Team for Everton (H) - League Cup

[PistolPete]

We've got a big squad and rotating it will be key to keeping players happy. However, we still want to progress and keep some continuity.

Bond

Norwood
Piazon
John
Liburd


RESTED:

Gunter
Quinn
Vydra

[Platypuss]

Is Rio starting or on the bench?

[Johann]

HRK to start ! joke , yes ?

[Sanguine]

Same team as at the weekend.

[RoyalRuss86]

Clarke won't be making that many changes, not a chance, he will be taking this cup very seriously and Everton are on a good run of form and scoring lots of goals! Back four will remain the same, possibly Al Habsi to come in but both keepers are terrible so that doesn't matter too much.

Vydra will play and possibly Blackman, however I didn't go to Bristol but I hear that he was not playing to his best after his goal his head went down and wasn't doing what he had been the weeks prior, so maybe a rest for him would be good.

I am looking forward to seeing the likes of Hurtado and Piazon given a chance so maybe they will come in. I am excited either way!

3-1 Reading

[Only one Trevor Morley]

Vydra can't play as he is cup tied....

I think we'll see piazon, Fernandez and hurtado all start.....

That is a shame, he will be missed! However looking forward to seeing some of the newbies!

Nope - he said in his post-match interview at the weekend "i'm telling the supporters now, i will be making a lot of changes for Tuesday night, we've got a big squad and i intend to use them"

What are your thoughts on this then? Appreciate we have more depth than ever before but surely integrating a few at a time rather than an overhaul for a 1 off game against an inform Premier league side is madness?

He is however paid a lot more than me to make these decisions......

I'm sure Everton will be doing the same thing

tbh the players he will bring in, will probably only be those that have been on the bench so far this season anyway...

That being said I would like to see Hurtado given a chance, hoping he will be the Sanchez of the championship, looks like him anyway

Subs
Bond

Obita
Ferdinand (if fit)
Norwood
Blackman

Hopefully Blackman starts ahead of HRK but think Clarke will go with Hal

[Sanguine]

I'm sure Everton will be doing the same thing

01 Robles
38 Pennington (Barkley - 45' )
05 Stones
06 Jagielka
08 Oviedo
17 Besic
15 Cleverley
07 McGeady (Deulofeu - 45' )
14 Naismith
11 Mirallas (McCarthy - 110' )
10 Lukaku

As good as a first-team at Barnsley in the last round.

[Winchester Royal]

I'll be happy to see the likes of John, Hurtado and Piazon get a run out. With Vydra cup-tied and Sa suspended, it's a chance to see what creativity they can bring to the side and option we can use in the league.

I'm really not sure how the loan system works; is there a limit for loanee's in a match day squad? There's 5 loanee's in that starting 11 alone

Of which only 4 of them ^ started at the weekend...

But i'm not saying the team they put out won't be full of Premier League quality...

We have six loanees and 5 in a matchday squad is the limit.
As Vydra is cup-tied we are safe.

Taylor is either injured or recovering so can't see him starting.
Norwood is/will be suspended.
