Yes there's no chance of winning a game with that line-up unless it was against a pub team, absolutely nothing in midfield or attack other than Martinelli who'd need to pull of some solo magic as he's not going to get much from anyone else on the pitch.

What a load of rubbish this Arsenal line up is, best chance of a trophy thrown away, 1 nil down with a minute until half time and they just play it backwards and around the half way line! Did not even play the ball into the box for one last chance before the whistle, negativity at is best!

Willian and Pepe clearly not up to the job and despite what Arteta says, Cedric can not put a decent cross in from the left to save his life.

Got to wonder how the likes of Willock, Nelson, Balogun and Maitland-Niles feel watching Pepe and Willian get game after game despite contributing nothing. Baffling why Arteta persists with them.

Out due to poor management with team selection and 70 min of completely negative football, like thats never happened before........

I really don't understand that line up nor the substitutions made during the game. Arteta has thrown the FA Cup away this season. Awful game of football and not a surprise at all.

Elneny, Nketiah, Willian and Pepe have been 100% useless all season yet Arteta puts them on in a knockout competition against strong opposition and somehow 3 of them manage not to be substituted. Horrific management.

So just play saka etc every game until they drop and get injured?

I'd rather he rest them for the league

What is it with these fireworks being let off and stopping play Cheltenham are actually doing quite well here so it's not as if it's needed to put City off their stride.
