Don't understand why Suso isn't starting in a central midfield role tonight.  It's his best position, by far, and he would boss the game with Allen alongside.

He won't be tired from the weekend, only played a half.

Why rest Suso just to start him in a position that doesn't suit his strengths?

Assuming BR wants the Shelvy steel in there.

I never single out players for criticism - but there's no need tonight, because we were uniformly awful.

Nice to see them playing the lad they signed from FC Twente, he's not amazing so expect him to get a rollocking tonight.

It sure appears to be the case.

Not got a problem with that.

Shelvey hasn't been this goalscoring midfielder BR hope for as yet. So lets try Cole there.

I would have put Henderson in the middle and kept Joe Cole in oblivion. A Messaidi hat-trick would be very nice tonight.

These makeshift sides often do a lot better than expected. Our display against WBA in the last round is an example of that. Hope Cole can get his foot on the ball tonight and show some real quality - had enough second chances now.

Pretty random lineup. Could be a few goals for both teams in this game. Atleast we have a strong bench I guess. Come on lads!!

3 so far? More than any other midfielder? Plus he's been suspended for 3 games. Bit harsh that.
Let us never forget Rafael Benitez and what he did for us. A fighter full of guts and passion. A gentleman full of class and dignity. A football manager full of intelligence and pure genius. A Legend.
Adios Rafa, buena suerte.

Understandable team after the matches we have had, but a very strong bench, hopefully we won't need them!
