So back to London for a Milk Cup QF against a resurgent Arsenal . I assume our line up will be “interesting” with people like Morton ,N Phillips starting and if fit Minamino and Origi though the latter seems very unlikely . Also expect to see the likes of Jones , N Williams , AOC playing some part .

Apart from Smith - Rowe and Holding and Nketiah ( if he has negative test results ) no real idea what team Arteta will send out







PL 12-6-2

CL 6-0-0

LC 3-0-0

 

I think Arsenal will go all out against whatever crap team we put together. Might be over by the end of the first tie

No Alisson, Matip and Firmino with Covid.
No Keita, Mane and Salah with AFCON
No Thiago and any others with injury?

 

wouldn't surprise me as they have a pretty much full squad to pick from afaik but you never know after all it is only Arsenal

 

They looked very good against City, should have won

 

Lacks a poll...

 

Op is wrong, it's a semi final. I'll let the milk cup reference slide

 

I would expect us to go sort of strong first leg due to being away.

First off I've lost count on robbo. I think he still suspended for this. If not I would start him and tsimikas in fa Cup, but let's assume it's tsimiaks.

Kelleher.. no choice and no fears either. Very good today.
Trent gomez vvd tsimikas... note that we had one game off and this is not unreasonable
Ox fabinho morton.. no options here
Gordan Jota Jones seriously struggling here.

Could go 4231 with that line up either.

 

Robbo is available again now. He was sent off against Spurs and missed Leicester twice and Chelsea today.

Trent needs a rest.

 

Really don't care until/if we get to the final.

Gooners and Arteta will be all out to win this, perhaps we should take it seriously seeing as the league challenge is slipping away at the moment.

 

I don't care too much either but we may as well go for the win. Only one extra game at this stage (already committed to the SF matches)

 

Momentum is crucial here.

Some soft lads (ahem) are making out this is a total.disaster and we are falling apart rapidly and talking about 5th or worse.

We want to stay in this tie here and get it back to anfield for a big go.

 

It should still be called the Milk cup imo.


I'll be disappointed if we don't get four goals. I'm frequently disappointed these days though.

 

You are right both trent and vvd were wrung put rags yesterday, they tried their best but they really did look all out

 

I'm scared ...

Been away for a week ... miss much?

 

Picking up on last game

Kelleher
Bradley gomez Koumetio tsimikas
Henderson morton ox
Williams firmino minamino

We still tried to play 433 no matter what.

Our issue for l'arse is complete lack of forwards.

 

VVD and Trent will get a rest, as will most of the first team.

 

Sex, drugs and rock and roll...

... And that was just Sucky

 

FFS

 

We will lose both legs, but I am more confident of a win against Shrewsbury in the FA Cup.
