Carabao Cup Final pre-match thread

I'd be tempted to go 3-5-3 with Zinchenko/Walker wide & Razzer/Kun up top.

Don't think Pep will do it but we'd win with that formation.

Covered your bases there, didn’t you? We will win if Pep does this, but he won’t, so....

Are you a better coach and strategist than Pep, by chance? I only ask, because that’s exactly what you said.

It’s not a question of seeing into the future, it’s called, an informed decision made after a suitable evaluation, my evaluation did not take long to deem Eddie far and away superior to Bravo, therefore Eddie should play ;-)

But you have said on several occasions Eddie plays we win, Bravo plays we lose - both are simply speculation.
Yes, Eddie is the better keeper but he aint playing but that does not necessarily mean we will lose.

Best team. Football can be too sentimental, but I hope City (Pep) are ruthless when it comes to this game. Lose again, this time in a Cup Final, and it suddenly becomes “crisis,” with another trip to immediately play them on their home patch. Three in a row, in different competitions, with us losing two of the Quadruple in a week and suddenly giving hope to the chasers is called a MELTDOWN in the media frenzy that is hoping for City to fall apart at the seams.

I’m not putting all that on Bravo’s shoulders, but one mistake gets that boulder rolling down the hill at Wembley.

Best team ALWAYS for a trophy. ALWAYS. It is why we play the game, so no one should want us pissing around with sentiment.

Small world! I’m an Ashton Grammar lad, too. Left after Sixth Form College there in ‘82!

the other problem with playing bravo is that his distribution from the back is no where near as good as Edersons which affects our build up play and attacking potential....not only that he makes the defenders nervous and that can lead to goals......

That and his shot stoppping is nowhere near as good....how many times has Ederson had one or two saves to make in a game and he has done it..Bravo - ts one shot one goal time and time again...

I know Pep will play Bravo but its a huge mistake

Where did he say that he was better than Pep? Must have missed that.

And what if Ederson plays and starts the boulder rolling?
