Capital One Cup Draw tonight, who do you want?

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.

great idea and burn the players out, there would be something like 60 + games to our season if we went all the way in the cups

Nasri..............Manu Garcia..........Roberts

Clichy....Demichelis.....Otamendi......Sagna

Realistically, Bony will start in a 442, but I want to see Garcia and Roberts too much :)

Wouldn't be strong enough up top, Bony would have to come in for someone. Can't have 3 youngsters in our 4 most attacking positions.
 
Whos this Roberts chap....not seen him anywhere near a City team yet?

The lad looks unreal going forward with the ball at his feet, not sure what his crossing or passing is like yet. Hope he starts at Sunderland though ;-P

boring draw, should win though, they have been extremely shit so far this season.
Doesn't work like that though does it

They need to kickstart their season and this is an opportunity to do so. Most clubs played weakened teams tonight. they didn't.

they will also play weakened team. they conceded 3 against fucking exeter, not very convincing performance.

They are still our bogey team.

We won there last season for the first time in ages.

If they play a full strength team, and we play a second string it will be a lot closer than it might otherwise be. We'll just about nick it, 2-1, hopefully.

I can't see Sunderland wanting to push on in this competition with the start they've had and risk injuries / distractions with the mindset of just looking to stay in the league again after only 3 games.

Saying that if defoe is playing against Exeter it will probably be a strong team - but they can't defend anything for their lives compared to the end of last season so we should be good with the reserves easily.
 
I think this will be like playing the Geordies a couple years ago away in the comp. A tricky fixture with us hopefully coming out on top. A win there again early doors could really put to bed the struggles with have there.
 
Anyone have a clue when tickets will be released for this? And will we get the 6k allocation?

We won't be taking anywhere close to 6k but will probably be given that full upper behind the goal again that holds about 5,000+ with separation.

Remember us taking about 4,000+ up there before and that was for the opening of their new stadium that night.
