Ghezzal gonna show Mahrez how it's done.  Hope we get Burton next round.  X

[maddog]

Iheanacho with a brace 2-1 win!! 

 

Their keeper has barely played a professional match in his life, get some shots at him and awkward crosses could pay dividends.

Puel as the manager to go looks like good odds right now. Maybe he’s been told he’ll be in charge till the end of season regardless but that is an extremely dangerous selection given his current situation.

 

I hope we win obviously but if we don’t this is just like digging your own grave!

Surely the assumption is this is an agreed approach between Puel and those upstairs? Especially given Puel's current position.

Hamza brace anyone? Come on @FIF. He's missed a fair few u23 matches. This is just the opportunity he needs.

Fair play for your intro on talksport tonight buddy.

Riyad to handball it in the penalty area and VAR to catch it after the ref misses it

So after a quick look on Soccerbase, 19 different players played (either as subs or starting) in our first 4 league games in December in the title season and in our 4 league games in December this season we've used the same amount

Can all you happy clappers shut up for a minute.  Trying to have a nice wee hate-wank here over the thought of us losing and Puel getting the sack and your positivity is putting me off my stroke.  X

[lozzyblue fox]

Puel thinks we have a team that can win it tonight!!  sky sports.

[Cameron Davidson]

Adrien Silva looks to be on his way then... thought we had a world beater after his first game...

I died of laughter and drowned in tears when he said that 

[Jaspa]

Sky Sports presenter - "There should be plenty of drama with VAR in use tonight in the Carabou Cup"

 

I thought the point in it was to end drama and rely on facts Don't like hearing from a major influencer in the sport they value VAR as an entertainment device, concerning

[Guest MattP]

Bellamy spot on here in his pre-match analysis - why the hell are we doing this?

[m4DD0gg]

craig bellamy telling it straight on sky sports, cant stand him but hes right

Yeah but he's hardly going to say: look we're boned, aren't we? I thought I'd concentrate on the league and give the youth a chance.

[breadandcheese]

Disgrace not to play our strongest lineup when we're in the quarter finals.
