Re: 2019/20 English Football League Carabao Cup and FA Cup thread

[RealGunner]

At least Liverpool will be kicked out

[Nishankly]

True

[RealGunner]

Hopefully southampton can upset spurs as well.

But it looks like FA Cup is city's in the end again. They will take it seriously

[Nishankly]

Well there are two parts to this.

The first is Klopp uses this game to bring back the unfit injured players which would mean Lovren, Matip, Fabinho , Keita, Mane and Milner get minutes. yeah we have injuries too.

Other part would be the squad of Curtis Jones, Chirivella, Neco, Larouci are able to win this game assuming they also don't get a break in the winter.

And we play Chelsea with a comparatively decent squad

[RealGunner]

SAKAAAAA WHAT A HIT

Immense talent

[RealGunner]

NKETIAHHHHHHHH

2-0

what a fantastic team goal

[Nishankly]

Wasn't he destroying the Championship? Why has he been recalled early?

[RealGunner]

Doesn't suit Bielsa's system since he is a poacher. Wasn't getting enough time. We called him back

[Jay29]

I love Guendouzi. Wound up the Bournemouth fans all game, then nutmegged Gosling so badly they briefly forgot why they were booing him. Had an excellent game in midfield.

Still yet to see a complete performance under Arteta but that should come with time. Meanwhile, we're already seeing excellent team goals like Nketiah's tonight. Even Mustafi now has the confidence to step out and play good passes into the forwards.

Ffs Matic of all people

[Firenze]

Matic has stepped up his performances the last month or so, he wants (and is apparently getting) a contract extension, despite stinking up the pitch for us the last year before that

[Thimmy]

Well, it’s not that he’s a bad player, but he’s old and insanely slow, which makes it less forgiving when he makes mistakes. He was far more productive when he had more athleticism. Anyway, I find it funny that he’s the only goalscorer so far. Will be even more funny if he becomes the match winner.

Where the hell was Greenwood in that first half?

[Kick]

Maguire, what a scrub!

[Kick]

Maguire, what a scrub!

Matic, what a scrub!

[Hapless_Hans]

When push comes to shove, I simply have to say I don't really rate Sterling that very highly.
I mean he's amazing, but ultimately I find his performances, in the big games I watch them that is, more frustrating and annoying than impressive, and I'm glad he does not play for my team.

City should be 3, 4 goals up but they are mental midgets and have no great mentality as a team.

[Firenze]

Matic

@Thimmy I'm not against keeping him around as a squad player and I agree, he was class in his prime but he's too damn slow and static

[Hapless_Hans]

referee stops City being two on one before the goal with Bernardo and Aguero, because Mata of Utd made a foul throw before??!

[Firenze]

Pep humbled again

[Unique]

Manure come up short again.

[Glory]

Maguire's best performance in a United shirt if you count out that howler he had and Martial's perhaps the worst. To think Ole sees him as his main striker for majority of the 2nd half of the season. Madness. Anyway Fred is my favourite United player these days. Absolute joy to watch.

[Kick]

Pep humbled again

[elfmeter]

A bit surprised there is not more uproar from the Limeys about Gerry Föregner making a mockery of the greatest cup competition in the world.

[Nishankly]

The salt

UPDATE: The FA have refused to allow any broadcasters to broadcast tonight’s replay against Shrewsbury. If you aren’t there tonight, it’s the Radio or nothing.

But Liverpool are disrespecting the cup? Disgraceful.

[El Gunner]

what salt? The FA is protecting their darling team from public scrutiny because they know Klopp won't be there and he and his team are not taking the competition serious.
