To be fair we have 2nd team raring to prove their worth.
Cup draws under Ole
- Thread starter Nou_Camp99
- Start date
If our backups can't win West Ham backups, we might as well get kicked out earlier so we wouldn't need to sub Bruno in at half time to get the win or even worse, we start him
If you want to win things you need to beat good teams, if you can't beat West Ham at home you're not going to win anything. Moyes is probably going to put out a weakish team anyway. It's a distraction they don't need.
Today at 5 (BST).
Juve, Madrid, PSG.
Not always.
City won an FA Cup a few years ago and the best team they played was Brighton.
Their cup draw luck is obscene
Firstly, it’s WH at home ….we will be odds on favourites to win.
Secondly, it’s the EFL ….BIG DEAL!

I think people aren't denying you need to beat these teams if you want to win it. However, it would have been nice to have a few games against lesser teams first so we could give fringe players/youth players some minutes.
The point is that our neighbours keep getting lower league teams at almost every avenue possible, allowing them to rest the entire squad.
We get a PL team in form.
No one is expecting to travel to the final without having to play one of the big shooters, but sometimes it would be nice to have a cup draw where you can imagine winning 9-0 and having lasagna with a resting pulse
Top half PL team every time, while City & Chelsea get the Soccer AM Badgers & Hashtag United
5pm thursday - well, that's the start time but what with the doves of peace and dancing girls, adverts and the like.... sometime next week!
I’m fully expecting a hard CL group again as our English peers get piss easy groups (especially City and Chelsea).
The best team they played in the EFL Cup last season was us in the semi!!! says it all
I couldn't care less about the League Cup. I hope we use it to give some game time to fringe players in our ridiculously bloated squad.
We certainly have had tough draws since Ole joined though. I expect that to continue in the CL draw later on.

West Ham at home should be a good run out for our fringe players.
Get in!!! Hope ole doesn’t screw that up!!!
Not a bad draw, would be good to get back to knockout rounds.
Watch us win the group and get PSG or Bayern in the round of 16 
Decent draw that. Should be top of that group and we get to dish out some revenge on Villarreal.
The sole FA cup (I think) they have won under Pep...
Take that CL draw . Villarreal, Atalanta, Young boys. Not bad at all.
I honestly had to double check it and make sure they didn't mix up the two Manchester clubs.
City's owners won't be happy. Not enough bung this year. Saving it to pay Ronaldo 650k a week.

Couldn’t have hoped for an easier draw than that
Very favorable draw, should be comfortably seeing this out.
Happy days
Bit of fecking luck at last
Weve got problems if OGS can’t get us out of that group.
Great draw for us!I”m just so relieved,we should definitely be able to make the last 16 at the very least....
Why do City get such favourable draws....oh wait.
UEFA mixed us & city up.
Nice to get the easiest group in the CL. Should win it.
Easy group. Don't feck it up.
Yep, someone froze the wrong balls.
We won the draw this year....finally! Ole...don't mess it up and play Martial......
Honestly if you think our champions league group wasn’t a case of the FA stitching us up then you haven’t been watching closely enough. It’s just that they decided to be more discrete this time. Our record against Villa Real has been terrible - don’t think we’ve ever beaten them. Young Boyz have won 4 consecutive Swiss super leagues. Atlanta have been incredible since founded 7 years ago with their achievements already including 2 MLS cups. But sure, buy into the press’ whole ‘Utd aren’t being stitched up by the draws’ propaganda. Personally I won’t be a sheep. I’ll listen to YouTube.
