We have 22 fit players now, 3of them goalies. So, Carson won't make the group. Who are the other 3 who are going to be left out? I guess Otamendi and Angelino won't make it. But who is the 3rd? Zinchenko or Silva or Foden? Cancelo can play on the left but Pep doesn't seem to be a fan of him as a LB. So, Silva or Foden? It's a cup game, so Foden should make at least the bench and seems better right now. But David is the captain.
 
Just had a look. More like a few thousand tickets unsold in the 3rd tiers. £35.

They've been filling the stadium by giving away thousands of tickets this season. See press release from Man Utd below:

Only decent thing they have, a PR department. Basically turning around the fact there are so many empty seats into a oh look at us giving tickets to local children for matches against Rochdale, Colchester and AZ when the stadium was half empty. Lets see them give 10k away for games v Us, Dippers etc
 
This is a variation of the 11 I hope to see. I thought maybe Walker in the back 3. But on 2nd thought, perhaps Stones with Walker and Ben playing support as Wingbacks.

I like your front 5. Best 5 bar maybe Foden.

Edit: Missed your goalie. That won't happen. :)

Carson in to see if people were awake. Love to see him play, cant be worst than the hologram
 
Wish the club would put together a 30 second video on every team tactical fouling as it goes on in every game and when other managers try and play mind games with the officials by calling us out on it, we simply release them doing the same.
My response to the paperboy would be not to worry about tactical fouling as his players need to be on their feet to be fouled in reference to their constant diving
 
Gotta feeling pep is going to tinker tonight unfortunately :-(

He doesn't as a rule but what is your idea of a tinkered team? At worst is Mahrez Jesus Sterling with Rodhri Silva and Gund in behind, there is no way Kev wont play so not sure our second string is that bad with all fit bar laporte and sane.
 
Ollie wants 'protection' for his players from City's tactical fouls. Tactical fouls tend to break up an attack by a seemingly clumsy tackle, an inoccuous push or pull, and aren't the leg breakers from which City players have often needed protection from Rag mad dogs. What Ollie is doing, having read the RDAHMeedya clamour for refs to look at our 'tactical' fouls and not theirs, is to have a game that Arsene always used to hanker after - no tackling of his players.
