I'd like to see what Reine-Adelaide, Crowley, Bielik and Dragomir can do, though excitement about our youth players is invariably followed by disappointment.
exactly why I'm unsure as to where the next bright prospect is coming from

most of my hopes were pinned on zelalem, but once we fucked him off on loan to the scottish championship side it was obvious that he is not where he needs to be in terms of development. Bielik is definitley due a run out, he's a big built DM and lord knows its worth a throw of the dice in that position when you look at ramsey at the moment. not at all saying he should be replaced, but in a cup match it's worth a go.

I hope Wenger takes it serious. Because would be nice to be the first club to win it 3 years in a row. :barscarf: :barscarf:

It's all about making history.

Ozil should be watching this one from a hammock on some sunny beach somewhere. Big fat Sam has been tasked with keeping them in the prem, so I reckon he will play the stiffs here. We should do similar even though with what only seems like 11 fit players in the squad at the moment I'm not sure how that will work out.

I'd start the likes of Ospina, Debuchy, Chambers, Gibbs and Ox for starters.

I think Rodders has it right; Fat Sam will not be too fussed if his side lose this so I would be happy to see some sensible changes to the side.

Arsene will probably play Özil for the duration though.

Certain to see Ospina, Gibbs, Chambers and Gabriel start this one. I think he might play Walcott at CF and rest Giroud. Theo has been shite in the last few games so it might do him good to get a game in his 'favoured' position. I would expect at least 1 kid to start and that will probably be Iwobi.
I believe that Hayden is now back from Hull so internal
solutions at DM are available :barscarf:

Yes and Gabriel, think Arteta will also be back

No great shout there already been stated previous, Fucking obvious

On track record Allardyce has always done similar, his priority is staying up

I wouldn't bother with Ospina. Cech doesn't need a rest and it's hardly like Ospina is far too good to be our #2 so that we need to give him enough gametime to keep him happy enough.

Good shout for this with the exception of Debuchy as I think that he is off, so probably won't even make the bench.

Difficult to get the balance right as the reserves coming in v Zagreb and Panithanikos didn't look up to the task.

Don't think it will be a classis if we have Arteta dictating the pace of the game :roll:
(nice bloke, been good for the club but does not merit a first team squad place) See also Rosicky.

It's live on Eurosport in Germany.

Great, cos we've been almost universally shit over the last years when shown on German TV.
