Cup Games
« on: August 18, 2024, 10:34:00 AM »
I know this is a bit early, but I was thinking about the cup games mainly domestic cup competitions

I don’t think Unai will see them as a priority, and will probably rotate and play a weaker type team
The difference is we haven’t got a weaker team now,
the days of Augustinsson, Dendoncker and Olsen have gone
Most of our second string are good enough to be first string

I can see us going deep,
and let’s face it winning anything is what we’ve dreamt of for so long

Yeah, I think we'll see the benefit of this transfer window come the cup games. It all depends on how we're doing in the CL and injuries/suspensions, but we've got much better rotation options this year.

Hopefully by the time the FA Cup starts we'll have

Martinez                  Gaucci

Cash                         Nedeljkovic
Konsa                       Carlos
Pau                           Mings
Digne                        Maatsen

Rogers                      Ramsey
McGinn                     Barkley
Onana                       Jaden
Tielemans                Barrenechea
Bailey                        Iling-Junior

Watkins                    Duran

Or, some combination of those lineups, and possibly some out, some in still this window.
