"Swindon hammer 4:39 - Why would you want someone who constantly give the ball away constantly holds on to the ball for to long and constantly falls to the floor faking that he’s been fouled sitting in front of our centre backs?,a holding midfielder is suppose to protect the centre backs not leave them vulnerable and exposed ffs.You can’t play Paqueta there ."

[Mad Dog]

"Got a feeling it will be like that scene out of the office ""There's been a rape up there"""

[New Jersey]

"4/6 - Arsenal to win the tie, surely printing money!"

[The Fonz]

Hoping for a typical West Ham result on Wednesday. Lose against the teams we expect to beat and then beat a harder team when we expect to lose. The players better be up for it as I think the atmosphere if we start well will be decent.

[Vexed]

"To be fair to Moyes he doesn't like losing, he just happens to be really fucking good at it. This is a write off already, we will be arse raped by three or 4 by their second string. Moyes will somehow remain employed. Selected idiots will still say he has credit in the bank or some such smalltime shit."

"Quite negative about this. Suspect Arteta, aware of our last few games, is going to weaken his side substantially more than he would have done a few weeks ago. They'll still cruise to victory. Glad the tickets were cheap."

[Manuel]

"This game has a different feel and look about it now after three straight losses. Can we win? Yes, but Arteta is the type of character who doesn't like to lose, so fancy he will be taking this seriously. Paqueta and Alvarez will almost certainly play now, and they may have done anyway."

If he is going to rest a couple like Bowen & Zouma then I will go with: Fabianski Kehrer Mavropanos Aguerd Emerson Alvarez Paqueta Fornals Kudus Cornet Benrahma

[twoleftfeet]

Are we playing again!! It takes me 3 days to recover from a defeat. Fabianski Johnson Mavropanos Ogbonna Emerson Alvarez Soucek Paqueta Bowen Mubama Kudus It won't happen but I'll just go through the motions.

[Sir Alf]

A lot will depend on whether he picks Alvarez and Paqueta as mentioned I agree nothing to lose everything to gain aside from an injury ( West Ham of course have some history of this but the game is almost non contact nowadays so less risk ) . Even with these 2 playing we are now becoming dependent on Emerson. If it’s Arsenal reserves we got a chance but will need to score a few as we concede every game

[Queens Fish Bar]

We will ship at least 3 goals. It will be dogshit again/as usual. with these players we should be better than this. #Moyesout

[Tomshardware]

We will probably win this.

[Eerie Descent]

"Those who were singing ""Are you watching Declan Rice"" will get to see him watching the Arsenal reserves slap us about."

[Lee Trundle]

"I wonder if we'll get to see Ings lost up front? Or will Moyes go to his new ""0 strikers on the pitch when you need a goal"" formation?"

[fraser]

"The suspensions of Paqueta, Alvarez and Emerson might help as no reason why all three shouldn't play. Hard to call though, are we going to be up for it, are they?"

[charleyfarley]

Morning all it's cup time and after losing our last 3 matches anybody got any hope left that we might get through to the next round?
