Great line up! 

 

Even more gutted I can’t watch now!

It’s great that we’re going for it but at Vardys age you’ve got to give him a break when you can. I would probably have given Justin an opportunity as well. 

They play 1 more game before the international break. He will get his rest then. And as nacho hasn't even made the bench maybe there's an issue, perhaps if we get a couple vardy will be off and perez will move to no.9

I expected a strong line-up, but that's REALLY strong.

I agree thought we'd have a strong side but not that strong. Nice to see us taking the cup seriously tho.

[UPinCarolina]

Newcastle, meanwhile, are fielding a very weak side.

Should be a hiding in order?

[boots60]

Finally, (Claudio excepted) we have a gaffer who has ambition to win a trophy.

Keep 1st March free in your diary & save your pennies for European football next year.

Blind optimism? You bet.

Ooya beauty. Really going for it! Go on Hamza lad!

[LestaAl]

Let’s just win it and get over all this Angst!

[Corky]

I must say, I didn't think I'd ever read that we are playing too strong a side.

Scenes if we lose.

[oxtonfox]

Nacho not on the bench? Well he  Couldn’t Kelechi cold.

Love the intent with the side; however no one there has anything to prove (to Rodgers) so let’s see what happens. 

[TonyN11]

Last manager we had who picked a side that strong for the league cup was Martin O’Neil

[Corky]

Motivation shouldn't be an issue. Wasn't it said last season that they wanted to win this for Vichai's memory?

 

That shouldn't change.

It was 2000, twenty seasons ago.

Very strong team, I wasn't expecting that.

 

Can anyone with a stream please PM me. Cheers.

[The Guvnor]

Barnes starting, excellent news

[maddog]

Their reserve players will have something to prove to try get in the first team for the weekend.

 

Our first team players have nothing to prove and all will know they'll be starting against Bournemouth pretty much already.

 

This could backfire if our boys go out half arsed.

[CosbehFox]

Two teams with their strongest lines up, incredible

Newcastle are playing their strongest and fittest available eleven

Not like you to find the negatives in a situation? X 

[foxes_rule1978]

Great team like it that Rodgers seems to be taking this seriously, a chance of more silverware 

[UniFox21]

Would've liked to have seen Justin, Benkovic and Nacho play
