Topic: ⚽ EFL Carabao Cup 2024/25 Season - page 27. (Read 4882 times)

The fact that all 8 teams in the quarter-finals are Premier League teams means we won't be watching a fairy tale this season. Last night, Arteta fielded a strong squad instead of resting his players against Preston, and left the field with a 3-0 win. I think Arteta really wants to win the Carabao Cup this year

I was thinking that Manchester United players would react to the departure of ten Hag.  As I expected there was a team which was different than what we have seen in the recent years against Leicester. I'm going to bet on this team to beat Chelsea in front of their fans at the weekend also.

Van Nistelrooy has managed to lead Manchester United to an impressive victory in his first game as interim manager, so it has sparked huge joy from the fans, because in addition to successfully maintaining their pace in the current Carabao Cup, of course a big win over Leicester City can at least lift their mentality after being slumped by defeat from West Ham in the previously Premier League match, But I don't think the victory will be a reason for the management to make Van Nistelrooy the permanent coach, because they has reportedly struck a deal with Amorim to replace Ten Hag as next red devil coach, Manchester United performance in the match was indeed very impressive and even every attack they built was very effective in destroying the Leicester City defense, But I think Van Nistelrooy ability to coach has not been proven even though he impressed in the first game, because it is very important for Manchester United to recruit a really quality coach and can take Manchester United better in the long run.

But Erik ten Hag since his arrival at Old Trafford has also done the same thing as you mean, namely the player looks serious about getting a position in the starting line up so he managed to give two trophies to Manchester United.
For Manchester United and the fans, the two trophies seem incomplete because the trophy they are aiming for is the Premier League. Hopefully what I said is not wrong.

If there are those who say that Manchester United's game yesterday with a 5-2 victory over Leicester City with coach Ruud Van Nistelrooy was something unimportant considering it was only a Carabao Cup competition, can that be accepted as a Manchester United fan?

Am not surprised seeing Manchester United react this way against Leicester city, actually such performance is expected of an interim manager who tends to impress both the fans and his employers to gain their confidence and probably convince them to consider keeping him on permanent basis. Most times coaches that come into a team on interim basis could prove to be more tactically better than their predecessors who couldn't handle the pressure that was what played out against Leicester city, nevertheless I still want to commend the coach and the players for that wonderful masterpiece performance because it has been long that the fans saw such a result from the team.

Arsenal was able to win the match against Preston as expected. This was a match in the EFL Cup. Ok, Preston is obviously one of the teams that are expected to compete for the English Premier League title very closely. So of course winning this match was the only thing expected from Arsenal and they have been able to deliver upon the expectation that was set on them. Arsenal absolutely dominated the match and I think there was not even a single time when it looked like Arsenal was going to lose this match or even have a draw. Good performance from Arsenal and this is going to give them confidence going forward in the English Premier League in my opinion.

Manchester United to win this game or draw. I do not see them loosing this game with the level of confidence that their 5 goals win has given them. It is no longer Ten Hag and is a new light for the players who will all want to prove themselves. If Amorim has not taken over before that Chelsea game, and the interim coach delivers another Classic United performance in that game, United supporters may begin to try push that he be given a chance if the deal with Amorim falls out. The win yesterday for Manchester United was a reminder of how they used to be. They may be the team to win the EFL cup this season.

There are no coincidences, everything is done based on strategy and game schemes. The players' self-confidence may increase with a new coach, and vice versa. Ruud van Nistelrooy managed to prove that his appointment as interim coach after Ten Hag's dismissal produced results, so he deserves praise even though Manchester United has now recruited another coach.

As far as I know, all coaches would probably admit that coaching Manchester United is never easy at all. They certainly enjoy it, but many of them fail because of the high pressure. This team is required to win at all costs, so the coach must always force himself to do a good job, otherwise you will really be in the hot seat. Ten Hag did not fail as a coach, but he just failed to bring Manchester United to win as many titles as expected.

Maybe there aren't any, but they could come in different versions.

Manchester United's recent victory sent a signal to Chelsea that under Van Nistelrooy management they are no longer a team that has difficulty winning. The five goals scored against Leicester City are a big change that has occurred at Manchester United since the change of coach, even though Van Nistelrooy's status as a temporary coach, but he has the responsibility to give the best for the team, especially since he is one of the legends at Old Trafford. Apart from the surprise given by Manchester United, Tottenham and Newcastle also made big surprises in the Carabao Cup after eliminating Manchester City and Chelsea.

That's the point, because Ten Hag did harm to Manchester United, people will always remember him to be worst manager ever in Manchester United history. I believe this win wasn't a fluke, Manchester United players seems have no pressure when they play without Ten Hag.

Who's gonna invite Ronaldo, Sancho, De Gea, McTominay back to Manchester United?

The 5-2 win Manchester United had against Leicester is the second-highest scoreline Manchester United has had in the EFL tournament this season. The first highest scoreline was 7 nil against Barnsley, it happened last month.

Leaving that aside, what makes this 5-2 win against Leicester to be special and people can't stop talking about it, is that this is the first win Manchester United has had under a new interim coach after the sack of their former coach ''Ten Hag" who made Manchester United appear like a weak team against their opponent.

However, another test is to be thrown out for Manchester United boys(squad) to face off against Chelsea on Sunday. Let's see how tough it will all be, for Chelsea to lose, draw, or win them in Old Trafford

Permit me to say that Erik Ten hag days of being the Manchester United manager is over and will soon be forgotten because he did more harm than good to the Manchester United team and all the win he got for the team the one we see as good record were as a result of luck not because the team is in good hands and I think sacking him remains the best decision so far.

Manchester United without Ten hag last night the team won by 5:2 despite the fact that Leicester City is in poor form but Ten hag would not have had such victory if he's in charge of the team. Next game is against Chelsea I expect the current manager Van Nistelrooy to get 3 points for the team so that the joy of the and will be restored.

Yes, Leicester is not as strong a team as Manchester United, and honestly, Manchester was the favorite to win the match despite not being in good form recently. I was seriously surprised by how Manchester United played against Leicester yesterday. I can’t imagine that if Manchester United players put this level of effort into all the games they have played, they wouldn’t be in their current position in the Premier League table. The way Manchester United players were more active against Leicester shows they are happy about Ten Hag's sacking, and I hope they continue like this even with a new head coach.

With the performance Manchester United showed yesterday, their match against Chelsea is going to be a very tough one. This upcoming match won’t be easy to predict, as Manchester United seems to have picked up form, and currently, Chelsea is in good shape too. So, I would say either team has a good chance of winning the match. Before the Leicester game, I thought Chelsea would be the favorite to win, but I can’t say that now.

Manchester United played against Leicester City. I am not surprised that Manchester United won the match, they played against a team that they are supposed to win. Leicester City is not a strong team, which Manchester United are supposed to find difficult to win, and if they had played against a stronger team, then I'm sure it’s going to be kind of difficult to win for them. The luck that Manchester United had was that they played against a weak team.
 
They will be playing against Chelsea in their next Premier League match, but I don’t think it’s going to be an easy game for the two of them. Just because Manchester United won against Leicester City doesn’t mean they are back to form, if they had played against Newcastle, which Chelsea played against, then it wouldn’t have been an easy game for them. I won’t be surprised if Chelsea wins their next match against Manchester United, or the game might end up being a draw.

The victory over Leicester City is one sign that Man United and its players are currently on the rise, although not a pure benchmark, but the fans will certainly be happy with the results, I think van nistelrooy has a big part in his team's success yesterday in the carabo cup even though he was appointed as a temporary coach he maximized the little time to raise the morale of his players. In the next match Chelsea must be careful even though they are stable but still Man United does not want to lose, especially playing at Old Trafford, Manchester United's home.

Congrats for Manchester United the victory over Leicester City on EFL Cup but have waiting for by the strong opponent team at quarter final round by Tottenham Hotspur. Have many top teams left at quarter final round and seems Manchester United opportunity for winning EFL Cup not easily because have Liverpool and Arsenal as strongest candidate winner teams than Man United.

Have one match left for the quarter final round and all teams left have much opportunity prepare their team on the top level perform, I believe at quarter final round all teams left will use their regular players and will not loss opportunity become the winner. Manchester United have more motivate for winning EFL Cup after failure in premier league match behind their position drop to bottom place.

the quarter final of EFL Cup match drawing.

• Tottenham vs Man United
• Newcastle vs Brentford
• Southampton vs Liverpool
• Arsenal vs Crystal Palace

Manchester United have been trying to develop themselves over the last few years, and Today they able to defeated Leicester City with 5-2 score and qualify themselves for the round of quarter-finals in EFL Cup which will be against Tottenham. Well the match was really enjoyable specially 1st half which was full of goals. From The beginning, Manchester United was dedicative and gave all their effort to dominate the match. leicester city also keep trying their best to overcome the situation and took the control but Casemiro scored first goal behalf of Manchester United at 15th minutes and thus it started. Furthmore he made one more goal again at 39th minutes. Bilal El Khannouss scored 1st goal for their team at 33th minutes but goals by Bruno Fernandes, Alejandro Garnacho failed every attempt of leicester city and down them badly. Conor Coady lucky scored 2nd goal in extra minutes in 1st half. Their score was 4-2 in 1st half which already boost man city players confidence in high level and encourage them to go ahead without fear. That's why, after start of 2nd half, a goal by B. Fernandes at 59th minutes, totally broke leicester city confidance and stopped them to scored any single goal in 2nd half. Both team gave their effort as well, leicester city dominated the match in 43% time with good passing accuracy but due to lack of building the good strategy, they get defeated. Well congrats Man City for such achievement

Van Nistelrooy played for Man UTD and to see a legend be the coach of the team he played for is a flex and I feel that will be another thing driving the players to excel and with the kind of mentality the Dutchman has, I still reiterate that Chelsea won't find it an easy thing to beat Man UTD. I was even telling a friend that if care's not taken, Chelsea who are always fond of mocking United will get their asses beat that day and to add salt to injury may not get a goal in that game.

I don't see any hunger in them, they all need to be overhauled, Ruud van Nistelrooy played the same players Ten hag has been using and it was just one of those lucky days in favour of Manchester united. so they are only showing hunger now because Ten hag has been sacked, so what will then happen when they start getting use to Ruud Van nistelrooy or the new coach that is coming.   The game against Chelsea will not be like their regular game that they've always been struggling, the reason is that, they know that they will be playing against a strong opponent and all eyes will definitely be on them, so they will definitely try to play their best couple with the boost they've had from this Leicester victory.

Some of these players you're defending has seen two to three managers sacked,  you should know when to slander the manager and also call out these players. I saw the lineup and it's back to that traditional british sstyle utilized for that game against Leicester City.  Top performance from Casemiro and Ugarte for these are the both players that made Bruno Fernandez look free to roam just the way he wants. I see Erik Ten Hag was trying to carry out his style of play but it was hell difficult for most of these players to comprehend.  It is either the glory of Manchester United or nothing else. Vamoss!
