Subscriber RandoEFC+ Posted October 27, 2019 Subscriber Posted October 27, 2019 First visit to Goodison for me in about two years. Even though we're shit and it would be the most Everton thing ever for Watford to come and do us 3-0 and drive the final nail into Silva's coffin, I'm looking forward to going.
Cicero Posted October 27, 2019 Posted October 27, 2019 Rotation is needed. I would genuinely take a defeat here if it means we get six points against Watford and Palace. Willy James---Rudiger---Tomori----Emerson Jorginho---Kovacic Pedro------Pulisic-------CHO Bats
Administrator Stan Posted October 27, 2019 Author Administrator Posted October 27, 2019 Given we're not in Europe and this is a genuine chance for silverware, I still expect us to take this competition seriously. Can see us rotating a bit though given the opposition though. Ward Justin - Soyuncu - Evans - Chilwell Choudhury Praet - Maddison Perez - Iheanacho/Gray - Barnes Iheanacho's not even been on the bench for several games so wouldn't surprise me if Gray does start as a striker.

That team could do it however not certain that Rudiger could already start.
HawayTheLads Posted October 28, 2019 Posted October 28, 2019 Oxford are a tricky team and we are quite rocky with our form and in terms of which 'Sunderland' is going to be on the pitch.
LFCMike Posted October 28, 2019 Posted October 28, 2019 Pretty much the same side as the last round is something I'd be happy with. Adrian in goal though even though Kelleher did well. Adrian deserves the domestic cup games.
Subscriber Dan+ Posted October 29, 2019 Subscriber Posted October 29, 2019 We're the only tie that isn't between two teams in the same league as each other. This is a banana skin, it would be an amazing scalp for them, but we've treated the cup with the right attitude this year so I expect us to win comfortably - though it would be the most Leicester thing possibly ever to go and win 9-0 and then lose to Burton Albion.

Gray on the right and Perez through the middle I reckon, similar to Luton. I reckon Albrighton and Fuchs will play as well. This will be trickier than Luton in my opinion.
LFCMike Posted October 29, 2019 Posted October 29, 2019 Sounds like Kelleher will play according to Pep Lijnders

Burton got dicked 9-0 in January by Man City, I expect you guys to do the same this time.
Administrator Stan Posted October 29, 2019 Author Administrator Posted October 29, 2019 Several changes... Ward Justin - Morgan - Evans - Fuchs Choudhury Praet - Tielemans Albrighton - Iheanacho - Gray

Adrian has proven hes a good goalkeeper and needs to be given games especially considering we could go very far in this tournament.

That round is the week Liverpool travel for the Club World Cup

Oh yeah it would definitely be rescheduled, without doubt. Until when though? The semi finals normally start the first week of January

The semi finals normally start the first week of January I think it would lead to a congested schedule to coincide with the semi-finals being pushed out as a result which still ends up being poor for us. This is why I always question these weird tournaments late in the year. I get that FIFA wants these tournaments as a cash influx but disrupting regular domestic football shouldn't be something that FAs agree too. Edit: this is all just hypothetical. Arsenal could just knock us out.

You must wish you stayed at home by the sounds of it mate
Administrator Stan Posted October 29, 2019 Author Administrator Posted October 29, 2019 We're bossing it and not even playing to our full strength. We've opened Burton up so many times and could realistically be 4-0 or 5-0 up. Our first goal was quality. Passed it quickly from our box with precision and Kelechi couldn't miss. Praet set up Tielemans for our 2nd.

Soon as I got them in the GloryHunter League it was a given that they would lose and now it looks like we are getting you the same thing is going to happen so expect a defeat soon...
