League Cup

[harris78]

What would be your league cup team, assuming all are fit? Top of my head, using the fewest first teamers possible:

Stek

Kenny
Holgate
Keane
Baines

Davies
Schneiderlin

Lookman
Dowell
Niasse

DCL

Not a bad second XI, that...

oooff that is awful IMO

 

[Toffee in Jandals]

C'mon Everton. Just four wins and we're in the semi-finals.

My cup team would be:

Pickford

Coleman
Mina
Zouma
Digne

Gomes
Gueye

Walcott
Bernard
Richarlison

Tosun

Because I want to try and win a cup.

 

[MikeH72]

For the second round I'd include mina, Zouma, digne and Bernard just to get them up to scratch with the british game. But our second XI right now for me is

Stek
Kenny Holgate Keane Baines
Schneiderlin Mccarthy
Bolasie Gomes Lookman
Niasse
​

Which yeah, is pretty good imo.

​

News just in: that team is in fact not very good at all.

 

[ToffeeTim]

Hope we draw the worst possible side we can at home and play the strongest possible team we have available against them.

 

[marsh]

How soon after the draw will we know if we play Tuesday or Wednesday, need to sort getting off work

 

[MikeH72]

If Stekelenburg is our “cup keeper” we’ve written off another season of ending our ever extending trophy drought.

and we'll lose on pens

Agree, you play the odd reserve or two, but most of all it's a very important cup for someone who hasn't won any in 23 years.

 

[evertonandchelmsford]

Think there's a good chance that if our draw is away from home against lower league opposition then it will be televised. With the European clubs not involved...

 

[Toffee in Jandals]

We have no European commitments this season, and when the international break rolls around, I can only think of Pickford, Coleman, Mina, Tosun, Gueye, Siggy and Andre Gomes who would be likely starters for their national teams. (No doubt McCarthy will be picked for Ireland and he'll injure himself again).

So, we have absolutely no excuse to be resting players for the cups. Strongest teams possible please for the League and FA Cups.
