Eddie Johnson: Cardiff vs. Arsenal Feb 16, 2009. FA CUP [R]

Duck!

 

zero chance to start.. if anything he might make the bench and be a sub... he has mostly been a 85th minute sub lately... probably a reward from his coach for efforts in training and reserve matches.

 

Watch him put on the performance of his life.

 

If he does then I'm pretty sure that Arsene'll have to rethink his tactics. Maybe double-man marking perhaps.

 

I think EJ has zero chance. Cardiff brought Chopra back on loan and he is thought of very very highly at Cardiff.

I'm thinking Bothroyd and McCormack upfront with Chopra on the bench or some variation of that.

EJ just needs to pray for the Malmo move.

 

I don't think Quincy or Chopra can play in this match- it's a replay and neither were on the squad for the first match.. Chopra is Cup tied anyway.

 

Quincy can't play i'm sure the same for Chopra so EJ could see the bench. I don't think he'd get pt, unless someone was injured. He got what less than 2 minutes last time.

This could be one of his last chances though. With Chopra back EJ's chances are super slim unless there are injuries.

 

I've heard this could be Arsenal's starting lineup

Fabianski
sagna-djorou-gallas-clichy
JFW-song-denilson-nasri
bendtner-vela

Subs-almunia, RVP, eduardo, gibbs, toure, ramsey, randall

Game is 2:00 ET (2:45 KO) on Setanta USA. If you're recording, remember this is a replay so allow for extra time and penalties.

Wow thats late. Try and watch anyway. Seriously this could be EJ's last shot at pt. With Chopra back, his chances are beyond slim after this game.

 

Ugh... you just had to do that didn't you... second night in a row after the Milan derby last night, I'll negative rep you in the morning if I feel shitty ... just kidding!... but I don't know, I'm having second thoughts with this one... if Eddie's starting however...

Can't wait until the UK/Europe gets back on daylight savings time.. it'll mean earlier kickoff times.

 

You have about 45 minutes tell kickoff, take nap, watch the game, take another quick nap at halftime, watch second half then go to sleep.

 

EJ on the bench

 

http://www.nkora.net/channel-1.html very very good stream here, crystal clear.

 

eh it's not started yet has it? It's in half an hour no?

 

Pre game right now. Kickoff is at 2:45

 

Good so I can still get a power nap in then...

 

Confirmed that Johnson starts on the bench.

 

McCormack and Bothroyd up front. EJ on the bench (not surprising). I hope EJ gets into the game. With Chopra back at Cardiff EJ's chances are very slim after this game.

 

Just saw EJ on the bench.

 

Eduardo is the player who had that horrible injury last year ?
