Nice to see

 

[Skitzo]

would have liked to have seen Benkovic involved and Justin start but can't complain about that team at all

 

[frankw]

That is a really strong side which shows intention for the cup competitions as a route into Europe

I love Brendan. He said he wants to win a cup and if we don't go through tonight there's little blame on him from me.

 

[Micky]

I'm guessing he's saving Iheanacho for the really really shit teams.

 

[homer]

Feck me, Brendan, I think I might actually love you

I've already claimed him. You can have Steve Dogsarse

Surprised we haven't gone with Ward and Justin but pleased to see the rest as is really.

would have liked to have seen Benkovic involved...

Morgan + Söyüncü is a potential Premier League partnership. It's important for them to get time together in a competitive game.

Be a bit embarrassing if we lose here now.

Hopefully that won't be the case though.
