Spurs (A) - Wed 30th Oct, 20:15 | EFL Cup | Pre-Match Thread

[Gaz (FMwkdsoul)]

But there was a UEFA youth league game on the same day. If he wasn’t planning to give them minutes it’s better for them to play the youth game. This game there are minutes to be had for youth players.

They have a game the day before as well, we'll defo know soon enough, dont see anyone getting called up personally.

Throw it , we have to get through the season without rodders , that is enough and we have won this cup loads of times

Thank Christ we’ve Pep at the helm. He’ll go strong and he’ll go to win. Just like every team should in every match they play. “Throw it”. Criminal.

This will be our first defeat of the season, not enough bodies available to play a really strong side, so I expect O'reilly, Wright, Mcatee to start.

Ortega, Lewis, Dias, Stones, Ake, Wright, O'reilly, Mcatee, Nunes, Gundogan, Haaland

No way Haaland plays. Did you see him in the last 5 mins. Really struggling and deffo in need of a week off imo.

Get it won and keep up the trophy runs.

We can do it.

Well, it’s a point of view.

 

[Eccles Blue]

Well, it’s a point of view.

*lol* and allowed I guess?
I’m old school and want us to win everything in sight. :-)

Of course ;-)
It was just a refreshing change to read after all the posts hoping for us to chuck it !

Posta if he loses this game will put out a strong side our will have 6/7 kids in

 

[blue b4 the moon]

Almost as Spursy as to lose an FA Cup tie at home when leading 3-0 at half time and facing ten men?

On a par.

We won’t chuck it but we won’t go full strength either. Who ever plays though Pep will have sent them out with a plan to win. I’ll be surprised if we do win but we won’t chuck it either.

You will be fucking whinging if we end up with no fit players for the prem . This game is not important . Go do your big blue act somewhere else !

Spursy are 2/1 for this the bookies possibly haven't caught up yet as we are 11/10.

 

[Millwallawayveteran1988]

With U21’s having 2 games next week, I can’t see more than 1/2 being called up from that side.

What’s the forward like? Dickson?

Would imagine

Ortega/Gundogan/Stones/McAtee/O’Reilly will all be in.

Then some of the younger players will have to play. Lewis, Savinho and Foden will all play I think. Perhaps Nunes again.


Ortega
Lewis
Stones
Dias
Ake
Gundogan
O’Reilly
McAtee
Savinho
Foden
Nunes.

There's an EFL trophy game the night before.

 

[Len Rum]

Following this game we've got two tough games shortly afterwards- Bournemouth away on Saturday 3pm and then Sporting away on Tuesday 8pm.
With our current paper thin squad this game should be low priority.

Bin that off and save the first teamers....go for all 3 leagues rather than some crappy EFL stuff. The kids will benefit from a big crowd atmos rather than Grimsby.

They have else we'd be slight odds on. imo

And nobody on the bench.

 

[christened at st marks]

Need to get out of this cup now, the final will come before Bobb and Rodri do.
