We have to push for every trophy. Be disappointed even with a second team if we go out.

Should be a similar team that played BATE but as Giroud and Pedro are doubts, can see Morata and Moses/CHO starting, preferably CHO.

Whats up with giroud?

Will be a good atmosphere tonight for a league cup early round game. Gotta get the win.
Liverpool, utd already out. Watford out. One of spurs or west ham out tonight.

He was taken off due to a knock on weekendC hope he’s fit to play

Zola mentioned in the presser that he was a slight concern

Hope both Tomori and Mount play tonight p, they've be superb for us, I'm sure along with Frank are buzzing for tonight.

Mason is adored by Rams fans but for me Tomori for his age is a joy to watch, reads the game so well and for a CB has pace to burn, if he has a chink in his armour it's that he is suspect under the high ball but I'm sure with more game time and experience that will improve.

but then he didn't cost £60 feckin million...so he's not the biggest concern obviously

That said Morata has found the net twice in two games..so who knows he might have turned a corner

do you nick...we usually bring on Giroud as a last resort...this is the concern, & apart from the odd worldy from him, (not for us yet) he's a generally spent force now

But like I say, - he cost peanuts..so

Whether Giroud's fit or not starting Morata is very tempting for this game. I would've gone for my go-to false 9 experiment here, probably with RLC, but Morata's Burnley performance was very good (not just his goal), he needs to generate some kind of momentum. Serves no purpose giving up on him till the transfer window opens.

Elsewhere standard Europa line up maybe with Kante in midfield. I dunno much about Lampard's Derby but would just add energy against good opposition who are used to the grind of a punishing league.

Thought Mason Mount was a doubt due to injury. Regardless hope he plays as well. Would be a better test than Derby's prior LC opponents.

soccer?lol.
