Arsenal 2:0 Manchester United

Looks like Amorim's opted for a more defensive setup with Malacia and Dalot in wb positions. I still don't like Bruno in cm but let's see how it goes. Don't think both Maguire and De Ligt together is ideal due to the lack of pace tbh.

I’m sick of going into these big games with a depleted squad, seems to happen to us all the time. I’d love to go into these games with a fully fit squad for once and see what level we’re actually at. Feel for Amorim, it was always going to be a tough one with this game coming so early into his reign as manager but missing so much quality from the team means this is a real uphill battle. If we come away with a win tonight he deserves massive credit.

The Martinez yellow card last week is just looking more stupid by the minute

groovyalbert · 2024-12-04T18:54:21+0000

Malacia looked great last time out to be fair

Nothing wrong with the line up. Squad rotation has been a key feature already under Ruben.
Every player will have their chances and every player will get a rest.

This rule doesn't apply to Bruno yeah?

Going by his fitness levels over the years, it fecking looks like it.

Best player, captain, impeccable fitness record, performs far more than other players and has shown that he can handle playing regularly unlike just about everyone else in our squad

It's not necessarily the team that starts. He may be looking to tweak personnel and tactics in game.

Malacia against Saka is madness.

Shaw and Martinez are out and Dalot has been getting ridiculed all season. Other options to play there are wingers and our POTS so far is behind him as cover.

Maguire lcb would be suicide. Unless we sit deep and stay compact,

Apparently, Maz LCB, with Maguire in the middle and De Ligt on the right.

Yeah just an "it is what it is" situation I think. Yoro not ready to start here, Lindelof also out (who would likely come in at RCB), Licha and shaw out meaning we have to move Mazraoui to LCB to cover. It'll improve with transfer windows. This season we'll have compromises.

Judas · 2024-12-04T18:58:55+0000

Wait what’s wrong with Shaw, injured again? Stupid question?

I’m sure it’s the same posters doing it so they can come back if we lose and quote themselves.

Knowing full well if we win no one will pay attention.

I'm not against Bruno, I know of his fitness record I just if he can start all this games Amad playing the way he has should too.

Remember the geese · 2024-12-04T18:59:25+0000

Really poor lineup. You can't play De Ligt and Maguire together. Also, Malacia is absolutely done at this level.

Bruno was subbed off after 66 minutes against Everton. He’ll be raring to go for this one.

Who should play then? Yoro?

FrankDrebin · 2024-12-04T19:00:43+0000

Ruben has said all along that we're going to have some bad moments, one of those moments could be tonight.
But this is to be expected.

Which I would have been more confident with. I would have even preferred Dalot at CB and Antony at RWB. I have confidence that Amorim knows what he's doing but I'm just struggling to wrap my head around it.

This is nowhere near Ten Hag’s weird lineups. Yet the reaction is similar.

Dalot and Ugarte on that same side should help a little at least.

I don’t see the big deal. It’s obviously not his preferred defensive line up but he’s got limited options.

Rodgerzzz · 2024-12-04T19:03:33+0000

It's gotta be Maguire at LCB right? He's pretty good at bringing the ball out from those sort of positions. Understandably Big Harolds lack of pace plus we really don't know if Malacia is still up to it is a concern.
