acrossthepond 866 Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 Maybe I have Parkyitis but I feel strangely optimistic about this one. We'll probably lose but I feel that I can expect something marginally better than the usual NUFC gutless performance against a top three/four club.

TicTacWoe 0 Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 (edited) I dont understand people dismissing this cup, its not like theres that many extra games to play, its only two legged ties in the semis IIRC so it would be only 4 extra games after Chelsea to get to the final. Â A- It's our only hope of winning anything for a long time B- It's a relatively easy route into Europe as even getting to the final and losing would do if we play one of the CL teams. C- Blackburn, Boro, Lecister etc have won it in recent(ish) years so if we can get past an understrength Chelsea I dont see why we couldnt have a go too tbh.

Nobby 0 Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 (edited) The team I hope we play tonight: Soderberg R.Taylor Campbell Kadar Ferguson Ranger Smith Vuckic Gutierrez Lovenkrands Ameobi Subs: Krul, Simpson, Guthrie, Ben Arfa, Best.  Rest: Williamson Coloccini Enrique Routledge Tiote Barton Nolan Carroll Suspended: Xisco Perch Injured: Harper S.Taylor Gosling Loan: Forster  No point in getting injuries like Gyan's last night Stoke on Sunday is a much bigger game Edited September 22, 2010 by Nobby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christmas Tree 4669 Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 I dont understand people dismissing this cup, its not like theres that many extra games to play, its only two legged ties in the semis IIRC so it would be only 4 extra games after Chelsea to get to the final. A- It's our only hope of winning anything for a long time B- It's a relatively easy route into Europe as even getting to the final and losing would do if we play one of the CL teams. C- Blackburn, Boro, Lecister etc have won it in recent(ish) years so if we can get past an understrength Chelsea I dont see why we couldnt have a go too tbh.   I must admit it pisses me off that everyone, fans and club personnel give up on this competition before its even started. Something needs to be done to either make it extremely worthwhile, make clubs put out their strongest team or scrap it all together.  I absolutely hate our games that involve "playing the kids".  To me a game is a game and if we dont win I dont like it.  As said above its not a lot of extra games to get to the final. We are probably playing a lot less games than last season anyway.  I would rather go out to win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are probably playing a lot less games than last season anyway.  I would rather go out to win.  I dont mind us playing the kids if we have a realistic chance of winning with them against a lower league team for instance, but in a game against Chelsea who will probably field a weakened team, if we play our strongest 11 (possibly including one or two of the best youngsters, eg Vuckic) we could actually go out and win but if we play a full team of kids there's little hope.  It's madness that we write off the competition, it's all well and good for the likes of Chelsea/Arsenal(who actually fielded a pretty strong team last night) as their kids will beat most first team squads anyway.

Inglez 0 Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 Despite them playing youngsters, I can still see them beating our squad tonight. Â Hopefully i'm proved wrong mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fish 10674 Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 I like that line up, if at 60 minutes we're level or winning by a goal, bring on the more experienced/better players to shore up the result. Certainly Tiote and Barton. If however we're 3-0 down before half time, we're not risking anybody and we can bring on a couple of others to ease players who're lacking match fitness into the season.
