Brentford (H) - Wed 17th Dec, 19:30 | EFL Cup | Pre-Match Thread

Their line-up is incredibly defensive. Reckon they’re just gonna play for penalties and frustrate us.

I’ll break through, don’t sweat this

 

[abu13]

No conspiracy he just cannot play football to the required standard any more.

Not for us but why no loans

 

[heslops barnet]

I think we will do well to win this one.

Can do without a 2 legged semi final

 

[Trevor Morley's Tache]

Would love to see some positivity from Bobb tonight, no need to keep passing it back to the fullback when you're 1 v 1.

Hopefully he's over the physical, and more importantly mental shackles of his broken leg. I'd love to see him making some of those jinking runs tonight.

 

[East Level 2]

Ooh, 7-30 on a Wednesday, turning the clock back 50 years.

 

[pepguardiola'smoustache]

Hmmm.

@gordondaviesmoustache isn’t as good as he’d have you believe. Looks horny in tight shorts though so go on, let him start.

Glamour forward.
60 mins.
2 touches, 1 goal.

Rumours of binge drinking and seedy clubs with car keys in pots continue to emerge.

Meaning that they're missing 5 of their best XI for this game from the start.

Kelleher, Collins, Henderson and Igor are the spine of their team. Only one starts.

It's still a very capable Brentford team. It'll pose questions from a physical POV. But it's also missing goals in the form of Igor and Ouattara. And Fabio Carvalho is also missing. He usually plays and assists/scores in this competition.

Quattara didn't start vs us in October, Shade did, he starts tonight.

Igor is their goalscorer, hopefully they'll miss his presence. They are likely to sub him on in the 2nd half.

The last couple of loans havent gone well I think, west ham was a disaster.

 

[Vienna_70]

He's a smooth operator

Is it a crime?

Smooth operator

Schade is German for shame.

 

[jimharri]

Pretty strong XI.

So they should. Two ties from a Wembley final. If I was a Brentford fan, I'd hope that they'd have a go tonight. Nothing to lose by it.

 

[Keepingthefaithsince1976]

Cmon City..
Up & at em from the first whistle.

 

[Eccles Blue]

The Boys in Blue never give in. They fight to the end. Come on City, come on City. Show ‘em lads, show ‘em all.
Especially the silly so called media lot who wouldn’t know a football from their big toe. The bobolynes have about as much sense as a dorbel.
Especially the illiterate zoilist lobberworts who call themselves officials. Yes official fools who obviously have no idea who we are!
WE ARE MANCHESTER CITY THE BEST TEAM IN THE LAND AND ALL THE WORLD. So stick that in your over grown egos you silly so and so’s.

:-) ;-)

Thiago is not on the bench either

As a lawyer, I bet he can do a mean plea to the referee - and in his tight shorts - he'd be irresistable!

18 mins to kick off and he's not showed.

Lace yer boots up, lad, you're starting!

He's not even on the bench, for some reason.

More games for the squad players. Not a major issue, in my opinion.
