Carabao Cup & FA Cup Thread

Feck... Wanted an easy draw at home.

Damn, followed the draw live and was almost relieved when I saw the Manchester clubs, Arsenal, Spurs and Liverpool all get drawn elsewhere but then we get the only remaining "tough" draw and away nonetheless.

Remains to be seen how much effort Leicester will be putting to the League Cup though. They have so many fixtures coming up this season and with the CL group stages and PL games surely taking priority over the EFL Cup we may see a severely weakened Leicester side here.

Of course we had to get the toughest draw of all the big teams...

Oh bloody hell!! Just remember being there for that stupid 4-3 league cup win at the Bridge..back when results like that were more shocking now case of pfft we let in 3...

They go to Anfield on 10th of September, then four days later they play their first CL group stage match, then it's Burnley at home on 17th of September, Chelsea at home in the mid-week and then they go to Old Trafford on 24th of September. CL group stage match again a few days later.

So pretty much a busy schedule for them in the span of two weeks and a half. Liverpool and United away, Chelsea at home, plus two CL matches. And Burnley at home as well. Think they will most definitely use a mixed team for this one.

Really cant see where RLC fits in with us mate. Theres not a position I would think about him as 1st or 2nd selection.

Both us and Leicester are in different places this season. Both on and off the pitch. And thats what makes supporting Chelsea such a roller coaster ride. Right now we are on that relatively smooth ride up at the start and we have to make the most out of every chance we get. But after watching Liverpool dismantle them yesterday I'm not worried about Leicester too much. It shows just what a big part that N'Golo had in their season last year.

I think hes going to get a bad reception and I hope it puts some fire in his feet to show them just what they are missing.

I still cant get over just how good a deal we got on him. I would love to see Chalobah working with him until we can put him alongside a Nainggolan or Verratti

Chelsea is number ball 2. 

Chelsea will probably get Arsenal or Liverpool and get knocked out.

1. West Ham away...URGH!

2. Man United v Man City. Hope Guardiola smashes Mourinho again

3. Liverpool v Spurs should be fun

4. A fucking easy draw for Arsenal!

[LAM09 7,043]

Not a bad draw.

[Jase 43,479]

Spare a thought for Mourinho. He faces Liverpool (a), Chelsea (a) and Man City (h) in the space of 10 days next month!
