Millwall (A) - Carabao Cup - 7:45pm Wed 22/09

                             Ward

 

Albrighton  Amartey     Benkovic  Thomas

              Choudhury      Soumare   

Daka                 Maddison           Lookman

                        Iheanacho

 

 

If Maddison can't look good against Milwall, with pace all around him, Rodgers can finally, and quite correctly, stick him in the bin.

 

 

[Nicolo Barella]

Can Perez play?

 

Castagne Amartey Benkovic/Vestergaard Thomas

Perez Soumaré Dewsbury-Hall Lookman

Iheanacho Daka

 

Play Hamza over Soumaré if Rodgers will actually start Soumaré in the next game like I hope he would.

[Claudio Fannieri]

Give fringe players the opportunity to step up and show what they can do and ensures they maintain some level of match fitness - 

 

Ward

 

Castagne

Amartey 

Benkovic

Thomas

 

Mendy

 

Perez

Hamza

KDH

Albrighton

 

Daka 

 

return of the 4-1-4-1 and fill the bench with Kels and U23’s. Team is more than good enough to win the tie but also protects and rests starting XI ahead of Burnley

Who really cares about it anymore?

I hope we don't risk any key players in it.. we certainly can't afford to lose anymore CB's !!!

 

Not for me. Would love to win this competition. Add another trophy to our Honours.

He can, but he won't start as Rodgers will be saving him for the weekend.

Man City seem to take it pretty seriously.

 

I'm sure Kasper and Vardy would like to complete their medal collection.

 

I'd happily take a lower league finish and the league Cup.

A defeat wouldn't be terrible overall given it is the fourth priority this season but losing any game when the fans aren't happy or convinced isn't best advised.

 

Win the game and move on.

My priority would be the EL over anything, then this is probably my second, winning a cup we haven't won for 20+ years, Wembley final. PL I am not expecting us to be able to challenge for top European places, maybe 6th/7th but that doesn't guarantee EL football necessarily. FA Cup we won last year, as nice as it would be to win again of course, it's the least of my priorities.

 

Would love a good run in this cup as it also allows fringe players game time (which Brendan is not allowing them in the PL).

Id like to continue to build the soyuncu vestergaard partnership. Also I wonder if Perez might be better cutting inside from left and allowing Lookman the ability to use his pace on the outside

Anyone know if there’s a stream available for tonight?

Only on Chinese PPV so unlikely.

Had a look at the service I use and there was 6 games on from the cup last night so might be a chance.

I was quite young during the O'Neil years so don't have much memory of our last win.

 

Would absolutely love it if we went all the way, was gutted when we lost against Villa

I'd actually pay for it if they put one up.  Bit of a joke in this country if you can't physically make a game

Is this your IPTV? Where did you find the 6 games last night?

[Foxes96]

A few I think need to start Lookman, KDH, Thomas and Daka for example. Think if Soy and Vestergaard is our best bet at CB at the minute then they need more minutes playing together IMO. I think Kelechi is a better bet in the 10/ support striker role than Maddison, but needs minutes so maybe sub for Madders or someone after 60, same with Lookman as I would likely start both on the weekend. Then the rest sort of picks itself keeping Youri, Wilf, Barnes and Vardy rested to avoid burnout as we’ve suffered the last 2 seasons. Should still be enough to get to the next round and can then take it from there depending who we draw.                     

 

                              Ward

Castagne - Söyüncü - Vestergaard - Thomas

                     Soumaré - KDH

            Perez  -  Iheanacho  -  Lookman

                               Daka

[turlo]

Think he'll go with bog standard 4 4 2 and play Nacho & Daka up front. Perez will probably get some game time as well to sharpen up for when he starts at the weekend. 

 

                             Ward

Castagne - Big Dan  Vestergaard - Thomas

                   Hamza/Mendy KDH

   Albrighton                                  Lookman

                        Nacho  Daka

[5waller5]

There’s absolutely no point in risking key players. Give game time to the fringe players:

 

Ward

 

Albrighton  Amartey Benkovic Thomas

Hamza

 

Perez Mendy KDH Lookman

 

Nacho

 

Easily strong enough to win, and a chance to shine.

[Deeg67]

Has to be Benkovic and Big Dan in central defense.  No way you can risk Soy or Jaws with the ranks so depleted.

 

Besides - squad players have to play, you know?  If a guy never gets any game action the head starts to go to bad places.

Doubt we will see Benkovic as he played on Monday for the under 23s

[GingerrrFox]

Odds of their being a stream for this are slim to none unfortunately. Ridiculous that it’s 2021 and you still can’t pay to watch your team unless you are physically there.

I assume Evans is out for this then? 

To be honest, even if he could be considered, I still would prefer he is given longer to recuperate & get match fit...

And ready for the long haul....

He alone or lets say because without him, we cant win this game....

[coolhandfox]

I don't understand why people turn the nosey up at winning any silverware.

 

It's only the community shield, it's only the League Cup, it's only the Europe League and so on.

 

I want us to bloody win the lot!
