Anyone know what channel Wednesday's cup match will be on? I'm assuming BeIn Sports.

Yes but not till after midnight; I'm recording and gonna watch tomorrow after work.

I think I'm just going to watch a stream and if the quality is bad then I'll DVR it tonight too.

We're throwing out a pretty strong lineup. Granted it's our 2nd 11 but there's still Cahill, Schurrle & Oscar.

I was able to watch it live on BeIn's website through my cable provider. I won't spoil it for anyone who's planning to tape the replay but

Spoiler

the 1st half was vintage FIFA. We had like 16 shots/6 on target with 1 goal. They had 1 shot/1 on target for 1 goal, lol

Also, it was cool to see some of the Chelsea kids running around for M'borough. Blackmon regrouped after that atrocious 1st goal. Bamfordinho struck again and Omeruo was solid. Pretty much made Lambert a non-factor.

Oscar has been my MOTM for the last 2. His technique goes w/o saying but he finds space and lately he's been showing off the stepovers. A sign of confidence IMO.

Legitimately think Jose has coached Shirley to be MORE selfish than he already was, I like it.

I have a feeling Jose will go somewhat conservative vs Arsenal meaning Schurrle will be on the bench in favor of the harder-working Willian. With the way Andre has been finishing I'm perfectly OK with this. He was PITIFUL on Tuesday vs Sporting. In defense, everyone had a poor day in front of net. We could have put that one to bed within the first 20 mins.

Definitely agree

Although, to be fair, Rui Patricio had a freaking incredible game.

Also think you are probably right about Willian. What I'd honestly love to see, because I think it would work well specifically against Arsenal, is Bane in the midfield with Fabregas and Matic.
