GAZZANIGA

FOYTH _ SANCHEZ _ TANGANGA _ CIRKIN

WINKS _ SKIPP

CLARKE _ LAMELA _ SESSEGNON

SON (c)


Vorm, Dier, Vertonghen, Sissoko, Lo Celso, Lucas, Parrott​

That team is a big risk considering who we're playing & I suspect Jose has earmarked this as a competition he has a chance of winning, so whilst I suspect there will be changes I only expect 4 or so.

Fuck knows but I think we will be fairly full strength, whether that’s a good thing or not, I don’t know.

I know we need a morale boosting win...

I’m not too sure we’ll actually get it.

That said, it’s quite common for shit prem sides to turn in a blinder in the cup.

Gazzainga
Aurier Sanchez Toby Sessegnon
Skipp
Lo Celso Eriksen
Lamela Parrott Son​

we need to see how skipp and parrott fare within the first team setup so this is just about the right balance for me. it's pointless chucking them into a side filled with other kids trying to find their way and players who aren't starting regularly, that's just setting them up to fail. that said i'm not sure either will actually start.

I shudder to think what might happen if they turn up with the usual "can't be arseholed" attitude.

Son, or Mad Dog as he prefers to be called these days, will likely get himself another long suspension after fisting the referee for looking at him "funny".

That’s probably better than tromboning him in the centre circle.

Depending on Ndombeles fitness:

Gazza
Aurier Toby Sanchez Sess
Skipp
Ndombele Winks
Lamela Dele
Son

width from the fullbacks both bombing on, Skipp sitting in front of the defence. Winks for possession. Ndombele forward passes. Lamela and Dele around the box and Son fresh up front.

I thought everyone was expecting JM to really go strong in the cups this season in the desperate hunt for silverware. I suspect he may play a stronger team than people expect
That may be so but as always, I like a lot of us chose the team we want to see, and am not trying to second guess the Manager

Recipe

4 x Argentinians
4 x English
1 x Colombian
1 x Brazilian
1 x Korean
Mix as follows:



Gazzaniga

Foyth ___ Sanchez ____ Tanganga ___ Sessegnon

Winks ____ Skipp

Lucas ___ Lo Celso ___ Lamela

Son
1) Put on pitch for 45 minutes while game managing for positive results

2) Take out assess for 15 minutes, tinkering where necessary

3) Put back on pitch for another 45 minutes where hopefully desired results will be achieved

4) If required we could swap any of the above for another English (Dier) or an Irish man (Parrott) to sure up results!

Clarke is back so theoretically could play. Only trouble with that is, it would mean he couldn’t play for another club this season as he’d of played for two.

given this is Jose’s only shot at a trophy this season, think he’ll go strong:

Gaz
Aurier Toby Sanchez Rose
Skipp Dier
Lucas Eriksen Lo Celso
Son

hopefully Parrott, Tanganga and a few more kids will be on the bench.
