Loss EFL Cup 3rd Round: Arsenal 1 - 3 Brighton And Hove Albion | Wednesday 9th November | KO: 19:45 GMT | No Streams, Stop Asking For One

Play the kids.

That's what Wenger would do.

Not sure tomiyasu is fit, Cedric should play I guess even though it doesn't look likely.

 

[boonthegoon]

This is Eddie's favorite competition. Hope he gets his shooting boots back.

 

[Riou]

"And it's Welbeck!!!"

"A lot of second half pressure from Arsenal...but after Holding's early first half OG, that might seal it for Brighton here"

"And this early League Cup exit will surely put Mikel Arteta's future as Arsenal manager into serious doubt!"

 

[Sapient Hawk]

Put the Under 9's in. I don't want to see a single professional take the field!! The lads need much needed rest before we travel to Molineux.

No one gives a sh*t about this, hopefully soon-to-be-scrapped, third rate cup.

 

[field442]

Rest everyone.

 

[Wilhelm Fink]

Hope we'll lose this one, next.

 

[Blood on the Tracks]

Give the kids and squad players a go. No starting 11 players at all.

Hopefully it gives a few of them a chance to impress.

I will lose zero hours sleep if we go out.

Hopefully Matt Smith gets his debut. The lad must be pushing 30 by now

 

[TheGreatWright8]

Hopefully no first teamers are out there in this lol knowing arteta lol

It's such a weird thing when you think about it, I don’t think there's any other country that has 2 domestic cups like England has for whatever reason.

Nelson-------Nketiah-------Marquinhos
----------Vieira----Lokonga
---------------Elneny
Tierney---Gabriel---Holding-----Cedric
--------------Ramsdale

Not many combinations out there, so would be a stop start performance. If Brighton start their first team they'll beat us I think.

Last I remembered, Ligue un and Portuguese league still have two domestic cups.

Besides, it's a money spinner for the poorer clubs and the non-league sides. It's just a mild irritation to the big clubs. Don't think there's enough interest from everyone to scrap it tbh.

Do we have any promising CBs coming through the academy? Feel like Gabriel should be nowhere near this game, he's played a lot of minutes so far this year. Good lineup otherwise.

The fact that it exists, especially in the modern PL age, is nonsense.

Removing it will actually restore the FA Cup's prestige & make it again THE cup competition it once was.

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

What a useless competition this is. Anyway rest everyone even if mean we going out. Winning this competition mean guarantee spot in europa conference league ffs this how useless it's.

That’s the FA Cup. This is literally the League Cup.

 

[Haphazard]

play the u-21 team and tell them whenever they lose a duel Arteta is upset!

Winning breeds winning - John Wooden

Play a few first teamers in this one and cut through Brighton.

 

[GLITCH]

Is Smith any good? We've already seen what Lokonga can/can't do.

Oh my bad. But the financial largese for poor clubs is still significant enough to keep some of them afloat especially when they're drawn against a PL side.
