BBC says Calafiori starting and Hincapie on the bench

Certainly a candidate for TG’s end of season awards!

Back 3 maybe?

Mansfield players intent on fouling us at every turn?

Thankfully they have stopped, don't want any more injuries in our squad

Very odd.

Nørgaard at CB with a midfield of Trossard, Havertz and Dowman?

Or 3 at the back with Nørgaard in the midfield anchor?

Mansfield raising their game.

Looks like a back 3 (I think lol)

Bloody hell Trossard off injured.

Madueke 1-0

Madueke !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just before the half too ;-)

Playing both of our left wingers seems a bit silly for many reasons.

Salmon's second big mistake today

Dangerous territory now. 1-1.

That would have been a wonderful goal from Dowman

I knew starting Salmon seemed a bit fishy.

The Japanese loves to eat them raw, and he was as raw as they like it to be

Eze is the right call ... but does Timber ever get a day off?

Eze !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Eze to the rescue great finish

When Martinelli is poor he is really poor

Nice yellow ...

And another ...

C'mon 4 minutes ...

And away we go ....

Phew.

Madueke looked very classy.

I believe our players did not bust a gut to get to the loose balls to prevent injuries. That is good game management. It wasn't them being off form, but them conserving themselves for the season end run of games. Unfortunate that Calafiori stretched for that ball, and then injury.

A home tie against any of tomorrows games winners would be nice.

Only 3 defeats this season, the reaction to each one has been another long unbeaten run.

How good did Dowman look? Very good at 16 to be pretty much the best player on the pitch.

Only Bayern and Barcelona have scored more goals than us in europes big 5 leagues. 101 for us this season. Boring

4 games before the international break
CL both legs, Everton in the league and the City league cup final.

Then we have a 2 week international break, the game after the break is the FA Cup QF, it would be huge to get a low ranked team again so we might be able to give some players 3 weeks off.

Oh and Arteta absolutely must be pulling players from International duty.

In a WC year. Players will want to go.

Wrexham take Chelsea to extra time. Down to 10 men, Chelsea heavy favourites to go through. I hope it goes to pens.

The Dobson red card was a joke

Garnacho did about twelve rolls, pathetic

Martinelli and Jesus were completely ineffective. I know the players were probably trying to stay fit and uninjured but those two were bad.
And the disallowed equalizer in the Wrexham game for offside just shows that the rules are stupid.

We won the game, we had an unfortunate injury, we gave a couple of youngsters a chance (they will remember it forever), EZe got a great goal but people are still complaining about our forwards. We don’t use them properly IMO, but it is important they don’t get an injury. The forwards looking pretty thin at the moment.

I’ve moved on to our next game. Still on for the quad. Wouldn’t that piss people off.

Disagree with that. It was a shocking challenge.
