Why televise this game when it's going to be little more than a reserve team game?

greendom · 20-09-2010 8:45pm

Nothing more than a distraction - perhaps Wenger can serve his 1 match ban for this one ?

PHB · 20-09-2010 8:49pm

Congrats to Spurs. They now join the ranks of clubs for whom the league cup is little more than a chance for young players

Pepe LeFrits · 20-09-2010 8:58pm

It's great entertainment though, I look forward to it every year.

I reckon Arsenal's team will be along the lines of:

Szczesny
Eboue Djourou Squillaci Gibbs
Eastmond Denilson
JET Lansbury Randall
Vela

Though with the number of injury concerns it's very hard to tell.

Gillington · 20-09-2010 9:11pm

Looking forward to seein Sandro playing

Frisbee · 20-09-2010 9:29pm

I wonder will Spurs put out a weakened team or will 'Arry be too concerned in 'getting one over' on Wenger and play a full side.

Former and we should win, latter and Spurs should.

Off with him if he does, I think it'd be foolish considering they have the champions league to contend with now.

iMuse · 20-09-2010 9:50pm

Can see spurs fielding a strong team so that they can have a chance of releasing another "Famous victory" DVD

Fuzzy_Dunlop · 20-09-2010 9:54pm

Rumours now that it may in fact be Arsenal bringing a strong squad. With the only real reserve players being Lansbury, Eastmond and JET.

If this is true than something like Pepe's team looks about right, just replace Randall with Wilshere/Rosicky/Nasri I guess. Fabianski in goal too:( Strong bench though if this is the case.

shano_88 · 20-09-2010 10:03pm

Is this Tuesday evening or Wednesday evening?

I am looking forward to it.

Frisbee · 20-09-2010 10:10pm

Tuesday

Yeah I saw that, and YoungGuns is generally pretty reliable about these things. If so, the team will probably be more like:

Fabianski

Eboue Djourou Squillaci Gibbs
Eastmond
Denilson Lansbury
JET Vela Rosicky

... with a strong bench. Nasri and Wilshere look like they'll start in the league next weekend so it'd be a real surprise to me if they started, particularly considering the lack of games for Denilson, Rosicky and the youngsters.

Ya we are all very excited about him and yet we have never seen him lay so it's going to be interesting but you can't make the Brazil Team if your useless.

The peoples overwhelming choice for england manager field a weakened team, i think not.

He already said he will field a weakened team but we have a squad which needs to be playing as well the likes of Niko Bently Gio palacios Keane Pav all need more game time so they will be available we have an 18 year old that looks like he's going to be playing CB alongside Bassong Sandro too needs to start playing and then there's Hutton so while it's not the first team there is still plenty of very good players to come in.

Redknapp says he looks and runs like Socrates, nothing on him playing ability though!

Ya I've read all that alright I don't know how hes going to turn out hopefully not the next Boogers though :P. He was signed off Dunga's and the chief scout's recomendation and he's in the Brazil National team's squad so can't be too bad. Hopefully he puts his head down and gives 120% from the get go.

Pepe LeFrits · 21-09-2010 12:08pm

Wenger is serving his touchline ban tonight, so presumably Pat Rice will be in charge (at least as far as appearances go

)

DB10 · 21-09-2010 12:31pm

I'm surprised Wenger didn't take the ban vs West Brom which he could have.

This is a more important game I feel. We probably need Wenger on the sidelines more in this game than at the weekend.

Frisbee · 21-09-2010 12:33pm

G'wan Ricey! Hope he brings Bould in as his assistant for the evening.

And goes all out and dresses Mourinho style.
And runs around like a madman in his technical area.

And gives us at least one double fist pump.

He could have? I'm happy enough that he's not missing the league game to be honest!

I agree but I think the younger/reserve players would probably need more instructions tonight about positioning etc.

Meh suppose Rice is well fit for it. Really hope P.Rice takes the interview beforehand, been years since I heard him say anything!:pac:

digme · 21-09-2010 12:37pm

Legia Warszawa vs. Arsenal 5 - 6

and that team was their reserves

everdead.ie · 21-09-2010 6:57pm

Fabianski wilshire nasri rosicky all start for arsenal.

Pepe LeFrits · 21-09-2010 6:59pm

rsenal: Fabianski - Eboue - Koscielny - Djourou - Gibbs - Denilson - Wilshere - Lansbury - Rosicky - Vela - Nasri

ffs, I can't believe JET isn't starting

A team of Passy McPassy midgets!

Fuzzy_Dunlop · 21-09-2010 7:02pm

Very strong team by Carling Cup standards.

Fabianski----
Eboue --Djourou -Koscielny -Gibbs

Rosicky-- Denilson
--Wilshere- Lansbury ---Nasri

Vela

bench: Almunia Sagna Clichy Arshavin Chamakh Eastmond JET

Suprised that he didn't start JET. Hopefully he'll get a decent run out. And no Sneezy even on the bench. :mad:

Where did you see that? None of those interest me, what's the rest of the team?

Pepe LeFrits · 21-09-2010 7:03pm

Hard to know who will play where in that team. 5 CMs plus Vela.

Oh yeah I've no idea who'll actually be playing where in midfield.

L'prof · 21-09-2010 7:05pm

Pity JET isn't starting.

everdead.ie · 21-09-2010 7:05pm

Pletikosa;
Naughton, Caulker, Bassong, Assou-Ekotto;
Bentley, Livermore, Palacios, Sandro, Giovani;
Pavlyuchenko.
4-5-1

SUBS: Cudicini, Hutton, Huddlestone, Jenas, Kranjcar, Lennon, Keane.

Pepe LeFrits · 21-09-2010 7:09pm

Livermore is being reported as starting for both teams. He must be some player.

Share the sentiment. Especially those I've emboldened. What the fuck is AW at? :eek:

Mr.Nice Guy · 21-09-2010 7:24pm

I was hoping Wenger would play Conor Henderson. Maybe if it wasn't Spurs.

Think Henderson has a knock anyway.

_Bella_ · 21-09-2010 7:41pm

Looking forward to this. Surprised at how strong the Arsenal team is. I think it shows though that Squillachi and the Verminator will be the first choice CB pairing. I would also say that Wilshere will probably not start this weekend.
