Danilo has always a fantastic attitude and workrate when he's put on and could offer more power going forward and some physical defending.

 

[kaz7]

that doesn't say him and gabby are both fit to start

 

[feedthegoat9]

Are any pubs showing the game around Wembley? I remembr reading something that none of them show the game. I guess to stop people doing what I will be doing, going without a ticket, be amongst the atmosphere then watch it in a pub...
Thanks for your help...

 

[ped]

lets hope sterling makes it ,we are a better team with him

At least some source ;-)
So what's yours then? Or is it a secret?

 

[balotelli's back pocket]

Honestly think Zinchenko will play.
Not much between stones and Laporte so I think he will go for John, laporte still settling in and stones is alright with Nico next to him.
