    Yeah so am I, and I think Lennon will have to play our first team to try and get them to gel and get used to each other.

    I'd play the team in mind to face Braga, minus the players to be dropped.

    Brown, Maloney, Loovens out. Kayal, M'geady, Fortune in.

    I'm of the opposite opinion bud.
    These players need game time together. Not sure pre-season has really helped with all the travelling around.
    Glad we've got 2 games this weekend to iron out our weaknesses.

    If they don't learn to play together better then we're out of the CL anyway.

    That squad list from arsenals website names Niall McGinn, sure is he not injured? plus did celtic not accept a bid from swindon for Ferry and Caddis who are also named in the squad

    I am not sure if its a good thing or a bad thing that we have this tournament at the weekend but on the positive side anything to get this bunch of players to know each other cant be a bad thing I suppose.

    Im going just for the Lyon game, my mate down there is giving me a ticket for down the side so wont be with our lot but Arsenal fans are a decent bunch so will have a good day out regardless.

    I don't think we'll see a trace of Kayal during the Emirates Cup. Watched his interview on channel 67 and he said he has bureaucratic stuff to iron out, VISA or whatever.. so he's probably headed for Israel rather than London.

    I'd say play our 11 for Braga v LYON, due to the fact that Arsenal will probably have us on the back foot, and we need the Bhoys to be attack-minded. If we're playing like a team possessed this weekend and getting shots on goal, would give us a good boost. Need our confidence back.

    If i was boss i'd play the regulars against Lyon and the younger/reserve players vs Arsenal purely because they'll have an extra day's rest before the Braga game. Would be interesting to see how the young guys measured up against the Arsenal youngsters too.
