Arsenal (A) - QF | Pre-Match Thread | Team on Pg 31

[SanPellegrini]

I think Arsenal’s poor form has parallels with our own. Teams sitting back, letting them have the ball to (not) make chances, conceding from few chances, not being clinical. Lead striker out with injury.

Difference being the quality of our defence, and general quality of our squad (and a vast difference that is).

But will be interested to see how we approach this tactically, and them too. Assuming both teams play their usual style, could be a total bore. Of course could be wrong if either team decides to rest their players, but you’d think Arteta has a point to prove tonight and it’s our favourite cup!

If we beat the Goons i think Arteta will get the bullet , and we should go on bended knee and ask him to return to God's own club , if Arteta can swallow his pride we could have the dream team back Pep and Arteta.

Wonder why they’ve done that? So we’re in the middle on a two legged quarter or semi of the CL?? Or is it FA cup semi time as well ??

Official Statement


This season’s Carabao Cup Final has been rescheduled and will now take place on Sunday 25 April 2021, with a 4pm kick-off.

It is the objective of the League to stage the Final with as many supporters in attendance as possible and the decision has therefore been taken to move the Final from its original date of Sunday 28 February 2021 to later in the year.

The number of fans permitted will be dependent on Government guidance in place at the time and it is hoped that moving the date to later in the year will give Clubs and their fans the best opportunity to attend in person.

The competition is set to continue this week, with the Quarter-Finals to be played across Tuesday 22 December and Wednesday 23 December, with all four games live on Sky Sports.

The postponement makes our attendance less attractive. Better to have the trophy already in the cabinet end-February before the resumption of Champions League hostilities. Not bothered now if we lose tomorrow.

Makes sense. Not sure how it fits fixture wise, but then again shouldn’t be assuming it will involve us.
