Kal to come on and bag the 5th ;)

No Haaland at all - a proper rest, love it.

Buzzing to see Cherki in the side. Think he and Marmoush will work a treat together.

Sounds good until we need a goal with 30 mins left and our only goalscorer is watching from the sofa at home.

I guess that's Pep showing how important this cup is in the grand scheme of things.

All out attack it is then, looks like a 2 1 2 3 1 1 formation??

 

[TurboDuo]

XI | Trafford, Lewis, Khusanov, Ake (C), Ait-Nouri, Nico, Mukasa, Bobb, Cherki, Doku, MarmoushSUBS | Bettinelli, Donnarumma, Stones, Gvardiol, Savinho, Nunes, O'Reilly, Phillips, Foden

Hopes Haaland is not injured.
That kick doesnt seems good at all

 

[tommybooth]

H will be having Fish and Chips at Taff's chippy.

 

[Sibierskii]

This Cherki x Marmoush link up should be entertaining!!!

 

[wattle]

Haaland is still dangerous from his sofa

 

[waspish]

On sky+

 

[Eccles Blue]

Are the line ups out an hour before for carabao cup not an hour and a quarter?

Oh and huge apologies if this has already been asked and I have missed the answer, I know some people get terribly offended like ratheart

I’m offended! I am making it my new career to be offended at everything. Please stop offending me!! ;-) ;-)

Probably more to do with haaland nursing a bruised knacker.

 

[blue whippet]

Looking forward to seeing how we play with this team, I like the look of it.

 

[Zenmanc]

No Haaland means it’s time for his teammates to chip in with goals.

It's likely a point that goes without mentioning as I'm guessing they haven't instead spent the whole last few practices trying to figure out how to win games solely off of the other team conceding own goals.

The Viking is having a well deserved rest. It's up to this team to show they can do the job with out him.

Kalvin will lead us to glory.

My assumption is this is a 4231 morphing into a 343 diamond with the ball, where RAN goes wide and Lewis inverts.

RAN and Bobb wide.
Marmoush striker, with Mukasa at CAM.
Cherki LCM, Lewis RCM, and Nico G as the DM.

 

[ancoats]

It will be good to watch a game with a different setup with little pressure, The players can go out and enjoy the game and be positive and maybe catch the eye of Pep and stay in the first team

 

[youngbob]

Very strong team.
