Watford (H) - Tues 24th Sept, 19:45 | EFL Cup | Pre-Match Thread

[aka blue jambo]

Wow just saw the subs
Pep really does want to win every game

 

[jimharri]

Kaden Baithwaite - Atherton
Rico Lewis - Radcliffe
Nico O'Reilly - Moston
Phil Foden - Stockport
James McAtee - Salford

None from Longsight/Moss Side?


:-(

Honestly, I'm ok with that team in all areas except in midfield where, to my mind, it looks extremely light. And I mean physically light as much as anything. Also pretty light in terms of experience. I think if we get done, it will be in that area.
I suppose given the situation Pep didn't want to take any kind of risk with the usual stalwarts.

Hope I'm wrong. Obs.

Edit: taken a better look at the bench. The cavalry are there if the stockade looks like being overrun.

That's a ludicrous bench.



Not a bad bunch sitting on it, mind.


;-)

Think we are missing a good 2nd striker since we sold Alverez for games when we rest Haaland or to give us a 2nd striker option off the bench if we need a goal as not many goals in that 11 or the bench

 

[Lovebitesandeveryfing]

That’s youf if you don’t mind

Or Big Yout’ if you from the Caribbean.

 

[TinFoilHat]

8 out of the 11 English..

I await the positive media reaction.

Might be a while..

 

[The perfect fumble]

Marvellous!

 

[TinFoilHat]

I wish I watching it.

That team looks exciting and I expect a humdinger of a match to go with it.

Good for Pep. :-)

 

[Stoned Rose]

Good selection. Nice to see the yout dem getting a chance to gain experience.

Looking forward to watching Macatee. Needs to be taking games like this by the scruff.

 

[Eccles Blue]

Come on John Boy. Show all the folk who don’t believe in you. :-) ;-)

John Stones - Your darkest nightmares

Unless you are @Eccles Blue, and then it’s your wettest dreams.

 

[Lovebitesandeveryfing]

Marvellous!

All that's lacking is the rush goalie rule.

 

[MCFCFanTX]

All I want is a James McAtee master class. Please lord!

 

[N1985]

He's brilliant apparently

 

[freshie]

Certainly doesn't look like a centre-half in that video!

More like a left footed Rodders!

 

[shroom]

All that's lacking is the rush goalie rule.

just put By-tor or the Snowdog back there

 

[NI Blue]

Nice starting 11 but the bench is tasty
