not up with the rules on this comp, but do away goals count? I know years ago away goals counted after extra time, but extra time doesn't exist anymore
In Semi-Finals and Finals extra-time is played. In the event of teams being tied on goals, away goals rule comes into force at the end of extra-time.
No.not up with the rules on this comp, but do away goals count? I know years ago away goals counted after extra time, but extra time doesn't exist anymore
If it is a draw, do away goals count and is extra time played?
For the first time since 1980, the away goals rule will NOT apply in the League Cup semi-finals.
In addition, ties will now go straight to penalties if the scores remain level after two legs.
Regulation 14.5 of the tournament states: “In the Semi-Final ties, if the aggregate score is level at the end of the second game no extra time shall be played and the tie shall be decided by the taking of kicks from the penalty mark in accordance with procedures as approved by IFAB.”
Higuain is no better than Morata. Those twats at Chelsea are just throwing money around. He will get knocked about in the prem, hardly a target man for the way their manager sets up. Fucking hate Chelsea. Why don’t they just fuck off? They ain’t winning the prem again with city buying it. Romans heart isn’t in it anymore as his wallet shows.Chelsea will if Higuain is announced before Wednesday
I'm expecting the pattern of the game to be that Chelsea have the majority of the ball. We're going to have be mobile, and have a threat on the counter. Even before his struggles at the weekend, I didn't think this would be a game for Llorente for instance.
All depends on if we get anyone else back fit, but I'd probably look to go with something like:
GazzaIf Sissoko/Moura don't make it, I'd (and I cant believe I'm saying this) quite possibly throw Nkoudou in who can fulfil a similar role.
Whoever Toby Jan Rose
Winks Dier Eriksen
Sissoko Lamela Moura
Subs: Lloris, Sanchez, RB, Davies, Skipp, Nkoudou, Llorente
True but that doesn't stop managers picking players - look at Alsonso.
But has Aurier done something else as well?
People will hate me for saying this but, given our dire situation with injuries, I'd be inclined to simply bin off the next two matches so that we can rest the remaining decent players we have, and recover a few of the walking wounded before Watford (10 days to recover).
We're not beating City in any cup final without our key players. It's so depressing to say that, but standing in the cold at Fulham yesterday watching us struggle to create a decent chance against a crap team really concerned me.
Then Alli went off injured, easily our biggest goal threat.
If we get another muscle injury in the Chelsea match or the FA Cup match at the weekend, we truly are screwed for the league and Champions League.
For our future, it's so important that we finish in the top 4 this season. If we get to a Carabao Cup final and an FA Cup Quarter Final it does absolutely nothing for the club, apart from just to put more strain on the most injury ravaged squad we've had in my time as a fan.
Of course, if the club had the intention to strengthen the squad I'd feel differently about this, but they clearly aren't going to do that.
Play N'Koudou and the Kids (sounds like a 90's alt-rock band).
We pick Lloris, he was done for drink driving just like Alonso and could have killed somebody. Fact he didn't is not really the point.
This Alonso stuff is pathetic and ridiculously hypocritical.
What did you stake? I assume £500?All I want is Lamela to play so i can bet on him being booked. Won me £500 last leg at Wembley within minutes of coming on
If we do that, we will lose. We play best when we get on the front foot and control tempo
