Get in, Ijjy! Good stuff.

 

[SuperTimCahill]

Afraid that Austin ****ehole will break the legs of our players. Hate him

 

[eagleowl]

Don't see why this can't be our year in this competition. New sponsors name on the cup, new team winning it.

 

[Jamo Martinez]

My memory went to tits about that game. I was certain we won it....but we didn't.

We won in 02/03 with a Rooney goal. Think it was the first time in 51 years we'd won at Elland Rd.

Almost forgot. Nice work Ijjy. Aren't we unbeaten with you doing the previews?

Much

Hibbert Duffy Distan Oviedo

Mirallas Osman Neville Gueye

Naismith

Anichebe

is what I think Moyes will go with not my opinion

 

[TomDixie]

We don't have the squad depth to have a large amount of rotation, at least with the 3 injuries we already have:

Howard
Coleman Heitinga Jagielka Oviedo
Neville
Naismith Osman Gueye
Anichebe Mirallas
​

Bench:
Mucha, Distin, Baines, Pienaar, Fellaini, Vellios, McAleny

Unused:
Duffy, Garbutt

Injured:
Hibbert, Gibson, Jelavic

The big 3 of Baines, Pienaar and Fellaini rested, but on the bench just in case.

Heitinga - Jagielka could do with the game time together, Coleman should keep his spot at right back, Oviedo to get a decent debut in a match that shouldn't be easy (Elland Road and it being a cup match being factors) but isn't to the same regular standard.

Naismith and Gueye to come in down the flanks; Neville to keep it steady shielding the back four P) and I expect Osman's quality with the ball to shine through in this one.

Mirallas to keep up his good form and Big Vic to smash them (makes me smile typing that).

Nope! I did the Malaga one and they spanked us.

I'm talking about competitive previews not friendly previews

i would play a strong team for this one, say what you like about this cup but its silverware which we all deserve its been too long now. i cant see moyes making many changes tbh and i would go for :
4-4-1-1
Howard
Coleman Heitinga Distin Baines
Naismith Fellaini Neville Gueye
Osman
Anichebe

Subs : Mucha Jagielka Oviedo Pienaar Fellaini Vellios Mcaleny.

i would bring Distin in and give Jags a rest hes started every game so far. We need to keep rotating the 3 main centre backs aswell and i would keep johnny and jags at the back for the southampton game. i think the starting eleven is more than capable of beating them but fellaini and pienaar can come on otherwise. i would give vellios a good 20-30 minute run out and oviedo the same. another goal for big vic would do his confidence the world of good.

 

[ijjysmith]

We should play some reserves or fringe players, aim for at least a draw. I'd take CL qualification over a league cup win. Another tv game. 3 in in 10 days. Everton are on the up. Defence will be under more pressure than they were against Swansea, but to be honest they gave away a lot of chances for a match we dominated. Duffy in, Junior perhaps, certainly no harm in giving Vellios a run out.

The fact we played mainly 1st teamers vs Leyton Orient means I can't see it away to Leeds.

 

[Millea]

Good write that Know a Leeds lad, hope we smash them just so I can be a bit bitter, nah but I've had some dirty feeling they'll do us...COYB
