Carson has to play… Up Front

When has Pep ever done a Pellegrini v Chelsea?

No chance he only plays kids.

It will be more like the Community Shield: some senior players plus a couple of squad players and academy lads.

As long as Haaland doesn’t play or even sit on the bench then it is what it is. We can afford to go out of this cup, however annoying it’d be on the night to lose to Spuds. But we cannot afford any more injuries.

Carson, Esbrand, Hamilton, Mcatee, Nunes, O Reilly, . 2-2-1 formation. 6 players should do it against Spursy's all out attack. 6 behind the ball for 85 mins, then catch them on the break 90th min . O'reilly winner . Spurs trophy less again

We sold Hamilton to Middlesbrough unless there's another of our players called that

Yea it’s not going to happen. Even our ‘fringe side’, would be a first team for most clubs.

They’ll be a couple of youngsters - I don’t include Mcatee or Lewis as youngsters now and mainly first team players

Pep Guardiola: "Against Spurs maybe some players from the Manchester City Academy will play... We're going to compete, but the main target is Bournemouth, Sporting, and Brighton. If players are fine, they play against Spurs, but if they have doubts, I’m not going to take a risk.."

Im not that convinced that our fringe side would make it many top half clubs really - some will - but our squad is not as deep as the meeja make out
