Arsenal v Nottingham Forest (Carabao Cup, 24/09, 19:45 BST)

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Bonkers turnaround still.

This game will surely be without a Xhaka with not the usual recovery time allowed.

[Marc Overmars]

Complete youth team for this one.

[Letters]

Complete youth team for this one.

Plus Xhaka, obvs.

[Master Splinter]

The United game is almost a week later so surely this is the perfect game to get Holding, Bellerin and Tierney ready.

Going by who didn't start today, it could be something like:

Martinez, Tierney, Holding, Chambers, Bellerin, Torreira, Willock, Ozil, Smith Rowe, Martinelli, Nelson/John-Jules.

[Ralpheroo72]

4-6

[Gooner23]

Holding and Tierney start, Bellerin on the bench.

[Mac76]

Martinelli's starting apparently

45 mins to go and i van't find the full lineup yet

Emery :bow:

[Mac76]

Mustafi

Forest will be rubbing their hands...

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Arsenal: Martinez, Chambers, Holding!, Mustafi, Tierney!!, Torreira, Willock, Nelson, Ozil, Smith Rowe, Martinelli.
Subs: Macey, Bellerin!!!, Ceballos, Balogun, Bola, Burton, Saka.

Forest: Muric, Cash, Figueiredo, Robinson, Ribeiro, Chema, Silva, Johnson, Carvalho, Lolley, Adomah
Subs: Smith, Milosevic, Grabban, Ameobi, Sow, Gabriel, Mighten.

Kick off delayed until 8pm.

[Mac76]

Ozil

:pal: :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Streams are not in huge supply. :lol:

I have it on Soccer Special so they usually show any clips close to the action.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Nelson freekick, hits the post.

[GP]

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Torreira goes for the shot, out of the ground it goes.

[Master Splinter]

Torreira sends it to Highbury.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Chambers tries to Van Basten it, doesn't work.

[Master Splinter]

Chambers :lol:.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Tierney powering down the wing. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Some effort from Mustafi off that corner.

He is a goal threat from corners.

Both boxes of course. :ninja:

[Master Splinter]

Mustafi tries a Bif special.

[GP]

MARTINELLI!!

[Master Splinter]

MARTINELLI!!!

[Globalgunner]

Chambers with the quality volley

[GP]

Great goal

[LDG]

:bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Best Brazilian player of all time.

[Master Splinter]

Was Chambers' crossing always this accurate?

[GP]

So Chambers is just a Cafu regen?

[LDG]

Was Chambers' crossing always this accurate?

Lad is playing himself into regular contention and Bellers is gonna fuck him over :lol:

[GP]

Tierney :bow:

[Master Splinter]

Tierney started quite conservatively but now he's killing them down the left side.

[Master Splinter]

Lad is playing himself into regular contention and Bellers is gonna fuck him over :lol:

Tbf, I don't think even he would want to play at right-back regularly.

But he certainly deserves a chance ahead of Sokratis and Luiz.

[Master Splinter]

Smith Rowe has broken his nose.

[GP]

Smith Rowe has broken his nose.

Saka comes on for him

[Master Splinter]

Saka on for Smith Rowe.

Broken nose is better than broken ankle tbf.

[Mac76]

Saka on for Smith Rowe.

Broken nose is better than broken ankle tbf.

Yeah still bit unlucky

The ref's been a bit lenient on Forest so far

Still a good lively performance and it's good to see us putting forest under a bit of pressure on the ball, more than we've been doing in the PL

Tierney's looked really good so far and Holding's also looking good

Really hope Hector gets a run out

[I am invisible]

It’s like watching a different team! So much to like about this group that are out there tonight - so much energy and hunger. I think we’ve been first to everything so far?

Even Özil and Mustafi aren’t making me want to throw my phone at the wall

[Master Splinter]

It might only be Forest, but it's obvious how much calmer and more confident in possession we are with Holding in the defence.

Willock and Torreira in front of him have been a big part of that - that triangle is really anchoring the side well...

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Nice idea from Ozil, Saka was sleeping to the idea. :lol:

[LDG]

Nice idea from Ozil, Saka was sleeping to the idea. :lol:

Saka shit :sulk:

[GP]

Brilliant from Saka, Willock misses a sitter

[Master Splinter]

Willock :doh:.

[Globalgunner]

We really have a lot of players with limited technique. How difficult was that Willock chance. 1-1 and they will all look like a bunch of mugs. We are turning what should be a romp into a slog.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

HOLDING!!!!

:bow:

[GP]

HOLDING!!!

[Globalgunner]

Holding shows the strikers how its done

[Master Splinter]

HOLDING!!!!

[Gooner23]

Chambers and Holding have to be given a chance together in the Prem.

[Globalgunner]

Chambers and Holding have to be given a chance together in the Prem.

Cant be worse than the experienced dipshits we have now. I'd put Chambers in Xhakas position

[GP]

WILLOCK!

Set up by Hector! :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

WILLOCK!!!

[Master Splinter]

Bellerin :bow:.

[Master Splinter]

Mustafi also playing Ozil's role better than Ozil.

[Master Splinter]

So Chambers is the new AMN, who was the new Flamini.

[GP]

NELSON!!!

Great goal!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

NELSON!!!! :bow:

[GP]

[Master Splinter]

Chambers with a legendary performance.

[Gooner23]

Chambers with a legendary performance.

Dropped for Utd then.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

That was some sexy skill from Ceballos in the build-up.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

MARTINELLI!!!!!


:bow:

[GP]

MARTINELLI!!!!

[GP]

Ridiculous goal

https://streamja.com/m27V

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Arsenal 5-0 Forest, FT!

Mustafi with another clean sheet. :bow:

[Master Splinter]

It's like one of those post-Invincibles project youth nights where we battered pub sides on a regular basis. :cloud9:

[GP]

Martinelli :bow:

He's like a Brazillian Pele

[Master Splinter]

Martinelli :bow:

He's like a Brazillian Pele

Or a Brazilian Ronaldo.

[Gooner23]

It's like one of those post-Invincibles project youth nights where we battered pub sides on a regular basis. :cloud9:

Martinelli the new Vela.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Martinelli :bow:

He's like a Brazillian Pele

Garrincha's hero.
