EFL Cup / League Cup

It’s an issue with our own success to be honest as I said lack of space.

Nowhere else it could go.

Oh Luton play Man Utd on Sunday.

The squad is big enough to rotate effectively.

If we proceed at least to the semi-finals of both Europa League and the FA cup, this is literally our last available midweek slot so it was completely expected. No complaining about that. And I do not envy Chelsea at all - they do not play in Europe so they can have multiple midweek slots later.

Over 90mins should not be too bad…
If extra time kicks in though, it might be telling in the later stages

Just have to do what we did on Wednesday

Wish Robinson was doing it.

Hopefully Kav has the shits and they substitute that guy in.

Great. 2 fucking cheats in the most important roles. We have been truly blessed this season.

@Iftikhar well done.

Opened all League Cup threads.

Shame the Everton one isn’t away…

Couple of early PL exits coming early then.

The tie that’s caught my eye…Brighton & Hove Albion v Crawley Town.

B&HA’s “derby” game is usually Palace (stupid M23) but Crawley are a much more local club.

Watch Bobby tear it up tonight for Salzburg or watch Everton get humiliated in the cup by Doncaster…

For now it’ll be the early kick off between Boro and Stoke where Koumas starts, and is taking up a position on the right.

Nvm, just seen Bobby isn’t in their squad, probably not registered yet in truth. Everton it is.

& Koumas has just registered a nice little assist, great run and then pulls it back to the penalty spot. Nice touch and finish from whoever scored…looks about 18 himself.

Everton will win at the end though , even if they have some tough moments.

That’s because he is!

Emre Tezgel. They also have 17 year olds Souleymane Sidibe and Jaden Dixon starting.

Wasn’t it Doncaster that Beto came on against last year and they were raving how great he was?

Anyhow “we shall not be moved”.

Bar down to the docklands area…

I’m actually choosing to watch Everton… why? :joy:
