    The Arsenal v Crystal Palace Emirates Stadium - League Cup, 7.30pm Weds 18 December 2024

    0-3 Eddie hatter


    Seriously though this needs to be a game where we heavily rotate and give younger players and subs a good run out

    Neto

    Nicholls Heaven Kiwior MLS

    Jorg Merino

    Sterling Nwaneri Trossard

    Jesus

The important thing (to the exclusion of everything else I’d argue) is the league. That’s why I was so fucking furious with Arteta after the Fulham game, and I’m still seething now at the golden opportunity he’s letting slip through his fingers.


    Don’t get me wrong I want Arsenal to win every game, but if we go out tonight I won’t lose any sleep over it

    Arteta currently seems to be effusive about the cups, even having the nerve to correct journalists and insist the "Charity Shield" counts as titles he has won

    For someone who loves to setup his team not to lose you would think we'd have more than one real cup to show for his marvellous system.

    Anyway, I want us to win everything, though the League and the CL are the the crown jewels.

    He needs to put out a team that can win, which is the only way he can try and deflect that he is slowly killing our hopes and making us wait for another season for the things we really want.

    I do think even a League Cup win woild be a really good boost for players and fans alike, Moan U fans didn't complain when they won it

    But while I know he won't play the team I've outlined above it should be in that direction, we need to rotate players and give Nwaneri and others a start, that and wanting to win the game aren't mutually exclusive

    I doubt the defence will be the same as your suggested one, although I think probably Kiwior and Lewis-Skelly will start, as for the rest…actually that wouldn’t surprise me at all if that is who he does pick

    I think it is the wrong attitude, but I agree about the league cup.
    Not about the FA which has lost some of its status but it’s still a major trophy

    I'd forgotten about Tierney actuallly or I'dhave had him there too, the line up's not that far off what I said actually
