We've obviously missed Coutinho and Sturridge tons, but I'm weirdly most excited by Origi getting healthy again.
As usual,watching the match on telly.I won't have a beer till we score.Tea anybody?
West Ham will destroy us. They are very good at home, organised, they have a star player, good midfield, good leaders and pace.We have Mignolet so if we needed to score 5 against Norwich to win how many against these?Depressed
For f**k sake! 'West Ham will destroy us'. What kind of supporter's disposition is that? Where's your optimism? I don't give a sh*t what form Mignolet and the defence is in - it still doesn't stop many of us (I hope that's MOST OF US) from believing that we can progress tomorrow night.
MignoletFlanno Toure Caulker Smith Lucas Brannigan Teixeira Firmino Ibe BentekeI'd have mixed it up a bit more for the PL match vs Sunderland, then maybe some of the more regular PL starters could line up against WH, but now I can't see it really. Expecting a lot of changes.Flanno and Smith aren't a step down on our PL starters imo, so both start. Toure too. Caulker is bit of an unknown, but will prob start.Then Lucas back in, with Brannigan in front of the defense.Then 4 attack minded guys. Have to start Firmino, our form forward. I wouldn't have Ibe on but think he'll start, Tex I'd have started vs. Sunderland but I guess will start here instead. And 32mill bucks of striking prowess up front.Not sure we're favorites to go through here, will need us to step up a level to get by these at home. Could be doing with staying in this Cup, but am more hopeful than expectant. Maybe thats the best way to be CMON BOYS!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have been persuaded that Ward should play but if Couthino,Sturridge and Flanno are available I think he will put out a big side this is a very important game for us
Not too confident about the game tonight, the way the defence is playing. Agree strongest possible side should be picked, if we have any chance of remaining in the completion.
Surely we must play our strongest team? I don't know what that is, nor would I particularly fancy us even if we did, but should we win we have a very winnable tie in the next round. Win that and we're in the quarters, by then we might be playing well. We're hardly likely to achieve much in the league, so my feeling is we ought to go absolutely all out in the cups.
4-4-2 Get Sturridge up top with Benteke for 20 mins before he goes off injured and hopefully he can bag a few goals.
Just having Daniel on the pitch is going to make their defence move back a yard or two. Can't wait to see what team starts we actually have options tonight.
