If Kos-Mert has to play then 1 of them must be rested against Bayern. I might also give Jenks a chance. My team: Fab Jenk BFG Kos/Verm Gibbs Oxo Flamini Rozza Gnabry Pod/Bendy Santi/Pod
Well then if not he should play vs. Bayern. I don't really care much for the CL this year since we have bigger priorities and we need to keep the BFG-Kos partnership fresh and fit.

Imagine if this went to replay. **** me, that really would be the last thing we would need (another visit to Anfield). but at the same time this is probably our best chance to win something. Tricky one.
Sacrifice the Bayern game if we have to. I doubt we can take them over 2 legs even at full strength. But we shouldn't go and roll over and die for them. If our fringe A-Squad can hold Bayern or beat them yay. If not meh. FA and Prem are priorities.
I'd play a strong team and i think Liverpool will as well, maybe a couple of fringe players will get a game but i expect us to be fairly near to full strength. Normally i'd expect to see us play all our second string but given the result against them the other day i can see us playing a stronger team than usual.
We'll play our strongest team, injuries aside. Not much else to play for this season, so we can afford to put a strong team out each week. I'm surprised to see some of you guys wanting a strong team though, even at the expense of the CL. Bayern are tough, but surely you might as well go all out for it? Even Chavski managed to fluke their way to winning it and we managed somehow in 2005 with plenty of average players against a top Milan team. Cup games are never decided. If you play your best team against us, I think it'll be close and could go either way. Home advantage might well play a part. If Arsene lets the cup game slide for a chance at the bigger prizes, we should win it. It'll be a good game either way though
I think the FA cup is our best chance of a trophy this season. My team would be: Fabianski Gibbs Mert Kos Jenkinson Flamini Wilshere OXO Rosicky Podolski Bendy Ozil needs a rest, so does Cazorla. On the other hand, I'm not simply putting Bendy ahead of Giroud to rest Giroud, but Giroud based on his last performances, doesn't merit a start, and that's why he should be on the bench with Bendtner starting as our main attacker. Ozil-Cazorla can come on if needed, with those 2, and Arteta-Gnabry on the bench, it will be a strong bench should reinforcements be needed.
Nah, I'd play Mert left, Gibbs CB, jenkinson as midfield holder, flamini right back, Bendtner as our number 10, and wilshere as our striker.
Surprise factor. I like it. We should play Chez as forward too. HEre he can do some tricks while shooting
We will field a strong side, we don't play another game for a week afterwards and we don't have Europe to worry about.
