I'm not looking forward to this one. Eddie hasn't been able to rotate, we look tired and have players missing. The strength in depth of our squad is nowhere near the level of the likes of Arsenal. It could be all over in the first leg.

 

Eddie has defied conventional thinking so many times in the last three years, but this may be beyond him.

 

I think he needs to have a bit of faith in his squad and rotate players who could do with a rest. The likes of Joelinton need a game out, and we do have other options in most positions other than striker. Don't need to go mad with it, I can understand he wants to keep the midfield intact, but we have decent options in Willock, Longstaff and Miley.

Thought it could have come yesterday earlier. Joelinton in particular looked knackered and was making stupid mistakes. Plus it felt like a game for Willock and Barnes with the space they were leaving. 
 

Tuesday is just the sort of game you need Joelinton. I don’t think there will be many changes other than perhaps Kelly in for Botman and whoever plays instead of Bruno.

Dubravka

Livramento

Burn

Botman/Kelly

Hall

Longstaff

Sandro

Joelinton

Murphy

Isak

Gordon

 

If we’re looking leggy after an hour then the options of Trippier, Willock, Barnes etc are there.

 

Need to make sure we stay in the tie here. A 1 goal defeat wouldn’t be the end of the world but if we could get a draw or better it would be unreal.

Massive task to win this cup with the teams left in, never really put much hope into it. Maybe defence mechanism :lol:

 

Just take it one game at a time, if we can keep it tight in this one it's on back at SJP.


Yeah always was going to be tough as no upsets this year. As tough as it gets. I’m just loving we are competing as a club again. Great to be in another semi. Winning anything will never be guaranteed the stronger the league gets. A narrow win wouldn’t guarantee anything even. Draw would be great even. Just wouldn’t fancy us more than a goal down 2nd leg though unless Arsenal don’t go full strength for any reason.

I'd go:

 

Dubravka; Trippier, Kelly, Burn, Hall; Longstaff, Tonali, Willock; Murphy, Isak, Gordon

 

Then for Bromley:

 

Odysseas; Livramento, Schar, Botman, Targett; Bruno, Miley, Joelinton; Willock, Osula, Barnes

 

with a strong bench including Isak, Tonali, Murphy, Gordon, Tripps, Hall etc in case we need them to see the tie out.

No two one game bans. Accumulation of 5 yellows in the league before 31.12 and two yellows in the carabao. 

 

So you can get suspended in Carabao for yellows in the league and also yellows in the cup?

I don't think so.

 

He had five yellows in the league so missed Spurs.

 

And he got two yellows in Carabao so misses Arsenal first leg.

As far as I know you'll also be suspended in the cup if the next game after 5 league yellows is a cup game. Or?
