Manchester Utd vs Arsenal | Wed, 20:00 | with high velocity Pizza

They have players who can hammer us on the break and pounce on mistakes if we are not careful. Rashford and Lingaard always have good games against us. Then add Martial and Pogba into the mix , they are erratic but good games from those two and we may be unlucky. Not that confident , Jose will park the bus and hit us with pace on the break.

Yeah, I'm far less optimistic about this one than the Sp*rs one.

Claudius

You're far less optimistic about a midtable team? Why? Because of our miserable history against them with Wenger who doesn't prepare for games and with a team that had no defensive midfielders?

They're an awful counter attacking side though, they move the ball so slowly that it's not hard to get back into position and re-organise.

Reading on RedCafe it seems that Valencia, Smalling, Jones, Bailly and Lindelöf are all injured while Young is suspended.

Lindelöf's been their best player lately too, even if it's not saying much. There's no defensive organisation without him.

Sanchez is also gone for the rest of the year in the attacking end, and you wonder what these rumours about Mourinho calling Pogba 'a virus' (:lol🙂 in training means for their midfield.

Even though Sanchez is garbage I'm actually glad he's injured. You just know he'd score against us and I don't think I could take that. In my opinion there's no way Mourinho can play Pogba the match after calling him a virus who doesn't care about the team, but you never know.

I'm still insecure about going to the Toilet + that cunt Mourinho literally living to beat Arsenal.

Emery will need to exorcise it out of me.

New manager, beginnings of a new culture surrounding the team; fyi, it points to an advantage for the Arse going to OT.
Goodbye to all that AW-JM crap.

QuincyAbeyie

I know we disagree about him as a manager, but as a person he is such a likable guy. A great representative for what I think Arsenal should be. Wenger got somewhat more "rude" over the years, but I can only imagine it's hard not to after so many years of the press wearing you down.

goon

It's a shame his English isn't better as it definitely limits how articulate he can be.

Qwiss

There is something safe about not being able to say too much though. Wenger was a brilliant speaker but he talked too much really. Keep it to the team and the game ahead.

goon

Probably, nothing good ever comes out of talking to the media. Still, for us fans I think it would have been good as he's very open about what he wants to do and I reckon we'd have gotten a much better insight into our tactics and style.

From the very first presser he has spoken in English. That's extremely brave for someone who don't know the language before taking the club, almost no other manager did that for a start so that's admirable. I think even Poch is still struggling with his English after 5 years.

Our players are going to have a Wenger hangover in terms of their mentality when it comes to playing ManU, hopefully we'll at least see some signs from these players of trying to beat ManU at OT with little fear. Changing the overall mentality will take a little time.

flobaba

I don’t think so.

Captain

We've won 3, lost 3 and drawn 2 in the last eight games against them. What hangover are we talking about specifically?

QuincyAbeyie

The one where we haven't beaten them away in the league since 2006.

Emery’s English has improved quite a bit from the day he was introduced. He needs a good pronunciation teacher. His vocabulary gets better with each interview.

It's very brave to do that but I'd still prefer if he gave interviews in Spanish. He's a very bright mind and has genuinely interesting insights

QuincyAbeyie

Something slightly worrying about the 3-4-1-2 that worked so well against Tottenham is that it's the formation that probably gives Martial and Lingard/Rashford most space in behind out wide.

Bring Back Kerrea Gilbert

Mustafi is injured so we won't play that formation anyway.
