We've still go Muniesa, Wilson, Tex & Cameron. Wilson played in the internationals so is unlikely to play tomorrow. It'll probably be Geoff Muni Tex Bardsley. I'm actually really scared we're going to get lose badly tomorrow in front of the sky cameras. Yeah. We're going to be stretched massively if we don't play any internationals. As you say, does actally look like Bardsley at left-back ,which would necessitate Cameron at RB. Then who alongside Sidwell?

We need another centre half if Shawcross has back trouble already.
He'll end up having surgery at this rate, and then we are fcuked.

God this competition seems even more pointless, not going to do our reputation any good, putting out a reserve side, that's likely to get thrashed. I'm sure losing badly will tempt all those Asian fans to follow us.

Definitely concerning that this back issue is still there after a summer of rest.
Hughes tries to sound ultra-confident on it, but he must be shitting it

Ryan's back problems are a real worry. I hate to be the biscuit of doom here but I said at the very start that this was a huge problem. Back problems do not go away on their own and they need intervention. When you do that you are in the lap of the gods. Tiger Woods....Andy Murray. Both had similar problems, both had surgery and both had very different outcomes.

If none of the internationals play: Haugaard Geoff Muni Tex Bardsley Sidwell Shenton Odemwingie Ireland No idea Joselu Is MVG available? Well the general consensus from Hughes' interviews suggests we won't be playing the internationals or the trio of new signings. But that team looks really poor. We'd need to make some subs during the game too but there's no one else available to play apart from that starting eleven, is there? (apart from goalkeepers) Perhaps Hughes will be forced to play some of the internationals/new signings.

And MVG presumably has had some kind of early pre-season at Chelsea? Not much fun seeing a third choice XI play though.

Is the whole of their squad available? I know Lukaku and Mirallas played against Swindon so that suggests their international players are all available? Not good.

It's a knockout game so we shouldn't be going in with a weak team.
I can only assume that Hughes is so confident of beating Everton that he wants to save the others for the final.

If we don't win this trophy, serious questions need to be asked. Win in Singapore Win in Cologne Win one of League Cup/FA Cup. Finish 9th or above with record Premier League points total. Nothing else is acceptable.......... Would be nice to have 2 or 3 more trophies.

I think we will play some internationals due to the injuries, Wilson will definitely play i think, maybe Whelan and Walters or Arnie to.
Haugaard
Bardsley Cameron Muni Wilson
Whelan Sidwell
Odem Ireland Arnie/Walters
Joselu

Well, since I'm going to be sneaking out of work to watch this game we'd better fucking win!!! Not that I'll do anything if we lose. I just like making empty threats.

I've booked the day off I'm working from home just to watch it, so I'll be a bit pissed off. That said, if I'd traveled to Singapore just to catch this one I'd be a bit more pissed off.

With no Ryan and Wolly through injury, the team for the first game, if none of the internationals and latest trio to sign play, could be incredibly weak. This is the best I could pick:
Haugaard
Bardsley Cameron Teixeira Muniesa
Sidwell Shenton
Odemwingie Ireland Joselu
Crouch
By Saturday, it could look far better:
Butland
Johnson Shawcross/Wollscheid Muniesa Wilson
Whelan Van Ginkel
Walters Adam Arnautovic
Diouf

This. This is the reason it's actually worth* paying £70 a month or whatever to sky. Well done, sir. Hopefully when they use you in their promotional literature they'll give you a nod. (Failing sky+, I reckon it'll probably be knocking about as a torrent somewhere by mid afternoon, so if you avoid the score, etc, you might be able to download and then watch it from t' piratebay or kat or something.)
