Good draw, means the fringe players will get chance to prove their worth, if they don't, they won't see the first team for a long while.
Carabao Cup 2022/23
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date
At least its a home game for us!
Everyone moaning about City and Chelsea before the draw started and they have been drawn against each other

We play Villa away the weekend before too. Played them in consecutive games league and cup last year too.
Could have been worse considering the scouse cnut drawing the balls was always going to give us another PL side
Will be on the Wednesday or Thursday as we are in the Europa League the Thursday before, so will play our league game (also against Villa) on the Sunday or Monday. Bet we have never player the same side twice in one midweek for a long time, if ever.
Utd vs Villa is the most 3rd round draw imaginable.
Feels like it happened multiple times with Wolves recently.

No more back handers from Abramovich getting Chelsea easy draws
You love to see it
Wrong bunch of Cockneys - would have much preferred our usual cup victims Arsenal - still a cup tie at the World Famous City Ground - Come on then Conte!
West Ham last year
Twice in the same midweek? Monday and Thursday? That’s the prospect here. Will probably be Sunday and Wednesday though.
Did we not play West Ham or someone else back to back last season (or very recently) or were those games broken up by another game
We seem to get Aston Villa , Derby or Middlesbrough in the cups every single year
Newcastle must have outbid them this timeAt least its a home game for us!

Yeah and their fans will remind everyone for the next 20 years how they once played each other so early in the League Cup.
Derby will fancy it.
City actually got a hard game before the semis? Is this real life?
They will be delighted to get dumped put and concentrate on promotion.
The tie is in November, your inhalers will have been delivered by then.
Will also be the last game at Old Trafford before World Cup.
Sun 30th Oct v West Ham (Prem)
Weds 9th or Thurs 10th Nov v Villa (Carabao)
then no home game until:
Tues 20th or Weds 21st Dec (possible home tie in next round of Carabao)
or 26th December v Forest (Prem).
9th November to 26th December with no home games is going to be weird.

At least City or Chelsea whoever gets KO’d won’t have to worry about congested fixtures.
Bloody supply chain issues.
Hold on, Chelsea not getting a bye draw against a League 2 side? 
Will happily take that
New ownerHold on, Chelsea not getting a bye draw against a League 2 side?

This is the Michael Mouse cup. It's the FA where we get the choice ones.
I'd be surprised if Gerrard is still manager by the time we play them.
Hope City and Liverpool get dumped out early. Can’t face any more quadruple talk this year with the media wanking about it last year.
Chelsea are missing Roman’s draw ball warming payoffs. Gone from playing the local parish team in the initial round to City
Decent opportunity for United to give a run out to the likes of Henderson, Bailly,Mata, Cavani, Lingard, Matic, Pogba, Telles. Oh wait...
We're already struggling for players who can play the way ETH wants, I wonder if he’ll go with youth who can tiki taka or play the collection of outcasts (Jones, AWB) with the backups (Lindelof, Shaw, Maguire).
You just gave me a flashback of some seriously tumescent football under Ole.
I went to our game against Bradford on Tuesday, and all things considered I thought we played very well. I was impressed with how slick Dack and the numerous graduates from our academy and U23 team around him looked. It was also a welcome relief after those back to back 3-0 defeats and incredibly poor performances (which brought us crashing down to earth).
I've said for a while that we basically have a mid-table Championship standard first team, and a Premier League standard youth academy / set-up. So when our first team players have been struggling, I've always wanted more of the young-guns to be given a chance in the first team, as firstly it's not exactly a huge risk of the regular starters are not performing anyway, and secondly the drop-off is relatively low compared to that at many other clubs.
All things considered, I think that our youth set-up is very impressive, especially given the fact that we are based in the North West, where are a huge number of professional clubs including several world famous giants in close proximity to each other.

3rd round
How have they managed to put all the shite games on the same evening?
They aren't showing any of them here anyway. Watching Watford v. Reading.
Everton getting battered.
That was a good goal from Jamie Vardy.
You wonder how Everton fans will take this.
