I'm with you on dropping Nunez he just doesnt look like scoring at all. Having said that, it's always nice to have one of Diaz/Gakpo to come on if the game isnt going the way we want it to.

Jota is sorely missed.

 

[peternorth]

that was a quality shirt

 

[RossFC]

 

[peternorth]

He look dejected coming off. Probably knows his minutes are going to Jota.

in the rehab centre?

 

[peternorth]

Good to see Endo get a run

 

[The Punter]

I smell a Harvey Elliott start on the weekend.

Dont reckon Slot trusts him yet.

 

[Zidane98]

Surely Harvey gets 90 minutes in the League Cup. I'd expect he takes Mo's spot on the right wing for the Soton game.



Mac will start the LC game as he missed both Girona & Fulham through suspension. Szo may start as well as he needs to get some form going.


Both will probably be subbed after 60 mins or so.

 

[The Punter]

Players who should absolutely not start in the EFL Cup QF: Alisson, Van Dijk, TAA, Robbo, Grav, Salah. I'd argue they should all be left out of the squad altogether to be honest.

Players who should be in the squad if fit: Kelleher, Jaros, Quansah, Tsimikas, Elliott, Jota, Chiesa, Morton, Endo, Nyoni, Danns.

Salah usually makes a sub appearance in these games. Maybe a front 3 of Darwin/Jota/Elliott could work.


Question is who plays at LB if the Greek isn't available and Robbo is rested? Jogo is needed at CB.


I hate to say it but I am really indifferent about the LC this season. We've won it regularly recently and we just don't have the bodies for a fixture logjam in January. I do want us to win it still but if we don't win it this season it really won't bother me much at all.

We're on top in the league and the UCL. These should be the clear top priorities.

---------------Nunez

------------Macca-Endo
Tsimikas-Gomez-Quansah-Jones
--------------Kelleher

If Kostas is not fit, then Norris might play.

Jones at RB? I'd rather Morton plays in mid and Endo plays at RB where he has experience. Or Endo at CB / Jogo at RB.

I put Jones RB because he did ok there vs Leicester last year. Will be interesting to see what Slot does, there will be a few problems to solve.

 

[Cooldude]

So if we finish first then we play someone between 15th-18th in the knockouts, which could be ****ing anybody

Should be able to pick our own opponents. That would be spicy.

Ill take the quaddie for $400 please.

 

[Cooldude]

We've won the league cup twice in the past few years, I couldn't be too arsed about it this season

Almost don't care if Soton knock us out so we don't have to play two more games in an already packed January with a lot of big away games

 

[GOALden Hawk]

Speaking of transfers we got wrong, Naby Keita off to the Hungarian league on loan.

 

[foxdog50]

Are you being Facetious?

 

[gaskin]

Speaking of transfers we got wrong, Naby Keita off to the Hungarian league on loan.

He could have been good if he wasn't injured all the time.

 

[jod23]

Naby Keita when he played was usually pretty good.

Just barely ever played.

Definitely talented just not driven.

The key word here being "when"
