Lcfc-1992 Posted 14 December 2019 Share Posted 14 December 2019 I think they’ll be a few changes for this one, two tough games after this but a great chance to get to a semi final!

Sir Shep Posted 14 December 2019 Share Posted 14 December 2019 Me thinks some players need resting but it’s a chance to perhaps win something, so basically I’ve no idea who will play! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RowlattsFox Posted 14 December 2019 Share Posted 14 December 2019 Tough decision this because we have 2 tough games over Christmas whilst also want to win a cup. Ridiculous scheduling to put this round in to an already busy December. I get that it's probably to do with the champions League fixtures. Think we will have to make changes, and hope for the best.

Billy Big Balls Posted 14 December 2019 Share Posted 14 December 2019 Schmeichel Pereira Evans Soyuncu Chilwell/Fuchs Ndidi Praet Maddison Perez Vardy Albrighton Hopefully get a 2 or more goal lead and take Vardy off for Iheanacho and Maddison for Choudhury as early as possible. Barnes and Gray don't deserve to start after their performances today. The title is gone imo so we should put full effort into winning a cup!

Would rather start with Choudhury and Iheanacho in place of Ndidi and Vardy. Bring Jamie on if we need a goal, otherwise rest both for the entire game.

DerbyshireFox Posted 14 December 2019 Share Posted 14 December 2019 (edited) I’ve a feeling Everton will go strong, Ferguson will be banging the drum at the chance to get them to a cup semi final. They were really up for it against Chelsea last week. I can’t see us not making some changes. We look leggy at times, and two massive league games ahead. It would be fantastic to get through and break the quarter final hoodoo of recent times Edited 14 December 2019 by DerbyshireFox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

st albans fox Posted 14 December 2019 Share Posted 14 December 2019 Everton have a thick squad so will still be reasonably strong with a lot of changes I would expect us to rotate with a strong bench, given the five games in two weeks ward justin. Morgan. Evans/soy. Fuchs Hamza. Marc Praet. Youri. Dimi Kelechi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerard Posted 14 December 2019 Share Posted 14 December 2019 Now we've dropped points and Liverpool haven't I want the best side available to give us the best opportunity of progressing. We're unlikely to be in the title race and we have an excellent cushion over 5th place so all out for the League Cup at this point please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn’t disagree but the ‘squad’ players will expect to play and I think they are good enough to win the tie ..... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Finnegan Posted 14 December 2019 Popular Post Share Posted 14 December 2019 For the love of God rest Tielemans. Go back to 433, Perez and Albrighton will be completely fresh and I'm not convinced Sharky is much of a drop on Barnes on current form. Praet only played 45 minutes today, put him in for YT, maybe give JJ and Fuchs a run and then keep the spine in tact around them. I'd say that's a pretty decent mix of rotation and first team. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tough. We should be giving ourselves the best chance of a trophy in our position of 10 pts behind Liverpool and even more points ahead of 5th. After dropping points today I'd probably rather beat Everton on Tuesday than Liverpool on Boxing Day. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree re YT but Brendan played him at Luton and burton, saying he needs to stay in a playing rhythm ...... so if he played in those two, I would think he will be selected for this one ......

Fair enough but I think Everton away are too good to treat lightly. I think we're also good enough to finish top four comfortably with the cushion we have so I'd rather make this Everton game top priority and reassess the squad's fitness for the Man City match. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazza M Posted 14 December 2019 Share Posted 14 December 2019 I cant imagine that Brendan wants to do a Puel and weeken too much. However I think there will be a few changes as we have Man City and Liverpool to come. Kasper Justin Morgan Soyuncu Chilwell Choudhury Praet Perez Maddison Barnes Vardy Subs: Ward, Evans, Ricardo, Tielemans, Ndidi, Gray, Iheanacho.
