Swansea League Cup

[Sion]

Presser on now, anyone got access to it?

Hoping for a strong team but with a key few rested.

Yesil start would be interesting.

I'd be tempted to try Wisdom at CB too, but doubt he'd get picked there ahead of Carra or Coates.

 

Pepe

Blank Coates Carragher Downing

Shelvey Henderson

Assaidi Blank Blank

Yesil

 

Doesn't look like it'll sell out either, which is poor considering the prices and how much people love to moan about ticket availability.

[Swipe]

Not on tv is it?

[Jonesy]

Not on tv is it?

 

nope. Chelsea v mancs and Norwich v Spurs are the only televised games for Wednesday according to wiziwig.tv . Sky own the broadcasting rights so for whatever reason these are the two games they have sold on the rest of the world.

 

If you have a dreambox set up via a card share....there might be a slim hope of picking the game up on a live feed as it will be being recorded somewhere for the highllights show on ITV.

[Swipe]

Darn.

 

Will have to go retro and watch the game on ceefax...

 

Dammit!

[New York Red]

Are these Blank guys brothers? They have to be. That's too much of a coincidence.

[Wunderbar]

Jones

Wisdom Coates Carragher Downing

Shelvey Henderson

Suso Sahin Assaidi

Pacheco

The only position that we suffer massively in is if Suarez is dropped. Otherwise we are relatively okay because when you break it down, we are realistically looking at the following;

 

2 CB's from Carra, Coates, Agger, Skrtel

2 FB's from Wisdom, Enrique, Johnson, Robinson

3 CM's from Henderson, Shelvey, Allen, Gerrard, Sahin

2 WF's from Sterling, Suso, Assaidi, Downing

1 CF from Suarez, Yesil, Morgan

 

All of the players above have had games this season with the exception really of the center forwards.

[fred milne]

FWIW, there is a rumour on RAWK that Henderson is at RB, Robinson at LB, Allen and Shelvey in the middle, Assaidi and Downing out wide and Cole playing behind Yesil.

[Falconhoof]

I hate seeing Cole play for us.

[Wunderbar]

If that is true, I fear for Hendo's future here. Shouldn't he be given the chance to play in his preferred position? AS it is chances are few and far between for Jordan and the one chance he gets is out of position.

[Swipe]

Kelly and Johnson are injured though. Makes sense to rest wisdom if he's the only fit RB.

[Earl Hafler]

FWIW, there is a rumour on RAWK that Henderson is at RB, Robinson at LB, Allen and Shelvey in the middle, Assaidi and Downing out wide and Cole playing behind Yesil.

 

Would rather see

 

-------Wisdom---Carra---Coates------

-----------Henderson----Allen------------

--Assaidi-------Pacheco-----Downing

---------------------Yesil---------------------

 

And play Robinson against Newcastle.

Pepe and Johnson out

[Clay Davis]

Jones

Wisdom Coates Carragher Downing

Shelvey Henderson

Suso Sahin Assaidi

Pacheco

Pacheco as the central forward should never be allowed to happen.

[David Hodgson]

FWIW, there is a rumour on RAWK that Henderson is at RB, Robinson at LB, Allen and Shelvey in the middle, Assaidi and Downing out wide and Cole playing behind Yesil.

 

So that's :

 

----------------------------Jones

 

Henderson---------carragher-------Coates----------Robinson

 

 

---------------------------Shelvey----------Allen

 

-------------------------------Cole

 

-Downing-------------------------------------------Assaidi

 

-------------------------------Yesil

 

 

 

I love that team.

[Sir Tokyo Sexwale]

I hate seeing Cole play for us.

I forgot about him

 

again

 

 

Maybe we should just cancel his contract & offer him 25kpw to just feckoff?

 

If that is true, I fear for Hendo's future here. Shouldn't he be given the chance to play in his preferred position? AS it is chances are few and far between for Jordan and the one chance he gets is out of position.

 

Nah, Hendo certainly isn't in the first 14-15 in BR's mind, but he's getting gametime. He did fine vs the s****, in fact I think the 3 subs all had good effect

[yellow jumper]

could be 3 at the back.

[Davvo]

could be 3 at the back.

 

Can't see Henderson or Robinson ever being part of a back 3. Or did you mean Cole

[CarraLegend]

Gonna be tough this. Games v us are like CL Finals now for them.

[DJS]

Gonna be tough this. Games v us are like CL Finals now for them.

 

Do you see them putting out full strength though?

 

Reckon both sides will field a second team and with it being at home, we should be reasonably comfortable IMO.

[Rory Fitzgerald]

City out

Arsenal 3 down

One of Chel / Utd out tomorrow

 

Send a team out to secure a QF spot tomorrow and the chances are we get a favourable draw and a shot at 2 games in January

Very close to, might rest Michu because he's on 4 yellows and have Vorm injured and Rangel banned but I reckon they'll go pretty much full strength.

[DJS]

Maybe they will. I was on the train of thought that, in europe, they dont take their top level cup competitions seriously, let alone any equivalents to the League Cup - so was thinking Laudrup might not be arsed and be more focused on the league. Time will tell though.
