gbandit Posted November 1, 2023 Share Posted November 1, 2023 Think we could well do these pathetic slimy slugs tonight. Can see some of the lads who don’t get a lot of game time playing out of their skins Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wallsendmag Posted November 1, 2023 Share Posted November 1, 2023 I know why he's picked this team but it just feels like it could be a massive missed opportunity if we don't win. A win would mean both Manchester teams, Spurs and Villa already out (Arsenal losing). What a great chance that would be to get our first domestic trophy since 1955!

The League Cup was always going to be the lowest priority this season and the line-up definitely reflects that. Man U will win at a canter thus relieving a little of the pressure on ten Hag and we'll look ahead to bigger and better games in the next few weeks. It is what it is Totally agree with 99% of your post but I’m not even frustrated- just meh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no problem with the selected team - you have to consider each and every one of them are drilled in Howe's system by now and will be condiderably better than anything they could have produced under Bruce. Also the disrespect for Ritchie, is he top level?, of course not but he has tons of experience and heart and he's a leader. Man U to self-destruct through Anthony. Ritchie has shed loads of experience, you’re right. But he’s also experienced in being a bit shite. What role are we expecting him to perform?

The game could be over by half time. Bollocks man It's the 7k fans job to stand and sing their bollocks off for 90 minutes Most of them would (should unless they're JCL'S )have watched far worse 11s than that in their time Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfcastle Posted November 1, 2023 Share Posted November 1, 2023 (edited) 6 minutes ago, Jonas said: So that's just Lee, Albert, Howey, Sellars, Fox and Peacock missing from a squad smaller than we have now. Bracewell too. He'd have played before Clark. Clark, Watson and obviously Mathie, Nielson and Jeffrey were not first team players then and how many of those players were out of position that did play? I was there and cant remember where Beardsley played or Jeffrey, but clearly neither up front. Craic was we'd done the hard bit and by the replay they had the injuries, but won.

Sure this happened What I remember most from these days was playing Liverpool with Perch-Williamson in the back, keeping a clean sheet and sending big AC crying down the tunnel.

Armchair Pundit Posted November 1, 2023 Share Posted November 1, 2023 Christ, we're clearly not going for it (not that we had much choice). If we get anything tonight I'll be amazed, half of the team probably aren't even match fit ... bugger Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think Derby away in 1992. I’d still be shouting myself hoarse tonight too, despite being unhappy with the team selected. But it would be singing in defiance, not expectation. That team is simply too much of a gamble for me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The frustration comes from the fact we have so many injuries and tired legs that we have virtually no choice but to put out that XI against a team that's already under a huge amount of pressure. Had we been able to name a much better line-up then I think they'd be there for the taking. They'd probably say the same though tbh.
