Well this years Carling Cup is something which is really proving to be surprising for us Gooners. Mainly due to the fact that the boss has started fielding comparatively stronger sides than before…and, hmmmm, I guess that’s about it.

Regarding injuries : There are no new injuries to be added to the already crowed casualty list !!!

Predicted Line-up:

——————————————————–SZCZESNY————————————————————

—EBOUE———————–DJOUROU———————-SQ18—————————–GIBBS———–

———————————–DENILSON———————SONG————————————————–

——————————————————–JACK————————————————————-

–THEO—————————————————————————————————VELA——–

——————————————————–RVP—————————————————————-

SUBS: LUKE, CLICHY, SONG, ROSICKY, NASRI, ARSHAVIN, NIKKO.

The dutch-man need some game-time and so I recommend he start up front with Theo and Vela. Both of whom require some confidence, although the former would need it more as he plays more than the latter. Luke needs a rest, and Szczesny should get a chance. Denilson, Song and Jack* should all play, giving Rosicky, Arshavin and Nasri some well deserved rest after the game at Villa Park.

* he should play as the guy is 18, and can develop further, subject to not getting tired very easily.

No predictions from my side, as every time I do that, we **** up !

Cheers,

THE ARMOURY
