Isgrove went off after 29 minutes......Was it a bad injury? I'm going to lose value on him I'd say

26-08-2014 9:50pm

Wonder if this will have an impact on de gea's game time.

FHFC · 26-08-2014 9:56pm

No Albrighton for Leicester but Mahrez starts. Good sign for him getting that spot back.

You know you are in FPL nerd territory when that springs out at you....

That was the only thing I couldn't understand about the line up. Why would you play De Gea?

FHFC · 26-08-2014 10:27pm

United out of the League cup is great news FPL wise. If they could just lose in the third round of the FA their FPL worth will increase immensely.

Well the FA cup is played on weekends, so I don't see that as a huge advantage.

I think that result can not be good. I know on one level it's good (less games), but they were stuffed, are clearly rubbish, and this can only damage their confidence. I'll be dumping Jones as soon as I get a chance. I don't care if they're playing the 3 promoted sides next.

Only Evans & De Gea (Januzai, Wellbeck, Hernandez maybe) from the team tonight could ever really be considered FF players.

But yes I agree. I currently have Mata and Rooney and no confidence for the games ahead.

Their defence is only shaky cause it's new though, like tonight you had Evans playing - I can't remember the last time I saw him playing a competitive game. Keane is only a young lad and I never heard of Vermijl before, throwing them together and into a system they probably don't know is never going to end well.

In front of them you had Anderson - he probably won't see much action this season, and may have been given a game in hope someone will come in to buy him.

Van Gaal should have played the same back 3/4 tonight as he plans to on Saturday along with DDG to gain stability. I'm not overly confident of having Jones in my team, but I think it's only a matter of games before they come good, 2 promoted teams might be what they need to get some confidence.

I fully realise that it was a mainly second string 11, but I just think getting a beaten 4-0 by a league one team has to be really bad for general morale around the club.

Edin Dzeko had a good laugh about it on Twitter anyway.

Prays Alexis does nothing and Kos picks up an injury.

Looks like Chambers' run of starts is over.

He got one more than I thought he would get in fairness. It was the ultimate short term band wagon.

8-10 · 27-08-2014 7:39pm

But being on the bench would surely make him likely to play at the weekend in the EPL no?

Not with that line up IMO. It's pretty much the strongest possible team.

jive · 27-08-2014 7:46pm

Don't know why everyone is saying Chambers was a band wagon. He's a 4.5m defender in a top 4 side who had 16 or so clean sheets last year and was guaranteed a minimum of 1 start at home to a bad team with no manager. If Kosc/Mert pick up an injury then even better for those that have him. A short-term option for sure but not a bandwagon, I don't think anyone expected him to keep his place in the team.

8-10 · 27-08-2014 7:48pm

We'll see. I expect him to play RB this weekend.

Unless Debuchy is injured, there is little chance of that happening. Winger isn't resting Debuchy before an international break.

Having just sold him I'm glad to see the inevitable goal has come in Europe.

In fairness he's been pretty pants as a lone striker again tonight otherwise.

Swiper the fox · 27-08-2014 8:35pm

Sanchez opens his Arsenal account, right place at the right time, he hasn't been terribly impressive up front either tonight and the finish was quite poor.

Wilshire gets an assist from what looked like a complete fumble and a poor enough finish from sanchez to boot.

Sanchez isn't selfish enough for our benefit.
And Ozil is beginning to look like a very ordinary player these days.

Scorpion Sting · 27-08-2014 9:19pm

Debuchy sent off, Arsenal up against it now.

Swiper the fox · 27-08-2014 9:20pm

Wenger is going to be very cross with Debuchy, 8-10 could be right about the RB this weekend:o

Scorpion Sting · 27-08-2014 9:23pm

I've never seen that before, a player getting booked for coming on to the pitch without the ref's permission.

jive · 27-08-2014 9:43pm

Sanchez looked good, much better than he was at the weekend. There's a lot to be said about a midfielder starting up front in fantasy, especially when it's a club like Arsenal and there is nobody who will threaten his game time.

It actually happened to me once for Tullyvinney Rovers against Lifford in the
Donegal Saturday League division 2 circa1995. So there is definitely a precedent.

Didn't see the second half but thought he was poor in the first. Fine player but no centre forward.

Wenger will be cross at the ref... He didn't see Debuchy foul him

he never does.

Hope Chambers gets the nod... Maybe a few tired legs after tonight. But Wenger put out his strongest back four. Le writing is on Le wall.

Much better after he got the goal, was fairly anonymous in first half. Second half he created a few and probably should have grabbed a second. He's definitely good enough to be a centre forward IMO, I'd imagine that's where he'll play all year esp. now that Giroud is gone.

I bet the ref was sent down to the lower leagues for a while as punishment.
