Is Hoijlund pretending to be Rashford? Where's the pressing man?Maguire’s turns
Like a cruise ship trying to change directions. He’s been ok defensively though.Very disciplined and cautious game by us so far. Certainly potential to hit them on the counter
Feels like it. Haven't noticed him at all.Ah lads, whip in a ball at least! We're not being brave enough here.We going to get a shot away today or what?
Always has been.They’re still whiny little twerps.I think containing them for the first half was the plan, judging by the line ups. The only positive is we have loss of attacking changes to come from the bench in Rashford, Zirkzee and AmadKeep it goalless until early second half and get Amad on to actually get at Zinchenko. I’d maybe push Fernandes forward for Mount too and risk the Casemiro random performance generator
Probably more to do with the fact that he shouldn’t starting as many games as he does, which is down to the squad’s quality.
I don't think he has much to work with. 2 defensive wing backs, and mount + Garnacho + Højlund in front.
Good questionOur shape is so much better under Amorim.I reckon they will get maz booked soonIs this the best we’ve played in a long time in the epl against a top team.
There’s actually an element of control despite the lack of a goal threat.
It’s a long way off the chaos we’ve been used to
We could loose this and I’d still be relatively happy. Promising signs alreadyReally harsh matchday thread I think. Arsenal are one of the best teams in the league. We're doing well to not be porous like we have been the whole year
When Amad comes on 2nd half.
Yeah it seems like he's actively not seeking the ball when ugarte/fernandes have it in midfield
ExactlyA far more assertive, possession-based display (so far) than anything that ETH would have got out of us tonight. Reckon we’d have been 2-0 down at least by now, with 25% possession.
Not creating anything is a concern though, but I’d argue Arsenal’s defence is significantly better than our attack.
Can see us conceding soon enough, probably early second half. Probably down Malacia’s side or due to defence and Onana dicking about like they do. How we respond will give us an indication of mindset under Amorim.Last edited:
Yeah, I’m taking the positives. We’re not under any sort of pressure, barring set pieces, and that’s about it. We can’t have it both ways (solid defensively and swashbuckling attacking) whilst we’re transitioning with a new manager - away at one of the title challengers.Listening to The Overlap it’s hilarious. Gary Nev is still red. He’s just as deluded as us!
I think he has huge potential. Flat track bully lately but still young, 20 isn’t the finished article.
Could see it happen. Not sure Malacia can go 90 minutes anyway, so Amad for him and maybe Rashford against tired legs
This is not something i want to derail the thread with, but it appears he's anti-homosexuality, most likely for religious reasons. There have been a couple of stories about it, the most recent that we scrapped a pro-LGBTQ+ jacket for the team in a recent match because he refused to participate. Obviously he has a right to his views, but it leaves a bad taste in my mouth. Shame, because as a footballer I'm such a fan.pretty shit game. they can't do shit because we're containing them well. we on the other hand can't do shit because we simply can't
Haha. Love thisWe've been very solid defensively. Only thing is we haven't created anything at allWhat subs do you guys think we need to make ?Rasmus needs to work on his fitness. Looks knackered out thereJust got to putting on the game. How we looking so far?Never seen Bruno this disciplined on the ball.Damn, i love 3 at the back system.Containing them well and they've got quite a scared manager as per usual. United don't want to lose, Arsenal don't seem to want to risk too much for now.
Yeah but it seems instructed as well. Maybe a bit of pragmatism, considering the opponent and our situation (injuries, new manager etc). Alas, Arsenal have also created nothing. So that’s a positiveTen hag should be put on trial for assembling such an average group of players whilst wasting tons of money in the process. Fraud.
Disciplined, solid, not troubled, no threat from us at all
They have 3 of their first choice defence out. We really should be doing more in attack.- Status
