If Gibbs is selected tonight it will be interesting to see how he responds. I think Webgers comments regarding our defenders poor jumping was aimed at him. It was more a cowardly duck than an attempt to jump for the ball on Zagreb's second goal.
Hope someone gave Gibbs a wake-up call for it.

I would expect Debuchy, Gibbs and Arteta to perform better than they did last week, should they get the chance again this week.

Really? I would be nervous to see all 3 in away to spurs after last week. I think the injuries have taken there toll on Arteta, Debuchy has struggled after his double injury and hasnt got going since.

Gibbs is just Gibbs, lacking severly in confidence

Arteta, even when at the top of his game always seemed slow when returning from injury so I'm hoping for an improvement on last week, Gibbs and Debuchy are both better players than they showed last week - so yeah really.

Time will tell - 4 hours in fact!

Well they certainly can't perform any worse that's for sure. So the only way is up

I try not to be negative about our lads, but I have to agree with this.

I couldn't be a fan for very long if I felt that negatively. Yes the team sometimes let us down but I'm generally optimistic come game time again.

This I agree with if Dean was looking right at what Costa did and missed it then I would say yes he needs a demotion or something but he can only go with what he sees and Gabriel reacted (regardless of how slight it is) and under the rules that is a red. I do not like the rule I think it should be changed to severity of the reaction. Blaming Dean is not going to cut it for the match before the red Chelsea while not great looked the more likely to get anything and your players should be not getting hot and bothered.

It was Costa ye knew he would throw a wobble that would get him sent off but ill discipline to just walk away was the reason for the red

Can you quote the rule?

I can be negative during games when players are performing poorly, and then once the game has finished as well, but come game time again I prefer to see the positives.

Never heard of Dory disease before but if that matches the symptoms then yes!

Hand up can't find the rule thought it was there my bad. If the replays which Deans do not have may I add prove Gabriel innocent then I am glad it has been rescinded. I still stand by Arsenal playing the victim in games Dean referees as the reason ye loose or draw are a bit whiney unless of course he directly stopped a ball from going in the oppositions nets or scores against you and stopped your defenders goalkeeper from stopping it. Is he crap yes

Its not your fault thought. Pundits constantly coming out with shite like "the rules say you cant raise your hands..." Eh, no they dont Jamie/Alan/Robbie. Best go check the rules and do what you're paid for.

Oh my god I can't watch that video.
Total cringe fest.

Yer one though.

Ospina; Debuchy, Mertesacker, Chambers, Gibbs; Arteta, Flamini; Oxlade-Chamberlain, Ramsey, Campbell; Giroud

Our spine tonight.

tayto lover

No pace in that team at all.

Alfred Borden

Not confident at all with that team but hope I'm wrong. Total back up team with the exception of Ramsey.

Quazzie

That Spurs chick would have more than a cock on just her chest if....


well I think you know the rest goes.


Not positive about tonight, but to be honest I don't care. I used to like the League Cup back when we used to play our young players, but we're playing too much of our first team tonight to think like that. My own personal belief is that it should be a U21 team tournament of a full strength tournament. Playing a weakened first team like tonight will help no one.

3 first team players is too much?

How will it not help anyone?? It will help everyone of our second choice players. Just like last week would have brought on Debuchy, Gibbs and Arteta. Players like that need these games. It's vital for them and in turn competition within the squad.

With the exception of Flamini, Arteta, and Campbell they are all first team players who play regularly and some even start regularly.

If they get beaten bad by Spurs, which is highly possible with this team, it will do more bad than good. I just don't see the point of this team.

There's only 3 regular starters in the team though, the rest haven't been regular starters for a while now. This is their chance to get a run out. Nothing wrong with that.

Its a must win game though against a big rival. If we were at home to some lower league team, I wouldnt mind it.

No match thread? Or are the spurs fans lurking in their special forum?

Very poor game so far. We are still lacking sharpness.

Hopefully Giroud keeps targeting Fazio. He is useless

Our new striker!

tayto lover

More like it. How did Flam get there?

Alfred Borden

get in! most unlikely goal scorer

Marcus Antonius

Yay! Doubt many backed Flamini as first goal scorer.

I hope Flamini is gonna teach Walcott and Sanchez how to do that.

Bobby Baccala

Good oul Flamini!

Great battling Campbell.

Alfred Borden

Well in Campbell. Nice play.

tayto lover

Campbell showing a lot of energy.

Kirby

Danny Rose is getting an absolute ton of space. Where is the midfield cover?

greendom

Debuchy is absolutely not at the races
