Wycombe (H) - EFL Cup R3 - Tue 21 Sep 19:45 | Pre-Match Thread

[lancs blue]

As much as I’d love to see a few of the kids start, I reckon Pep will go close to full strength to try and get the players in better form ahead of the Chelsea game.

Well that would be silly IMO. We looked really jaded today, and with Chelsea, PSG and Liverpool all away in 8 days I don't want to see many regulars at all on Tuesday night.

We just have to unleash Delap and Palmer from the start in this. Have to. We need to assess where they are at.

Just get a goal in the first 10 minutes then park the fucking bus….we can surely do that??

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

Make Sterling play these games. If he can’t score here, he never will.

Definitely. It’s obvious he has zero confidence. Hope he plays and scores a hat trick.

Steffen
Walker/Cancelo
Dias
Burns/Mbete
Wilson-E
Lavia
Foden
Palmer
McAtee
Delap
Sterling

There’s an EFL trophy game on the same night, so it’s more likely to be 8-9 first teamers.

Can’t see McAtee starting. Think he will use him in the EFL game. Ultimately the kids playing in that or against Wycombe is the same difference in standard faced.

I think Palmer and Lavia may start along with Foden and De Bruyne. A few youngsters like Delap may make the bench but I think Pep will want some more minutes for the likes of Sterling, Torres etc and get some game time into them all.

Bernardo and Gundogan maybe the only two rested but probably still on the bench.

Wycombe will be fancying it now!

McAtee is levels above the likes of Wycombe. McAtee, Palmer, Lavia and Delap all to start alongside Kev and Foden to get their fitness up.

 

[Tevez City]

I want Mcatee to start and play 90 minutes.

As well as Delap, Lavia, Mbete & maybe Kayky.
