Worryingly on Physio Rooms they've got Gibbs out injured as well

Presumably half your squad is jealous of the break the other had and thinks it's their turn?http://www.physioroom.com/news/english_premier_league/epl_injury_table.php#c1

I wouldn't be surprised lol!
At this rate it'll just be Sanchez and Cech on their own playing... and maybe that'll be enough!
I think players who definitely need to be rested, or rather not risked, are Ramsey, Bellerin, Monreal, Ozil, and Giroud.
With Gabriel out, it leaves a tricky situation, but I'd still much rather we not play Bellerin, and give a youngster a chance at RB, we have a huge week of games coming up after Hull, with Barca-United and a midweek game VS Swansea before playing away to Spurs. So we're going to have to rotate as much as possible.
We could even play Coq at RB if needed.

Hull City beat Burnley 3-0 and they also beat Leicester in the League Cup this season.
Just hope you show us the usual disrespect that we have become accustomed to from arsenal.
I think that's a little unfair - I don't think we've shown you any disrespect in the last two games, they've both been tough games.
Doesn't change the fact though that players need to be rested somewhere or they will break, or at the very least start playing poorly/off form. It's how we manage the squad against all of the tough teams we've got coming up, including Hull.

Wenger said Ospina would definitely start, that Gab is out for a week (hopefully no more), that Kos should be fit to play and that Welbeck could start.
Nature of the beast, you cant play your full team all the time and up and coming players or squad players like elneny and gibbs need games as well
We're expecting eleven changes tomorrow, Bruce is only really interested in promotion this season, though our current second string are the best we've ever had and as has already been mentioned, they knocked Leicester out of the League Cup.
I don't mind rotation at all.
But I also then resent the building up of the fa cup into something incredible and magical when it isn't.
Personally I really like it and think most teams see it as something really good, particularly those teams outside the top flight/top of the championship who get the chance to test themselves against the biggest teams in the land. It's a nice change from playing the same teams all the time to get the chance to go to play a club we don't usually play and experience the passion their fans have for the game.
I don't think you read my post properly. My post was giving your team respect - hence why I said I wanted to see a relatively strong team put out.
Meh. Half the 'biggest teams in the land' field B teams in the early rounds. It is low(est) priority for any team chasing league glory, European glory, CL qualification or prem promotion.
I meant the supporters more then the club, although there is an air about your club bordering on arrogance. When we beat you 2-1 at your place in 2008 your fans, although not all, showed a bit of class, applauding our team off the pitch and I even had Arsenal coming up to us after the game and congratulating us. It changed from then on.
I know it's not everyone but after the Cup Final in particular my family were subject to some particularly nasty showboating from some of your more gobbier types on the Tube.
It all could have turned very nasty.
Anyhow good luck tomorrow and may the best team win. Hope no-one notices the referee.
And as you know of course, the behaviour of some fans on the tube is a direct representation of how all arsenal fans behave. And those on this forum are also in direct control of their behaviour.
I met an arrogant and rude woman last week... It's such a shame all women nowadays are getting arrogant.
