Expand If we get a good result away to Sheffield our next game is Burnley at home, we could afford to play a very strong team with good rotation in those games. I can't see Eddie and co taking this cup lightly after last seasons journey in it. We'll see I suppose but I still think we can do it. I hate the idea that we're to think we're beaten before a ball is kicked, although that might change tomorrow if we've to play away to Real Madrid.

HaydnNUFC Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 That scenario is why Livramento is a very good signing. Otherwise we'd have had to play Trippier in all those games or Manquillo against Man City. Wouldn't fancy giving Krafth Man City as his first competitive game back.

ChrisMcQuillan Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 (edited) Man Utd have been drawn at home 9 out of their last 10 FA Cup Draws, and 5 out of their last 6 Carabao Cup draws. Chances of that happening randomly are 0.18%. Edited August 30, 2023 by ChrisMcQuillan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

My point is that I don't think it's suspicious given the many draws across the teams that a team has a low probability run over a few years.

TheBrownBottle Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 Didn’t realise so many would be down about this one. Your best chance of beating Man City is now, not in the later stages when they take it seriously. That’s not to say that they’ll roll over or owt, but it is a home draw. If we get last them then at least Man City & Spurs are already gone. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stottie Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 (edited) It's hard to explain, but I think we've reached a point where to move forward, we need more competitive games against hard opposition to learn how to play hard opposition on equal or near-equal terms. I suspect this was a problem against Liverpool at the weekend. Aside from the revenue, getting into the CL so early in the project should be a great experience for the lads in this regard. In this Carabao cup game, City will not be at anything like full strength, but they will still be playing City style football and Pep will be calling the shots and managing the game. They'll be more to gain from this experience than we'd get playing a Mansfield low block. Edited August 31, 2023 by Stottie Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
