[Toffee-nerd]

Just found out this is on the TV! Nice little mid week surprise Hope we play a fairly strong side to make sure we win comfortably and to let the team gel.

What channel is it on mate?

This should be a game, that if Bolasie or any of our fringe players want anything more to do at this club, he need to play, and terrorise from start to finish

Anyone wanting James to play tonight is mad. The grocks will kick lumps out of him.

Six or seven changes IMO.

Really hope Carlo agrees with you.

I think we could change the whole 11 and still field a side strong enough to beat Salford

I'd personally play reserves exclusively for this competition, but I recognise not many agree with me. I find it worthless. I don’t know or care who won it last season, for example.

I want us to win it, and if we go further I'd play our first team against better opposition.

But don't think we should take the risk of any injuries against a lower league side that even our second string should be able to deal with

Was it the league cup game last season when there was trouble with peoples tickets and loads didn't get in until 20+mins after kick off? Seems like years ago that.

 

[Terrarian]

This competition can give you momentum and purpose very quickly in the season, more than is normal this year because of the schedule.

Pep won it 3 in a row.

If Pep cares, then we should care.

Pep definitely wouldn't play his first team against Salford

 

[pejic]

I'd like Bolassie to get one final chance over the next few weeks, just to see what he's like with some decent players around him.
But perhaps I'm being naive.

We haven't won anything for 25 years mate. No trophy is worthless with a record like that.
