with the League Cup games vs Arsenal on weds we may as well have a thread just for our domestic cup games. Ward Johnson Morgan Hughes Thomas Choudhury Dewsbury-Hall Ndukwu Wright Albrighton Iheanacho Jakupovic, Clark, Knight, Tavares, Leshabela, Muskwe, Reghba/Eppiahwith the sheer volume of games coming no one likely to start in the league should play in this use it as a shop window to get some of our better U23s a loan move plus a look at them in senior football for us, obviously if Wes isn't fit bring in Knight or Fuchs alongside Sam Hughes, Callum Wright seems to score a few for the U23s and I couldn't think of another option at 10.
Don’t think we’ll play quite as many outside options as that. Probably would if it wasn’t against Arsenal, but reckon Rodgers will want the competition to get feelers on his wider squad which‘ll be difficult if we bow out in the first game. Not that I think he’d mind too much.
use the Europa group games for that, we should still have enough to qualify, maybe the likes of Gray who I left out due to thinking he'll be leaving will play etc.
I agree we shouldn’t really bother with this, but I’d personally stick in the likes of Slim Silva etc as well to put them in the shop window.
dave chrysalis jimjams richard unbeliever gloria foxinmad jimmy miss_lfc we so good we can win with 9 players and since miss_lfc loves us she can be honourable striker.
FA Cup weekend, hopefully Ricardo is fit to play, personally I've had enough of Iheanacho o wouldn't pick him but I know he'll start Ward Ricardo Amartey Soyuncu Thomas Mendy Praet Under Perez Gray Slimani
Yeah, usually love a good cup run, but I think I'm happy to sit out the FA Cup for once given the tight league schedule and the European campaign. I think I'd rather prioritise the Europa over the FA Cup. Great chance to give Ricardo some minutes, hopefully he features and we get to see him back again. Same with Soyunchu
Strong side. Like it. Perez as a striker for a change. Kelechi must surely be thinking his time is up!
the bench really annoys me tbh, Morgan, Fuchs and one of Mendy and Hamza should have been left out for some attacking options from the u23s, only 2 players from 9 with any attacking ability and one of them is a full back is just frustrating
well Vardy definitely won't be playing, he's had a minor hernia op and is out for "a few weeks" Kasper Ricardo Fofana Soyuncu Thomas Ndidi Tielemans Under Maddison Barnes Perez
