Am all for leaving him out against Villa. He may have played more minutes than anyone in the team this season so no trouble leaving him out of back-to-back matches.In the old days League Cup cards would carry over for league matches, but it's not that way anymore is it? (EDIT - I see ConZs post now) - He's definitely sitting out the Arsenal game Wednesday, the question will be the Villa game.People can argue for him to be careful but I don't like players thinking about anything other than going all out when they are fielded for a match. Go ahead and give him two matches off prior to City.
Training pics from today out on the official site. No sign of Matip in any of them so I think he will not be involved Wednesday.Elliott, Jones, Brewster, Neco Williams appear set to feature - have been with the first team in training fairly often of late.I noticed more kids drafted in for training today, probably for the bench. I saw Sepp Van den Berg (could he start alongside Gomez?), Leighton Clarkson, Pedro Chirivella, Herbie Kane, Jake Cain, Elijah Dixon-Bonner.Just re-checking those pics, and I hate to bring this up, but I didn't see any sign of Adam Lallana either.
i thought Brewster might have a knock cos he didn't play for the u-23's at the weekend and wasn't on the bench so good he's training.i guess Harvey Elliot's suspension is over?Game is on espn plus streaming only over here,f**k espn.hope to f**k they don't get the champions league rights.
NB: Team no longer available
Close to the same team as the last round. It's the only chance for our youngsters to get some game time, and they'll still give Arsenal a game. Might lose this one by a slight margin, but you never know, some players have a point to prove.
So if I understand that right you think its better for our youngsters to get a run out and for us to lose than to progress, that's bizarre thinking. I actually want us to win a domestic cup again at some point and Arsenal have some very good youngsters so if we want to get to the next round then we'll need a good mix of experience and youth in this match.
But what if we win with these kids? I'd said we'd still give them a game, we could win. Can't risk any injuries to main players.
We should definitely play Hoever, Elliot, and Brewster also. I'd go with... AdrianHoever Gomez Lovren Milly Lallana Keita Ox Elliot Brewster Origi
