You guys do know this is a cup game correct? Friedel will be GK.

Hope not, and I doubt Sherwood wants to take that risk. Be stupid if he did (no disrespect to Friedel)

Brillant news!!!!

 

[Mr Pink]

Think we should be careful with Ade though...he's integral to our push for top four, he's had very little competitive game time for ages and has been slung in during the busiest period of the year when the games are coming thick and fast. Don't want to over do it with him.

Lloris;
Walker, Dawson, Chiriches, Rose;
Lamela, Capoue, Holtby, Chadli;
Kane, Soldado.

Subs: Friedel, Naughton, Fryers, Bentaleb, Sigurdsson, Lennon, Defoe.

I just can't see this working.....Walker left back and then the rest of the back four in the stands cheering him on? However shift them all over a bit and you could be on to something

Changed my mind on this, must rest players.

 

[Ghost Hardware]

I would really like and hope that Lamela, Chadli and Holtby all get starts on Saturday. We have a large, fantastic squad and it makes no sense to me to start the same team as we did on Wednesday, especially as some of the players, notably the three listed above, are all good enough to be starting in the league. This is the last match of a very busy period, we must rotate and give other players a chance to shine.

 

[Strikeb4ck]

Lamela Soldado
Kane Capoue Bentaleb Chadli
Rose Chiriches Dawson Walker
Lloris

or set it up as...

Kane Soldado
Chadli Capoue Bentaleb Lamela
Rose Chiriches Dawson Walker
Lloris

So Ade was stretchered off with cramp?

Lazy bastard just wanted a lift back to the bench.

No need to rest players for this game when our next game is a full week away.

I want to see us rest most of our key players and I'd also like to see Tim trying a different formation as we can't afford to be too open against a very good Arsenal team.

The above requires Lamela and Chadli to work hard, but they both have that in their locker, and I think Kane can play in that central role on his own.

That team can also transition to a 4-4-2 fairly easily, but it gives us a bit of bite and numbers in midfield which I think will be needed if Arsenal pick their strongest team.

Although that's a lot of changes, I think the players will be keen to impress in a big game so we shouldn't lose any intensity and nobody will be treating it as a nothing cup game as it's a derby.

COYS!

Lot of votes for Holtby.. Is this to conserve Sony?

Do we care about FA Cup?

Can't believe some of these selections - this is the Gooners, best fit 11 all day long, how anyone can be happy playing a weakened team is beyond me

Normally I'd agree, but coming off the back of that run of games we need to be sensible about resting players.

If it was any other team we'd be happy to rest players so don't think we can let emotion get the better of us too much.

Plus the players who haven't been playing should be hungry to impress Sherwood and Co. so there's no reason why they wouldn't be looking and able to deliver a top performance.
