Buzzing for this one. I can see Utd bouncing back after Palace and Arsenal hitting a mental block because it’s Utd. 2-0. Arsenal also must have some of the most arrogant fans in football. People forget what they were like under Wenger when they were winning.

I'd be delighted with a draw.
Absolutely. Tough game without Casemiro and Martial.
No, there are two more games on that tweet after WHU badge. Newcastle 0-0 and us with ?-? All wins, until Newcastle' draw... nudge, nudge, wink, wink..Think he might go with a similar line-up to 2nd half v City. Big question is who replaces Casemiro.
De Gea
AWB. Varane Shaw. Malacia
McTom/Marinez. Fred
Bruno Eriksen Garnacho
RashfordShaw is better at LB
Not sure why Martinez is being doubted/questions at CB all of a sudden.
Not so much questioned just feel Licha can do job in front of back 4 hereWe come out unbeaten from this... big win
They just seem in way too much form and aren't missing their best player
I said something similar in my interview to become a pornstar, except it was inches.
I didn’t get the job.
McFred = non existent midfield.
If we do use them, we may have to focus on counter-attacking Ole ball.
Or just hit long balls.
This is a winnable game, but if we attempt to "outplay" them, I think we'll lose.
We need to play in a way that our midfield gets bypassed as McFred will get utterly dominated.Need to kick them off the park again. Within the first minute, their Captain needs to be put to the deck. Let them know the game they are in for.
Isnt this how we still beat the big teams regardless of Ole or ETH? Look at all the goals we scored.
From a fullback or defensive mid from our 1/3rd and diagonally cross to the left wing and then off they go.Very tough match ahead.
They're 52% to win, 25 % to draw and only 23 % to lose according to pre match probability. I'd take a draw this time.
However have a serious feeling we'd win. Arsenal usually don't do well against us regardless of form and we're considered the underdog. All written in the stars for us to win.
Could have definitely got away with draw if we had only been six behind instead of eightHopefully it's his one game a season where he looks like Lothar Matthäus on stilts, but he usually saves that for Leeds.
Doesn’t happen when he’s asked to play DM
Couldn't Fred & Martinez work
I'm not on the 'title race' train but 'one match at a time' one. For me a top 4 is already a miracle considering what we're last season and at the start of this season. Still remember the relegation thread.
Same. Top 4 Cup is all I expect.
We don't have the depth to challenge for the title. Anything thing else is delusional. Its only January... I hate to imagine our injury list come march/May.McT and Eriksen worked well after the Brentford game while Casemiro settled.
McT and Fred finished 3rd and 2nd in this league.
Not confident at all but ETH likes Scott and will start him.
Oh god
The only way draw could be enough is if we can beat Palace at home on 4th February and then win that game in hand with Leeds too.Last edited:Licha at CDM and Shaw LCB ?
I want to see it tried but gut feeling is they will both play in usual positions
They also concede quite a number of goals don't they ?!
Without Casemiro agreed. Martial? NopeIf McFred start, we’re doomed. Fred needs to play but hopefully we get Martinez in DM and Erickson pairing with Fred, with Bruno pushed out on the right.
on the attacking front we’ve scored the least goals out of the top 9 teams in the league.
They could well do because Erik seemingly doesn't fancy Licha there from his Ajax daysFor those asking for Martinez to start in midfield.
https://www.manchestereveningnews.c...all-news/man-united-ten-hag-martinez-24526337They're not the favourites. We're on a similar role as them but the pressure is on them to beat us which makes us slight favourites if anything.The game vs City is the blue print for this one.
Absolutely, but the problem is our incompetence to put away our early chances. We always miss a couple of clear cut chances before we score.Lets hope Arsenal get big case of shits as the wake up in the morning...
No Casa is the problem there
Might feel differently at Utd
Our previous game against Arsenal this season must be the blueprint, because we didn't have Casemiro on the pitch in that one either.
True but they didn't have Partey unfortunatelyMcTominay scares me at DM. Ole played him there all the time and its just something that Rangnick and in turn Ten Hag decided to keep doing (in Casemiro's absence). The thing is didnt seem to learn anything from his time training with Matic and seemingly isnt learning from Case either. I know people say its not his natural position but as with a lot of ETHs players its important to have a bit of versatility. And this guy has none.Ffs just realized this isn't today. I finished everything for the day and just checked why the lineups haven't been announced.Strongest XI on paper:
Goalkeeper - De Gea
Back four - United
Midfield - Equal
Front three - Arsenal
Ramsdale
White Saliba Gabriel Zinchenko
Partey
Odegaard Xhaka
Saka Jesus Martinelli
vs
Rashford Martial Antony
Eriksen Bruno
Casemiro
Shaw Martinez Varane Dalot
De Gea
Although we won't have our strongest XI available to us tomorrow, when you look at both teams, they're few and far between in regards to ability.
Significant difference is, Arteta is three years in and ten Hag has only just started. With a few additions next season, I think we'll be well on our way.- Status
