Arsenal 3:2 Manchester United

I had a feeling it would be Eriksen and McTominay.

Big opportunity for Scott today - if he plays well and proves to Ten Hag he can be an option as a no.6 for us, he could secure his long term future at the club.

Huge chance for Mctominay maybe the last to prove he can be a part of this team going forward. He has to have a big game here to show he can do it under this manager.

Definitely.

FrankDrebin · Jan 22, 2023

Cant we just convert Antony into a fullback, considering all his strengths are defensive ?

dove · Jan 22, 2023

So many talented managers in this thread :lol:

I need an explanation for why Fred isn’t starting. This is the type of game tailored to his strengths.

I guess ten Hag went with McTominay for the physicality we need someone who can challenge Partey.

Maybe a McFred Eriksen midfield would've been more solid but we would've have needed to sacrifice Antony.

I like that we are developing our style/system and keeping it even when players are missing is part of it.

McTomnay-Eriksen in MF ended up in a 3-1 win over them already this year. But go on.......

And we still got overrun massively in midfield for 40 minutes and this is an away game at the Emirates where we haven't won for ages.

Edwards6 · Jan 22, 2023

Seen a lot of complaints about Antony recently but I think he's one of our key players today if we want to win, with Zinchenko moving into midfield Antony needs to stay wide and get in behind, feeling strangely confident we'll win 2-1

I am surprisingly calm. Convinced this is a loss.

Last week's setback really kicked the wind in my sails, so I really hope the boys are up for this.
Based on Ten Hags interviews you can see he's been focusing on building he's teams confidence that we have beaten them and can do it again.

Im not convinced it's a loss, but I'm not expecting us to win.

Lord Zlatan · Jan 22, 2023

came into this thread for a bit of optimism...feck me

FrankDrebin · Jan 22, 2023

Arsenal to have a Partey against that midfield today.

Wonder what they are doing on the forum when they can make a difference for a team out there

kouroux · Jan 22, 2023

So kind of Martial to break down when we signed Weghorst. Expecting a defeat sadly and will love to be quoted later on to be laughed at

A draw would be a good result, a win a great result. After other results I wouldn't go off on one if we lost.

JustinC00 · Jan 22, 2023

People are actually seething because Fred doesn't start. Amazing. If you told me before this year people would call the manager pathetic for not starting Fred I would have called you a fool. But here we are

Rapsel · Jan 22, 2023

All my winnings for the draw against Feyenoord on a United win. Show me the money, Bald genius! We miss you!

Lights Out · Jan 22, 2023

Fearing the worst today. We have a terrible record there over the last few years and that’s when they were shit!

Fooza · Jan 22, 2023

The game will either two ways

EtH to be hailed a genius for getting good result with a team like that

or

a 5-0 drubbing - which forces the board to sign some f'in players because that bench is dire

FrankDrebin · Jan 22, 2023

Forgot about Martial.

Remember the geese · Jan 22, 2023

Why isn't Fred playing? He should have been a certainty. Quite obvious that we are going to get destroyed.

Cantona in disguise · Jan 22, 2023

I do think mcT is better when he starts. When he comes off the bench he generally struggles to get up to speed with the game and gives away silly free kicks.

I think most were expecting something similar to City. So Fred for Antony and Burno on the right.

I prefer Antony right. Zincenko has zero positional awareness and will struggle to mark a touchline hugging winger.

Sparky_Hughes · Jan 22, 2023

Early goal for arsenal, followed by 2 for rashy, arse to equalise, garnacho to come on and set up the big man for the winner in the 92nd minute, whilst blatantly on fire and punching the gk but var let's it stand. Make it so.

How many are actually doing that?

Context is important as to why so many of us want Fred to start this time. I’m still far from his biggest fan.

RedPed · Jan 22, 2023

The negativity in this thread is disgusting. Just fecking embarrassing.

Dr Foo · Jan 22, 2023

Not sure why EtH doesn't go for a similar lineup like the one against City, I.e. also putting Fred in. I haven't watched too many Arsenal games, but won't they be as dominant if not more than City?

Fortitude · Jan 22, 2023

What a poor bench we have. Outside of Fred and Garnacho, we're really reaching if we need to turn the game around.

FrankDrebin · Jan 22, 2023

We're hoping to be in the game past the hour mark. Then bring on a enthusiastic Fred and , hopefully, Garnacho and see where that takes us.
We need to be in the game though.

They'd be seething if he did start aswell.

Witchking · Jan 22, 2023

Going to be a loss. The Howard line is way too static and Antony doesn't take his man on at all. Woug seems to slow for such a fast game. It's all on Rashford any Arsenal's in great form. A bit pessimistic but hopefully wrong on all counts

Sassy Colin · Jan 22, 2023

I had Fred rather than McT, 10/11.

Fred will come on in the 2nd half and give us a lot of energy in the final half hour.

Ludens the Red · Jan 22, 2023

Not sure Mctominay/Eriksen/Bruno is a midfield to be using away to Arsenal to be honest. Fred should be in there with them. Our attack looks weak but short of options really.

Real Madras · Jan 22, 2023

Always worried when Jones Knows predicts us to lose. He usually gets it right or there or their abouts. He obviously looks at stats. How often is he wrong?

PlayerOne · Jan 22, 2023

Why no Fred? He has been one our best player since the World Cup

Only problem is that winger doesn’t attack his fullback

How dare you question the manager ! how dare you!!

redshaw · Jan 22, 2023

The key for United will be can Bruno limit his misplaced passes. We can link up well with good quality like we saw in the first half to City but can't afford to keep turning over the ball, more so without Case.

Will be interesting to see if they can blast us away like a real top team.

MichaelRed · Jan 22, 2023

Odegaard is going to score after getting a free run into our box because McTominay switched off and didn't track him
