WIN FA Cup 5th Round: Mansfield Town 1 - 2 Arsenal | Saturday, March 7 | 12:15 GMT | TNT Sports

They should get a few days off imo. This is the time to do so.

Play the B team against Mansfield and give the starters a one week rest before Leverkusen.

Where is Lewis Skelly and why he didn’t play today?

He was suspended

Sounds like the pitch being so bad also factored in to the decision to take them off.

We took them off quickly didn't want to take risks with this pitch.

 

[Synical]

Is this the first team we've played this season that don't hate our guts?

[Rasmi]

Too many Arsenal fans in this Mansfield team

Messi wouldn’t be near the player he was under Mikel, because he would played as a touchline winger for his whole career. His height and lightweight wouldn’t allow Arteta to play him as 10 or false 9 like he did for Barcelona.

mikel also wouldn be able to dope him up properly like he was at barca

I'm struggling to think who should we start against Leverkusen as LW neither Martinelli or Trossard doing themselves any favours. Eze is not LW.

Think Arteta will go with Martinelli again because he love to preform in this competition

Martinelli has been elite in the CL this season tbf.

Merino is injured, MLS banned, Nwaneri on loan. It’s not that bad imo.

Between the three of them, none have been deployed in central midfield by Arteta - Merino as a left 10 (except Portsmouth), Nwaneri as a right 10 and MLS as a left back. I’m talking about someone who can set the tempo and control possession. Elliot Anderson would be high on my list for summer.

That's literally why he bought Zubimendi He ain't gonna go & buy someone else after shelling out on him, he was chasing him for years.

Aww... I like these guys. I wish them very best

 

[dino bravo]

Yeah they did themselves proud today I must say. Impressive performance, hard to believe they are struggling in league one. Wish them well.

 

[Iwobeast]

Sounds like was just precautionary

Cala out and about signing autographs. Cute to see the guys out and signing for the kids until that blimp @OnlyOne asks Gyok to autograph the sign he'll hang in his bedroom in his nan's basement.

Ødegaard is injured? When is Merino expected back?

Ode had knee issue since Brentford game been in and out of the team Merino likely early May will be back
