If Agger is genuinly fit we should bring him in. I think Coutinho could do with being rested to. But is this really a game we can play with out him? -----------Ming---------------- Flafu--Skrtel--Agger--R.Carsokhos ----------Gerrard-------------- ---Henderson---Allen----------- -Suarez-------------Moses----- ----------Sturridge-------------
Deep down, this is the only trophy Arsenal can win this year. As much as I'd like to think AW would therefore pump the players up for this all I can predict is the same placid slow passing where we start to play a bit better around the 70 minute mark, and we then make one substitution in the 80th minute which makes no difference. We will score no more than 2 goals. I can't see us conceding more than 2. Last thing either of us want is a replay. So that almost guarantees a 1-1 or 2-2 draw.
Love that bit If you think its the only trophy that they can win that surely the same logic must apply to us. The only real difference is the CL.
I don't mind a replay. We have little else in midweek action. And it would be good to see if we can do it again.
We've lost to them at The Emirates and battered them at Anfield so I'd definitely take a draw if offered right now.
NO NO NO NO we have to play Toure and Cissokho - it's the only way we can ensure that we give the others a chance.
True. But if you score more than 2 at the Emirates I'll be very surprised. Chelsea, United, Liverpool, Spurs and Everton have all come here and we've only conceded one goal.
We put 4 past you in 20 minutes! I'm sure we could score more than 2 at your place if we put our minds to it! After all you should have conceded 2 to a mid-table side last night!
Impossible match to predict. Arsenal know what to expect from us- and may want revenge... but that itself could be their undoing.
And we did that at yours. OH NO, I forget, it was your scintillating play that made us look poor, not the other way around
I was talking about the team setup. Going to The Emirates with three CBs and two up top was crazy, we struggled against Oldham playing that system FFS. You guys turned up with your usual "solid" system that all your players are familiar with and got outplayed
Yup yup... when you beat us it's down to your great play. When we beat you it's down to your poor setup.
Feel free to read the media, you'll find they all claim the opposite and that it was Arsenal playing poor, way to fall in line Your defence was the same players that you guys had bragged about having the best defensive record in the league. Our pace, movement and finishing destroyed them in the opening twenty minutes, get over it.
