8-2.0??So based on that squad, potential Arsenal line up something like
Cech
Osei-Tutu Chambers Holding Kolasinac
Xhaka Maitland-Niles
Iwobi Mkhi Welbeck
Aubameyang
That forward line have more than enough to hurt us.
I hope Jose doesn't rest key players having seen the Arsenal squad
If we go full strength (please!) and Jose allows them to attack you could see Pogba, Sanchez, Lukaku etc inflicting some damage on that Arsenal defence
Yeah. I hope we don't get complacent.
Indeed; Welbeck’s guaranteed goals at OT (... since he left anyway) and with PEA having not played for a week and the wildcard of how Mkhitaryan will react to being back here then there is still danger for us.
Hoping for a professional performance from us.Any one want to guess how many times Welbeck will end up on the floor. Every time I watch him he’s either mis kicked a ball or he’s on the floor.Everyone is a little too confident for my liking, that can be dangerous. Arsenal have no pressure at all to get something, knowing them they will show up. It would be typical Arsenal. I remember the day Rashford destroyed them, everyone was sure Arsenal would win because of the injuries they had. Yes we are undoubtedly favourites and rightly so but we were against West Brom. This United team are always surprising everyone, not always for the right reasons.Rest key players for what??We haven't played a game since last Saturday...Our next game is on Friday night,there's no reason to rest anyone at all...
Isn't Mkhi injured?
Nope,he's available for the game...Wenger spoke about him at his press conference,he's fully fit now...
Just back, he is with the squad.
I’m not exactly quaking in my boots!Last edited:
Then they should have done in other away games this year. It is not the quality with them it is the mentality.We should show no mercy and smash them, won't be an easy game though as they will be probably relaxed about league now they concentrate on Europa league. Let's not underestimate them and we win. Hope for Herrera in midfield it is somewhat equivalent of a good result when he plays in a big gameJust go in hard on Mhikitaryan and he wont come for another go . That keeper and defense could well ship 5-6 goals. For once Jose go for the jugular.
It's a nice change of pace.Please, please, please go for the kill, Jose. I don’t want any of this respect nonsense. Go out to blow them out of the water from start to finish. Go hard and physical v the players that are likely to be starting on Thursday, as they really won’t fancy a fight.Confirmed United squad members
David de Gea, Joel Pereira, Kieran O'Hara, Antonio Valencia, Matteo Darmian, Chris Smalling, Victor Lindelof, Marcos Rojo, Scott McTominay, Paul Pogba, Nemanja Matic, Ander Herrera, Marouane Fellaini, Juan Mata, Alexis Sanchez, Romelu Lukaku, Marcus Rashford, Anthony Martial
Well, makes a change from the negativity atleast, don't it.Hope we absolutely murder them.
You think our attitude on the forum is going to affect the actual game today?Give Wenger one last pasting, for old time's sake.
Must be his absolute nightmare of a game in between the semi finals.Just hope we show no signs of complacency.
We need to lay down a marker for next season.No we just need to win the game.
I hope we don't duck the challenge
No that's ridiculous, the complacency with the players is the worry. West Brom was a given too, look how that turned out. We should win but the media speaking about the 8.2 isn't necessarily a good thing.Going to be disappointed if we don’t absolutely demolish them to be quite honest. Hopefully Romelu and Sanchez can boost their tallies.
Where have you seen the players acting like Arsenal will be easy?
We haven't but I just hope Jose doesn't try to be "clever" by resting players like Smalling, Matic, Lukaku - if he does then this complacency could also filter down to the player who are playing.
I haven't, I didn't with the West Brom game either. I think you are missing my point. I'm cautious, I never like when United winning is a forgone conclusion by fans or media. I was confident that Liverpool would be undone at Old Trafford, over confidence of beating them big isn't necessarily a good thing.
I can understand being concerned about a manager’s strategy for a game affecting the players.
I don’t put much, if any, stock in things like that affecting the outcome of the game. It’s the professional managers and athletes going out on the pitch that determine the game. The rest is white noise for the spectators.Arsenal to rest players hopefully.
Looks like it from the travelling squad. No Ozil, Lazacette, Koscielny, Wilshere, Ramsey, Mustafi, Monreal. No idea how many of those usually start at the moment, and if any are injured.
