I wasn't too far off, makes sense to see LDF there as he was in that LCB spot v Palace when he came on. Looking forward to this one!
Thanks for doing this week in, week out, Serbian Lad
Kusi-Asare?
No JKA. Poor kid not even getting minutes in the Carbao now. Maybe he will get a loan move after all - if he's not even on the bench for this game but also not playing in the u21s where does that leave him?

My thoughts too
I can understand Muniz starting but quite why JKA isn't on the bench is totally beyond me.
Might be on teh bench Sunday instead of Muniss
Wait..no Berge at all?
I was hoping he'd come in for Charles after half. I want Charles getting minutes on Sunday.
On paper thats not a bad forward line
Charles needs to start at the weekend so hope he gets subbed today.
Hmm, No JKA at all is interesting, maybe with the short break of games, Muniz gets the nod here, and JKA will be the forward sub against Sunderland?
Other than that, pretty much as expected for a cup game. Hopefully some of the bench players who get to start here get good minutes in the legs, and bang in a few goals for some confidence. ::scarf::
I'd rather have seen Zepa start ahead of Bobb

Yeah, £100m worth of signings ... including add-ons 😉
This starting line-up just goes to show how far we have come as a club. I remember when we first got into the PL we had no where near the depth that we have now.
I think this line-up could probably good enough to stay in the PL (if they all worked to their peak game in and game out)
Have to assume JKA is injured becauses he trains with the first team daily so there's no reason to not have him in the team if he's not fit, unless he's about to go out on loan.
Is there a matchday thread for this one?
