Chelsea v Newcastle United - Wed 22nd September -7:45pm - League Cup 3rd Rd

[Fenham Mag]

Thought i add a shitty poll. Think we should start a mixture of both first team and reserves . We'll still lose.

[joeyt]

Give Krul a game

[Optimistic Nut]

Go full strength for this now, we might just catch them on an off-night like Burnley did a couple of years ago if they put a second-XI out. Still expect a 2 or 3-0 to Chelsea mind but you never know.

[Flip]

Krul

Raylor Sol Colo Kadar

Routledge Tiote Barton Jonas

Ben Arfa

Nile Ranger

 

A mixture would be nice.

[Guest Roger Kint]

Not a bad game for Perch to miss i guess, jammy bastard

[jdckelly]

give ranger vuckic and kadar a game

[Ketsbaia]

                        Krul

R Taylor    Campbell    Williamson    Kadar

 

Routledge    Guthrie    Barton      Jonas

                              Vuckic

                    Ameobi

 

Bench: Soderberg, Coloccini, Tavernier, Smith, Xisco, Lovenkrands, Ranger

 

2-0 defeat

[Guest Roger Kint]

Xisco is suspended

[Elliottman]

id play a fairly strong team. no point in playing the kids and letting them get hammered. put a decent team out and have a go.

[JH]

                        Krul

Taylor  Williamson  Campbell  Enrique

Routledge  Tiote  Barton  Jonas

                    Ben Arfa

                      Carroll

 

It's time we built on confidence, rather than throw it away by completely changing the side. A decent performance and we can take it into the next league game.

This.

[Decky]

I think it will be our 2nd side tbh with the likes of Smith, R.Taylor, Campbell, Lovenkrands and Shola featuring and other areas being filled with 2 or 3 of our first 11. Probably no kids starting.

[AyeDubbleYoo]

Pleased to be going to this now, hopefully we'll play a decent team - almost more important who lines up for them though.

[Dinho lad]

strongest team out. Our schedule is not exactly packed.

[Decky]

strongest team out. Our schedule is not exactly packed.

 

I dont think I would risk our more important players. Should save them for league games to stop them picking up injuries.

[ChrisMcQuillan]

                      Krul

 

Raylor  Campbell  Williamson  Kadar

 

Routledge  Vuckic  Tiote  Jonas

 

        Ameobi  Lovenkrands

think its more important to get 3 points against Stoke so i wouldn't have the the likes of Jose, Colo, Tiote, Ben Arfa and Carroll playing.

[JH]

We leave the better players out and we'll get absolutely destroyed (and I'm talking 6/7) - getting knocked out is inevitable, but putting on a good performance and keeping things respectable is important for confidence and morale.

 

I don't think Enrique will die if he plays in the Carling Cup like.

yes but we'd be screwed if he pulls a hamstring and is out for 6 weeks!

We'd be screwed if he pulls a hamstring against Stoke on Sunday - he's no more or less likely to get injured in a cup game - and despite what people say, it'd be just as gutting if it was in a match that meant something as opposed to a cup game.

[nufcmichael]

Would play

 

Krul

 

Raylor

Enrique

Campbell

Williamson

 

Jonas

Smith

Tiote

Ranger

 

Lovenkrans

 

Ameobi

[BottledDog]

Hughton says he'll be using the squad and making changes for this one on nufctv.

[Newcastle Fan]

Intresting game this one, i think Chelsea will play their kids, i would like it if we go for somethings like this:

 

                                           Krul

 

                        Raylor  Campbell  Kadar  Trav

 

                         Jonas  Smith/Tiote  Nolan/Barton  Vuckic

 

                                Ameobi  Lovenkrands

 

 

Give Nile some time off the bench as well..shame Xisco is out for this one as it would've really been good to give him some time.

[Mick]

I'd play the kids again as I wouldn't be bothered in the slightest if we go out.  3 points next weekend and we're 25% of the way to our first target of the season and we'll only be 6 games in, mental.
