AvonVillain Posted September 26, 2023 Share Posted September 26, 2023 No point being a back-up keeper anywhere (and still Sweden's #1) if you can't even get a start in games like this. He'll start, as he should. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get it that a lot of fans can’t stand him but he is our second choice until January at the earliest, clearly rated by our manager and coaches and has shown signs of improvement and more consistency recently. Time for some support from our ‘supporters’ perhaps? Yes we ought but I've changed my outlook on whether he should start tomorrow. I don't think we can risk losing this match. Olsen deserves respect, but I say sub should we get into a winning position Wednesday evening, not out of hostility but prudence.

oishiiniku_uk Posted September 26, 2023 Share Posted September 26, 2023 (edited) If we are going to compete on all fronts this season then the fringe players have to get more minutes. An evening game at home is a much more favourable atmosphere than away in Poland which should help settle any nerves. Everton played OK at the weekend but Brentford were SO. BAD. Dyche will do a fair bit of rotating because the game against Luton is a must win for them. I reckon we will go: Olsen Chambers Konsa Lenglet Digne Bailey Donk Tielemans Ramsey Kellyman Duran Edited September 26, 2023 by oishiiniku_uk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marka Ragnos Posted September 26, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted September 26, 2023 (edited) I've changed my mind from a couple days ago ... I think we need to start strong. The twin ideas of "resting" uninjured players and "giving a chance" to new squadies seem dubious to me. We mustn't let this one slip through our fingers. “Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results" and all that -- i don't want another stevenage or legia. Maybe Ollie for Duran even. Edited September 26, 2023 by Marka Ragnos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fun Factory Posted September 26, 2023 Share Posted September 26, 2023 This is going to go to 2 replays and Brian Little to get the winner. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vive_La_Villa Posted September 26, 2023 Share Posted September 26, 2023 Hard to call as no idea how strong both teams will be. But they will most likely rest players as will Villa and we have a better squad than them so I reckon we’ll win. Their main concern will be staying in the league.

tomav84 Posted September 26, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted September 26, 2023 3 more PL teams out tonight. city can't win it. we have a real chance of winning this competition. i know we'll make changes, but i'll be pissed if they're wholesale and really don't want to see olsen and/or chambers i'd rather win tomorrow and lose saturday to be honest 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I was saying 'oh God no Heskey on the wing' was I not a proper supporter then as well? Wow a victim , never said you weren’t a proper supporter but these kind of comments achieve nothing.

I get that, I think we might well though, Emery tends to persist. I think he had a bad game against Warsaw, I don't think he'll ever be a great right back, but I think he's a bit better than that showing. I think the game will be decided by what sort of team Everton play - I think if Dyche goes full strength to try to kick start the season, then we'll be in trouble. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BleedClaretAndBlue Posted September 27, 2023 Share Posted September 27, 2023 Looking for our first cup win under Unai which seems weird to say... Hopefully lessons learned from rotating too much; id like us to continue our impressive record against Everton, who will be buoyant after a decent showing at Brentford. Can see this being a draw and decided on pens. If Emi is rested, could be handy just to bring him on in the 90th minute to psyche out the opposition.

But I think that's how Emery will line the team up. Ideally we would have a proper right back to come in for Cash, but currently we don't and plan B (Konsa at RB) isn't an option until Carlos is fit.

Dyche will probably play McNeill at left wing and he's not the paciest attacker so probably an easier test for Chambers as it would be more about blocking crosses than worrying about getting skinned.
