Carabao Cup QF Draw - 22.12.2022

[KrefelderFox666]

After the Man City vs Liverpool match.

https://www.efl.com/news/2022/december/carabao-cup-quarter-final-draw-details/

 

Games to be played the midweek after the FA Cup weekend (w/c/ 9th January). Who do we fancy? Home or away?

 

Newcastle

Wolves

Southampton

Forest

Charlton

Man U

Man City/Liverpool

 

Any home game is fine for me, don't really care about opponent. Obviously a "lower" team might be preferable but we can beat anyone in all honesty.

Good chance against anyone really. Man City and Liverpool likely to rotate, so really is a level playing field. Hope we prioritise this competition!! 

[AaronH]

Anyone but Newcastle!

Why is everyone treating Newcastle like prime Barca these days  the love in for them is rediculous

[AjcW]

Could easily be an all premier league affair by tonight, which is a little sad at the QF stage. Goes to show mid table sides taking it a lot more seriously now though! 

 

Nailed on Liverpool away again though isn't it

If Blackburn go full strength I’d fancy them to beat Forest.

Likewise, Burnley if they go for it, and Man Utd are slightly off the pace I wouldn’t be surprised to see an upset.

Forest at home

Would be great, Blackburn especially, they're looking good under JDT

[StanSP]

A League Cup quarter final? 

 

It can only be Man City. 

 

(if they get through) 

[HybridFox]

Still probably the best shot we'll have at Europe despite the upturn in league form

 

Also a chance for us to complete the Domestic Clean Sweep under the current owners and complete the collection for Vardy

[FosseSpark]

Home draw - anyone but man city, liverpool

[bovril]

Charlton away. Nice ground and memories of Tony Cottee. 

[Voll Blau]

Would love to tick off Charlton's ground if I thought I'd be able to get the time off for it.

Someone proper shit at home like forest or wolves

For me its more a feeling like they are 100% after a cup and so are a slightly bigger threat than a less focussed Manc or Lpool

Probably because it's the third (arguably second) toughest draw we could get I'd imagine, I don't think anyone is putting them on a pedestal

thought it was more the fact we would have played them extremely recently.

Even if it's that the same logic would apply brother!

[coolhandfox]

Any of these at home. 

 

Newcastle

Wolves

Southampton

Blackburn/Forest

Charlton/Brighton

Man U/Burnley

 

Any of these away Charlton, Blackburn. 

 

Avoid Man City/Liverpool

[CosbehFox]

Saints home - Wolves might give up on it with more pressing matters as well

[HighPeakFox]

I'd like to say in advance that the draw is a fix, unless we get a good draw, in which case I never said this and I cannot be held accountable for the comment.

[Lcfc0123]

Forest away 

[Dan]

Don't want Forest twice in a week although they'd be one of the kinder ties. We should be totally going for this. Best route we have back into Europe.

 

If there's a god the winner of Man City or Liverpool will get Newcastle.

 

Feel like a Man City v Newcastle final is nailed on though annoyingly.

 

I think we'll get Man Utd.

 

Isn't it the 5th year in 6 we've made the quarters? We are usually very reliable to get to them but almost always go out in them.
