Toon_Man 0 Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 I don't think Arsenal will put a strong team out. Wenger playing mind games with Hughton. Walcott and Koscielny will start though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deano 0 Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 I'd imagine we'd line up something similar too..... ---Krul--- ---Perch---Williamson---Kadar---Ferguson--- ---Raylor---Vuckic---Guthrie---Ranger--- ---Shola---Lovenkrands--- Kinda similar to the team that started against Chelsea. We COULD sneak a 1-0 or 2-1 win mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toon_Man 0 Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 You might be right. I really hope Perch doesn't line-up against Walcott though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom 13895 Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 On paper we are already beaten, realistically we will get beat, logically the best team will win, common sense dictates that will be Arsenal, all of which mean fuck all when Shola's got his shooting boots on.

ChezGiven 0 Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 Their second string could muller our first team, so I'm holding out absolutely zero hope on this one. Would love it but I see nothing but 0-3 here. Arsenal's squad better than Chelsea's or something? TicTacWoe got it. Squad, yes, I'd say. First XI, no. And I did say the same about Chelsea. I don't see the point in getting my hopes up. I'd much rather save my deluded optimism for the mackems game. Was reading something about Arsenal putting out a strong side while I expect us to try and keep our first team for Sunday. Eastland, Lansbury and Emmanuel-Thomas to start. Reserve goalie too. Think Bendtner and Walcott were mentioned on Sunday as definitely starting. Wenger has been bigging up Emmanuel-Thomas recently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like to see this team line-up.... GK: Krul RB: R. Taylor CB: Coloccini CB: Kadar LB: Enrique RM: Ranger CM: Tiote CM: Guthrie LM: Jonas ......SS: Vuckic CF: Shola Alternately, rest Enrique and play Ferguson at left back, or rest Jonas and play Ferguson at LM. Or, Ferguson at LM with Jonas on the right and Ranger on the bench. Coloccini and Williamson interchangeable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OTF 6274 Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 Routledge will probably play as he didnt against west ham. The fact that I'd completely forgotten about him probably says something about the way he's been playing of late. I'd like... Krul R. Taylor Coloccini Kadar Enrique Routledge Tiote Guthrie Jonas ......Vuckic Shola We might get... Krul R.

Guest WDP Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 Just bought 2 tickets for the Platinum the neet, wasn't gonna bother but fuck it, £25 each bit steep for the League Cup right near the goal line, beer £3.75 a pint in there like but I don't care, will be a magic night if we can get a result and then we can all start posting pics of Wembley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wavey Davey 0 Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 Would love to see them same team that outplayed chelsea for the majority of the last cup match, but I can't see it. 1-3 to Arsenal. With us scoring first and giving us too much belief. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holden McGroin 4990 Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 Despite Wenger bringing in a few youngsters, they are taking the competition seriously this year. Should be a decent game. They are playing a strong team by all accounts. Should be a good experience for Ferguson v Walcott and Vukic/Donaldson v their midfield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barney 0 Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 Black Keys gig tonight, so I'll only see the 1st hour or so. Just enough time for Ryan Taylor to score a couple of screamers with that long mopey-head of his. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brummiemag1 0 Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 Playing anything less than our strongest possible team is a complete disgrace in my opinion. If we win tonight we have decent chance of winning it or at least getting to the final. For me and most of Newcastle mates this game should be more important than the West Ham game last Saturday. Arsenal have not won a domestic trophy for 5 years so they are taking it seriously. We haven't won a domestic trophy for 55 years and we are not bothered. How shameful is that when potentially we are the bigger club. Its a joke - when the hell does it become acceptable to go for the cup. This represents a great chance of getting to the quarter finals and to play anything less than a full strength team is completely unacceptable. No wonder they are predicting a low crowd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love to see us make a real effort to win this cup but given our squad situation I don't think we can risk playing a full strength team tonight.

ChezGiven 0 Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 Perch starting but maybe not at RB? "I left James out of the game at West Ham, but, overall, he's done well for us," Hughton told the Gazette. "He's still getting used to playing at this level, and he gives us another option. "He can play across the back, at centre half and left back. He's certainly a versatile enough player." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
