Matchday 1: Manchester United vs Arsenal - Sunday Aug 19, 16:30

Seems to have Arteta's number, but they are still down 1-0.

flobaba

USArsenal what number are we talking about? They haven't been good at all - we've been quite poor this half

flobaba

HomeSteak for a top quality player. Yep agreed. You find a pass, or you get your shot off.

Kel Varnsen

Gabriel has been terrible. Total mess so far.

flobaba

Kel Varnsen Gabriel???

Klaus

Kel Varnsen He looked poor when he pushed up, but also poor when defending. Think we gave him a competitive start too soon.

Coombs

Saka = Poor
Rice = Poor
Saliba = Poor
Martinelli = Poor
The rest have been mixed, other than maybe big Gab and Calafiori.

Team-wide problem, not individual. Arteta's not nailed it.

Qwiss

Coombs apart from the goal Calas been poor too. Totally AWOL. Whate shaky too.

Agree it's on the manager when it's everyone. Needs to sort it at half time. Definitely need our full backs doing their defensive jobs first. Need more width in attack. Noni on the left at 60 if things don't change maybe.

GooneriC

We aren't playing to Gyoks strengths , understandable due to bedding in but we need to find a way. The guy is itching for a small chance in the box .
Odegaard has been absolute shit when we are breaking , given the ball away or passed to no one.

Don Pacifico

GooneriC We aren't playing to Gyoks strengths

He's having to play as an auxiliary winger, which is pointless. Early days so hopefully not a sign of things to come.

Edit: Ugh, these half-time interviews, who cares....?

Don Pacifico

flobaba they've found space incredibly easily. That they've not capitalised on it yet is a reflection of their mid players.

USArsenal

flobaba

I was being sarcastic. He can't have Arteta's number when they are down 1-0. They have been a lot of pressing and running, without much quality. We haven't been any better, but at least we have the goal.

Lukazan

HomeSteak What 😂

Klaus

How fucking long is Dalot allowed to hold the ball?

Tactics

flobaba Odegaard has been quite good IMO but the rest of the team has been meh.

We need to bring on MLS for Cala, otherwise that stupid ref is gonna send him off

Coombs

flobaba yea, what?

HomeSteak

Amorim taking Arteta to school again. They are finding space all over the place, but I'm expecting us to change it up and be better in the second half. Goykeres is strong as fuck but he should have done so much better with that pass

This team is always so anxious when playing United away, we were more relaxed vs Real Madrid, I swear.

lorddulaarsenal

Get Noni on.

Don Pacifico

Looking worryingly nervy in defence and blunt in attack. Shades of last season but I'm hoping it's more of a reflection of Amorim and his ability to neutralise Arteta.

RowJimmy

Don Pacifico
They're set up to use the width of the OT pitch well.

RocktheCasbah

I think I need more wine.

flobaba

Coombs Defence has been shaky. Entire back four. Strange to pick out Gab. He misplaced one pass.

Meatwad

for me it's hard to blame arteta's negativity when every single one of our attackers has been shit. damn they're ugly out there.

lorddulaarsenal

Need to get our act together otherwise it’ll be the Sesko storyline - predictable eh

Qwiss

USArsenal that was a bad cross but the one earlier where Martinelli fluffed the bicyci was great.
