GWT: 2023-24 English Domestic Cups (FA/Carabao)

[Live in the Now]

Jota lol

Sagoe Jr. with a solid debut, you can see why Arsenal bought him from Fulham. Slick dribbler.

This is a game where you just want to see a Havertz goal, but he simply doesn't do enough to get any luck or bounces his way. Kai Passenger should be his surname.

He created a phenomenal chance that should have been finished by Nelson.

Also, Sagoe came over 8 years ago from Fulham. I don't think we really bought him.

Anyway, back to the game, I get why Ramsdale smothered the ball there, but I would have love to seen him go for goal with Flekken up in the box. He has the leg for it.

Yet Provedel has more goals and a higher Gx than Havertz lol.

Newcastle up on City is interesting

 

[hatterson]

Newcastle up on City is interesting

Would be the earliest City has exited the cup in a decade.

 

[Venkman]

Ex-Spurs coach McKenna will be a good one.

They won League 1 last year and are 2nd in the Championship this season, would look great on his CV

Spurs u18 coach and United fan

 

[Savant]

Jota lol

You can tell he hates Leicester: which I am here for

It's a shame they had such an easy draw

I mean that’s why these two things are related though aren’t they? Haven’t had early exits because they’ve played dross. Playing Burton Albion like three years in a row helps you stay in.

I’m more curious about who is next to go to Old Trafford

 

[bluesfan94]

It's amazing how insistent one can be about how right they are despite being repeatedly shown otherwise. Just last year, same cup, same round. City had Chelsea

 

[JeffreyLFC]

The Boss has been a revelation. What a signing!

2023 @ Newcastle
2022 x Chelsea
2021 x Wycombe
2020 x Bournemouth
2019 @ Preston
2018 x Oxford
2017 @ WBA
2016 @ Swansea

So what’s wrong? Last two years? Sure, (if Chelsea counts), but all the other round 3 Pep draws? Look for yourself.

Recency bias is only thing that says otherwise but that’s clearly the exception, not the rule.

So what’s wrong?

Half of them are PL teams and this is supposed to be proof of anything?

Guess you can't have the difficulty of Leicester City, Derby County, Norwich, Lincoln City, MK Dons, Chelsea, Leicester City, Derby County.

In other words, since 16-17, City has faced more PL teams in the 3rd Round of the Carabao Cup than Liverpool, but somehow City always get easy draws. Here, I'll add another two years to match the 10 years @hatterson mentioned.

City 2023 @ Newcastle 2022 x Chelsea 2021 x Wycombe 2020 x Bournemouth 2019 @ Preston 2018 x Oxford 2017 @ WBA 2016 @ Swansea 2015 @ Sunderland 2014 x Sheffield Wednesday

Liverpool 2023 @ Leicester City 2022 x Derby County 2021 @ Norwich City 2020 @ Lincoln City 2019 @ MK Dons 2018 x Chelsea 2017 x Leicester 2016 @ Derby County 2015 x Carlisle United 2014 x Middlesbrough

So let's just stop your whole narrative. It's wrong, it's exhausting, and it's tired.

It's literally 50/50 in the past 10 years, but yeh, exception not rule

Liverpool's list of opponents over that same period has roughly the same quality. That's because in the third found of the cup there's a ton of lower league teams left over.

Poch hasn’t selected madueke for a few weeks and today said it wasn’t about injuries

I mean I didn’t mention ten years because I was specifically only looking at Peps tenure but whatever floats your boat

That’s fine. It tilts. Take off the last two years and it looks a bit different.

Anyway who is coming ti old trafford?

 

[bleedblue1223]

Poch hasn’t selected madueke for a few weeks and today said it wasn’t about injuries

Sell him to Strasbourg for 200M.

 

[Jussi]

Newcastle coming to Old Trafford next round.

 

[bluesfan94]

I mean I didn’t mention ten years because I was specifically only looking at Peps tenure but whatever floats your boat

Sure, but it's not like his tenure changes the fact. It just is a little bit closer. Liverpool still has the easier draws in the 3rd Round and it's still 50/50 for City

 

[Savant]

I’m not the one who still brings this up every draw. Yeah LFC have gotten easier draws in the last two years than Man City at this stage. That’s fine. I’m over it.

My new thing is this Old Trafford streak that has continued! Cannot wait for you weirdos to be like “I THOUGHT UTD NEVER GOT AWAY DRAWS LOL” when they break their 12 in a row and counting streak

 

[57special]

This Livramento kid for Newcastle looked pretty good in his first start. He shut down Grealish all day, and looked to have decent composure with the ball. They'll need him, as Trippier will need to be rested.

In general, Man City had a lot of possession, but didn't look dangerous, while Newcastle did have some moments where they did look dangerous, though the whole game was pretty tight and careful.

Livramento is another Chelsea special

 

[Jussi]

Full draw:

Mansfield Town v Port Vale
Ipswich Town v Fulham
Manchester United v Newcastle United
Bournemouth v Liverpool
Chelsea v Blackburn Rovers
West Ham United v Arsenal
Everton v Burnley
Exeter City v Middlesbrough

 

[spintheblackcircle]

I'll take Ipswich to take it all.

Pools are random garbage so they don't have to come up with an actual system. It makes the competition about luck.
