FA Cup I Nottingham Forest v Arsenal I 7/1/18 I 4pm GMT | BT Sport

Hah, how wrong was I?

I really wish Wenger would NOT play Nelson at RWB, it's so disappointing. At least he's playing though so whatever. Glad Willock's starting too, really glad - although not sure what's happened to Coquelin then!

Iwobi has a chance to build up some form. I don't like that forward line though. Firstly, Nelson should be in it. Secondly, Walcott is the only one that looks like he'll score out of that 3.

Still, I'm glad we have a somewhat interesting lineup!

 

[Axel9090]

Mediocre lineup at best.

 

[krengon]

Wish it was 4 at the back..

Debuchy Per Holding AMN
Willock Elneny Iwobi
Nelson Walcott Welbeck

 

[hydrofluoric acid]

Was hoping Sheaf would make the bench but fine line-up!

 

[Bergkamp a Dutch Master]

Wenger is allowing Walcott, a player who has no future at the club, to play in a position where one of our future talents should be developing. Awful.

Why the f**k Nelson playing as RWB. Wenger really not trying to improve him playing him there just waste of Nelson time

Walcott will have a future again on the wing... when Alexis leaves. Its unfortunate.

 

[Makingtrax]

Wenger ought to rest as many key players as possible for this. Top 4 should be our priority, not the FA Cup. Refs have taken 4 points off us recently and we need to get them back.

FACups are like smarties in our trophy cabinet and our fans don't give them any credit anyway.

Wonder if Wenger reads AM?

 

[Tir Na Nog]

Happy to see Nelson and Willock get their chances today, hope they impress.

 

[CurryFlavoured]

Nelson and AMN wing back...

Predictable but I'd like to see them with less defensive responsibility. Mainly Nelson.

 

[Axel9090]

Nelsons contract is up in 2019. I wouldnt be surprised if he ****ed off elsewhere so he can display and improve upon his talent in his natural position.

Just have to hope Nelson still has a very positive attacking performance. But I just feel he's really handicapped by this role, can't attack with the fervor he normally does. Has to look over his shoulder every two mins and play it safe just in case.

I just want him to get on the ball and take players out on the dribble without worrying about that, that's what he's good at. And getting into shooting positions too. Hope he still does that today.

Excited about Willock though, he's got all the tools to be a perfect all-round midfielder.

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

Lol Armand Traore play for Nottingham what a s**t full back when he was here

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

Also surprised Wenger not taking this cup seriously enough looking at our bench it's so youth

 

[Bergkamp a Dutch Master]

Wonder if Wenger reads AM?

nah.
He only reads his own book. And probably thinks ' smart guy wrote this'.

 

[Lookin' for a new Baby]

I don't think it's that, I think he thinks we can beat Forest with a very weakened line up. They'll be gobsmacked when Forest actually turn up beyond their expectations.

Forest are playing a pretty young team themselves. Lots of academy players. It's not their strongest lineup.

lol

classic Arsenal can't manage contract situation even with the academy players.
