Carabao Cup Final pre-match thread

[TRUE BLUE NO1]

Bravo; Walker, Kompany, Otamendi, Danilo; Fernandinho, Gundogan, David Silva; Sané, Agüero, De Bruyne.

Bit concerned about Kompany...not the same player he once was!

Better than Stones or Laporte today! It would be criminal to bench our captain in such an important game considering Stones is in terrible form and Laporte is new.

Good point....hope its the right move! Not surprised about Bravo but thats the only other selection I would have changed. Ederson is our No1 by a long way and never understand why you wouldnt want to put out your "best" 11 for a final.......come on Blues!!!!

Can’t believe I’m watching at home this year. My son’s gone with his mate so at least he gets his 4th trip to a Wembley final


What time does the coverage start on tv ?

hope i'm wrong cos i worship the man but he is the weak link in that team. vital that we keep posession. bernardo very unlucky not to start over gundogan

4pm mate....

EDIT: MAKE THAT 3.30PM!!;)

 

[bobmcfc]

4pm mate....

Thanks

 

[abu13]

it shows where we have come from when we now look at Kompany as being the weak link, Looks like KDB will be used down the right hand side

 

[TRUE BLUE NO1]

Thanks

Looks like its 4pm on one skysports channel and 3.30pm on another....

 

[bluekeith]

3.30 on 403

Thoughts @tolmie's hairdoo ?
Kompany and Gundogan starting, imagine your delighted?

 

[BigOscar]

Not crazy about shifting either formation of de Bruynes position for the first time this year in such a big game, then throwing in Kompany who we have played all our best football without.

Arrived 20 mins ago, walked straight into the city coach outside marlybone.

In the volunteer, baker st good mix of tarquins and blues

Similar - my 10 year old decided that queuing to see the lads board the bus was more important than going for a pint.

45 mins later saw the lads board the bus....

Missed out on 2 pints though

Fear Arsenal will try and get Vinny booked early.

Fear Vinny will get himself booked early.

Can only imagine the vinny selection is pure sentiment.

 

[TheThirdDeano]

Not sure about the team leaks, I know they;re not important but something about it doesn't sit right with me.

I don't trust this Alvarez guy... Strange the club haven't done anything

 

[richards30]

Will be shocked if Kev is played wide!!! I imagine the midfield will float as they wish

 

[city saint]

Can only imagine the vinny selection is pure sentiment.

why stones isn't playing well and laporte probably not up to speed

 

[balotelli's back pocket]

KDB wide right is good imo but very harsh on bernardo
