Boring tie tbh, I wanted Juventus. We can beat anyone in this comp. is the route possible to face man u in final?
They have few interesting players Gonvalves Ugarte and Edwards all been linked to big moves. They lost porro to Sp**s in January so they more weaker.
Its interesting to face juve but believe me you don't want to face Allegri low blocks its annoying as hell and you can be sure he gonna fluke a goal against you.
If they play the way they did early this season they're favourites even if we're not at 100%, can't see Arteta start a full strength side at this point. They haven't looked nearly as good for a while now thankfully though.

They haven't played in Donetsk for nearly a decade. I was remembering Kyiv, but that went out of the window as well, obviously. I find it slightly mad that they are playing at all.

Hagn will tweet about them as “potential summer signings” when we play them no doubt

As premier league leaders we can beat anyone in the fa cup, bring on man city I say!
...oh
If the better teams play and knock one another out all the better for us. The harder the team we play, the less likely we are to rotate other than turner who will be a shoe in regardless.
I hope Vieira gets a start as a Portuguese team, would also like to see kiwi, Nelson, esr, Tierney etc get some minutes. I expect Saka to feature but really hope he is rested

Would like to see Kiwior start in these games in place of Gabriel.
Think he already posted about these guys lol. We were linked before

Arteta In by November
Country: USA
Player:Ødegaard
They are not even in their usual top 3 position. In fact they are 8 points off 3rd. So it's a decent draw for us.

We should be able to bring in Vieira, Trossard, Tomi, Tierney and use Jorginho probably and go through without any issue.

You can trust me on this, as Sporting is, literally, my team.
All it takes for Arsenal to go through is for Arteta not to do anything funny. Literally. Any decent XI by Arsenal should be enough to beat Sporting. I can't recall when was the last time Sporting actually had a decent game (not a result, a game).

Quoted so there is no backing out.
...in case they happen to play the best two matches of the season against us.

Very good draw, not the best but above average.
What's also nice is that United got Betis, who are 5th in La Liga.

We should run out the Lady Gunners to make a statement on gender equity and hope the Mancs make the final and lose

Would have liked Donezk - just because they have no real home advantage due to the games in Poland.
If we want to take the EL seriously, we need to play our 1st team to beat Sporting. Not because the individual quality isn't good enough, but because they nearly never play together in this formation.
Every time we have played our second team under Arteta, they haven't looked comfortable.

Looking for receipts 👀
Who never plays in this formation? Us?
You think formation and tactics are learned in matches, but the 5 days they train a week they play headers and volleys.
Tomi coming in at RB. Vieira coming in for Ødegaard. Trossard for Martinelli and maybe Holding for Saliba will know exactly how we play.
The team looked pretty comfortable against City in the FA Cup especially the first half. So I really have no idea what you are on about.
