You still need to put out a balanced team and preserve integrity, you make a few changes because you've been smart enough to make alternative changes in previous games. But Wenger doesn't do that. Instead he chucks management in the bin and leaves it to whoever he sticks on the pitch to find a way. He's not even a football manager any more. He's just some bloke managing the finances. In that respect he's doing an excellent job - if you have a stake in the profits.

    Steve Bruce is whining about having the replay - well why did he set up for ten men behind the ball for 75 minutes then? Berk.

    It'll be talking points from the authorities I guess. If everyone has a moan then the money guys can rush to the rescue and hack up the cup a bit more. The clubs have these huge squads but they can't do replays? Win it first time around then.

    I'm starting to really worry about our finishing, it's massively concerning now. It's not just that but we don't even create that many clear cut chances.

    I actually think the only way we will get past Hull is by playing a near to full strength team, I think we are going to need Ozil to get past them in the replay.

    Wenger really needs to upgrade the attack in the summer, he may have to do if we don't win anything this season.

    You just know that this summer our only signing will be Michael Carrick on a freebie.
