Carabao Cup Final pre-match thread

Take your point re Bravo, I think it's right he plays tomorrow. He was not at fault for the Grigg goal on Monday, however, he did fail to produce the world class save necessary to help us &, it has to be said, rarely has. Nevertheless, I have no doubt he deserves to play in the final.

That’s the issue. He doesn’t make handling errors but simply doesn’t make any saves.

We simply have to start taking our chances again , when we missed a few in the 1st half against Wigan it was a case of , here we go again , don't beleive in bogey sides , but Wigan did a good impression , the Goons always tend to get the rub of the green when they plays us , we just need to be clinical and if we take half of the chances we are capable of creating ,we will win comfortably

The more important managerial choices are: Zinchenko or Danilo at left back; Kompany or Stones or even Laporte to partner The General. I feel that Danilo was unfairly criticised by MUEN at Wigan as he was arguably our most productive attacking force in the second half, when playing in his preferred left back position. Zinchenko is still very young. His time will come. As for central defence, Stones has plenty of Wembley experience (with England) so gets my vote.

C'mon mate he's made plenty of good, even great saves. Grigg's effort required him to pull off a world class save which most keepers wouldn't have made -- imo Eddy could have saved it, but that's immaterial, Claudio earned his right to play against Wigan and the same applies tomoz imo.

That does seem to meet @Lovebitesandeveryfing ’s description based on my quick look on Google Maps.

That's the one, @SebastianBlue ! Just had a look at the photos and that's the place. It's further up the Euston Road from the station than I had remembered. I actually got the place off some thread on here that was having the same discussion about blue-friendly pubs in London, as I remember it. I knew that I was going to be in London that day for the Everton-City match. Does a decent pint, and acceptable pub food of course. Kudos to @Scooby Blue for spotting where I was talking about.

We need to win this, purely to see ArsenalFanTV in meltdown after the match.

Zinchenko if he plays at left back will be the biggest weak spot for Arsenal to exploit rather than the keeper. Promising player but He is not a left back and will be targeted. It will be up to the other players to make sure he isn’t isolated. Sane will have to support that area and that’s something that he doesn’t tend to do.

The forwards need to click tomorrow. A Basel away type shooting performance rather than Wigan or Burnley please!

I think and am hoping he'll play Danilo there. At least he has a bit more pace then Zinchenko.
