Think at least one of de Bruyne or Silva must play. There needs to be genuine creativity in the centre of the park, not just out wide, and they are the best at shifting the play and opening up the spaces.

This competition doesn't hugely bother me this season so I would like to see 3/4 youngsters with noone who will play next Weekend starting.

Several people have a similar opinion about the league cup.This competition doesn't hugely bother me this season so I would like to see 3/4 youngsters with noone who will play next Weekend starting.
I dont understand it.
We went years from 1976 trying to win it and failed miserably. i cried in 1981 at anfield when liverpool robbed us!
We have a great squad now, fantastic backup - lets go for it i say and try and win all 3 english competitions....that would be just beautiful

It would but the early rounds should be a bit of a gamble. Swansea aren't going to play a strong side so we should have enough even if we do play some younger players.
It doesn't get going until the SF.

I want to see Gunn get a start in this along with Garcia, don't see the point in playing Willy, he's had a few games this season to get up to speed and some decent displays in this competition could help Gunn secure a good loan somewhere as it did with Lopes. I'd say give one of Maffeo or Angelino a shot but tbf Zabaleta and Clichy need to get some minutes into their legs, we'll need both to be able to come into the team up to speed at points in the season. Chance to give Kompany a run out as well, if he's fit enough to take part then I'd start him, that way if he breaks down we use one sub taking him off, rather than subbing him on and possibly having to sub him off again. Sané should start, as should Navas.
Gunn
Zaba
Kompany
Stones
Clichy
Garcia
Dinho (Nando if he's fit)
De Bruyne
Navas
Nacho
Sané
Kolarov on the bench as sub CB, Ota looked like he'd taken a knock at the weeken, try and bring on Angelino or Maffeo at some point along with Delph if fit.
Sané on the left to give him a bit more space on the outside while he gets up to full speed. Get KDB off as early as possible, then we can shake things up and bring in the stronger players for Swansea at the weekend and give them something different to deal with rather than letting them use this as a practise run for the league game which I'm sure they'll prioritise out of the two meeting as they look like struggling this season.

Assuming Silva still isn't ready:
Caballero
Zabaleta Kompany Stones Kolarov
García De Bruyne Fernando
Navas Iheanacho Sané
Gunn Maffeo Otamendi Angelino Fernandinho Delph Sterling
Until Aguero and Nolito are back we are a bit short on attacking options off the bench... that'll change when Jesus arrives of course.
God I hope we draw a low league team in the next round, Pep's City could put twelve past most League 1 sides. Won't happen of course- last season we only drew 1 non-PL team in either cup: Hull, who were top of the championship at the time. Meanwhile, United, Chelsea and Liverpool are getting Oldham and Derby.
