Season › 2011-12 › News Carling Cup selection backfired Michael Kenrick , 28 October, 10comments | Jump to most recent David Moyes has admitted that his team selection for the Carling Cup defeat to Chelsea has "sort of backfired" — but not because he chose to play his poorest goalkeeper and an already injured non-scoring talismanic non-striker... "We took a chance by playing a strong side against Chelsea, to try to get through in the cup," Moyes said. "I thought that game was the important one at the time and we wanted to do it, but you are always running the risk of losing players through injury. It has sort of backfired on me because I've had somebody sent off and a few injuries from it."
