To me this cup doesn't really matter at all, but rather having the starters rested for the prem league matches does. Finishing top 4 should be the only thing on Arteta's mind.


We will be barely playing the second half of season.

Will be out this cup either way.


For example, we have two games in February. The 10th and 19th

I just want Saka, and Martinelli to get some rest for Spurs this weekend now. Please make some subs.

My thoughts still stand, if anything the lads will be run even more ragged now than had they been rested initially.

I cannot believe Xhaka was actually the captain of this team at one point. That is enough evidence to question whether Arteta is the right man for the job.

The next 2 January fixtures you either have to play Saka, Martinelli, ESR, Odegaard, Lokanga every minute, or you need to have Charlie Patino come on for serious minutes. Midfield was shown to be weak in the FA cup, they are incredibly thin, and now this joker is out the next 3 fixtures.

This match meant next to nothing, and now Xhaka's actions have seriously hurt them getting points against Spurs and Burnley in a desperate fight for top 4.

Xhaka is such a fricking idiot man.

What a clown. Now he gets to enjoy a month vacation only to come right back into the team when we play at Wolves on February 10th.

Well Xhaka fricked this up.

We’ve played two less games than normally would have.

They will be getting a huge rest in February.

There is no one else to play.

The bench….

Subs: Leno, Holding, Mari, Chambers, Tavares, Patino, Salah-Eddine, Hutchinson, Biereth.

Odegaard is probably out for Tottenham since he tested positive for COVID today.

Rumors of Arsenal trying to get Arthur on loan quickly. Need to register him by mid-day tomorrow in order for him to be available for Tottenham.

Azeez seems like he could be on his way back as well.

Understand that Arsenal have terminated Miguel Azeez’s loan with Portsmouth.

This is how I felt in the FA cup. After Lacazette came on there was literally not one single attacking option to bring on. This squad just has no quality depth currently.

Holding and Chambers have already come on, so Mari and Tavares can maybe come on for White/Gabriel and Tierney.

Hell of an effort from the rest of the squad. We need a midfielder signing ASAP.

Not sure on how true this is, but there are rumors the Sunday match could be postponed now with Xhaka suspended and Cedric injured. Might not have 13 senior players + keeper.

Guess it depends on if Odegaard is cleared of Covid by then, and whatever is going on with Tommy and ESR.

You've clearly not watched a Liverpool team under Klopp. We are beyond abysmal at breaking down 10 men.

Arsenal haven't exactly held their own when they go down a man, besides the City game recently. And they still lost that game.

In 263 minutes against 10 men, we've scored 3 goals, 2 of which were penalties.

Don't get me wrong, Arsenal were superb defensively. Especially with how much we switch the ball. Lesser teams' legs would've fallen off.

But Liverpool are atrocious attacking ten men.
