Oxford Utd (A) - LeagueCup QF - Pre-Match Thread

[mccity]

Foden starts yet again. Blocking Gundogan's path to the first team.

I'm worried about Gundo's development. Does Foden have pictures of Pep and a mistress or something? How else is he playing?

 

[super_city_si]

Good team. Be interesting to see zinchenko and foden in mid together.

 

[@BluePhil8]

Very happy with that team.

 

[Cheadle_hulmeBlue]

Great to see harwood bellis. I actually think along with foden he’s our best youth player.

Stockport represented

 

[G-Star Medium Rare]

Perfect mix, looking forward to Zinc and Phil in midfield

Zinc plays internationals for his country in midfield so he should be fine. Rodri to shore everything up as needed, and good to see Raz as captain!

Must just be me that doesn't like the team/bench

 

[Trojan1962]

Why is young Doyle not in the squad? Injured perhaps

 

[lmhblue1]

From the OS: David Silva and Kyle Walker aren’t fully fit and haven’t been risked. They remain in Manchester continuing their recoveries.

Hopefully nothing serious for Kyle.

Why?

Many on here will say good move.

And sergio

 

[BucksBlue]

Pep showing great trust in the younger members of the squad.

Probably, you may be unique.

 

[OntarioBlue]

Mahrez and Bernie on the wings with Raz in the middle ? Cue the high crosses !

 

[Tugay One Cup]

Dont wish to sound like a pedant but they really dont play on shite pitches

Of course they do.

 

[blueste41]

Why don't I like it? Would have like to have seen a stronger team, especially the bench (KDB/Fern)

Foden starts yet again. Blocking Gundogan's path to the first team.

Gundogan's problem is he'll be travelling that path going backwards and sideways no doubt

 

[Fordyboy46]

Hope Kev isn't injured.

 

[Millwallawayveteran1988]

I think that side should be ok against Oxford. I would be a bit more concerned if we were playing a Prem side.

That forward 3 will be way too much for them to handle.

 

[Tugay One Cup]

I know it's going to be Raheem but I wouldn't mind seeing Bernardo given a go in the middle of that three.

Glad to see Zinchenko get a game in midfield for us. Love watching him there for Ukraine.
