Capital One Cup Draw tonight, who do you want?

[MCFC1993]

Only one tie without a prem team in it - fixed?

Only 1 prem team went out so not surprising. Still 19 prem teams in, probably a record over the last few seasons.

 

[IWasHere]

Given we'll play the likes of Iheanacho, Demichelis, Caballero, Barker, Delph, etc you'd hope they'd realise it won't be a huge draw for fans.

£50 it is then

 

[chaddblue]

Sunderland played their strongest side tonight. They'll do so again, and after the League Cup Final they'll be well up for this.

Not the worst draw we could have got, but far from ideal.

The only reason they played their strongest team tonight was dis they were desperate for a win to get their season started and a defeat could have shattered their confidence completely. Advocatt said this

Can't see them going full strength v us

 

[jimharri]

Both teams will play weakened teams. It'll be a half empty stadium

We'll batter 'em

It's always half empty.



Like ours.

*sits back, puts on popcorn and waits*

 

[Blue Haze]

Damn, Sunderland away. On the bright side, it will be on TV.

 

[Gundogan's Moustache]

Sunderland won't win another game , sack their manager , hire a new one the week before they play us and beat us 1-0

 

[BLUEMATT23]

Don't get all this rest and play the kids crap.
We should be aiming to win all trophies on offer and be playing our strongest xi.
Have some of you forgot how woeful were
In the cups last year!.
Over confidence and poor player attitude cost us.

How do you work that one out then?

 

[Gundogan's Moustache]

Damn, Sunderland away. On the bright side, it will be on TV.

Not with Villa Derby and the London derby

 

[cleavers]

Not arsed who we got, we are capable of beating them all.

Nice draw for Chelsea Liverpool and the rags though, I guess the rags are happy as they got a bye into round three this year, unlike last year.

Given we've got Spurs away the weekend after it will be down to the subs and the odd youngster to get us the win.

 

[Infinite blue]

Top draw. Full crowd will provide great experience for the kids. Get us of to serious start in this comp. Momentum.

Can't see them going full strength v us

Even if they do, our "back up" team will probably be something like this (as things stand):

Caballero
Maffeo
Demichelis
Otamendi
Clichy
Fernando
Delph
Lopes
Nasri
Iheanacho
Bony

Would still fancy us to turn them over.

 

[KingCarlito]

When will tickets be announced?

 

[greasedupdeafguy]

I would like to see our strongest eleven every game but pellegrini will have to rotate to keep the fringe players happy.

.........................Willy.............

Zaba................Demi.......Otamendi................Clichy

....................Fern/Yaya.............Delph.............

Navas...................Nasri....................Kelechi

.........................Bony................

easily strong enough to go through

If we start playing full strength teams in midweek league cup games, we'll find it much more difficult to win the league. More or less every premier league team treats this as a reserve team tournament.

 

[Tbilisi]

Either Sheffield club or Hartlepool away

Even if they do, our "back up" team will probably be something like this (as things stand):

Caballero
Maffeo
Demichelis
Otamendi
Clichy
Fernando
Delph
Lopes
Nasri
Iheanacho
Bony

That side will be good enough to compete....Sunderland have the red shit the following weekend

Getting us to soften the Mackems up before they play the rags. Fix.

 

[greasedupdeafguy]

Will we get the 6k allocation?

 

[Blue Haze]

Not with Villa Derby and the London derby

Some foreign channel usually puts it on if it's two PL clubs. At least, that's my experience with streams.
