Is that a prediction? Wouldn't mind that line up.

[HCZ_Reborn]

Is that a prediction? Wouldn't mind that line up.

Probably a reasonably safe prediction given how many players we have out injured :lol:

[Marc Overmars]

Yeah the line up kind of picks itself given the amount of key players out.

Only debate was whether to go full pub team with Cedric instead of Tomi/Kiwior.

Vieira/Havertz was a question as well but I’d rather the German be given the opportunity to find some form.

Cedric is doing an Ozil, simply hanging around because he doesn’t want to lose the ridiculously generous wages he’s on. I doubt there’s any chance he gets game time unless injuries get really, really bad

Jorginho and Elneny won’t give our defence much protection against pace but they offer variety with Elneny in the holding role and Jorginho using his passing to get the attacking players in the game.

Nelson and Smith Rowe deserve more game time than they are currently getting

[Mac76]

This should def. be about giving under-used players minutes, nothing else

[HCZ_Reborn]

Yep that’s usually what the league cup has been about historically

There’s an argument for playing more first teamers in the business end of the tournament (though mainly only if we have nothing else going on for us in terms of trophy hunts)

But third round? I want to win, but I’ll sleep just as soundly if we get slaughtered.

[Marc Overmars]

Starting XI: Ramsdale, Tomiyasu, White, Gabriel, Kiwior, Jorginho, Havertz, Smith Rowe, Nelson, Sagoe Jr, Nketiah.

Subs: Hein, Cedric, Sweet, Walters, Zinchenko, Elneny, Odegaard, Cozier-Duberry, Jesus.

I thought Sanogo was back for a split second.

[mandela8]

Be intradesting to see who plays more advanced out of Havertz and ESR. I'd assume Havertz plays the CM position just to build familiarity with it but fuck know with Arteta.

[HCZ_Reborn]

Starting XI: Ramsdale, Tomiyasu, White, Gabriel, Kiwior, Jorginho, Havertz, Smith Rowe, Nelson, Sagoe Jr, Nketiah.

Who is Sagoe and how long has his son been playing for us?

[Mac76]

Loving that lineup :good:

[Mac76]

Who cares, it's a 'go' from me

[HCZ_Reborn]

Who cares, it's a 'go' from me

I dunno, I’m always interested in whether a player is a potential future star or just a footnote in our history.

And that he’s called Jnr warranted a corny dad joke….about his dad

[HCZ_Reborn]

Then again games like these can be false dawns. I can’t be the only one who thought Pennant had “arrived” when he scored that hat trick against Southampton twenty years ago

Turns out the only place he arrived was prison after refusing to arrive by public transport after a driving ban

[Marc Overmars]

0-1 Nelson!!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Nelson. :bow:

Hope we win tbf.

[HCZ_Reborn]

0-1 Nelson!!

Good for him, he’s a good lad

[Marc Overmars]

Sounds like a shocker from Brentford.

[WMUG]

Amusing to listen in real time as the away fans realise they have to call somebody new's mother a whore :lol:

[WMUG]

Unlucky ESR. Would've been a great goal.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Amusing to listen in real time as the away fans realise they have to call somebody new's mother a whore :lol:

I thought you meant Postecoglou had been sacked for a second.

[Mac76]

Nelson. :bow:

Hope we win tbf.

:gp:

[HCZ_Reborn]

Witty Twitter exchange I came across

Chelsea fan mocking Arsenal fans over Havertz (I mean really?) - So much for you guys saying you’d signed our best player


Arsenal fan in response: He was your best player, it’s illustrative of how shit you are

:lol:

[Mac76]

Half time and it's 8 goals in 9 games - and 4 of those are in the same game

League cup :bow:

[HCZ_Reborn]

Five goals scored immediately after half time

Arenasport 10 Croatia on 16 east.

5 minutes injury time, less than 30 secs to go.

[dostoy]

All over

[Marc Overmars]

Good win considering the team we had out.

Hopefully a straight forward tie in the next round.

[WMUG]

Away draw in the North West, please.

[Mac76]

Good win considering the team we had out.

Hopefully a straight forward tie in the next round.

Yeah, happy to progress if it gives those guys more minutes, am pleased for Nelson
