To be fair Song's assist is quite delicious to watch as well, cutting through their mids and backs like butter.

He delivered a few defence splitting passes that season. The one that led to Van Persie's winner at Anfield being my favorite.

...one for the older fans...Arsenal finally defeat Leeds in the 1991 FA cup, after THREE replays...four games, amazing!


...Also, love Limpar's goal in the first replay.

Because we have little options to rotate for this game? He's here, might as well try and get some use out of him, even if it's to give Xhaka/Torreira a breather.

The cups are a distraction now anyway

Play kids for the exposure

You say rotate and then you include Leno, AMN, Luiz, Saka and Nelson? Players that have played at least 3 of the last 4?
:)
Yeah there is absolutely no way we play Luiz, AMN and Saka. We are down to bare bones in defense. Nelson I don't know, he would have time to recover and he badly needs a goal for his confidence.

I'd play:

Martinez
Bellerin (if fit) Holding (if fit) Mustafi Bola
Guendouzi Ceballos
Nelson Willock ESR
Martinelli (if fit)

If there are players who haven't recovered yet, it definitely makes it more difficult, but I'd rather play Mustafi right back and Mavropanos, than risk AMN.
 
I would go full strength. This is a competition we can challenge for. Leeds are a decent side, this this a chance for us to build momentum.

Be nice to have a cup run. So excited now for every game. Will the kids be able to play two halves of football the Arteta way? I can see Nelson having a stormer. Got a feeling we're going to see the youngsters run riot like we used to see in cup games under Wenger.

Can't wait to watch some Northerners slap you soft Southern bastards about. We're taking over London.

The league isn't exactly out of reach, though unlikely. Also, don't forget about Europa being our best chance of scraping into the CL.

we have won the FA Cup more than any other side - if we don't respect the competition, who will? the loyal fans deserve no less

I absolutely respect the FA cup. But it's not going to help our maintenance and recruitment. We need CL football.

Mixture of youth and experience for this. Can’t afford to take Leeds too lightly, they got enough about them to make things difficult. Especially with the Bielsa factor.


Martinez
Bellerin - Holding - Sokratis - Saka
Guendouzi - Willock
Ceballos
E-S-R —— Martinelli
