I don't know who Wenger will play, considering the ridiculous time since our last cup you'd think the overly youth oriented squads for the league cup will be a bit more experienced this time out.
We also have a few players who tend to have a bit of an ego and think these games will be easy and put in as little effort as possible.
Ipswich are a wounded animal at the moment, probably more dangerous than a side with consistant decent form. A side with real form playing well, you really know how good they are, a side with no form, you have no idea what kind of performance they can pull out of no where. If you have players, especially some youngsters who think they are playing bottom of the CHampionship team and a team who suddenly click for one game turn up then you can have a problem.
Younger players need to hear from senior players that even games like these are NOT routine and you can't half arse it because they aren't normally playing well at the moment.
When we play an almost exclusively youth team plus say Bendtner and Vela, we play well as you've got a defence, a midfield and a strike force that play with each other. Its often when Wenger mixes the sides TOO much, and you have 2 midfielders and defenders, from the reserves and 2 from the first team or bench, then they aren't used to playing with each other and it goes to crap, we've been caught out MORE often when we mix teams later in a competition than we do earlier in a competition when we stick with basically a team that plays and trains together constantly.
