Endo

Knew i was forgetting someone.

What's wrong with Virg ?

Not risking him ahead of his transfer to man u.

[LovelyCushionedHeader]

No doubt Klopp will get hammered on here by some if we pick up any injuries. Pathetic.

Same people that complain when we struggle after not playing for a while. We haven't played for 6 days and have 10 days off after our next match.

Professional defect.
I’m a UX designer and this is basically pissing in the face of your users. Truly shit idea.

United started doing this and then we followed suit. Curious to know who made the call cause it's fucking wank.

cup tied as our fax machine broke down before we could hit V

Klopp in shocking decision to select footballers to play a football match. Some people will never be happy.

[disgraced cake]

I thought Van Dijk would play ahead of Konate but if he's ill might as well just rest up for Wednesday.

Had expected Jota and Gravenberch to start, imagine they'll get off a very young bench at some stage.

jolly decent of you to say that 

[Wabaloolah]

Jeez that bench is fucking light. Does any other teams end up with a bench like ours after a few injuries?

think it's 10.players unavailable, what did you expect

[Hedley Lamarr]

There are honestly more important games than a 3rd round FA Cup game, sorry. If we pick up an injury today, you’ll be changing your tune at FT I'm sure.

Right, and if a bunch of kids get tanked 6-0 you’d be the first here moaning about that.

In fairness does it really matter what way the line-up is listed? You see the names and you know where they play. Everyone knows how we line up.

[rawcusk8]

Shit bench.. only 10 first teamers out injured, no excuses should be doing better, Jurgen has a lot to answer for.

[Fitzy.]

Ibe still cup tied?

[Crosby Nick]

Gakpo and Elliott is a bit of a mystery possibly.

[Father Ted]

If Arsenal are wearing all white why can’t we wear red instead of this purple monstrosity? (Not the most important element of the game I know.)

[Fitzy.]

Illness

How sick is he?

they are in white as a nod to an anti-knife campaign so wearing red ....

Tell that to the fans who have spent good money and travelled down to London on a Sunday for a late kick off. Injuries are part of the game as always it's about balancing and they will continue to do this throughout the next few months.

[Cafe De Paris]

Come on the mighty purple men.

[rob1966]

So Konate and Nunez at CB and Diaz left back?

That’ll fool Captain Scarlett.

Nah, he's Captain Black

[Mighty_Red]

Shame VVD is out but pretty much full strength otherwise. Beeb showing Gakpo in midfield and Elliott in Salahs position. Looks odd but I reckon there will be a fair amount of movement.

Hopefully we can get through now we're going all out for it. A draw would be a terrible result so we might as well just go for it!

COMON U REDMEN!!!

[rob1966]

they are in white as a nod to an anti-knife campaign so wearing red ....

Yep, the campaign is called "No More Red" and we've been praised for wearing purple and not red.

[xbugawugax]

How sick is he?

sick enough that klopp doesnt want to test his resolve

[TipTopKop]

Not risking him ahead of his transfer to man u.

NOoooooooooooooo

[Andy @ Allerton!]

Expecting Saka to boot our players up and down just like the game at Anfield with the officials 'fine with it' all game.

[Dr. Beaker]

Jusstwattem.

[Tonyh8su]

BBC or AFTV? Hard to know.

People don't like the purple kit? Thought it was fairly smart.

[Father Ted]

Yep, the campaign is called "No More Red" and we've been praised for wearing purple and not red.

Oh, fair enough.

[Andy @ Allerton!]

BBC or AFTV? Hard to know.

BBC if the commentators can do their job and just report on the match

Anything other than Che Nevobilo is a bonus to be honest

[Studgotelli]

No doubt Klopp will get hammered on here by some if we pick up any injuries. Pathetic.

Why would he get hammered?

[TipTopKop]

If we go through happy days, if we don't, then it's good to find out early in the competition and lessen the fixture load on our squad.

[Andy @ Allerton!]

Imagine doing amazing in your community and having to accept an Arsenal shirt.

Why would he get hammered?

No

[Studgotelli]

Hopefully we get through unscathed, I just think this will be a distraction later in the season if we’re challenging for the league to be totally honest.

[Andy @ Allerton!]

If we go through happy days, if we don't, then it's good to find out early in the competition and lessen the fixture load on our squad.

.. is also the way I'm looking at it. Be nice, but not the end of the world if we don't progress.

Would like to get to the final of the LC though given where we are in it and then give the kids the experience at Wembley (If we get there)

[Wabaloolah]

I know it's for a good cause but white numbers on a white shirt!

[stockdam]

VVD and obviously Salah missing is a big loss for us.
