Second string for this one.
I fancy us to nick it too.

It's better to burn out, than to fade away.
Chelsea's 2nd string is always quite strong so we're probably underdogs.
Sitting behind the dugout for this one.
We'll win and win well.

"In Letters We Trust"
I would piss myself laughing.
Make it so.

Print out the Letters Dream poster.

Also, throw stuff at Mourinho.
Preferably anthrax

Özil giroud Gibbs, Sagna, Ramsey and BFG - all should be omitted from this meaningless cup.
jenkinson, Nacho, TV5, Frimpong, NB23, Gnabry, Park, Ryo, and Eisfied should play and maybe Jack, Cazorla and coscenly
Cazorla defo neeed to play.
I'd like to see Kris Olsson get a run out.

This is a tournament where having a quality squad rather than just a great first team really comes into play in matches between the big clubs. Chelsea are simply much better equipped for tonight. I'll be pleasantly surprised if we win.
If you don’t send this signature to ten people, you will become a Spurs fan.
Since the last League Cup game, only Cazorla has returned to the squad. Instead of players returning from injury, Flamini and Feo have since joined the stricken and Gnabry and Eisfeld have decided to pick up knocks too. Even Frimpong has picked up another injury. That was most likely another knock to his brain though, tbf.
Our injury situation just never improves. If we ever have the luxury of a first choice XI again, never mind a fully-fit squad (withstanding Diaby of course), I think the world will cave in on itself.
By contrast, teams with trillion-pound squads like Chelsea and Citeh rarely have any serious, long-term injuries. Well, Kompany aside. Chelsea have only Van Ginkel missing, and he would have been sidelined by Mourinho by now anyway.
Apart from our choice of strikers, our squad is fine. Actually, it's better than fine. As evidenced by our second-choice defence, which looks strangely to be the strongest part of our team at the moment. Our midfield and attacking midfield/wide options are really impressive too. Saying our squad is thin, or whatever cliche the next braindead pundit will use, is factually wrong. In numbers and ability, there's not a huge difference between ours and Chelsea/Citeh's. The only difference is theirs cost loads more. The fact that we always have so many players out exarcebates the myth of Arsenal having LITERALLY no depth.
We should have added to our options up front and in central defence, but what can you do when you have seven first-team players out and even your best young players are dead?
Tl;dr: Injuries are the number one problem at the club. Still.
If we do beat Chelsea today, it will be an outstanding result. If Wilshere, Rosicky and Cazorla play it should give us a real hold of the midfield. Hayden was an absolute scrote against West Brom. He will need to show more than that tonight.
The most important aspect of the game should be to avoid any injury to a first-teamer, especially if Essien is out there targeting the shins of players gliding past him.
