Swansea (a) League Cup - pre-match thread

[bainy]

I want to see some youth product in this game, and considering our schedule over next couple of weeks very few first 11 players

Something like

Caballero
zaba
Tosin
Stones
angelino
garcia
fernando
Silva
Navas
Sane
iheanacho

TBH we've won this competition 2 years out of three, not arsed about it and would rather see it used as a platform for younger players to shine this year myself.

NOT ARSED ABOUT IT
FUK ME
there is history, heritage and prestige in winning a cup - i spent years and years after 1976 wanting to win this cup....lets carry on winning it!!!!

Nah m8, lets rest players and give the champions league a proper go innit. All jokes aside I didnt care about this comp even when we were crap, its mickey mouse and nation doesnt need two domestic cup competitions.

 

[Tevez City]

I want Maffeo & Garcia to start since its a cup game, and youngster should be given chances in these games

Think Willy, Angelino and Garcia are nailed on starters. Also expect Tosin & Komps to get some game time.

 

[MCFC1993]

Give players a chance but still pick a strong enough side to progress. Pep's a perfectionist, he'll want everything. A hiccup in this game may halt our momentum, lets see them off in this game and then rock up a few days later and do the same thing again.

Bravo/Caballero
Zaba/Maffeo
Stones/Adarabioyo
Kolarov/Kompany/Otamendi
Clichy/Angelino
Fernando
Garcia
De Bruyne/Gundogan/Silva
Navas
Iheanacho
Sane

Take De Bruyne and Sterling off after an hour. Give Kompany a run out.

 

[Kompany Car]

Almost certain Toure will get a run out. Would also like to see Tierry Ambrose on the bench with Maffeo. So my guess is...

Tosin in for Kompany for 2nd half

Completely disagree with you.
It sounds very arrogant to just dismiss the League cup we should be competing for everything, not cherry picking and saying"not arsed".

Tosin and Maffeo on bench, not sure if Fernando is fit thou so poss YaYa?

 

[BerkshireBlue]

most of the suggestions are fine apart from the ones with Yaya in. I just don't trust him to put in a professional performance I think bridges have been burnt.
I'd rather have a kid in instead.
