Big test. With over a week before the next league game, we should go with a strong side.

3-0 Haaland hatter against an Arsenal 'B' team
then we can focus on the league
Depends what team we put out but I do think this will be a defeat and I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s a heavy one either.
Yeah I think we are mostly all reconciled to that.Originally Posted by Marc Overmars
No one likes a defeat, but there are defeats and Defeats
This. A narrow defeat with no injuries is just fine with me. The main thing is not to be crushed psychologically before the league game...
Putting the laughter back into manslaughter
Going to this, so would quite like to not get battered.
A goal would be nice, too.
You used to be everything to me
Now you're tired of fighting
Which is why it needs to be a weakened team, so we have that as an excuse
I really hope Arteta sees sense on this one

Why bother focusing on the league if you can't stand up a performance against the team who will be the major rival in that league? If this is a serious turnaround for the club, and fans GENUINELY believe it, what difference does the the tournament make? The opposition is there to be beaten, regardless.
I'd be extremely worried for the league if the results ends up 3-0. If I was still into it. The reverse if the team puts in a decent performance and beats the gypos, having beaten 3 other rivals in recent weeks.
Sounds like you don't believe in Christmas but still want your presents.

This isn’t something new, teams have always prioritised one competition over another. If you go back 30 years it was clear it was the reverse and we played our strongest team in the cups and for any league fixture that ended up being re-scheduled and played midweek it was a case of putting out a weakened team.
Three years ago, Liverpool were much further ahead in terms of points than us and ditched the cup competitions.
If we had the strength in depth City have, it would be totally worth going toe to toe with them but we don’t. The one thing I like is that it feels to a degree that we are trying to get that strength in depth but when we literally have no cover for Thomas Partey to risk throwing away everything we’ve done this season on a one off cup tie is fucking nuts.
