EFL Cup 2016/17

[stokeriño]

Leicester: Zieler, Simpson, Morgan (c), Wasilewski, Chilwell, Gray, King, Drinkwater, Schlupp, Okazaki, Musa
Subs: Hamer, Benalouane, Amartey, Kapustka, Mahrez, Vardy, Ulloa

Chelsea: Begovic, Azpilicueta, Cahill (c), Luiz, Alonso, Moses, Fabregas, Matic, Pedro, Loftus-Cheek, Batshuayi
Subs: Courtois, Aina, Chalobah, Kante, Willian, Hazard, Costa

I hope that RLC has spent the last month learning not to be completely anonymous in this shadow-striker role. :/

Also, lol a two man midfield with Matic as the only defensive player (2014 seems so long ago...).

[Lineker]

Tyrone Mings makes his first Bournemouth appearance in over a year.

[stokeriño]

Pedro a couple of inches offside for that goal. Damn it.

Edit: 1-0. Useless, the lot of you.

[Baddar]

Okazaki, goal!

I love how Cahill was all "calm, calm" then. Anything but, mate. Begovic shit himself.

[stokeriño]

Much as I enjoy the Batshuayi and RLC pairing for its 'Batman and Ruben' moniker, I don't for the life of me expect many goals out of it at the best of times.

[Benji]

Shinji Sick of hearing our fans talking him down with Musa and Slimani in the club now. He still has plenty of a role to play, so hopefully that shuts them up for a while.

Really? I always considered him to be decent as cover.

We have to entertain ourselves somehow.

He is solid, probably one of the best team players we have, not at all selfish and plays off Vardy really well. People just see expensive and shiny new toys and think they are better and that he has no role.

[FLiam]

Granit Xhaka has only gone and scored exactly the same goal as he did on Saturday again.

Unbelievable stuff.

[stokeriño]

Deja fucking vu.

[Lineker]

2-0!

No cupset tonight!

[Benji]

Well if the first didn't shut up his doubters then the second will. Three players with braces in three games in a row in three competitions

[MDK]

No goal line tech in the EFL Cup? Bit unfair on poor old Chelsea.

He does look a bit like the bad camp commander in WWII films.

[Baddar]

Naismith has given Norwich the lead at Goodison, because of course.

[stokeriño]

Difficult to see this going any other way than the Liverpool match: no distinguishable change at the break and then maybe we fluke a goal at some point, but the lead never at risk.

Edit: I really hope I jinxed that.

[Lineker]

...cupset on?

[TCO]

The guy they have playing in a Gouffran mask scored another worldie of a volley tonight.

He's in a serious run of form!

 

[stokeriño]

DAVE!
