    Man City (a) Carabao Cup

    Carabao Cup 4th round - Manchester City (a), 8pm Thursday 22nd December

    **** it, it's only a week and a half away.

    What do people think about the sort of team we pick? I'd go really strong - use it as a tune-up for Boxing Day. Team could look something like this:

    Kelleher

    Trent (hardly played for Eng)
    Gomez
    Matip
    Robbo

    Milner
    Elliott
    Thiago

    Salah
    Firmino
    Carvalho

    Something like that anyway. Nunez could figure, likewise Keita, Carvalho.

    Or do you go heavy on the kids and leave the first team lads out? I suspect Haaland will play for them, and probably KDB.

    When is it?

    I think we will go full strength

          I was really hoping for Portugal to reach the semis so most of City's players would be unavailable. Now I reckon Pep might put in *******o Silva to piss us off. As well as Cancelo and Dias.
          One tit for another.

            City will go as close to full strength as they can imo. Do not think there is a chance that they will play youth players or anyone of that level against us at their place.


            Injuries aside, think the only player they might not have available is Alverez.

              Some of the WC players won't make it - but I'd go full strength.

                One bad thing about winning the game would mean an extra three games having to be fit in between 2nd Jan and the 4th Feb as there would the Quarter final of the LC and the two semi finals.

                We currently have five games between 2nd Jan/4th Feb so that would push us up to 8, and we have three in 9 days at the end of December.

                  Our options up front are so thin with Jota and Diaz out. It’s going to be hard enough managing even just the PL/CL schedule without overplaying Salah, Bobby and Nunez.

                  Let the kids have the domestic cups.

                    Going to be hard enough as it us to get top 4.

                    I would do the same.

                      I actually forgot about this fixture and after last year I have no issues with us fielding squaddies trying to impress.

                        If it was anyone but City... I dont see Pep playing a "weakened" team. I am guessing Klopp wont want us to get tanked.

                        Not sure I would care if he did and we lost 10-0... With Diaz out we need to manage players up front as well as the defence.
