This will not be a 'walk in the park' - as one poster put it.
The Light Was Yellow Sir said(posted above) - has a point.
Celtic will be boosted by the KdB news.
They -Scottish/Irish - are playing an English team.
They will be aggressive - Hope Merlin has his ankle protectors on.
They could have 3 ex-City players playing (Toure , Sinclair , Roberts-on loan)..
and I hope that Stone's isn't our weak link - He has been giving the ball away cheaply the last 2 games.
Definitely "Not a Walk in the Park"........
Pep could even play Kolorov and Clichy together,
Pick starting eleven from 12 -
Bravo,zabba , Otto , Stones ,Kolorov , Clichy
Sterling , Gundog , Fernydhino , Silva , Nolito
Aguero.

PS. Celtic could have made it 1-1 at the Nou Camp - but missed the penalty.

Glass half empty man.
 
Been like that for years, bent as fuck but posting something like this will certainly not help the situation.
Yeah it won't but personally the first time Scott Brown leaves his studs in on Wednesday I'd like to see Fernando come on and boot him from pillar to post and by that I mean from the pillars of their car park to the goalposts in Eastlands. It'll discourage their players from getting dirty in the second game when they'll almost certainly be out, they're only brave when they know they're not getting it back.
 
Hopefully Pep will have Raheem fired up for this one. He needs to remind him of how poorly he was treated by Brenda towards the end of his time on Miseryside. I'm predicting a good performance and another goal from Raheem. Roll on Wednesday.
 
I hope all the city fans who are coming for the game enjoy the occasion,city will have too much quality for us.
The suggestions that celtic will kick city off the park are nonsense we haven't got the physicality in our team.
There is absolutely no pressure on celtic in this game we are 8/1to win the game but I can't see it myself have a good trip city fans.

Will be a cracking game
 
They are going to kick our flair players off the park. Even more so thanks to Nike giving us an Orange kit...

Agreed, a team of thugs, Scott Brown is the worst thug, zero skill just a kicker, hope we get a strong referee and get through this match with three points and no injuries
 
Bravo
Zabaleta Stones Otamendi Kolarov
Fernando
Sane Gundogan Silva Sterling
Aguero

Get a few goals in the first half and sub in Navas and Nacho.
 
It'll definitely be their cup final. All their players will be motivated 200 percent and with the crowd behind them we better be prepared and concentrated from the off. Their weakness is in their obvious enthusiasm they make mistakes that we need to punish whenever possible. If we fall behind we will have a huge task on our hands. If we lead and get room to break it could be another big win. Expect a very difficult game. That we have a better player in every position won't count on the night.
 
Won't be easy but we should still come away with 3 points. Celtic are bottom 6 of the Prem at best.

Bravo

Zaba Stones Otamendi Kolarov

Gundogan Fernandinho

Sterling Silva Sane

Aguero

City 3-1 and 6pts from 6.
If it was me i would be trusting nolito more for his experience than sane who hasn't played much yet and wasn't really in tune when he started last game

I'd play Nolito regardless seeing as he can't play domestic football until after the international break.
 
We should beat a side containing Kolo Toure and Scott Sinclair but they have had the odd good result in Europe before.

Strong side and I would go

Bravo
Zab
Stones
Ottamendi
Kolorov
Fernandinho
Gundogan
Silva
Nolito
Sterling
Aguero.
 
No way will Pep put out a full strength eleven in the early stages of the League Cup irrespective of the opposition. It's not even the Quarter Finals. If United do win then that will tie them up for several weeks, especially with the two-legged semis against the likes of Arsenal or Liverpool to come.

I just don't want united winning anything and there are only a few teams that could stop them in this competition. Arsenal and liverpool/Tottenham could draw each other which leaves them with a free run to the final and anything can happen in a final. I'd prefer just to knock them out this round and then I couldn't care less what happens in the next rounds
