Two, Bayindir coming in as well

Two changes - keeper

Indeed. Missed that completely even though Amorim already mentioned a change in goals!

Oh yuck, Bayindir... better not be as inept as he was against Tottenham

I know Onana is iffy but this guy is way worse

I’m going to be switching the channel over every time Arsenal get a corner.

BBC quoting Amorim as saying Amad had a ‘small issue’ in the week hence rotated.

Just weak, arsenal get away with things like that every week

I'm not sure they do though.

He had a guy block him from lifting his arms up, it's not weak keeping at all. It's just a foul that wasn't noticed by the officials.

SER19 · Sunday at 14:12

Garnacho deserves a start again, some good cameos

This keeper is a known flapper. Why would he play him against the most burly team in England when it comes to corners?

If Bayindir starts we're fecked. What's the point? He's useless and it's not like you need to rest keepers anyway and he's not really rotated anyone else.

Of course it was weak as piss. Imagine someone trying to prevent Neuer, Kahn or Schmeichel getting to the ball like that

I don't get the Bayindir inclusion, hope it will not turn out badly.

You think the media will commend Amorim for picking him if he drops a few clangers like he did in his last game? You’re living in cloud cuckoo land if you don’t think the knives will be out.

F what the media say. No sane person is taking knives out for a manager who's barely 2 months in the job.

Ollie Derbyshire · Sunday at 14:19

Would have liked Yoro starting but I’ll accept we’re bedding him in slowly this season.

Rest of the team picks itself except Diallo, but I’d have him as a WB and keep Garnacho in the team.

Houdini · Sunday at 14:20

Is Onana sick or something?

Not unusual to play your second keeper in cup competitions

Amad has some kind of injury apparently and isn't fully fit.

Not full of trust in Onana vs Arsenal corners either

Maybe but from what I've seen of Bayindir he's a straight up liability.

Lewnited · Sunday at 14:23

Bayindir against Arsenal's set pieces is a catastrophe waiting to happen

Ollie Derbyshire · Sunday at 14:25

Withnail said:

Fair enough, but when fully fit, I’d just have Onana, Yoro & Amad back in and that’d be my first 11 sorted.

izec · Sunday at 14:26

Amorim is throwing away the cup with Bayindir in goal

RedRocket9908 · Sunday at 14:26

I wouldnt have started Hojlund today

Squeaky_Bum_Time · Sunday at 14:27

I kind of get the Bayindir thing. Amorim can’t completely freeze him out and risk suddenly needing him if Onana is injured and finding him short on confidence. Occasional games are important for the 2nd choice keeper.

The worry is that Stokewich is the worst team to play him against.

They'd probably all fail to get the ball as well, on account of being blocked from lifting their arms.

Well, I guess we aren’t spoiled for choice here. We need to play 2nd keeper occasionally @Squeaky_Bum_Time noted

I don’t understand it at all. If we get knocked out today due to a goalkeeping howler the knives are going to be out for Amorim.

And rightfully so. It is a very risky decision.

Welcome to Redcafe

Sassy Colin · Sunday at 14:32

He's really gone with the reserve keeper. He's never given anything approaching a performance.

pauldyson1uk · Sunday at 14:32

10/11 just Amed wrong , happy with that

Berbaclass · Sunday at 14:33

Amorim literally said Bayandir would play the other day it's not exactly a surprise.

Anyone have any favourite rivers?

He’s on the bench though

Nero · Sunday at 14:38

Desperate for anything to complain about.

Orange Tree · Sunday at 14:43

I still have hope that Garnacho will make it in Amorim's setup, so I'm happy to see him starts.

He is still young, if he knuckles down and is willing to work hard and learn his new role, he will flourish. The potential is there.

The only one I don't like is Bayindir and Hojlund in that line up. Hojlund has been piss poor at set piece situations.

Withnail · Sunday at 14:43

BaguetteBoy said:

Yeah I know but Amorim said he had a small issue along with it being a good chance to look at Garnacho as a starter.

Raising your arms and having a player push down on your arm as you are jumping is going to have a huge impact whoever it is. You can't just power through the other players arm as if it's not there, and it's all split second things so he had to switch hands.

It was a foul all day long and really unfortunate for Altay. Onanas goal he conceded was weak as piss, Altays was a clear foul.

Because our other goalkeeper hasn't had howlers?

Eugenius · Sunday at 14:48

No VAR, Bayindir and Stoke FC corner tactics. Can see how this is going to go.

No Rice or Saka taking them though

United Hobbit · Sunday at 14:51

The old United vs Arsenal games - feel like football has become much more sterile now, half of those challenges wouldn't be allowed anymore

Derbies almost don't feel like Derbies where has the passion and hatred gone? Now it's sterile and full of handshakes. Even our games against Liverpool are the same

astracrazy · Sunday at 14:51

Full on bias line up from the BBC today. Two ex Arsenak players, ex Newcastle and ex Man City.

NotoriousISSY · Sunday at 14:51

Martin Keown has a book? Who tf is reading that? :lol:

DJ_21 · Sunday at 14:54

Disadvantage for them not having any of their corner takers starting
