coolhandfox Posted 18 December 2019 Share Posted 18 December 2019 12 minutes ago, coalvillefox said: I don't think we have really been tested yet regarding scheduling, that will come between the Man City game and New Year. We don't play mid week like the other "big 6" do so no reason why this shouldnt be as close to full strength as possible and then field a similar side against Man City. If this was a mid week Premier League game we wouldn't be resting too many so why do it for the Cup, we want to win it after all. My team would be: Ward - Has played every cup game so far so would be unfair to drop him now Justin - Performed well every time he has played so he gets another game Evans - Need to maintain defensive solidity and consistency so he plays Soyuncu - See Evans Chilwell - Hes a young, fit lad, no need to rest him Ndidi - Never seems to tire and will be crucial to winning the ball back and breaking up attacks Praet - Needs more game time and only played 45 mins at the weekend Maddison - I would have said Tielemans but he looks exhausted towards the end of games just lately, would sub him on for Maddison after 60 mins Barnes - Not played a massive amount recetntly due to change in formation so should be raring to go Perez - See Barnes Vardy - Conserves energy so well so should have plenty on the tank Changes from our best XI - 3 Kasper played against Newcastle in round 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yorkie1999 Posted 18 December 2019 Share Posted 18 December 2019 Big Duncs swansong, demanding a goodison fortress. We've got 2 choices, go for it and put the best team out or rest players with man city in mind, which we'll probably lose anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

purpleronnie Posted 18 December 2019 Share Posted 18 December 2019 Bad feeling about this one for various reasons, Everton's 1st game with the new manager, our record in 1/4 finals, the fact we struggled to beat them at home. I should point out that I had similar bad feelings when we played Villa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After what he did to the lad he subbed on-and-off last match he's clearly not worried about leaving the side in the best possible shape for the next manager Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

volpeazzurro Posted 18 December 2019 Share Posted 18 December 2019 4 hours ago, Aus Fox said: We’re in no position to be cocky and calling the League Cup a cereal box trophy in the same paragraph? Which is it? Belittling a perfectly good cup that has been around for a very long time and provides a route into Europe is the ultimate in cocky. It’s what the “big teams” have done for years, which is ridiculous as they have all bar Arsenal won it in their recent history. Look at recent finals, who are the teams regularly making this final and winning silverware? This tells you it’s a cup worth winning. We at some point may drop back down the ladder, maybe even back to the championship, in 10 years who knows, do you really want a couple of third places finishes as all we had to show for it? Let’s show the cup the respect it deserves and go and win the thing! Yes I'd happily take a couple of 3rd place finishes over this cup to look back over in the future. Those two 3rd place finishes, lest we forget, would have afforded us two appearances in the Champions League together with huge financial rewards and the opportunity to improve the squad on each occasion. That compared with a 90 minute, second rate in comparison blink of an experience at Wembley. Yes, if all that was to happen in 10yrs time you have that to look back on I suppose but for me personally, if I felt we'd dipped out on such a potentally future changing opportunity we have this season on a quarter final and two potential hard fought semi finals and a final, I'd remember it with contempt and rue what we'd given up.

They each have different strengths and weaknesses but both do a job. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

st albans fox Posted 18 December 2019 Share Posted 18 December 2019 Last Dec when we lost to Man City we were really pissed off suspect the same may not be true tonight not sure the club are overly keen on two extra fixtures in January ...... we may want them but have a nagging feeling the management aren’t that bothered ... I wonder if Monday and Tuesday training sessions were more about Saturdays game than tonight’s ..... assuming tomorrow is a rest day, the boys only have fri am to prepare for the etihaad .... be interesting to see the line up but if MJ is on the bench then that tells you a fair bit already ! btw, I hope I’m wrong about the attitude to tonight’s game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
