West Ham (A) - EFL Cup R4 - Wed 27 Oct 19:45 | Pre-Match Thread

Pep has always liked this competition as he sees us winning it as a real springboard to the title run in and having the trophy in the cabinet boosts everyone for that. I think he'll go quite strong for this one.

Should do so. FA Cup should be our 4th priority this season imho.

I prefer this competition to the Fa Cup to be honest. does anyone agree with me? lol

Love both cups use to envy teams like Leicester and Bolton getting to finals no disrespect intended, while we were overjoyed if we made a quarter final. The more trophies we win the better in my book looking forward to another Wembley weekend fingers crossed.

I was thinking more of League Cup final against Liverpool in1995 & one against Boro. Still a FOC though :-)

Surely Walker needs resting at his age.

West Ham. The game has sold out.

£10 a ticket, £1 for kids and half-term = sell-out. Easy.

I’d love to see McAtee involved but I reckon he’ll be with the EDS tomorrow given how many injuries they have.

surely the priority for young players is getting a chance with the first team. The Eds should come second

Not if it’s between playing and sitting on the bench and Palmer will get the game time in this game. He won’t play both at West Ham away.

I agree on Palmer. Sometimes I think it is better getting experience coming off the bench. Eds football is not the best standard and Mcatee is too good for it IMO.

I could see Mcatee coming on - 20/30 minutes first team football would be good. It would also show faith from the manager.
