Subscriber RandoEFC+ 7,664 Posted September 25, 2023 Subscriber Share Posted September 25, 2023 Hoping for an improvement from the 4-0 a few weeks ago. I'm hoping Dyche puts out a pretty strong team and that Villa might use the opportunity to rotate the squad a bit given that they've got European commitments. It's a really crap draw actually but choosing the Man Utd game and El Gassico for the television coverage is a horrendous shout. Salford vs Burnley should definitely have been on and then one of Exeter vs Luton, Ipswich vs Wolves or Lincoln vs West Ham. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subscriber Dan+ 1,918 Posted September 25, 2023 Subscriber Share Posted September 25, 2023 We'll lose but will be an interesting marker against how we did when facing Liverpool in pre-season. This is a bit of a free hit for me. Given we're in the Championship I don't think this competition can be a priority and I'd probably sooner be dealt this in round 3 than in the quarter finals. I predict we give a decent account of ourselves but lose 3-1 or something like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I predict we give a decent account of ourselves but lose 3-1 or something like that. Free hit for me, too. Especially considering how good the start to the league season has been and the likelihood of how much rotation there'll be for us. Expecting the likes of Coady, Daka, Hamza, Justin, Yunus, Albrighton, Stolarczyk to start. Hope it's not a hammering and maybe that's less likely with the likely Liverpool rotation too. Not bothered if we lose, but just hope it's not a heavy one or that it doesn't derail the league form. Maresca will hopefully make sure we do give a good showing though.

Bluebird Hewitt 1,282 Posted September 25, 2023 Share Posted September 25, 2023 Would be nice to progress, but not too fussed either way really. I'm sure @Carnivore Chris and @JoshBRFC probably think similarly as well. Both sides will likely make several changes from the last league game. Would be shocked if Ramsey plays any part in this game and should be kept back for Rotherham on Saturday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the problem with being in the Championship, there isn't really time for anything else and the focus all goes on the league. It'd be different if both teams were midtable Prem sides as you can put more into cups that way. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redcanuck 175 Posted September 26, 2023 Share Posted September 26, 2023 Probably the best United have played all year. But Palace were horrid, didn't look like they were interested in being out there. Hopefully we get the same result on Saturday in the league.

To be honest I don't think they were. We haven't got the depth to be competing in a second tournament in the first half of the season. The board have really let everybody down.

I'm feeling a little more optimistic about it than I was having seen the XI Liverpool put out in this round last year. Don't think it's entirely beyond us to win. I think he wants to rotate in general anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Blue 1,901 Posted September 27, 2023 Share Posted September 27, 2023 We don't have any interest in this game, Phillips who couldn't get near a friendly starts tonight, Newcastle treating it the same. would of been better games to put on the box then this tbh XI | Ortega, Lewis, Akanji, Ake (C), Gvardiol, Gomez, Phillips, Kovacic, Bobb, Grealish, Alvarez SUBS | Ederson, Carson, Walker, Dias, Haaland, Doku, Nunes, Foden, Hamilton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But ref seems to be letting a lot go. Been a Liverpool onslaught since the goal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
