Rent boys
Not sure nowadays which is our full strength versus our 2nd X1 aside from De Geea, Harry and AWB
Chelsea to get extreme revenge for the silly 4-0 win on the opening day.
I see Chelsea get another easy home tie
Ah darn, well at least they will continue their luck of having easy draws all time.
If Jones is in the squad then I’m not watching
Chelsea are going to get their revenge on us far quicker than they thought I see.
Chelsea don’t have Hazard anymore, we’ll be okay. And didn’t we beat them in the cup last season? We can do it again
Liverpool v Arsenal
Who do we fancy?
Who do we fancy?
Every year we have to go to Stamford bridge in the cup. feck sake.
Chelsea and United face each other, Liverpool and Arsenal face each other. Meanwhile City get Southampton at home.
What a joke.
What a joke.
Yeah you mean they didn’t play for him when we beat them 4-0 back then?
It'll be far from the FA Cup game at Stamford Bridge last year. We're abysmal right now and going from bad to worse each game while Chelsea improving steadily in their game.
We seem to get Chelsea away in a cup every bloody year.
We play Spurs at home before it, more first teamers required probably. Depends on who fields what, but i don't expect this to a annual thrashing like it is for them, their kids aren't bad either. I can probably see us throwing this with our upcoming schedule.
Can’t we have Chelsea at home for once instead? Ffs
People say the same about Chelsea. The draw is random. Rochdale at home was hardly a difficult draw.
It's the fact that City haven't had a difficult draw in ages, and the remaining big teams all draw each other. The amount of luck they've got is insane.
Their draws have been suspect for 2 years in a row.
Get real, we just played Rochdale at home, people moaning City have drawn Southampton.
It's unreal how far we are falling.
It's unreal how far we are falling.
It’s embarrassing and until the Glazers and their cronies feck off, we will continue to be the laughing stock of football
You sound like Blue Moon and RAWK of recent years
We got the run of the ball. It flattered us and we’re deluding ourselves if we think otherwise
Yeah we fluked it
We should have been 2 down before the penalty. Clearly you see otherwise as we’ve made huge progress since

No I agree with you. The 4-0 was an absolute fluke.
City starting Thomas Doyle in midfield, should be interesting.
Marco Silva really does hate the Everton Academy. He seems determined not to give any of their teenagers a go. 
Meanwhile Pep going with Garcia and Doyle, interesting. With some young lads on the bench too.

Traffic jam in Manchester?
Otamendi 1-0.
City PR department will be desperate for Doyle to make it given two of his grandparents are City ‘legends’.
1-0 to City Otamendi header.

You'd think Southampton after the 9-0 mulling with work really hard on not giving away a goal at a set piece.

they don’t even want to play at all. Total low block, hoping to prevent another humiliation it seems.
Gomes could have been a decent quarterback. Pinging footballs with accuracy 50 meters like it's nothing.
Do you have a suggestion on who Silva should be giving a shot here? Also funny you decide to compare him to Pep who pretty much didn't play any youths in his first 2 years.
Everton have a big squad, a full 25 players without counting any youngsters. They're also in a slump and you can't afford to chuck in youngsters "just because" when you need your players to perform. City are playing at home to Southampton who just lost 0-9. They're not going to have to do any defending.Marco Silva really does hate the Everton Academy.

They don't even have any on their bench. I'm sorry but that's not good enough, what signal does that send out to their academy players? They've got Gibson who has got glowing reviews throughout their academy and many of their fans want him to be given a chance (CB). They have
Anthony Gordon who again is getting rave reviews and yet nothing. Everton have some very good young players coming through and Marco Silva has given them zero minutes and zero appearances on the bench.
This is an Everton team which has so far been in shite form. If your seniors are being shite and inconsistent then why not give a youngster a go or at least reward their form with a spot on the bench? Instead you're offering them zero hope for getting into the team ahead of that bunch of incompetent muppets.
You can throw all the shit at Pep and City but this season they've rewarded their young players with starts and minutes in the Cup. Fair fecks.
Always did in the League Cup at least, to be fair, apart from the finals / semis that is.
I am slightly biased against Silva though who I think is a shite Manager.
Pep is playing young players because he knows they can play now. He didn't play them before before they couldn't according to him. I'm not throwing shit at him, just stating facts. You need to be good enough to play. United are playing a bunch of youngsters and that's not doing us much good.
