Strange comment - Pep clearly valued his input into their touchline discussions, he barely speaks to the new assistant who rightly or wrongly comes across as a bit of a yes man.

Guardiola wasn’t brought here to win the Micky Mouse cup each year. Let it not be a fig leaf instead of winning proper competitions.

Let‘s have a couple of the kids getting a proper outing, please, including personae non gratae** like Foden. And resting those who are knackered.

** Yeah, I looked that one up.

Arsenal have been poor recently and we should beat them but this has all the ingredients for a typical City type performance, with us getting beat by them having their game of the season.

Hope I'm wrong and we win comfortably though. It would be good to keep our run going in this competition.

If we win tonight, I don't see it being the end for Arteta, they are more concerned about their league position. But if they lose their next PL game that could be curtains for him.

Reminds me of 1992-93 when they were bottom half for a lot of the season but won both cups.

I reckon he will go for all 3 cups they are in and we need to watch out, they could still ending up winning 1 or 2 of them despite current form.

I have no idea what eleven Pep will start with so I’m just going to go with Ffs and ten others.

And jumped ship when Arse came calling.

Hardly showed Pep any loyalty did he?
