Dont think Pep will risk anything so team selection will be something like CABALLERO - MAFFEO , OTTO , KOLAROV , CLICHY - NAVAS , GARCIA , FERNANDO , NOLITO , SANE - IHEANACHO dont agree with it , but quite sure the club will prioritize Premier & Champs league over the Rumbelows Cup and risk a mauling by the scum. Hate losing to the f*ckers but if we play a shadow team it effectively informs the swampees that we have bigger fish to fry , not ideal because our little Rag friends will be singing their nursery rhymes loud and proud for a few weeks

I hope that is the team we put out. Fuck the league cup.
 
Seems clear from Guardiola's press conference that there will be rotation, but not many kids involved.

I reckon we'll line up something like this:

Caballero
Clichy
Stones
Otamendi
Kolarov
Fernando
Gundogan
Silva
Navas
Nolito
Iheanacho

Pure guess though. Guardiola's teams are pretty hard to predict!
 
No, I was in Exeter last week for the Barca game, with them cheering the Barca goals, they'll be out in force.

For those who are digging out blues on this thread for not caring much for the tie, let me give you my stance and why.

Firstly I'll be on night shift tomorrow, but I'll still be listening, and I'll still want us to batter them obviously, but my reason for not having as much interest in it as I would normally, is the complete corruption of the whole thing. The draw was a fix the second we both got through, a second early chance for the 'special one' to put Pep down, because the world had been cruelly denied it 10 days earlier, what they hadn't expected was both teams poor form that has followed.

I'm not normally one for conspiracy theories, but on this one I am, and I strongly suspect that we'll have to be better than very good to come away with any result, because almost everything that can be done, will be done, to see us beaten, no matter the team we pick, or how they play. That for me isn't football, and its why I'm not especially interested in it, I suspect the hacks already have their headlines for Thursday written. If I was ever interested in attending an ot derby (I'm not, its a shthole), I wouldn't haven't wasted my £38 on this, another money making exercise by a disgusting club.

The media are desperate for the Rags to be successful , if they win the eye gouger will be a tactical genius and Pep will be confirmed as favourite in the sack race its all so predictable my response is not to read or listen to any media bullshit for a few days , we as supporters of this football club know where we are heading and with Pep in charge it will be sooner than later , keep the faith blues if our reserve side does lose ,the Rags can have their day in the sun with their momentous victory in the Rumbelows Cup , it will mean f*ck all in May.
 
Does anybody know if they are selling beer inside old Trafford tomoz? And also does anybody know where a lot of city fans will gather for a pint before hand? Nice one

Yeah they're selling beer

Maximum of 2 pints per person per trip to the bar

Turnstiles open at 6
 
Not that bothered. Premier League and Champions league is the priority. We shouldn't allow our strategy for the season to be dictated to by local pride.

I'd have put the kids out and protected our squad for the more important matches to come, but seems we're going to play senior players.

I think it could be

..................WIlly
----Kompany----Otamendi---Clichy
----------------Fernando
--Navas----Silva----Gundogan---Nolito
----------------Kelechi

If don;t want to play Kompany 2 x in 4 days so soon into comeback, then Stones.
