So, we 'll be missing Bruno and Schär. And they're missing Saka and Sterling?

Yeah the key for me is if we can take it back to St James level or 0-1 then I think we’ll do them. No Saka is a massive plus for us but Schar being out is a massive concern in the first leg.

Trialling a VAR change in the semi final of the cup ffs.

In a tournament that hasn’t used VAR in any of the previous rounds

Who the fuck is asking for this, man?

 

"I'll tell you what we need to sort VAR: in-play referee announcements!"

 

Hope they're booed/jeered into the sea.

Is this the first round where all clubs still involved have VAR capacity to begin with?

They shouldn’t try it now but I think more communication in the stadium is better. At the moment nobody gets an explanation of what’s happening.

Stating that bleeding obvious that.

This doesn't solve that.

"Well the player in question is a Scouser and they're all cunts..."

 

"Oh shit! We're live? The player in question is offside. Clearly offside..."

 

Could be fun actually... 😄

Payment for the second leg getting taken on Thursday (2nd) for those in the cup scheme.

Howay!

Surely we need to rotate some as we didn’t do it today? I don’t want us to but gotta be careful so that we don’t run into a fatique sort of situation.

I think most will be rested against Bromley on Saturday.

Yeah most likely. I’m just sure all players today can manage a game on Tuesday already without risking an injury. Hopefully they know.

Hope seemed to think Trippier would come in for this for his experience, which you could see.

 

Obviously questionable whether it’s sensible to start Botman so soon again.

 

Other than that I think Eddie will be loathe to ‘rest’ anyone, especially after what happened the last time he did that at Brentford.

[GEFAFWISP]

This is going to gave some needle. Hope Havertz is ready for BDB and Joelinton.

[Checko]

Didn't Tino basically just shut down Martinelli last time? I'd be inclined to keep him in.

[Holloway]

Can't wait for this now, living in their heeds rent free with this run we're on 

[El Prontonise]

Tough game.

[Maggies]

Bruno and Schar suspended for this?
