Domestic Cups 2025/26

[Reds73]

Front 4 likely to be Mcatee, Hutchinson, Bakwa and Kalimuendo

It’s gotta be 

Midfield of Anderson and luiz please

Zinchenko and savona full back

Anderson won’t play.
He played all summer, only had 2 weeks off, just played 2 x 90 for England and we have another 6 games in 18 days.

Would be crazy to play him in this one

Indeedy. And not just him, we have to rotate.

There's a big difference between 11 changes and 5 changes though. Plus Ange will be wanting to get his message across and will see the League Cup as probably his best chance at silverware.

John
Zinchenko
Milenkovic
Morato or Cunha
Savona
Luiz
Yates
MGW
CHO
Kaliumendo
Bakwa

Fair play to Grimsby but Sheffield Wednesday are f****d.

[Fumanchew]

Did they make many changes? Perhaps they just wanna focus on the league, long way to go yet for them

[stirred]

Well Grimsby did beat Man Utd in the last round :)

They were favourites today actually vs Sheffield Weds, fourth division side and away from home.

3rd round draw tonight.

Im thinking we need to be out of this as soon as possible, field as few 1st teamers as we can get away with and hope we go out to a team where we dont get embarrassing headlines. Dont want Derby or Leicester for the same reason. Sorry to be a spoilsport.

That's an interesting perspective  :Funny: There was a lot of blaming being out of the league cup being a reason for fringe players not being match fit.

I depressingly thought the same, we just need to make our entire season the Europa League and staying up in the PL this year.

Be a good away day there to be fair. But can you imagine the headlines were we to lose that one!

Id like to think the academy who play in Papa John's or whatever it now could get involved Vs a team of that level!
