So the lower league teams all drew each other, and the PL teams all drew each other... except Burton and Leicester.

City get an easy game vs Southampton, while the other top six clubs all play each other.

I'd like to know the odds of a draw panning out this way.

Liverpool face expulsion for fielding Chirivella who might be ineligible.

mane is one of the best forwards in the world but sometimes he misses some of the most easiest chances :facepalm:

by Jay29 Sat Sep 28, 2019 12:05 pm

They won't get chucked out. Sunderland played an ineligible player before and only got a fine.

by Nishankly Sat Sep 28, 2019 12:07 pm

Mane what a miss, you can't miss these in these type of matches

Mickey mouse trophy and no squad for constant midweek games plus a two legged intensive semi final, that reschedules multiple games midweek later and a possible final heartbreak in February

Gotta love Sheffield United's overlapping centre backs. Chris Wilder is secretly Jorge Sampaoli in disguise.

Why? They have such good shape, having a go at us and you can't define this as parking the bus. Its great tactics with equal mix of positivity and percieved negativity.

SU will be fine if they keep deploying the burnley model.

Sheffield should be playing CL and we should be playing in third regional league.

Another chance goes begging for Liverpool.

Might be one of those days. hmm

Our first draw came after 6 wins last season as well hmm

we had so many options to play across diagonal passes in midfield but we keep playing sideways passes. Only our fullbacks, Matip and occasionally VanDjik play some neat passes in the attacking third, otherwise our midfield is so useless.

I mean we have said this last season as well, our defense are better passers and playmakers than our midfielders. Midfield is just to make up the numbers bar Fabinho.

FM legend John Fleck looking good out there.

Alexander-Arnold is having a really tough time, on the other hand. Sheff Utd are just hitting balls into the space he's vacating.
