***OMT Tottenham Hotspur v Liverpool***

I'm not confident about this game, I think they'll have the legs on us, we look very tired in second half on Sunday getting that result. With Villa coming up in cup I would protect as many players as possible. My biggest fear is it goes to penalties as we will have played ourselves into the ground.

Surely this game is far more important than Villa? We are 180 minutes away from silverware and european qualification. There's a lot of rounds and strong teams left in the FA cup
 
I fear we will miss Dragusin's aerial presence in this: Pool are good in the air/from set-pieces. Not Arsenal good, but quite good anyway.
We have to hope if Danso can play he can get up to speed on the physicality we'd likely face.

Knowing the season we are having, VDV will be out.

Gray + Dranso might be a nice pairing. Tough on Davies, but we probably need a bigger backline against pool. One day, hopefully soon, we will see Gray, Bissouma and Bentancur in midfield allthougher. Would be a resolute midfield.

Tel for Richarlison is massively tempting too. But far more likely to let Tel come on as a sub as players tire as @Hotspur75 outlines. Richi to run himself into the ground, Tel to replace him on 60 mins and win it!

Not sure another and entirely new CB partner to the still inexperienced Gray is the way to go. For me VdV or Davies depending on fitness for VdV, then Danso or Gray depending on vibes.

Having someone to put on from the bench if/when Son or Richarlison runs out of steam is such a boost. Game could obviously be over by then, but if it's still in the balance it could be vital.

I think the most important thing is the amount of 1st team bodies we can put together in the travelling squad. We'll need more than "11 fit players" if we are going to get the win.

Does this look right?

Kinsky, Austin, Porro, Spence, Gray, Danso, Davies, VDV?, Reggie, Biss, Bents, Sarr, Bergval, Kulu, Sonny, Tel, Richi, Moore, Scarlett

I make that 15 outfield players, plus Moore and Scarlett to call upon. Perhaps Ajayi makes the numbers up.

The key for me will be keeping that midfield intensity going from start to finish.

Very good to have some options for sure. May even allow Ange to pick players he thinks will be good for this game rather than whoever can still run after warm up.

It is but it's a dilemma, go strong lose and have a knackered team for Sunday, protect players lose and lose with strong team at Villa, who can say except the usual suspects who think we should beat everyone.
 
Kinsky
Porro—Danso—VDV—Spence
———Gray—Bentancur———
Deki——Bergvall——Son
——————Tel——————

Dont think we will start this way, but I belive it has a good balance

There's just so much wrong with that image.

You have one Liverpool player dressed as an Arsenal player.
Two balls.
One Spurs player wearing red shorts.
In the back there's a Spurs player without a torso.

Very true 🤣 didn’t realise this was a game of spot the AI mistakes, they are going to take over the World… it’s still impressive considering that it takes mere seconds to create an image like that even if there must be some stock basis from which it creates said image.

We can’t throw away a semi final to try to go through in the 4th round it another competition. I would agree with being sensible and not selecting clearly unfit or injured players but that aside I wouldn’t be resting players.
