Carabao Cup Final pre-match thread

[SWP's back]

Why have you voted for a draw if you are so confident?

That’s not remotely the discussion.

 

[SWP's back]

Dont let it concern you

It’s concerning that any city fan doesn’t understand why Bravo would play.

Why have you voted for a draw if you are so confident?

a), where have I said that I am so confident
b), I voted for a draw after 90 mins, thereafter, I think we will prevail
c), so why haven't you answered the direct question of what will never happen in the scenario I posted - could it be you dont want to say Kun would never miss a penalty :)

Bravo has no doubt improved , but he is not as good as Ederson particularly as a sweeper/keeper , Eddy is lightning quick off his line and very rarely does a one on one happen because he has already intercepted/read the pass , Bravo just isnt that type of keeper and is shit at one on one's ,but Bravo deserves his place in goal for his heroics in the earlier round , not sure if its blind loyalty or stupidity we will find out on Sunday . If we dominate the ball hopefully we will get away with playing Bravo at Wembley , but if the Goons get behind our back four playing on the break / hoof ball then i fear Bravo will be exposed i wouldnt have the same concern with Eddy in goal.

If we lost in extra time in your scenario, as long as it was not attributable to the keeper who would complain?
Bloody hell, how many variables? Can we throw in a red card, dubious yellows & 3 serious injuries too?

Not a difficult question I posed but you are the second who has dodged it :)
If we lost do you really think no one would complain on here - really

you can make up a million different scenario's to confuse people rather than just accept i want eddie to play

Your concern is noted but in a cup final your strongest team should be played in my opinion despite who ever has played in previous rounds, spent too many years since 76 wishing and hoping to get to wembley, its a squad game to get you there but strongest team in the final...we will see

Its neither blind loyalty nor stupidity, its seeing and understanding there is a bigger picture and a balance to be struck in long term squad management. Simple as that.

If Bravo drops a bollock on Sunday and we lose the final , not sure the big picture , balance and long term squad management would pacify many bluemooners in the aftermath

I can't ask him a question? should we stick to made up scenario's that would never happen,we are going nowhere,it seems to be a popular view that people want the best keeper to play as much as we want the rest of the team to be our best,it's amusing this opinion is not allowed
