Leicester (a) Carabao Cup QF pre-match thread

[Stevieatlasblue]

hope you are joking

Whatever Pep wants so do i..will be interesting to see his team selection for tonight.

Was there a pre game conference?

I would rather play a full team tonight and rest a few on Saturday. Lets face facts - we look like we are going to win the league. If we throw this you can see United boring their way to a League Cup win. Then if they fluke the FA Cup (not inconceivable) and we don't win the Champions League (lets be realistic, even as favourites we probably won't) we could easy finish with one trophy and Utd have 2. Yes, we have the bigger trophy but it is so easy to end 2 seasons with 1 trophy to their 4, and as much as ours would be the best one it still doesn't sit easily with me that in our period of dominance (that I have waited the best part of 50 years for) we end up possibly winning less than them during that time frame

I get what you're saying but I don't think we need to get in a pissing contest with United over trophies.

I'd take a league win over a league cup + fa cup win any day of the week.

Even a weakened side should still be able to see of Leicester, who are supposedly playing their reserves as well.

Ahhh, the deep secrets of bluemoon that I never knew existed!

I suspect the three who voted, didn't know that feature existed either!

Hope I’m wrong but I think we’ll struggle tonight.

This please.

So at a guess it's looking like:

-------------------------Bravo
Danilo-----Adarabioyo-----Mangala-----Zinchenko
-----------------------Gundogan
-------------Bernardo----------Foden/Yaya
Sane--------------------Jesus------------------Diaz/Foden

All of a sudden I'm not that confident. Hope to be proved wrong though.

They may be inexperienced as a team, but it's still one hell of a side that though, isn't it. They just lack game time together - they are still all really, really good players.

If that lot played every week, they'd compete for top 4 in the league imo. Heck, they might even win it.

 

[Delphinho]

Hope I’m wrong but I think we’ll struggle tonight.

It seems like Otamendi, Stones, Kompany, KDB, David Silva, Sterling and Aguero will not feature, so I would be very surprised if we could win this

 

[pudge]

This is where Stones, Mendy and Kompany being out starts to really hurt our rotation and possible drop in level.

 

[FantasyIreland]

Well if the lads on the periphery don't seize their opportunity tonight,they don't deserve to be here.

I'm looking forward to a very spirited game.
