Post by: Toronto Villa on September 29, 2020, 01:50:14 PM
We go again. Expect a good number of changes with Liverpool up on Sunday -  maybe similar to the one vs Bristol City

Steer
Elmo
Taylor
Guilbert
Hause
Lansbury
Nakamba
Ramsey
Traore
AEG
Davis

Strong subs bench

I’ll go 3-1 to us - Bert, Davis and Ramsey

Blimey, another game this week?  I'm losing track.  Anyway, we'll win.

I imagine he'll go the same as Bristol City seeing as it worked. Hopefully Stoke play their reserves too. I hope, should we get through, we take the quarter finals more seriously but a lot of football to be played before then. It might have a negative impact on our title push.

Not on TV, but available online for a tenner

Did anyone watch the Bristol City game via this service ?

What was the quality like ?

I watched and thought it was fine. Not as many cameras as Sky but decent coverage and for once I wasn't constantly telling the commentator to shut up. Worth a tenner.

Was the broadcast up to date?  As in was you getting goal alerts before you saw them on screen?

Yes, I saw the goals before the club alerted me.

Thanks. I wasn’t keen on spending a tenner on a stream that lagged a few mins.

Same team as Bristol I’d say. Can’t see anyone who played yesterday being involved, with Liverpool on Sunday.
Michael O’Neils a decent manager, I think if they play a strong team they’ll give our reserves a game, 2-1 villa.

It will be great to see Chester. I think he's great. Still hope he has a 'mare, though.

I think we'll need a bit more steel than our second string side to get past this lot.

Let's not forget they've already dumped a fairly strong wolves side out. If they decide to mix in the likes of Chester, Fletcher, McClean, Obi Mikel, Ince, Batth and Butland we might have problems - especially if they nick a goal.

The one we really need to watch out for is Kevin Campbell's son Tyrese. I can see him terrorising Hause and Taylor all game.

I reckon 0-2, I hope it's the same team that started the last cup game.

Penalties. Whoever progresses, eventually wins the competition before embarking on a European Odyssey visiting the more obscure outposts of the empire culminating in finally qualifying for round 1 of the Europa league in 2025.

I hope we can go one better in this competition. It's a long time since we played in Europe and it's very unlikely we can make it via the league or the FA Cup.

We had a favourable draw last year (apart from the semi) and we have had a favourable one thus far this year.

Chester didn't feature in either of their squads for the last 2 rounds, so he may well not play if they save him for league action.

Could be wrong but I'm sure I read on here the other day the League Cup winners won't be given an Euro Cup spot or have to enter through some Mickey Mouse competition?

Why can't we win the FA Cup? It's about time we gave it a go  ???

Stoke have won three and drawn four of their last seven games at Villa Park. 3-1 Villa tomorrow night though.

2-0 to Villa and hopefully the strong bench isn't utilised unduly.

I watched the Bristol City game on iplay
What’s iplay?   I only have a Roku stick to get content into my TV.  So was wonder if the CarabooLive could be streamed on a Roku.  Can’t seem to find answer.

I'm pretty sure you should be able to stream to a Roku stick if you watch the game on a browser page?

The coverage for the match was alright, but it wouldn't have hurt to have some half time analysis surely?

Do you possess a time machine? We haven't even kicked off yet. What was the final score?
