As I expect Chelsea to pick a strong XI and we’ll need to rotate a lot, I think I’d rather this wasn’t on tv!


Watch them getting kicked out by a Gedson Hattrick.


Shame I can not give myself an Optimistic rating.

Concerned we’ll probably have to face Chelsea as this will be a tough game!

Would rather have played them in a later round when fixtures not so congested and having to rotate squad so much.

We really have been stitched up with these fixtures, chelski should be okay given the obscene number of players they have.

League cup would have been something I reckon Mourinho would really be pushing to win too.

ok their shirt sponsor they are still associated with them just like Arsenal are with the emirates

Their shirt sponsor is 3. Carabao are their drinks sponsor, It’s not on quite the same level as Emirates & Arsenal.

Carabao also used to sponsor their training kit (similar to how DHL did at Manchester United), not sure if still the case

Am I in a minority in hoping we put a complete second string against Chelsea because two days later is the europa match?
It would not be common sense to play the full Monty in both games . what with Man Unt next in line .

I think Mou will go 50/50 strength in each. I can't see anyone who starts tomorrow starting on Tuesday, and likewise between Tuesday and Thursday. One things for certain, we absolutely must go full strength next Sunday.

I agree - League Cup win is worth, what, £1m? Europa League run and win is worth £25m + CL qualification. I get it's Chelsea and losing to them is never nice but this is a ridiculous schedule and we can't afford to spread ourselves too thin.

Anyone who's due to start in Europa shouldn't be in the starting 11, but anyone who isn't involved or will start on the bench in Europa should play, should still be a decent team.

Luckily Ch£l$ki are in a bit of a pickle at the moment, so even with a 2nd string we should be able to give them a game at home. And win on pens! :LOL:
