Pre Match Thread: League Cup Final v Liverpool

[Gundogan's Moustache]

I've accepted Willy is going to play but it means Kolarov can't no way. It's one or the other for me

Willy
Zabaleta
Kompany
Otamendi
Clichy
Fernando
Fernandinho
Yaya
Sterling
Silva
Aguero

[Something "Saddleworth2, post: 9233490, member: 59905"]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.[/QUOTE]

I predict he will be the star of the penalty shoot out that we will win

If the defence play as well as they did against Spurs bar one mistake and against Everton in the semi 2nd leg then it should be ok. Caballero arguably kept us in that tie with the save in the second half when the game was 1-1. I would prefer Hart but it's not likely. Kolorov would be a bigger worry for me.

Must be inspiring for the lads......knowing the manager is picking a sub optimal side and you have willy behind you

Ok, we go with Willy. Back him to the hilt. Massive cheer when his name is called out.... and sing yet feckin' hearts out for the lads!

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.

the dippers have failed to show in all bar 1 game this season.......

I think that it is more likely that they will get behind their teammate, just a thought

A good team vibe is important ...but I've never won anything through sentiment or by setting up sub optimally

 

[Keepingthefaithsince1976]

That's very good. I'm sure he won't be too offended at the inference to size.

 

[Keepingthefaithsince1976]

Well if Willy does play? He acknowledged fans at Villa other week singing "Oke Cokeee"
You put your ..... In, ......out!
In out, in out , shake it all about
Do the Caberlero & turnaround etc

That's probably the best yet. Easiest for the fans to learn. " Oh do the Caballero....oh do the Caballero". He did save a penalty last weekend and Malaga weren't too bad with him. He's probably just a little rusty. If the fans get behind him I'm sure he'll come good.
