Have you been in a coma for all of these years? The Carabao Cup is surely the most coveted trophy for any City fan - I was in tears for weeks when we lost to Plymouth last year.

GK, Bakinson, Kalas, Eliasson, Afobe, Rowe, Palmer, Weimann Will be an interesting one tonight I think. Expect LJ will select a stronger team than I have. Here’s how I would line up: Bentley Moore | Kalas | Baker Pereira | Massengo | Nagy | Rowe Szmodics Afobe / Semenyo Subs: Gilmartin | Hunt | Brownhill Palmer Eliasson | Diedhiou Weimann Assumes Pereira fit and no knocks for any of those that played Saturday. If you add Mäenpää, Wright, Taylor and Dasilva I think these 22 above are gonna be our match day squad options...possibly one of Bakinson / Walsh Watkins, Adelakun and Bakinson / Walsh to find a loan. O’Dowda can add to the 21 if / when he signs a contract. Re persistence with 5212 / 3412....if you’d said that before Saturday, I would’ve said occasional usage....but I think if Nagy and Brownhill can partner like they did, coupled with Palmer in the 10, it does allow us to go 2 up top. Harsh on Eliasson....although I can see us going 4411 (Palmer and one striker) at times and this bringing Eliasson into the picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perfect game to give Afobe more minutes, likewise Nagy, hopefully Semenyo, Eliasson and Szmodics get a start. Would love to see Massengo start too but think he's more likely from the bench. I don’t disagree but my only argument would be does playing this lineup mean they get a more vigorous training session tomorrow? At the moment they will only have had Friday and Monday and I imagine Friday wouldn’t have been a hard training session. I do not know how it works but would sparing them tonight mean they get better understandings during the week. Like I said LJ generally goes quite strong in these games so I doubt it will be what I put. Just at the same time think we need to be careful giving these new foreign recruits too many minutes too soon. They won’t be used to that strain. Read today Nagy said he was feeling it after the Birmingham game and he describes himself as a fit player. Same with Periera at RB or RWB. He played 26 times in a slower paced game last season and now have to ask him to play 50 in the championship? Think it needs to be considered Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NcnsBcfc Posted August 13, 2019 Report Share Posted August 13, 2019 Should be a good game, a bit gutted not to be going all in all. Those there, will probably see the debuts of a number of the summer signings. It's always interesting to see their first starts. As a side piece; will we be playing Bentley tonight? With him and Gilmartin tbe only fit/available keepers; it's taking a chance on him picking up a knock. Would rather play Gilmartin in the circumstances.

Mr Popodopolous Posted August 13, 2019 Report Share Posted August 13, 2019 Attacking but very open to being countered on that side- though Szmodics and Semenyo as a front 2 would definitely be interesting! Is Maenpaa back fit now then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
