Pre Match Thread: League Cup Final v Liverpool

Not open for further replies.
Last time we didn't play a keeper in the final who got us there? Yep, we got beaten, so let's all remember that, as I'm sure everyone going will be trying to remember what socks/top they wore that day, as football is all about superstitions!

Not one of the team turned up against Wigan though as they were allegedly pissed off with Bobby

This is different and the team want to send Pellegrini off a winner

Willy will play though
 
No room for sentiment in a final. In any final or key game in any sport you play your strongest team!!!!!
It's that simple!

When Liverpool get the team sheet and see hart isn't playing it will give them an automatic lift. It'll raise there spirits and belief!

People keep comparing this scenario to the Wigan cup final! We never lost that cup final because we suddenly dropped pantilimon and played hart. We lost it due to 8 or 9 players effectively going on strike!
 
It seems all our eggs are being put in the CL basket. Doesn't mean to say we won't win tomorrow but for me looking less likely unless the Dippers fail to show.
 
Understand why there might be disagreement over which Keeper (still think Hart should be playing) should play but do we all agree that the back 4 should stay the same? My concern is Kolarov and Willy both starting.....We looked strong at the back for most of the game in midweek....changing that would give a big advantage to Liverpool....
 
Up for this one now after the Kiev performance, before that I was sort of 50/50 because of our form. But we looked a more solid team with the spine back in place.

Lets go and win this against a team that has already booked the victory parade. We need to play our strongest 11, leave Kolarov on the bench as for me he effects Sterling's game in a negative way.

3-1 Win for us
 
No room for sentiment whatsoever. It's not like Willy is a young keeper who confidence will be damaged. He's a crap keeper and should be nowhere near the first team
 
Well it looks like Willy is playing and although I think it's the wrong decision I wish him all the best tomorrow.

I am sure he is professional enough to give it his best and hopefully get a winners medal.
 
what I would like:

hart
zab
vinny
otamendi
clichy
Fernando
dinho
yaya
silva
sterling
aguero

what we will get:

willy
sagna
vinny
otamendi
kolarov
Fernando
fernandino
yaya
navas
silva
aguero

I agree with this. I believe it's the wrong call from Manuel but it sounds like the decision is made and we need to get behind it. We will beat them if the team show the energy and fight they did on Wednesday. Good luck to Willie.
