What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
Welcome in to the latest edition of ESPN FC. I'm Dan Thomas joined by Craig Burley and Shaka Hissop. Lots going on today. Later on in the show we'll be discussing one of the biggest clubs in the world hiring a new manager. Plus, Manchester United have confirmed Michael Carrick. We kick things off though with Newcastle against Manchester City in the Carabao Cup. This is over two legs of course. Manchester City with a huge advantage to make it through to the final. Semenya would make it 2-2 since making that move from Bournemouth to give City the lead after the break. Newcastle had quite a few chances, but it was the visitors who scored the set and, second, Schurke making it 2-0 to put City very much ahead.
For more on this, Frank LaBeouf is with us. Frank, it's all about taking your chances, isn't it?
Exactly. And Vissar and Voldemort would have a bad night because sometimes you don't need to control a ball to shoot it. One touch is more than enough. And Vissar should have done on the first chance that he had and Voldemort as well. And they didn't. And City were more clinical than Newcastle.
What were the highlights of Manchester City's victory over Newcastle in the Carabao Cup?
And as Craig said, it's already dead for me.
Bissell was, you know, that first chance he had, I think it was Shaq and I, we said, I think we both went, I think Votermatter would have put that away. And then he came on and stumbled over his. And I think that was the kind of summed up the evening for Newcastle. I mean, James Trafford had to make that save. You saw on the clip, there was a couple of other really good balls in in the second half. from Newcastle. Voltaire couldn't get on the end of it, but I think City deserved it. Semenya, great start to his City career. Thought he had two, but he got one. I think that's a big debating point, this whole VAR thing. Doku on the other side gave Lewis Miley a hard time, particularly in the first half, the first 20 minutes.
He's not a full-back, and he roasted them every time. So they have all these options going forward.
What were the key moments that decided the match between Newcastle and Manchester City?
I know they have the problems at the back, But all these options they've got going forward now with, you know... So, does Semenyo start against United?
I think so.
Yeah. Yeah? Yeah, absolutely. I mean, what he does with Doku, I don't know. But, you know, you've got Doku on one side, Pacey and Quick. You've got Semenyo, Pacey and Quick, you know, very good in the final third. He's got two goals already for City, although one was against Exeter. But getting in the right place at the right time. And I think Semenyo... does play O'Reilly played in midfield tonight and did a good job obviously that's his natural position so Rodri will come back in there he came off the bench he'll come back in there not sure how the back four will look do you think that front five is the front five for the United game I think it could be, you know that?
No Reinders, no Shirky. What about Shirky?
All right, Frank, I said that. No, listen, we're off the cuff here. It's live TV. Too late. I think Shirky will come in, but come in for who remains to be seen. I mean, does he leave Docco out and sort of shovel somebody out there or move some menu across? Or does he leave Phil Foden out, who hasn't been the worst? I think he'll play Bernardo Silva in these big games. He generally always does. But I think one of those guys in the front line will probably set aside for Ryan Scherke because he's been very, as I mentioned in the highlight, first six months of the season, very good.
Left after me, I play the two white men in Semenya and Doku. I just feel the pace that they bring from both sides, unsettled scenes. And unsettled Newcastle, and albeit young, young, married on the day. But I just feel that's where they look their best. And then you have genuine options through the middle, whether you go Foden and Bernardo Silva, as you do today. You've got Reinders. You've got Chirky. It could be one or two. What would you do, Shaq? Don't say Chirky, just annoy him. Don't say Chirky, just... I play Foden and anybody else in that case. But to Craig's point, I'd prefer Chirky if I'd been out of silver, if it were me.
