The last I heard, he´ll be back in October, so I guess not then.

Dve · Sep 19, 2021

Shaw needs to be rested, so Dalot has to cover for him.

.............. Heaton (Henderson?)

Bissaka - Bailly - Lindelöf - Dalot

............... Donny - Matic

Sancho........ Mata ....... Lingard

.................. Martial

Elanga then would be a good shout he played well preseason. I'd like to see a 442.

peridigm · Sep 19, 2021

How far off is Rashford? Been training for a few weeks now hasn't he? Should give him some minutes as a sub.

Could be. He played and scored a penalty on Sat, so he’s certainly fit again

October was the date for a return and I don’t see the rush.

WHU won’t play a full strength side for this either. They haven’t a squad for 2 games a week

Matic Van de Beek

Something like this for me. Ole never rests Maguire. Heaton if Henderson isn't fit.

If Mata is not playing games like this, its pointless to have him in the squad. He is a decent squad player. He will combine well with the likes of VdB, Sancho, Lingard and Martial.

Elanga can come off the bench.

Respectable league cup lineup there. Maybe Mata in for Greenwood.

tentan · Sep 20, 2021

What? We play them again?

Varane around town · Sep 20, 2021

We need a massive rotation for this game.

Side note: but one reform I would make to English football is excluding every team that is playing in European competition from the League cup.

Anyway, I hope we rotate and rest all our key players. It could backfire but who cares? Today was much much more important for us.

Blood Mage · Sep 20, 2021

Henderson
AWB - Lindelof - Maguire - Dalot
VDB - McTominay
Sancho - Mata - Elanga
Martial

I assume Telles isn't ready yet but we really need to rest Shaw for this one anyway. If we're comfortable in the second half it would be nice to see Amad and Mejbri too.

I literally thought somehow all my comments I was reading were old yet somehow new... but yeah, 3 days we play again.

This probably won't happen but I'd like to see 4-3-3 and Mejbri be given a chance.

Id love to see this. Maybe even Elanga instead of Lingard too but I think he’ll start. Get those valuable minutes for Martial, VDB, EB, Dalot Lindelof, Heaton, Telles etc

Id like us to get as many games as possible in this competition to flex the squad and hope some of the fringe lads pick up form.

Bertie Wooster · Sep 20, 2021

I'm in the minority who still love cup competitions and see winning trophies as worthy even if they're not the PL or CL.

So the team that I'd like us to pick would be a lot stronger. However, the weakened team I expect us to send out would be something like...

Heaton / Henderson

AWB
Lindelof* / Maguire
Bailly
Dalot

Van de Beek
Matic

Sancho
Lingard
Martial

Greenwood

*Lindelof wasn't in matchday squad today so not sure if he's injured.

I'd prefer to see us put out a much stronger starting XI against tough opponents - as I'm desperate for our first trophy under Ole and don't want us to throw one of our chances away this early. But that's the level of selection I'm expecting.

Ayoba · Sep 20, 2021

EtH · Sep 20, 2021

Real Name · Sep 20, 2021

DDG, Maguire, Shaw, AWB, Pogba, Fred, Ronaldo, all need to sit out this one.

Hannibal DvB

1. Seems like Hannibal's injured.
2. It'd be suicidal to play him there. Especially with Donny.

If Cavani and Telles are not ready: Henderson/Heaton, AWB, Bailly, Lindelof, Dalot, Donny, Matic, Greenwood, Lingard, Sancho, Martial.

Henderson/Heaton, Varane, Shaw, Fernandez, McT, Bruno, Mata, Elanga, Shola.
I'd just leave Harry, Pogba and Ronaldo at home.

I didnt notice him in last week training as well. Is this confirmed though?

He always seems to get injured at the wrong time

Hopefully we see Cavani, Telles and Rashford back.

3. It’s the Carabao Cup. Who cares.

Rotate the squad as needed and get the youth some chances like SAF did rather than treating it like a real trophy ala Jose.

UNITED ACADEMY · Sep 20, 2021

Dean/Heaton
Lindelof Varane Bailly Dalot
VDB Matic
Mata Lingard Sancho
Martial

Or plays Fred as left back to rest Varane (probably shit idea). Anyway, I care more about PL or UCL. And also Moyes will rest lot of his players since he played 7 same players in his XI in both our game and the Europa league, I will be surprised if he doesn’t rest lot of his main XI.

Bondi77 · Sep 20, 2021

We need to make sure Dalot gets a full 90 so he can be in the groove for Villarreal

Chicharo · Sep 20, 2021

Ole stated after yesterday's game Lingard would start. I expect

Heaton (if Dean isn't fit)
Dallot, Lindelof, Maguire, Telles
VDB, Matic
Jadon, Mata, Lingard (though I prefer Greenwood, Lingard, Jadon)
Martial

I'd like to see Cavani of course if he can play.Jadon needs minutes to adapt,and Maguire is always there, though I wouldn't mind if Bailly starts here. If Hannibal is ready I'd love to see him at some point. As always is f**** Carabao Cup, rest all main players, and if we advance to the final stages then play them to win the trophy.

Chaky_Best · Sep 20, 2021

Of course massive rotation for this one, with strong bench.

Nothing confirmed. But he missed last games, so must be injured.
Someone here said that he was limping (or smth similar) at the end of the game against Arsenal.

Dazzmondo · Sep 20, 2021

Predicted Lineup:

Henderson

AWB Lindelof Maguire Dalot

VDB Matic

Sancho Lingard Elanga

Martial

Bench: Heaton, Bailly, Fernandez, McTominay, Fernandes, Greenwood, Ronaldo

Have Bruno, Mason and Ronnie to come on if we're losing and need a goal. If we are losing I expect us to bring them on. If we're winning, I think we'll see Fernandez in for AWB with Dalot switching wings, Bailly for Maguire and McTominay as the other sub. Prediction 2-1 (Lingard, Elanga)

VinzentFTW · Sep 20, 2021

I dont want to see a dull new first 11. I want to see a mixed first 11 that could work in PL as well so potensial first teamers can get some game time with settled first teamers.

PoTMS · Sep 20, 2021

I think we're mostly all in agreement that it's not the worst thing in the world if we end up losing this one. We've got bigger fish to fry. I understand the point we need to start winning stuff but this cup is just so long and tedious. It doesn't help City are given byes every round while we Traveller ourselves out against the top teams.
