Really hope that game makes this team rally, we were way too soft and content coming into the season.
Agreed. I mean Santi was sent off. Not because he wants to, because he knows he has to. Santi. Santi. Santi. So frustrating.
Who the fuck is gonna be our 10 midweek? Ozil needs a rest, Santi is suspended and needs a rest, not sure who that leaves. Assume the front 3 will be Ox/Giroud/Joel, guess that leaves Ramsey/Arteta/Flamini as the midfield which is gross. Good thing it's a nothing competition and really don't care if we lose if we're not playing youngsters. Hopefully Chambers shows up and gets Liverpool out of him.
Willock or Iwobi and throw Ox in at 10. I don't really care as long as Alexis and Ozil are in a press box with their dogs.
Gabriel's ban lifted. Costa likely to get a 3 match ban. to be honest it all just makes me feel worse.
Yep. It's the FA admitting that the ref fucked it all up. Can we get a replay of the second half instead?
Yeah, I mean that's great and good to see Costa get punished, but it doesn't address the issue of Arsenal having to play an entire half with 10 men when it should have been the other way around.
The notion that Costa knew what he was doing and planned it like some evil thundercunt genius was so stupid, so many espoused about his brilliance at ruffling opponents... No, he's just lucky that Mike Dean sucks at his job
What kind of mash unit you fellas gonna be fielding today? I'm sure some 17 year old I've never heard of will chip in a wonder goal.
Mostly backups that haven't played much. Santi is suspended and can't imaginr Ozil plays so our midfield will be shit. The backups were all awful in Zagreb. Wouldn't be surprised if Alexis plays since he badly needs form.
Yeah I'm not sure what route we will go, probably won't see Eriksen but I'd imagine Mauricio will field a fairly strong squad at home. We have City at the weekend though so we will see. Njie and a couple other fringe players might get a run out.
I agree Alexis is out of form but think a rest would help him out more than playing midweek. We are running him into the ground.
Just taking the piss a little. It was just funny because as soon as you mentioned a wonder strike that was the first thing I thought of.
Yeah it must kind of be like losing your virginity to Candice Swanepoel or something, no matter who you fuck the rest of your life it will never be able to measure up to your first.
I see what you are doing here. We both named equally uninspiring sides tho so who the hell knows what will happen. Tom Carroll likely won't be doing much bossing of the midfield either.
Sounds like they've been jerking him around a bit between CB and DM and he's had a few injuries. I was being serious, you at least have a handful of starters and are at home. We have 1 in Ramsey and he hasn't done much this year. Flamini-Arteta is always awful as is Per-Chambers and not much faith in the fullbacks or attack.
There are 3 or 4 players who would make a first choice 11 for us, one of them is just coming back from injury. Ox, Ramsay, and Giroud are in or around your first team a lot so I think they are kind of even in that respect. We will both be able to bitch about our defenses at least a handful of times most likely. Kind of disappointed in our lineup as I would have preferred some other guys got a chance if we planned on switching things up.
