[Jeff]

Evans heads Maddison's corner over the bar.

 

[Skitzo]

Are we down to 2 fit centre backs if Morgan duffed?

Benkovic has been playing the last few U23 games

 

[Micky]

Where's Iheanacho when you don't need him.

 

[Jeff]

Benkovic has been playing the last few U23 games

But he's not played 90 minutes.

 

[Jimmy Lad]

But he's not played 90 minutes.

If Evans or Soyuncu get crocked then we’re in a mess

Is Amartey fit?

 

[Jeff]

Ricardo down injured.

 

[Skitzo]

Is Amartey fit?

he played most of the pre season games so I would assume so, there is also Fuchs, and Wilf that can fill in in an emergency, not forgetting Pascanu, Hughes and Johnson are still here

 

[Lako42]

I seriously hope we aren't relying on penos with some of our soft lads

 

[popillius]

If Evans or Soyuncu get crocked then we’re in a mess

Which is why buying a CB should have been prioritised.

 

[Lako42]

Pascanu, Hughes and Johnson are absolute dross

 

[Skitzo]

Which is why buying a CB should have been prioritised.

we had 4 CB's last season we have 4 CBs this season

Pascanu and Hughes are recovering from injuries.

How many clubs have 5 recognised cB's in their first-team squad?

 

[Jeff]

Good save by Schmeichel

 

[Skitzo]

Pascanu and Hughes are recovering from injuries.

true but they are back playing so would be available

 

[Jimmy Lad]

Good save by Schmeichel

Let’s hope he carries it on for penalties

 

[Miles Away]

Fuchs and Wilf could play at the back in a complete disaster. Which won't happen as Benkovic will be up to speed soon based on his recovery.

 

[homer]

I've just put a few quid on us winning this competition - 16/1

The final is on 1st March . . .

You never feckin fail do you.....

 

[Skitzo]
