I just think the league cup is a worthless competition and the fewer fixtures we have to play in the new year the better ?

Can’t we get punished by the FA for not putting out a competitive side?
I would have had the school boy who was on the bench and got 90 seconds against Brentford on the bench tonight
But can’t say I think the side he’s put out is that silly. Only one definite first teamer in the XI
Good team
don't think so - and anyway i think most of those players hav featured in the PL this season so it's not like they're all total Academy kids
and yes i would also have rested Saliba but good that no-one else is out there
even Xhaka isn't playing
good work by Arteta here - no shame in losing to Brighton but if we win it ill be good encoureagemenrt for those players and he should stick with that team for the LC

Think too much stock in to having fewer fixtures as being a positive really. Also, it feels anathema to me as to what football is about.
Last season is the prime example of it being overdone.
No Trossard for Brighton.
I meant that more in response to the idea of actually putting out a team of academy players rather than the team we have put out which of course is a competitive team. This is the kind of game that’s a win-win because it’s a total free hit. If we lose oh well no more league cup games to play, if we win well hopefully that means we have a bit of strength in depth and players that can score goals outside of the first XIdon't think so - and anyway i think most of those players hav featured in the PL this season so it's not like they're all total Academy kids

It's not televised at all.
NOTE: The location of this post has been moved and the thread title (which was previously Wenger is Leaving) has been manipulated by a notorious pro-Wenger moderator. What was previously a message that contained no profanity and made a comment on a real life event has now been manipulated by a deliberately provocative title. An old and crude propaganda and censorship technique.
Not televised anywhere.
