City are used to playing finals, used to playing at Wembley. We aren't. Regardless of formations and starting XIs that is probably the biggest advantage you have straight off the bat.

But also as much as Timber and Odegaard are big misses, it seems Arteta will start Arrizubalaga on Sunday. Raya is a top keeper. Arrizubalaga is shite.

The fun will start if Legohead tries to substitute him for the penalties.
 
I think we have to do to them what every other team has done to us in the last decade. Sit behind the ball and try and pick them off, I really don’t rate this Arsenal team but the rest are particularly poor at the minute which makes them look like world beaters.

Remember the League Cup Final against this lot in 2018? At the time City were flying. Our squad was strong, confident and filled with players playing at the top of their game.
In contrast Arsenal were moving towards the final throws of the Wenger era, there was a general disconnect between fans and the club and the team looked lightweight and inconsistent.

City cruised to a comfortable 3-0 win.

Yeh, you could say I'm not optimistic for Sunday

Completely different scenarios and you know it. You've just selectively bent history to fit a bias you already have.

By the time of the 2018 League Cup final Arsenal hadn't won a PL title for 14 years and had spent years selling their best players off to clubs like City. Meanwhile City were on pace for 100 points.

City won the league two years ago. Arsenal can finish with a maximum of 91. Not the same.

The resident office Gooner was surprised when i said we'd beat them at Wembley.
Fuck me, he acted like they're prime Barcelona and we're fucking Rochdale, ****

I think half the people on here think they are Arselona. They are just more consistent that most. Certainly don’t fear them

We didn't register Guehi early enough apparently.


Why would Rico start? Nunes is entrenched at RB and all our Midfielders are back. We've got Rodri, Nico O and G, Reijnders, Kova, and thr AM midfielders in Phil and Cherki. I strongly doubt Pep will skip all of those guys to play Rico.
