I'll get in early, 5 nil to Arsenal with all the goals coming in a 6 minute spell just after half time restart.

Anyone playing next Thursday shouldn’t be anywhere near this game.

0-3.

Victory in Frankfurt on Thursday. Happy days.

Unfortunately nothing is as sure as the sun rising tomorrow that we will lose this. I will go with 0-3 as well. But if we can somehow turn it round in Frankfurt who the feck would care?

I wish we didn’t have to play this game. And just want to skip straight to next Thursday.

I expect Moyes will play Zouma, as with Dawson being out we have no other centre half.

I’d play a similar team to what we played at Stamford Bridge.

Let’s be honest, if we play a half of the team that started last night we will struggle to get a point which begs the question why start any of them? Give them all the day off let them spend time at home with their families and rock up in Frankfurt fully refreshed and ready for battle.

I expect it’ll be pretty much the same as Chelsea, Big guns rested. Soucek definitely needs a rest, respect the point!

I agree we should rest as many as possible, but I'm uncomfortable throwing our youth team defenders to the wolves like this.

Agreed but we only have Dawson and Zouma as our two fit centre backs and they need to be rested. May as well play two players who'v played alongside each other all season, in Baptiste and Alese

We need this game like a hole in the head.
I don’t know why we have such a piss poor record against this lot.
I would go along with the Chelsea line up as much as possible. We need our big players fit and ready for Frankfurt but we shouldn’t go gung ho with youth players and let Arsenal put them to the sword.
I don’t hate Arsenal in the way I do Spurs or Chelsea but I do hate the way we lose habitually to them.

0-0 ???? Bite your hand off for that right now.

I expect to see close to a full team - a minimal number of changes 3/4 max.

Man United drawing last night, coupled with us losing , means that Moyes will hedge his bet.

What a comedown this is going to be, from a rocking atmosphere with probably the best away support I’ve ever seen… to Arsenal with their s*** support, who always seem to have our number on the pitch.

Frustrate them, bore them into submission and take the 0-0 and onto Frankfurt next Thursday night :newthumb:

Definitely rest Rice, Bowen, Antonio, Fornals & Cresswell. Bench them and bring a few on if it’s still level well into the second half.

Feels inconsequential even though it really isn’t, but Thursday night is our season now. We never do well against this lot result wise, can’t see that changing Sunday.

We are three points behind Man Utd with a game in hand so need to try and get something from this if we are to qualify for Europe next season which would be huge for the club and may enable us to keep Declan.

Yes it is possible we get through against Frankfurt but do so apparently we will have to do something that no other team has achieved which is overturn a 1st league home defeat ( according to Talksport!}.

With the above in mind I would go as strong as possible resting Soucek and obviously Dawson is suspended I would trust Moyes to know who needs a rest.

Totally understand what you are saying but I think this is a nightmare decision for Moyes to make.

Honestly, if we can somehow get past Frankfurt then I think we win the thing. Flip side is that if we lose to Arsenal I think our chances of top 6 are virtually over.

If we're going to rest players and effectively sacrifice this so we have our best chance to win in Frankfurt, then why not use it as an opportunity to try a youngster or two? Maybe give Chesters a run out or see how Alese actually manages in a first team game. Or maybe if we want to rest one of our defensive midfielders, give Keenan Appiah-Forson a chance to shine - he looks to have loads of energy and he's always looked bright when I've seen him for the U23's. I'd certainly rather do that than play Kral - especially if we've already decided we don't want him.

No idea what we will do at CB.
Suppose Rice will play with Alese or Johnson.

I wonder if playing Alese and Baptiste is possible.
Atleast they have a partnership and understanding. Obviously not wanting to drop them in it and it has the potential to go very wrong.

But worse than two players out of position chucked next to each other?
