Like I said before, it's like no one watched the Man City game. I expect us to go to Old Trafford and be competitive regardless of the individuals selected. Expand We can afford to make changes to the back four, no argument about that. But also resting the likes of Bruno & Longstaff? Might as well just give Man U a quick call and tell them they can just go straight through, without us making the trip down there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wandy Posted October 30, 2023 Share Posted October 30, 2023 It's also worth noting that we beat City because the likes of Bruno were brought on after they played us off the park in the 1st half. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NUFC91 Posted October 30, 2023 Share Posted October 30, 2023 Don't get all this talk of dead game etc. We've won nothing in 50 odd year and took this competition seriously last year and got to final. I know injuries and Europe play a factor but suggesting likes of Hall in midfield is never going to happen. Howe will want to win this game and won't play a load of kids, esprcially with amount of fans there on the night. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand We also won because the no-hopers in the line-up made it to HT with the scores deadlocked and City's vulnerabilities exposed. If the game is there to be won after the break then I wouldn't object to someone like Gordon being brought on again this time, either. Tbh, even since the City game (which featured ten changes from the league game prior) we've lost five of those who started/came on. So any talk of ten changes again is pretty much a moot point anyway; certainly one of Wilson/Gordon will have to play. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vaj Posted October 30, 2023 Share Posted October 30, 2023 Only ones I would rest are Trippier, Burn and one of Gordon or Joelinton (with the other going up front). Other than that, it is just anyone else who has a knock of any variety that we may not know about. Bruno will have an enforced rest soon as well. Decent chance he gets booked at the weekend and will then miss the Bournemouth game so I would start him on Wednesday. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
