Alert: Arsenal versus Manchester City EFL Cup Final 2/25

Hope the fellas can do it

 

Let's do it boys.

 

I guess i'm excited Arsenal are playing in a cup final. But I don't think i'll feel that strongly whichever way the result goes.

 

We are such long-shot underdogs, this might just be grrrrrrrrreat!

Or....

 

Cities form not great, we are a big show here if our players can be bothered turning up.

 

Teams:

Arsenal (3-4-2-1) Ospina; Koscielny, Mustafi, Chambers; Bellerin, Xhaka, Wilshere, Monreal; Ozil, Ramsey; Aubameyang.
Substitutes: Cech, Kolasinac, Mertesacker, Elneny, Maitland-Niles, Iwobi, Welbeck.

Manchester City (4-1-2-3) Bravo; Walker, Otamendi, Kompany, Danilo; Fernandinho; De Bruyne, Gundogan; D Silva, Aguero, Sane.
Substitutes: Ederson, Stones, Laporte, B Silva, Zinchenko, Foden, Jesus.

Are we playing a 3-5-2?

 

Yup 3-5-2 probably... and what was recommended by several pundits.

Their XI is very strong. It could be men against boys. But maybe we can exploit a few weak links like Bravo or Kompany.

I've decided this match deserves a visit to the pub. So I'm off!

 

Interesting lineup/formation. 3 CB and 2 FBs. Seems like we are going defensive. Xhaka, Ramsey, Wilshere & Ozil all playing so it also looks like AW really wants to control the midfield. Unless Ramsey & Ozil are instructed to push high. Interesting for sure.

 

I just hope Monreal has the luxury to get forward. He's been our most potent striker of late. When i first saw the lineup my heart sank a bit not seeing his name. But there it was, right at the end... between wilshere and ozil!

 

And if chambers is awful, bring in per... for another cup final masterpiece!

 

So ESPN is definitely just broadcasting a livestream, right? The picture quality and frame rate is terrible.

 

This is awful. It's like watching a flip book.

 

Had to check on here to make sure my TV wasn't stroking out.

Nice finish, Pierre.

 

Why can no one on our team take a corner kick? And how does Xhaka kit it so far it lands almost outside the box?

 

Another question - why does Xhaka take 'em from that corner? Surely, Mesut could do better.

 

Nacho deserved the yellow.

 

What the ******** Mustafi?

 

Kub might have been offside. But, yeah, Mustafi effed up.

 

Mustafi is just horrid...

Barring a miracle .. this game is over

 

I'd still like to see where Aguero was when Bravo played the long ball, but I guess whoever's directing the live stream has already moved on.

 

Can’t be offside from a goal kick. It’s like we didn’t know the rules.

 

Apparently neither do I!

 

Kola on for Nacho. My previous hopes are now well and dashed.

 

Gunners are getting some chances, It wouldn't be impossible to pull one back.
