Arsenal V Newcastle- FA Cup 4th Round.

[RocktheCasbah]

Apparently, we got knocked out of a Cup Competition last night.

Well, there's another one coming up this Saturday. I'm going to it, so it'd be rather nice to be 3-0 up after 48 minutes.
In fact, a bit of family history will bve made for me, as I'm going with my uncle (his first time at AG) and his son, so for the first time 3 generations of our family will be at the Arsenal.

What are your thoughts, line up predictions and score predictions for Saturday?

(Please no Theo, Arsène).

--------------------Lehmann

Hoyte---Senderos----Gallas----Clichy

Walcott---Flamini---Cesc----Rosicky

------------Adebayor----Eduardo

Subs:

Fabianski
Sagna
Gilberto
Hleb
Bendtner

 

[Macho]

Why not Theo? I mean next to Eddy or Adebayor its not the worst thing in the world?

 

[Lancelot]

Playing @ home sweet home, full strength squad and the fact that we've shown it before how well we can perform with all the first teammers around after a disappointing defeat, I say 3-0 or 3-1 depending on how well Senderos perform as an individual.

 

[Lukazan]

No Diaby please. NO ****ING DIABY.

That's all I'll say.

 

[Alfonso]

This match must NOT go to a replay, thats all I got to say as well.

 

[Zico]

We have two matches against Newcastle. We MUST play very strong teams in both games. We can give some players rest in both games, but must maintain a core. This weekend's result is important because a victory will put us 4 games from silverware.

Thus:

------------------Almunia----------------------

Sagna----Senderos---Gallas----Clichy

Walcott--Fabregas--Flamini--Rosicky

------------Adebayor----Eduardo---------

Lehmann, Hoyte, Gilberto, Denilson, Bendtner

A first team squad. Walcott is protected by Sagna, Fabregas and Ade. Later on, we can bring Flamini off for Gilberto. Give Hleb a rest and let him replace Rosicky in the league game against Newcastle.

 

[True Gooner]

No Diaby.

No Replay

No injuries/suspensions

No losing

 

[arsenalfc0719]

NO Diaby and NO Walcott, thats all I've got to say.

 

[Macho]

No Diaby.

No Replay

No injuries/suspensions

No losing

Thats a tall order.
Whats the minimum you would take? 3/4?

Newcastle surely must be up for this 10 fold now. All perfectly set up for their resurgance under Keegan- giving them more excuse to suck his willie and call him Messiah.
Oh how I would love to do in those northern ****s.

Nevertheless, anything but no replay and futher injuries/suspensions will do for me. Personally don't care who plays. As long as the job gets done.

 

[MDGoonah41]

I can only see one squad for this, though I'm sure Le Boss will see a different one..

Not losing, no injuries and suspensions and no replay...I could survive Diaby....

[HollandGooner]

Well, why whe would rest some big names no for me there is no time for that one and the full team need alot of matches right now because there where enough matches where they not have competing in.

Page 3 is quite optimistic. Give it another 2 hours.

 

[stuart]

Walcott-------------------------------------Diaby
--------------Adebayor---------Bendtner-------

Looks good to me


Seriously though, this is a massive game. We must win this if you ask me. Going out of 2 cups in a week is never good and not good for confidence. Whereas winning this game (preferably in style) would banish at least some of last nights memories and send a signal to everyone else that we still mean business. I'd go for a full strength team.

 

[Lukazan]

Anyone watch Eastenders on Monday?

 

[tactica442]

I can only see one squad for this, though I'm sure Le Boss will see a different one..
-------------------- Mad German ---------------------
--- Sagna -- Gallas --- Senderos ---- Clichy --
--- Rosicky ---- Cesc ---- Flamini --- Hleb ----
------------ Adebayor ----------- Eduardo ---------

I will go for MDGooner41's lineup.

And Wenger pleasse no Gilberto on the bench.

I hope the team can win this game nice and neat. A 1-0 boring victory over Keegan's sidewill do good. No upset, and no replay. The last thing I want is a replay.

 

[gunner321]

Full strength squad, no messing around, good performance and a win is what we need for this game.

Show the rest of them how this team now reacts after a set-back.
