Wenger told yesterday they would have basically played.
Koscielny is suspended for the next 2 games so Iâm surprised that he isnât involved.
Weâll win this one.
But weâll lose against Leicester on Friday.
But we won the Community Shield so who cares if we drop 3 points in the significantly more important Premier League.
A cheeky âlolâ from me at those who value this one as a trophy Just look at Wengerâs valuation of it, compared to some extra prep time for Leicester
League Cup >>>>>>>>>>> this
Would definitely prefer to protect our key players for the league. It is another good practice run with Kosc out for 1st game. But I donât understand Kolasinac on the bench. It would be nice to win, but a win here means nothing. I want to start the league well.
I just think (and this is more for the match thread v Leicester) that theyâre massively overdue a win against us. We tend to be losing records against those who we hold a âmonkey signâ over.
Couple this to the fact that itâs a home game, first game of the season and, I dunno, it just doesnât fill me with confidence
Except Ozil, Alexis, Ramsey etc arenât ready⌠Never played a team stronger than that in League Cup in recent years
Since this is an official FA certified cup final with a bonafide piece of silver plated steel up for grabs, MDC is open
Get the back 3 familiar again. Makes sense.
If the game were of particular importance, one or more of these would at least make the bench. Koscielny would be involved. Our best player Wally Walcott would be starting naturally.
Forgot to lock it
Conte couldnât even be bothered to wear a suit. Shows how much he truly values this game.
Opened.
Hahahahaha FUCK COCKS CHELSEA!!!
A truly deserved win. We should have killed it in the first half. Elneny, Xhaka, Kolasinac and Welbeck were all great.
Yet another trophy won at Tottenhamâs ground.
