No idea who Lampard will go with but hope we get through to the next round and beat this lot on weekend, which is the premier league game.

RPG Posted November 7, 2022 Report Share Posted November 7, 2022 Had we put in a performance v Leicester there could have been a deserved rest for one or two and the opportunity to give a couple of others a run out and a chance to stake their claim. Leicester changed that. Unfortunately, so has the growing injury list. I have no idea if DCL will be fit but I suspect he will be on the bench if he is. Gueye is injured and out of form, Onana is carrying a knock (so we are told) and Iwobi must surely deserve a break. We can't keep relying on him so much. Coleman deserves a break. Begovich Patterson Coady Tarkowski Vinagre Gordon Garner Doucoure Davies McNeil Maupay Pickford, Coleman, Mykolenko, Iwobi, DCL (if fit), Gray on the bench.

We’re now winless in 7 against promoted sides. Saturday is obviously not a must win this early but it sure as hell feels very important with the layoff coming.

Palfy Posted November 7, 2022 Report Share Posted November 7, 2022 I would think Bournemouth will rather win Saturday and get the 3 points than get into the next round of the league cup. And I think we will be looking at the same outcome, we don't want Bournemouth going 2 points ahead of us at the weekend. So I think we will see 2 teams made up of fringe players, so anyone's game, but not a must win for any team, but Saturday is a different matter.

Rumors of Keane out on loan in January so more important to us to get the other CBs who might actually play this season some minutes. Remember Coady is on loan from Wolves and thus will miss those games. Only use Gray and Iwobi if needed with an eye towards the weekend. Hopefully Bournemouth have a weak lineup and we cruise through allowing us to throw on some youth like Mills, Welch, or Cannon. Would tell the midfield to stay in shape, pack the middle, and control the game which might allow our full backs to get forward.

(It appears to me, too, that he’s inclined to get forward, despite lacking obvious attacking skills. But that’s a discussion for another day....) As for Garner, I haven’t seen him as a sitter, but if he is, by all means play him there. Davies, too, but he’s not played there much, if at all. So, as for 6 midfielders, yes, we got ‘em, but only Gana Gueye seems to play sitter, and he’s injured. I do think Holgate deserves a start in this match, and expect Lampard to start him. Undoubtedly in the back 4 rather than as wind-up sitter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FairWooney Posted November 8, 2022 Report Share Posted November 8, 2022 11 changes, on the plus side we never even used to have enough players to do that! only 3 of Saturdays 11 on the bench as well! I don't mind that and don't mind the 3-5-2, wouldn't be against us giving it another go in the league as our current 4-3-3 doesn't seem to be getting us much going forward. Patterson and Vinagre both capable of causing them problems down the wings. My concern would be not having an experienced centre back to cover Mina's likely injury mid game! Given that none of the 3 have played in a long time and 2 of them have been injured it's quite a risk to not have any experienced defenders on the bench.
