Stan 15,542 Posted October 22, 2017 Author Share Posted October 22, 2017 bit shit that Arsenal and Norwich both play today and then again 2 days later. Game could have easily been played on Wednesday with Tottenham vs West Ham switched to Tuesday (obviously their league game against Liverpool today could have stayed on Saturday).

It'll be two totally different teams that play, probably for both sides but certainly for Arsenal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norwich don't have the squad depth like Arsenal do. Wouldn't surprise me that if they did play weaker squads, the Football League would punish Norwich for it.

Lucas 3,311 Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 We will definitely rotate. We're playing Friday night against Sheffield United on Sky so we will want to keep players fresh. I will assume we'll keep a winning side as it is for that game, I just don't know how many changes we'll make but there will be at least 5, possibly more, but potentially it could line up like this... ----------------------Weideweld Anita Jansson Shaughnessy Borthwick-Jackson --------------------Klich Viera --------------Sacko Hernandez Dallas --------------------------Roofe A combination of Lasogga, Saiz, Alioski, Ayling, Cooper, Pennington, Phillips, O'Kane, Lonergan on the bench.

Dan 1,708 Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 (edited) Leeds have an arguably more important game at the weekend, have more to play for in the league and play their game at the weekend on Friday night whereas we play Sunday. We have no excuse for not beating what is likely to be a highly rotated Leeds side. 3-1 Leicester. Iheanacho to bag. Gray and Chilwell to turn up. I expect something like... Jakupovic Amartey - Morgan - Dragovic - Chilwell Gray - King - Iborra - Albrighton Slimani - Iheanacho With Okazaki coming on when we realise again he's about the only forward we actually perform with at the minute Edited October 24, 2017 by Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucas 3,311 Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 That team is more than capable of beating what we will put out IMO, even if we went stronger than anticipated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ironically Jakupovic is doing what Hamer had to do over the past couple of years I hope we do see Dragovic though. About time he got a run out.

True Blue 898 Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 You can't beat anyone? Your manager just got sacked? You are bottom of the table? Do you need points after you had been in shit form? Call Chelsea Football Club, we will provide you with points and a terrible performance to make you look like Barcelona and make ourselves look like a pub team. We will probably lose tomorrow to Everton it is just our style. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would like to think we could bounce on from the win against Watford especially being at home as well but if we have the wrong attitude then we are only going to end up shooting ourselves in the foot again.. Who is in temporary charge at Everton for the time being? Just I can see them being rallied and putting in a stellar performance and knocking us out..

I suppose given the situation the main focus will be getting your league position sorted out and the Cup will be way down on the radar.. would be good to see some of our own youngsters out there.. I understand that Phil Neville has hinted that he may be interested in the role how do you feel about that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Jakupovic signing looks absolutely baffling. I can't get my head around him being behind Hamer. Dragovic I'm sure will start. I swear to god if it's Slimani & Ulloa I'm going home.

Lucas 3,311 Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 10 changes for us as expected. Gives the lads who've been on the fringes a chance to impress and others like Jansson and Pablo a chance to get themselves back in the first XI. I fully expect Leicester to overpower us tonight mind. 2-0. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stan 15,542 Posted October 24, 2017 Author Share Posted October 24, 2017 Hernandez just scored a superb goal for Leeds. Weaves in and out a couple of Leicester players outside the box and gets a shot away which goes in just off the bar. Good strike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cicero 4,876 Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 Much like Watford against us, Norwich should of absolutely buried the game against Arsenal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stan 15,542 Posted October 24, 2017 Author Share Posted October 24, 2017 Leicester 3-1 Leeds. Hernandez opened the scoring with a great hit 20 yards out. Funnily enough, after that we were the most comfortable and the quick equaliser definitely helped. With the assistance of a mix-up of some sorts between Leeds' goal-keeper and defender, it left Iheanacho the chance to pick his spot just outside the box and make it 1-1. We were stronger as the half went on and didn't face much of a test in the 2nd half either. I think the quality showed and Slimani bundled in about half-way through the 2nd half, after missing an absolute sitter. Mahrez sealed the win running in from the wing and curling a finish in. Hope Leeds come up to be honest. I know it was a mix of first team and second string but I feel like this is the season they could finally make their return to the Premier League. They have some players who could do a job based on league form so far and this game - Hernandez especially. Saiz and Lasogga are doing well, too. As for us, been a while since we had a cup run! Will be good if Norwich and/or Wolves get through. If they do, would like them or Bristol City in the next round. Anything to get through to the final and face someone big then... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
