Man City Carabao Cup Build Up Thread

[Kenny]

May as well just set fire to your money.

10pm tonight you will be furious you didn't follow Glasgow to Ladbrookes...

I hope so.....

I don't think we will win, however

Cup games always throw up the shocks
City may make wholesale changes
22/1 in a 2 horse race is too good a price to turn down

Glasgow - on Betfair Wolves are 19/1 to win with the draw no bet. That is a far better bet than Wolves winning and both teams scoring

City will make wholesale changes.

They'll still start with Yaya, Aguero, Bernardo Silva, Gundogan, Sterling, Danilo, Otanendi, Mangala etc.

Tonight will be tough. Hopefully a lot of fun no matter what the score is though.

 

[Dinowolf]

So I ask myself, which do I want?

1). Wolves to win the Caraboa (League Cup) or

2). Wolves to get promotion.

Has to be promotion.

So Nuno, pick a side to reflect that, please.

 

[The Bear]

Bet of the day is Wolves +3 handicap - 10/11.

They only beat the Baggies 2-1 in the previous round. Can't see us losing by 3 goals.

Why does it have to be a binary choice?

 

[Dinowolf]

Why does it have to be a binary choice?

I'm trying to be realistic. esp. as we are still building our squad.

For me the priority has to be promotion.

 

[machin05]

We can still get promoted if we beat City though!

Cup ticket news��: I have 2 tickets in the @Wolves end for tonight's cup tie with Man City. Best response wins them. Decision by 2pm...go! ��

 

[Del Woppio]

Play the best team. Maybe at a push rest bonatini and doc in the absence of genuine alternatives, but give ourselves best chance of an upset. Just think how much out recruitment pool will increase if we win this competition and end up in Europe

Yep. If we win (we won't) then the quarter final will be on 29th/30th November. We're not in the midst of a particularly busy period then and it would be sandwiched between games against Bolton and Blues which I think we'd win with a reserve team if need be. We also have an extra two days rest compared to normal as the Blues game is on the Monday.

Most of the players he's going to bring in tonight are good anyway, I don't have a problem with us changing the team around. It's not like we're chucking Frank Nouble and the Egg in.

That's not a bad bet....
May take that as well, Greedy as I am

 

[Stan Hullis]

I just want to give City a great game no matter what the score + it is going to be a great atmosphere in the away end in any event so looking forward to a fun evening.

City could win 6-0, we could nick it 2-1...I'm not too fussed.

Some of the responses are excellent :icon_lol:

My favourite:

2 tickets from Mr Dalrymple
Give them to me its so simple
For no other reason
Than this is OUR season
And nothin else rhymes with Dalrymple

[StuardoWulf]

Setting off in a bit I'll leave it to Nuno but hope for a strongish team. Cheeky £5 on us will pay for the night if we have a another unexpected win

Don't think it's really going to make a massive difference beyond the existing Mendes influence, already signing players from Champions League clubs to play in the Championship thanks to his reach.

For any of you travelling by car, there's a huge fire close to the Etihad and Police are advising people to use public transport as there are road closures in place
