Arsenal (H) - FA Cup - Fri 27th Jan, 20:00 | Pre-Match Thread

[WNRH]

Full strength, nothing more, nothing less.

No game for 9 days, fringe players don't deserve to play. What we fucking about for?

New member here Arsenal supporter. This is such a tough fixture for Arteta to pick a side for, if we lose we kind of win. We aren’t City, we aren’t used to winning tons of league titles so it is only natural to prioritize and maximize chances at league as we are not deepest squad. Yet, do you risk denting a young teams momentum by not letting them have a fair shot at City, would it even matter for a road tie at City where we almost always lose? Plus this competition that us Arsenal fans can’t take lightly, it is part of club DNA, to me with CL secure i would rather have the FA cup then Europa. Very hard lineup to pick I don’t know which way he will go

 

[FantasyIreland]

No disrespect to him but I am sick of going out this cup by mistakes by our second choice goalkeeper.

He played shit In last game so should he not be dropped?

Ederson for me

Ederson is just as capable of a fuck up,if not more so.

Ortega deserves the Cup games.

 

[Sir peace frog]

Looking forward to this game, arsenal are flying at the moment, I fancy us to win though and hopefully a good but one-sided game :)

 

[Gray]

Ortega
Walker
Ake
Dias
Stones
Rodri
Bernado
KDB
Grealish
Haaland
Foden

If Ortega plays can he stay nearer his goal line please.

Nail on the head. Pep needs to find his best team otherwise we’ll win nothing this season.

 

[Blumooniac]

Please, please, Pep. No jazz fag omg, wtf team selection. Full strength. Beat them. Shut the media up, at least for a couple of days.

 

[urban genie]

changed me mind, Arsenal will go full strength so should we (bar ortega maybe)

Pep seemsto be playing 3-2-2-3 or 3-2-3-2 atm so:


Ortega/Eddie

Sones
Dias
Ake

Lewis
Rodri

DeBruyne
Bernardo

Mahrez
Haarland
Grealish

or

I wont know how confident I am until I see the players Pep picks and the positions they play in. Thats the truth.

Going through could be a poison chalice because of the potential extra games.

Saying that, we tossed one cup away and gave those cunts a free run at silverware, I dont want that to happen again.

What?

 

[waspish]

Thing with Arsenal is the don’t go for control we will get quite a few chances unless Arteta go for sitting back not over commit hit us on the break!

 

[Gundogan's Moustache]

Ederson is just as capable of a fuck up,if not more so.

Ortega deserves the Cup games.

If that was true Ederson wouldn’t be seen as one of the best keepers in the league.

Yes hes not perfect but half of the ‘mistakes‘ he makes Oretga will double

Sam Matterface predicting 3-1 to Arsenal on TalkSport. Doesn't have much between his ears.

 

[Rammy Blue]

I fully expect Pep to go as strong as possible, he will know it’s an opportunity to put a marker down and dent their confidence.

I think both managers will go full tilt and the game will be quite open….should be a great game for neutrals.
