Pre Match Thread - Cup Final 10 of 10


Recommended Posts

i think he'll leave it up to the players. who WANTS to play. who's got little injuries and doesn't want to risk their euro championship that starts in a few weeks

isn't there a copa america too? emi might want to make sure he's fit for that

Do we even need to play this game, Cant we just forfeit it? and send a message that there is too many games in a season.
Let the players go on a early holiday

I mean.. probably not, no.

Be surprised if Bailey puts himself through the wringer again, reckon we’ll see some of the kids starting this one and I honestly couldn’t care less about the result, it’s party time!

Defo a case of who wants to play can play, providing they’re not injured. Ollie will want his 20th, and I expect the rest will be a mix of youth and those still up for it. Absolutely no pressure, a party atmosphere, and chance to celebrate with the away fans. I’d want to play if I was one of them.

Go with strong team, and then make changes around 55 onwards.

                          Martinez

Konsa      Carlos          Pau       Digne

                             (80. Swinkels)

           Tielemans       Luiz (60. Tim)

Diaby (60. KHH)           McGinn (80. Young)

               Duran       Watkins

                            (80. Kellyman/Wilson)   

 

Bailey needs rest, and considering that Zaniolo, Rodgers, Cash, Moreno not fully fit.

Tielemans should be rested he shouldn't risk himself with the European Championship. 

We should play 3 4 3 like we did against Olympiakos

This is no longer a cup final (thank McGrath). It's after the Lord Mayor's show. Subjectively, we could be the most 'on the beach' team of the weekend. Could be hungover too. This could be a walloping against one of the most in-form sides in the division.  And I have Palace assets in my sights in the fantasy league too.  I have no expectations on this game. Although obviously I'd love us to go out and play with the freedom of no pressure, and put manners on them, and for Ollie to get league goal number 20. But I''d be surprised if we get anything here, and I really don't mind. It'll be a celebration, and I know the away fans will do us proud.

Am I imagining things, or is there some rule where we HAVE to put out our strongest side, or it within reason? I know there's something like that in the Championship isn't there?

As for aims for this match, Ollie to score 20th and then at half time they can get the board games out and watch a U rated movie... no, wait, that's what I do at school in last week...

Yes, but it doesn't apply to us big clubs :mrgreen:

But seriously, I believe their used to be formal rules around this, but they no longer exist. I think the league can fine clubs doing it though, but "manager's discretion" would be a reasonable defence.

We can't play rush golaie.
