Fenham Mag Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 Lovenkrands will be a definite starter. Possibly him and Xisco up top which will be interesting. Just hope Xisco isn't distracted by PL's girth. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 Krul R. Taylor S. Taylor Kadar Perch Routledge Guthrie Smith Ferguson Ranger Lovenkrands Xisco, Vuckic and Best given runs at some stage if we can. Also, if the highly ambitious inclusion of Steven Taylor is too soon for him, bring one of Coloccini/Williamson in. Ty and give them a half each, first and foremost. Ideally I'd like to rest all of the outfield starting XI for next week, as the Mackems have a free midweek, but with Campbell injured it's difficult at centre-back unless Hughton fancies Perch in the middle, Ferguson back at LB and one of Vuckic/Xisco coming in. What's wrong with Tavernier, injured? Would be surprised to see him get a look in with the senior defenders we have fit, he's no more of a centre-half than Perch is really. This selection is more what I'd expect to see than what I'd want to see, for the record. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
OzzieMandias Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 If we've got a "development squad", and I'm glad we're looking at the reserves that way rather than as a kind of bin for players who don't quite make it, I definitely want to see them being developed. These League Cup games are the only opportunity to give our young bucks a run-out in a game that actually means something. And playing against Arsenal's second string gives them something to measure themselves against. Be mad, though, if we play our inexperienced developers, and Arsenal come out with all guns blazing.

Newcastle Fan Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 I'd like to see this: Krul Raylor Campbell/Taylor Kadar Ferguson Ranger Smith Guthrie Xisco Vuckic Lovenkrands Or have Vuckic as CM and Ranger/Lovenkrands upfront. Also not really convinced with Shane Ferguson as LB, he worked really hard to put the performance he put against Chelsea, seems a much better LM imo.

Newcastle Fan Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 He did but it just didn't seem like his natrual position for me, he did good because he played his heart out that day but personally i don't see his playing like that every game in this position.

Merseyside Mag Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 Put it this way, Arsenal NEED to win something this season. And i think this is the competition they have the best chance in doing so, so we need be on our game for the 90 mins. I just watched the city game, yes city had 10 men, but Arsenal were class. However, the centre of defence looked a bit dodgey with through balls on the deck. Long balls in the air, they had every time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taylor Swift Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 Arsenal are taking the CC seriously this year. They'll start a few of their big names and coast to a 2-0 win, imo. We should start the same team that beat Chelsea away. Give a few of the kids a chance, play some of the seniors who haven't played enough and see how it goes.
