League Cup

[evertonarntwe]

never ever get the point in having a cup keeper unless that keeper is also very good

keepers shouldn't exactly get tired like outfield players, im sure pickford would rather be part of the team that can go on a cup run also

wouldn't even stek on the bench after his preseason, let that kid from arsenal sit on the bench even just for match day experience

I hope we field our b team--give DCL a run out to make his case for a firs team spot.

Overall I'd still take a europa league spot over a league Cup win at the end of the season.

Winning this would give us a Europa League spot.

Our biggest hurdle is there is always one big hitter to overcome and we always seem to fall short in Semi finals against them. This mentality will take time to overcome but we appear to have the right people in place to take us forward.

No, the rs wont be given a tricky/risky fixture like us until the final.

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...

That XI screams 3rd round loss away to Reading

 

[Boba Fret]

I think this is a trophy we should do all we can to win.

Heres hoping for a decent draw tonight.

 

[Ring master]

I would like us to do our best to win any trophy myself,hate it if we play weaken team etc,should always play as strong as pos for me,and not make 10/11 changes

We will get to the final and lose to Liverpool, then reach the FA Cup Final and beat Watford two nil.

My god, you've invented the Wayback Machine, Mr. Peabody.

Brand and Silva, along with Mohiri and Usmanov's money will change our luck, we will win the cup this season, it's time to be optimistic.

But only one girl?

As games go straight to pennos after 90 mins, Pickford will get us to a final.

 

[blue to the bone]

Play a strong team regardless of opposition. No europe this year so no excuses
