Stan 16,967 Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 Kick off 7.45pm. Live on Sky Sports. If this game is going to be as good as last week's league match then we're all in for a treat. Also VAR to be used in both legs of this fixture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cicero 5,168 Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 (edited) Need someone to help find Morata's shooting boots. Also I'd start Drinkwater for this one. Edited January 9, 2018 by Cicero Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asura 316 Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 Pretty much expect wenger to go all in for this one after the FA cup elimination. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
True Blue 955 Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 Don't think the 3-5-2 worked well last time, if we went 3-4-3 in the league we would probably create more chances as Arsenal's defense was pretty poor even tough weakened. We have a full team available, and i fully believe every result apart from a win would see us out of the League Cup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cicero 5,168 Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 3-5-2 was fine, just failed to put away our chances. 3-4-3 we are allowing Arsenal to walk all over us given these muppets turn into world class footballers against us.

Lucas 3,666 Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 I want Arsenal to lose for Arsenal's sake. It's for the greater good. I'm actually bored of the whole situation at their club and I'm not even a fan. I feel their frustration. They have to change things now. No more safety nets to stay in a job. He has to go. Simple. Chelsea 5-0 please. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chaaay AFC 357 Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 Our line-up. Not bad, but how in the fuck Iwobi is starting after his embarrassment in the news and his overall shite performances of late is baffling. Wenger seems to put him in when Ozil is out, but no way in hell is he anywhere near a suitable replacement. Wilshere captain tonight though which is nice to see.

Cicero 5,168 Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 Wow. We can't beat that we deserve fuck all this season. Team to face Arsenal: Courtois; Azpilicueta (c), Christensen, Rudiger; Moses, Kante, Fabregas, Drinkwater, Alonso; Hazard, Morata. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaaay AFC 357 Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 I think in typical Wenger fashion he might just pull something out the hat here. With what was available, I do think this is the best he could put out there apart from Iwobi. I think Walcott, or even Nelson should be well ahead in the pecking order. Totally get the Alexis benching, with all the rumours swirling I don't think we could risk him for this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stan 16,967 Posted January 10, 2018 Author Share Posted January 10, 2018 what is it with players not being able to put a cross in that beats the first man? Must be one of the smallest but most infuriating things to watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

6666 1,231 Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 Should've had a penalty there (if we're to go by what idiots think is a definite penalty regarding Hazard last week). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cicero 5,168 Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 Tactically, Arsenal are shutting us out pretty well. Mourinho should take notes. On our part, we've been pretty poor yet again in the final third. Should take out Moses, put Dave at RB and add Pedro in attack with a 4-3-3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LFCMadLad 2,070 Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 I don’t get the jiz over Hazard? He’s so inconsistent and that is probably the reason why none of the elite clubs ever take a serious look at him. Coutinho's gone, Salah is the current target of the biggest club in the world and Kane will probably be the next after that. All better players than Hazard. Hazard though never seems to generate any serious interest and you can see why when you monitor his performances over a full season. Very inconsistent. He’ll probably score a worldly now and win the game but my point still stands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
