Ah my bad, just saw the headline and assumed unnamend players.Scott Carson and a youngster. No real big miss for City.
that’s what I’m saying, save him for Burnley. Maybe bring him on against city later if we need him but I think him fresh for Burnley would be beneficial.Burnley is a league game.
I could see bringing Bruno off the bench after an hour against City. Play Pogba as a 10 ahead of Fred or VDB and McTominay and then the front 3 is 3 of Rashford/Martial/Greenwood/James/VDB.
Depends on a bunch of factors, but if it's gonna be a cagey affair for half an hour anyways (and I wouldn't necessarily bet on that considering Pep hasn't seen that go well and they look a bit stronger lately) and extra time being about a 20-25% chance looking at betting odds.
Just hope this is not postponed with a few hours to go... seems to be getting out of control over at City.Ah my bad, just saw the headline and assumed unnamend players.
Aw diddums. How much have City spent in recent years, and how much youth have they bothered to give chances to, ever? Why the hell are managers acting like such whiny cocks at the moment?
Can you imagine the outcry if we got a free pass to our first final with Ole ?If they’re going to try and cancel another game then give us a free pass into the final. They can’t control their players. That Mendy seems a right tool.
I know it's a jokeScott Carson and a youngster. No real big miss for City.
Because between Pep and Klopp they make Freud look like a fecking amateur with their psychological mind games...keep upThey just played a near full strength team at Chelsea. Why are managers lying about this stuff
I thought you guys didn't get League Cup games anyway? Or is this on now it's the semi final?My fellow South Africans,
Charge your phones, get your generators and inverters ready, your power banks full...our beloved country will have nation wide loadshedding exactly when our game kicks off.
A decent 2-0 no fuss scalp will suffice, thank you.
Will be similar to the PSG game I think. Errors from us cost us despite a decent performance. We’ll miss some good chances but ultimately they will pass as they have the greater know-how. Hope I’m wrong though it’s been too long since we’ve been in a final even if it is the League Cup.I think we’re going to lose tonight, just want a good game but feel we are due a loss and City are playing well.
Kevin DeBruyne might be the deciding factor he seems to have found some form, also hearing 4 more City staff have tested positive for covid is there a chance this match will be cancelled?Will be similar to the PSG game I think.

There’s currently no talk of that anywhere so I’d be surprised. Obviously things can change so quickly now but think we’d have heard murmurings by now.I think the game will be called off unfortunately. The latest announcement of further positive tests in their camp is positioning the match to be postponed.
Feel gutted for him! Leyton Orient are going to lend him some players I heard
What you think he’s trying to lure us into a false sense of security?Expecting a stronger City team than Pep is suggesting - and expect 532 type thing from Ole 8 defensive players
I don't at all expect him to play 3/5 at the back, but his back four will be defensive - probably AWB, Bailly, Maguire, Shaw - and he will also start both Fred and McTominay who, although box-to-box, will sit back in front of the back from when city have prolonged periods of possession. So it's a side that can transition, but can certainly put together a really serious low block when necessary.Expecting a stronger City team than Pep is suggesting - and expect 532 type thing from Ole 8 defensive players
Manchester United is very well supported here, so most of their games are on DSTV/Supersport.I thought you guys didn't get League Cup games anyway? Or is this on now it's the semi final?
Must be a slow news day? Two lads that wasn't going to make the squad tonight anyway.Tweet

Same here. I actually don't really care about the result so much for this one. My heart is set on the next 2 league fixtures. Of course I'd like us to win this one, because it will be great to get to the final and have an opportunity to get revenge against Spurs and Jose, but nothing better than lifting a trophy to boot!I actually don't feel that nervous. I don't know if that bodes well or not though.
We are out of the UCL we are only campaigning for the Carabao and the league. This is a must win game.How do we see this game? I would like to win it not just because it is City but also to get a chance for some revenge on the Spuds.
It will not be the end of the World if we lose though. Bigger games to come.
