Carabao Cup 2018/19

[Abraders]

Can you really see us beating Leicester away? When was the last time we won an away game, I can't even remember!!

Allardyce won us a couple.

One was against Newcastle I think.

Huddersfield away last season, but I don't even think I can count them because they are an absolutely horrendous team

so before that was it like Newcastle in the new year

we are bad aren't we

... What's even more crazy is that after the Leicester game, the non-internationals in the squad (Schneiderlin, Walcott, Zouma, Kenny, Davies, Bernard, Lookman, Calvert-Lewin, probably Digne, to name a few) will have 15 days off before our next game. I know football is a quicker, more athletic game nowadays than even 25 years ago, but FFS, how much rest do they need to avoid fatigue? Or is it more about giving squad players a run, though to the detriment of playing XI continuity?

I disagree that football is more athletic today than it was 25 years ago. The ball's lighter/softer/more aerodynamic and it looks as though they hit it harder because of it. The rest is media hype.

Looks back to our 80s team and tries to think of any modern player more of an athlete than any of them. Entire (bigger) league season, two domestic cup competitions, no international breaks, plus Europe .... We used what? 14 players?

"What do we want?"

"Europe!"

"Right then, how do we want to get there?"

"Well OBVIOUSLY not by winning a trophy we've never won before and first in well over 20 years"

"Right then, let's get a manager who doesn't care about 'winning' then"

7 shots at home to Southampton in a cup game, that's less than 1 shot every 10 minutes

Liverpool would have 7 shots in 10 mins against city at home on sunday

its pathetic

these players are absolute passengers that need a kick up the backside

Only the fa cup left to play for. Our season is already over in October, should we draw a team higher than us in the league in the Fa cup, no doubt we'll be out. Same old, same old.

Se if we had of beaten Southampton and got past Leicester we would have a tie against City after tonight draw, master stroke from Marko avoiding that one!!!

I barely watch cup competitions after we've been knocked out. It just makes me angry.

Im like that, one of those teams in that list above will win that cup this season and we wont, that is very annoying
