First of all, MJ has gone to leicester, secondly, why would you play him on the left? unless you mean AJ.

I'd go with this

Zab------Savic----Boyata/Toure---Kolorov

My view is the minute you start pissing about with teams too much you come a cropper.

Depends on who we draw and whether this clashes with anything.

That's probably what Mancini wants to happen in this competition. When we were shit, i just couldn't fathom why the top clubs weren't arsed about this competiton. But now we are trying to win the Premier League, are in the Champions League and want to defend the FA Cup, i completely understand it.

Not the end of the world if we get knocked out early.

Kids and fringe players will take part in these games.

It might be better to think about this when we know who's staying and who's going, but, considering what we currently have, I'd have something like:

Taylor

Boyata
K.Toure
Wabara
Kolarov

Weiss
Milner
Ibrahim
Johnson

Guidetti
Dzeko/Bellamy

Other players to mention would be Assulin, Razak, Veseli, Roman and Bunn, but also worth having experience on the bench such as Zabaleta, Barry, SWP etc.

well considering we havnt won it with a FIRST team since 1976 then i doubt we will win it with a second string.

Having said that i would prefer to concentrate on the league and champions league this season. use the carling cup to get match experience for the younger players. i wouldnt think we will win it tho.
