League Cup | Arsenal vs. Doncaster Rovers | 20 Sep 2017 - 19:45

[albakos]

This is a match where no first team player should be involved.

Macy
Holding - Chambers - Plezeguelo
Wilshere - AMN - Elneny
Walcott - Jeff - Nelson
Akpom
​

I assume Sanchez might get around 15 minutes to build on his fitness.

Should be an interesting test for youngsters who want to show their worth and also a good chance for Wilshere to further build on his fitness, as well as Walcott to wear the armband

 

[Mark Tobias]

Definitely. I want to see youngsters involved in this with some options on the bench to salvage the game should we need it.

 

[{reed}]

Giroud
Nelson - Walcott
LWB - Wilshere - Elneny - RWB
Chambers - Mert - Holding
Ospina

I want to see something close to our EL team, 1-2 games in the League Cup won't make any difference for the kids.

 

[tcahill]

I'd like Giroud to start this one, just to keep him sharp. I doubt Akpom is ever going to make it as an Arsenal player, don't see the point in playing him.
Its also a good chance to get Holding's confidence back up.

-------------Giroud
----------Iwobi-Nelson
AMN-Elneny-Wilshere-Debuchy
----Chambers-Per-Holding
---------------Macey

Do we have anyone who can play LWB/LB besides Kola and Monreal? I'd rather play AMN next to Wilshere but I don't know any other options. Jeff perhaps?

 

[redwhiteAustrian]

No first team players for this please, we have more important games to come after this.

It's September/October, after all we have to build our annual momentum before collapsing in November.

 

[FinnGooner]

Giroud, Walcott, Per and Jack could use the minutes. Otherwise we should play the kids

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

All I care is Nelson Willock has to start this hopefully chambers get some game time too

 

[Penn_]

If the selection is anything like the EL then we need to be using 4231 for the start. Hopefully Monreal and Bellerin are both completely rested, don't need to be playing them into the ground already.

 

[Sniper Mik]

Is this match gonna be televised?

 

[hydrofluoric acid]

AMN and Nelson should start this game. Chambers, Holding, Iwobi should start also.

Bellerin and Monreal should be rested.

 

[albakos]

With Welbeck's injury, forget that Giroud will be risked here.

Plus it would be a huge non-ocassion for him to celebrate goal #100 if he would to score

 

[rich 1990]

No poll, reported.

We have this then a break to Monday when we play WBA before travelling to Bate on Thursday. Whoever scheduled the WBA game for Monday should be dragged out into the street and shot.

You're feeling lenient today.

 

[rich 1990]

You're feeling lenient today.

I forgot to put in the head, multiple times.

 

[field442]

Ospina, Chambers, Holding, Mertesacker, Debuchy, Maitland-Niles, Wilshere, Elneny, Walcott, Nelson, Nketiah.

Expecting that be the team. Ideally Maitland-Niles plays next to Wilshere but we don't have anyone to play LWB so he'll have to play there.

 

[Makingtrax]

These matches are potential banana skins. Chelsea lost 2-4 at home to Bradford.

Wenger needs to keep winning to build momentum and play the Europa league team.

Need Chambers instead of Monreal at CB, and Debuchy instead of Bellerin . . . . . where the **** is he? The invisible man.

That was in the FA Cup. Even worse!

 

[Santi's Left Foot]

Ospina, Chambers, Holding, Mertesacker, Debuchy, Maitland-Niles, Wilshere, Elneny, Walcott, Nelson, Nketiah.

We have Bramall don't we, is he fit? I too would like to see A M-N along side Wilshere.

 

[A_G]

We have Bramall don't we

He's on loan at Birmingham.
