Bournemouth (A) - EFL Cup 4th Rnd, Wed 1st Nov 2023 (7:45pm)

[Scott_M]

I know it’s the same date / week every year, our fixtures around the Quater are annoying…

 

 

…I’m looking forward to it already, it could be a great couple of weeks, just that it’s a super busy schedule and feel we’ll prioritise the league games over WHU (which, IMO, is right). 
 

Hopefully we do our job in the EL and can start Chambers, Scanlon, Doak, McConnell, Clarke, Quansah etc v LASK & Union SG

I reckon we’ll play a strong side against West Ham at this stage. Similar to last night with 2 or 3 more of our main XI.

Anyway, I’m looking forward to us winning the penalty shoot out v Chelsea at Wembley already.

This was our line up v Leicester at the same stage…

Hope Quansah continues to get minutes this season. Looks a real talent.

Be absolutely beautiful if we get through and then get Port Vale over 2 legs. 

Would be one for the EvAnon conspiracy theorists.

We had a more challenging European competition then though, and we’ve a superior squad this time around.

 

Also, after a trophy-less year, Klopp will see how close this silverware already is.

Another way of looking at it is that once we get back from the short hop to Belgium on the night of the 14th, we don't have to leave the North West until after New Year. Comes to something when I am having to tell you to be more optimistic, Scott.

And the 3 toughest games are at night at Anfield.

Burnley though, that's a completely different world.

I think palace away will be in London. Arsenal and West ham, agree

Used to have relatives in Accrington, and one of them said its main function was to give Burnley and Blackburn lads somewhere to fight each other at the weekend.

We’ll see, I hope you’re right. We should be winning this from here.

You misunderstood me, I’m not pessimistic about it, I’m looking forward to it, it’s exciting, we could be flying by then - I’m just pointing out it’s a hectic schedule. 

[sh#t waffle]

That's Scott for you, always got to find some chips to piss on.

No idea, but makes sense I suppose, and just put training back an hour or two this morning.

I saw a clip somewhere where Klopp was saying about getting the coach back. He was saying to someone (journos?) ‘Anyone want to join us? We have food and TV!’
