Kick off time 16:30 GMT.

Don't care how, just get us a win and that trophy. Going to have to fight for this.

-----------------Trafford
Nunes--Khusanov--Dias--Ait Nouri
-------------Rodri---?????
Cherki-------????????------Doku
-----------------Haaland

Can Stones play DM with Rodri?

Have to be wary of set pieces.

Guehi is cup tied, wasn't registered before the semi finals.

If the players could make a meal of the shite Arsenal get away with that'd help too, in particular but not limited to time wasting on set pieces and that dive that Gabriel seems to do every time he's under a little bit of pressure.
 
First time going to Wembley thinking we will lose. Always been confident in the others even though we didn’t win a few but more hope than expectation in this one. We are in poor form and they are not.

I just can’t see us being solid enough and it will be heart in mouth time every time they get a corner or free kick.

Fingers crossed we pull one out of the hat for this.

Huge game for Trafford

Nunes
Nouri
Khusanov
Cherki
Rodri
Doku
Haaland

All nailed on I would imagine.

I’m sure Dias will also play even though I don’t want him to.

That leaves 2 spaces .

Bernado will play I think

Who then?

Semenyo/Foden

We have a fair chance in the FA Cup. We won’t win on Sunday Arsenal are too physical and our players will run off hiding

Sums up where we are, too many below par signings have culminated in the inconsistency.

Even Pep doesn't know our best 14

Hopefully Khus, Cherki and Doku have played themselves in, and the goal for Haaland may boost his confidence.

No Sav or Marmoush to start or it's done.

Yes those 3 should be nailed on.
 
  • Referee: Peter Banks.
  • Assistant Referees: Neil Davies and Steve Meredith.
  • Fourth Official: Tom Bramall.
  • Reserve Assistant Referee: Marc Perry.
  • VAR: John Brooks.
  • AVAR: Dan Robathan
Not the best ref to have, given that he failed to give us a penalty at home to Spurs and we had him for both games v Leeds and somehow we got 7 of the 8 cards issued despite them being dirty. Also was the ref who ruled out Spurs goal v Arsenal for Gabriels dive. Least its not Darren England though.

Just can't see beyond a comfortable Arsenal win. We cannot defend set pieces and v Arsenal, that's an issue. Wouldn't be surprised to concede 2 from corners. Also our attack is powder puff at best atm, and their defence will be too strong for us. Hope I am wrong but hard to see past them
 
Thought we showed a lot of fight and spirit tonight but we were done with that red card.

For me, it's clear we have to build the team around Cherki.

He is the heartbeat of everything creative for us and someone else needs to do his running for him if necessary.

Trafford, Nunes, Khus, Dias, Ait Nouri, Rodri, Nico, Cherki, Semenyo, Doku, Haaland

Let’s piss on their quadruple hopes at the first hurdle.

Probably right, but big Raz worries me at times. His first touch is not good enough and the opportunity is often gone.

Hopefully early days with us but at the top level you need to kill that ball or it's gone.
