Interesting looking at various starting XI's I thought Bloom said he was keen on cup runs as well as Premier survival.

Why not start strong and adjust accordingly, I'm sure players would rather play than train.

Schelotto
White
Barclay

Jahanbakhsh
Kayal

Gyokeres
Locadia

Spot on.

 

[Lewes Punk]

Very much doubt we'll play 442. Imagine keeping the same formation as the first team will be the order of the day.

Sorry misunderstood but I do not like Bernado at tight back, I think that when Izzy is back they will work well together on the left.

Oh er Misses. Does Bernado like it tight at the back?
Must be that Omsungephonethingy again!

More likely to be about Dunk being fit for Fulham

 

[Noah All]

Button
Bernardo
White
Duffy
Suttner
Ali J
Kayal
Propper
Gyokeres
Gross
Locadio

Bernardo at RB is a worry, but it allows Suttner to play LB.
With a changed back line Duffy or Balogun must play CB for their experience.
I would play Bissouma against Fulham rather than Propper because Fulham have a dodgy defence.

Seems odd to rush Dunk back just before the international break - and odder to let Fulham know ?

 

[Blue Valkyrie]

White ruled out by slight injury.

[Cozzy]

given the defensive injuries ... line up could now be

Button

Bernado - Balogun - Barclay - Suttner
Ali J - Kayal - Bissouma - Gyokeres
Gross
Locadia

should be good enough to give Saints a run for their money

Is Max Sanders injured or on loan

I'm in this camp too. It's the only realistic chance we've got to WIN a proper trophy - and qualify for European football. The big clubs in Europe this year won't take it seriously until later - so to give ourselves a chance why not actually try and win something. Why not believe that the investment in the squad is enough to keep us in the Premier League again - and focus on success rather than the minimum required to not fail. The scourge of modern football - aiming for success is dangerous......

I would love for us to really go for the cup's , strongest team where possible , but the reality is and always will be ... the prem comes first and has priority so will always have the best players held back for it to keep them fresh and injury free.

I can understand the prem comes first after all it brings in more money than a cup run , but I would still like us to have a go with a really strong team in all the rounds , apart from anything it helps build that 'winning feeling'

Qualifying for Europe is the last thing we need in the first 10 seasons in the PL, look what it did for Birmingham, Wigan and now Burnley

Rotation !

I’ve just seen they are using VAR in some games but not all, how is this a thing?

Surely it should be all or none?

Different rules in the same cup

Because they are testing it.

You will notice the grounds they are testing it at are Premier League grounds which have the correct facilities. It's unlikely to ever be 'all or none' in the FA Cup or League Cup.

It's not different rules, it's the better application of the same rules/laws of the game in some of the fixtures, and not others.

There's really no controversy about that. As I said, it's unlikely to ever be all or none in the cups, and they can't implement it in the Premier League until it's properly tested.
