Decky Posted October 29, 2023 Share Posted October 29, 2023 What way do we think Man Utd might line out for this, saying they have their own injury problems and are playing just as many games as us? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aiston Posted October 29, 2023 Share Posted October 29, 2023 Man Utd, Arsenal, Dortmund, Bournemouth, Chelsea & PSG are our games in November. We are threadbare and tired as fuck, we have to give players a rest at some point. No one wants to throw a game but we have to decide what front's to fight on as it cannot be all them.

Wandy Posted October 29, 2023 Share Posted October 29, 2023 Dear God. It’s only October FFS and we have essentially a young team. We should NOT be resting the core of our side for this game. Older players like Trippier and Burn need a rest, but not players like Bruno and Gordon. I will be livid if we play a weak team against these on Wednesday. They are on their knees morale-wise and we should be going for their jugular. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mouldy_uk Posted October 29, 2023 Share Posted October 29, 2023 Will be interesting to see how Eddie plays this. Our best chance of winning something, so theoretically we should play the strongest side, but he may have to gamble and rotate a bit knowing there is little chance of us going deep in Europe and a domestic cup and finishing high in the league.

Not anytime soon, when there are so many big games coming thick and fast. He’s barely played 15 games in 3 months. Here we are, still trophyless, and people want us to play a weak team for a game we have a brilliant chance of winning. Madness. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteV Posted October 29, 2023 Share Posted October 29, 2023 Not sure Joelinton plays tbh. Howe said after he took him off v Dortmund, something along the lines of ‘working back to full fitness’ and ‘managing his load’. Given he did the full 90 yesterday, he might get a rest.

We have absolutely no one who can fill in for Bruno if he gets injured. On that basis alone he needs resting. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don’t rest a player just because you are worried about him getting injured man. Should we rest him against Arsenal too then? The point is that Wednesday is a huge game and we need to win, therefore we need a strong team out there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mondonewc Posted October 29, 2023 Share Posted October 29, 2023 As a football fan, solely looking at the two games in isolation without the future impact results can have, I really can't get my head around how Arsenal next Saturday is so much more important than this game on Wednesday. Of course, those other factors matter, but for people to be happy to just basically sack this game off is absurd to me. If we win we are three games away from lifting the cup and we've knocked out two of the favourites to win it, I don't give a shit that it's "only" the Carabao Cup, we haven't won nowt for fucking forever, as if we can be picky! It's a stretch but I'd go as far as to say there's an argument that this game is bigger than Dortmund the following week, getting that monkey off our back and winning a trophy is fucking monumental for this club, the players, the staff, everyone. Would absolutely love it if we go there and do them on Wednesday. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair enough - if I could pick one game to win, it’s this one. We’re not winning the European Cup or league title this season. This - along with the one I’d really love to win in May - is our chance of finally winning something. The league gives lots of chances to catch back up - and top 5 likely finishes in the European Cup next season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattoon Posted October 29, 2023 Share Posted October 29, 2023 We'll 100% see some rotation, Trippier looked badly fatigued yesterday and big Joe is still making his way back. Howe won't want to mix it up too much buy definitely conscious of the amount of games mounting up. Can see Hall, Targett and Lovramento starting, maybe Wilson on the bench and Gordon starts up front.
