Oxford United v Arsenal, 20:00 GMT (ITV1/STV)

Why no handball? :lol:

Tierney. :haha:

Martinelli. :bow:

Eddie. :doh:

What an awful 45 minutes of football

0-0 HT.

Will we ever score a goal again?

We’ll be out in the next round but I’d rather not deal with the embarrassment of going out here.

Hopefully we can just pub something in and focus on NLD this weekend.

Should habe a pel IMO but generally not great, Vieira needs to grow a set and start creating more

Surprised Saka plays, given he is a yellow away from missing the NLD, I think?

Yellow cards in the cups don't count towards the league anymore.

That why no one picked up obvious yellows in the last round in the EPL .

The likelihood is we would go out in the 4th round anyway, so why not just put out the kids if it works great, if it doesn’t it’s a bit of a learning curve for them.

It's a miracle we are where we are in the league, our squad depth is truly pathetic. With the rubbish we're witnessing I'd also had preferred we allowed the kids to play this out
