Probably can't rotate too much because of injuries, but any team we put out should obviously win comfortably. At least Podolski and Oxlade will finally get a start. I think.
Fabianski
Jenkinson
Koscielny
Vermaelen/Hayden/BFG?
Gibbs
Flamini
Zelalem
Rosicky
Gnabry
Podolski
Oxlade
2-0 (Podolski, Gnabry).
Going to this.
Should be another comfortable win.
3-0.
Arsenal scoring 3 at home :lol:.
Boring 75 mins
Proactive 15 mins
2-0
George Graham with both.
Wenger's going to throw the game. Need to be fully fresh for a tricky game to Southampton next Tuesday.
He can try to throw it (I'm sure he will) but there's no way we're losing to a League 1 side at home.
Just play Henry.
That'll do it.
Give everyone else a rest.
8 (eight) - 0
2-0 (nil)
3 - (dash) 0
Another shot at a long overdue absolute pasting of a pub team.
Has to be this time, surely?
7-0.
#COYG :scarf:
Seeing as Vermaelen is probably out till the Southampton game.....

3 at the back against this dros. Giroud needs to play to get some confidence infront of goal. Mind you if King Nic scores more than him it'll ruin him.
Definitely a game for the strikers to get their eye in. Give Giroud and Bendtner 45 mins each, and give Podolski the game on the left.
Let's just hope Coventry don't come with a plan to kick us off the pitch. Can't afford any injuries here.
1 - 1one!1!!
I thought Bendtner wasn't available till Monday and I would rather start with Giroud on the bench as much as I hate Podolski up front in this system.
0-0 we need the replay money for Girouds new heart.
Man it's gonna be feckin :cold:
Hope to see some Zelalem action! And i wanna see ox and podolski get a full game :)
Fabianski
Jenkinson-Mert/Kos-U21 player?-Gibbs
Rosicky-Flamini/U21 player
Gnabry-Zelalem-Ox
Podolski (Even tho i dont think we'll get the best from Poldi up top, its important to get him some playing time)
What about that Isaac Hayden kid for defence or DM? I liked what i saw in the 10min he got in the league cup.
--------Flaps------

3-0.
Eisfield deserves a game. He's always looked quite good whenever he's played.
Fabianski
Jenks
Vermelean
Kos
Gibbs
Zealem
Eisfield
Flamini
Gnabry
Ox
Podolski
'bout time BFG got a rest
Flamini to blind any Sky Blue Singers that even "look" at Zelalem
BTW - Respect to Coventry - Their only major trophy was won in 1987 when they beat Tottenham Hotspur 3–2 to win the FA Cup :cheers:
I think Wenger said he thought Rambo, Vermaelen and Arteta would all miss the Coventry game mate. Might get a nice surprise though...Quote:

We should be able to risk the Vermaelen - Kos death partnership in this one.
Really hope Eisfeld plays.
Eisfeld had a shocker against West Brom in the COC.
So did Gnabry tbf.
He seems to be one of those who has been consistent for the reserves and has looked impressive in most of his senior appearances, but WUMger doesn't seem to trust him. See also: Barazite, Lansbury. He's older than Gnabry/Zelalem/Hayden too, but appears to be behind them in the pecking order. You'd think he'd at least have been allowed to prove himself on loan somewhere by now. He'll just end up at some obscure Hungarian club. Wenget gonna Wenget.
I have heard before that beyond the goal threat from midfield, he doesn't really offer enough.....which is why Wenger seems not to favour him.
He is prolific.
Emergency striker?
The gap between the reserves is huge so you have to be something special to force your way through. As Blink said, I'm not sure Eisfield has much to his game apart from goals so he'll have to stay patient.
Haven't been impressed from the couple of games I have seen Eisfeld play. Doesn't have a chance of making it here anyway.
Wenget has never been shy of putting the very best youngsters in at the deep end, so there must be something about this guy holding him back. He's 21 and in Arsenal years that's fairly late in terms of first team development.
It's likely he could just be another reserve team legend who wasn't quite up to scratch but we'll see.
Great talent but his progress is slow due to niggling injuries, our medical staff are really bad at handling players fitness :doh: Nearly all of our young players have this issue (especially when they are close to join first team squad).Quote:

Think we should offer the FA some mad props for calling this on a Friday and not 5pm Sunday. Gives the lads a fighting chance of travelling to Southampton in time for the Tuesday game.
Reckon Wenger will go with:
----------------Fabianski----------------
Jenkinson---Hayden---Vermaelen----Meade
----------Zelalem----#Bench------------
Miyaichi--------Eisfeld------------Park
---------------Bendtner---------------
Maede :lol:
btw Meade isn't even an Arsenal player.
---------------Flappy---------------
Jenks-----Merkyl-----KOS-----Nacho

Fabianski
GHELkinson Kos Verm Monreal
Oxlade Flamini Wheelchair
Gnabbers Bendtner Poldi

Really hope he starts. Didn't see any of the preseason games so would quite like to see how he gets on. Supposed to be ridiculously talented for 16.
