Fantastic .

Think I'd put Boubacar in the team and put whichever of the midfielders he thinks is best up front rather than Fraser. His confidence is already rock bottom, playing against the best centre half partnership in the country isn't going to improve it. Then Hwang on at ht for whoever he sees fit. Or start Hwang and do that for the second half.

I'd definitely give Bouba a go up front given the alternatives, he's quick, athletic and doesn't play with any fear, at worst the Arsenal back line would know they're in a game.

January window just proving again and again how incompetent our front office currently is.

Not checked if this is Judah bantz or a genuine GO comment

I'd play Bouba as well. I'd like him to get some decent game time ahead of next season, even if he ends up going out in loan. Sitting on the bench is doing him no good really.

 

[Tony Towner]

Even with a decently built, balanced squad of 19 competent outfield players supplemented with kids you'd say we are down to the bare bones with 7 of those players unable to start. Not sure what the level beyond that is.

 

[Sniffer]

Did he say what was wrong with Cunha and Semedo?

He did say that

The lad who was on the bench at Newcastle (RB, forget his name) is still at school

 

[sycophantia]

Well, optimistic me was hoping for a City type performance, now after the presser, I'm thinking my 1-3 prediction is looking wildly naive.

 

[Jinky]

Can't we play Doc up front?

1. He's not bad in the air
2. We're not going to get out of our own half anyway

 

[Kenny]

Did he say what was wrong with Cunha and Semedo?

Cunha calf injury - Out for a week or 2
Semedo - Also a calf injury

Cunha out for 1 to 2 weeks

Whenever you think we're as cooked as we're going to get, we manage to contrive a way to get even more cooked.

 

[sycophantia]

I know its mostly our own fault for having such a small squad and flogging our players to death but fucking hell we've been unlucky since Xmas with injuries.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Shame we're past the deadline for registering free agents. Could have put calls in to Dave Edwards, Lee Naylor, Helder Costa and finally given Bully his game in the PL

Not like you can narrow down which 17yo it is either, they're will be a full bench of them.

It's not luck, it's a direct consequence of trying to play a full PL season with such a tiny squad.

What is worse

Our available squad in a game that means nothing to us v a team wanting to win the League or in an FA Cup Semi Final where we have paid a small fortune to attend and dreams of returning to spend a bigger fortune and then have to sulk over an £8 pint of piss in the shitty bars around the Stadium.

Would've been nice to have that option instead of being fucked over by a shithead named Jeff Shi.
