Carabao Cup & FA Cup Thread

[Viper22 2,418]

Not the worst draw we could've got. Confident that we can get through to the semis if we play a full strength team (maybe with Ake, Remy and Zouma over JT, Costa and Matic).

Could really see Bournemouth beating Liverpool and Newcastle giving Spurs problems. Saints will cruise into the last 4 as should we tbh.

Is the semi-final played at Wembley or not?

no but semi finals are 2 legs

Will be a difficult away tie, but could have got tougher opposition in PL clubs

[MrExcalibur100 7,124]

Another thing I've noticed is that since Jose's come back, we've been getting only away fixtures in the cup competitions.

In the league cup we had:

Last season: Swindon away, Arsenal away, Sunderland away. This season : Shrewsbury away, now Derby away

In the FA cup we had:

Last season: Derby away, Man City away

The only home games we've had under Jose have been Stoke in the Fa Cup last season and Bolton in the league cup this season.

So that's 7 away total and only 2 at home. That's weird.

Agreed, we need Costa or Remy at least. Drogba on the bench maybe for the final if we are at least 2 up.

Ties to be played 16th/17th December. Maybe we could take Mo Salah up there and leave him there over Christmas. A naughty child could wake up with a lump of coal and a Mo Salah in their stocking on Christmas Day...

give them Mikel

give them Mikel

he can be sent to work unpaid for 18 hours a day at the Bombardier factory there for the rest of his life

then again I quite like the geordies perhaps we could send him to N Korea .. they have a way of dealing with losers

[nyikolajevics 2,422]

Sounds like a easy game however we did struggle a bit with Shrewsbury

We could destroy Shrewsbury and Derby with our strongest team but the COC is for young players and benchwarmers.

Agreed, but it would be nice if we can win this cup, the European cup and the Premier league cup again

Bit harsh

Excellent work Newcastle. With City out, even more desperate than before in wanting us to win the League Cup.

As for the quarter finals draw, not the worst tie but could have been slightly better. Will be a tricky tie, just like the FA Cup game there last season, but a winnable one nonetheless.

Don't need a separate thread for the same topic. Have merged with this.
