Id take the dive in this game.

Think about it, turn up to contain city, whilst the manager and his staff scout the city players. See where they move, when they recieve the ball, what they look to do with it etc. We may lose, but come 2 weeks time, we could be effective in running their best players out the game.

I would be tempted to give Lukaku some added rest and field a false 9ish front third of lennon/miralles/deulofeu and look to run city off their feet. Then in the 2nd leg, with rom, go back to plan a. This would keep them guessing

Martinez says Robles has been “terrific” but seems clear that Howard will play v City. Says the experience of Howard is important with such a young back-line.

Well then. We're out.

Possibly the strangest pre-match thread I've ever read. It's kept me entertained though.

I dont get why you would play Howard here. Give Robles a chance to basically scout the opposition in game without worrying about going out of a cup if we get beat. Look at their movement, get an idea for their set pieces. Whats Howard going to do besides flap about?
