Swansea City (A) - Wed 29th Oct, 19:45 | EFL Cup | Pre-Match Thread

[MCFC1993]

Kick off time 19:45 (GMT).

 

[Alexia_Ko]

Bobb, Savio, Reijnders (Because they’re useless atm) and Haaland (because he needs rest) should be glued to the bench and should only come on once we get a few goals

A few goals, who's scoring them then?

 

[Alexia_Ko]

A few goals, who's scoring them then?

Marmoush, Mukasa, Cherki, Foden, Doku?

Would agree with most of that, though Gonzalez and Reijnders will be needed in the subsequent three games.

Yeah, I did have Phillips and Mukasa in there originally, but then thought that might be too risky as Swansea are a reasonable Championship side.

They scraped by a disappointing Norwich City yesterday, so we should have enough in our midfield to accommodate a youngster or two.

 

[Stelea]

Strong for this. It’s the only chance we have of winning owt

[Damanino]

please no Haaland, Reijnders. they played way too much already almost non stop. give them a break.

 

[citymad]

Pep really wants to win this trophy and was obviously saving his players for this game. I expect a really strong team so we should win this but it won’t be easy.

No way would Reijnders get anywhere near if I had my way, he is useless.

 

[Eaststander1]

Well Swansea will be fancying their chances if they've been watching our game today, that's for sure !

 

[simon23]

Need to use this game to try something else....Get Cherki on for starters
OReilly at fullback

Give haaland a rest and get Marmoush on..

Drop 2 of Oscar Bobb Reijnders and Sav....send a message that they simply need to up their games.

Im sure however we will see Rico Lewis in midfield

 

[TinFoilHat]

Time for Kalvin to lead us to League Cup glory!

I wouldn’t mind seeing him there. Better than seeing him at right back.

Hopefully routine win. This and the FA cup are the most realistic trophies for us this season I think.

 

[Columbia]

Need to take this cup seriously.

Wouldn't play Doku in that game. Unlike Savinho and Bobb, he played two full and difficult international games. Let Savinho and Bobb play more minutes to improve on their current form.
