Essential The Official Football (Soccer) Thread - New season, same old United

[jj23]

Thanks for not Laying down Liverpool.

In another life this would have been 7-2

Arsenal have a but of grit, we just need to be better going forward.

 

[Ukbrotha]

Why? (Again, new fan)

They need someone to 1 v1 Mahrez. Gabriel will be busy with Odinson.

 

[hashmander]

martinelli is lucky he had a goal and an assist in the first half because his 2nd half was ABYSMAL and this is the kind of offense that should have you walking home.

Why? (Again, new fan)

No worser time to be a new fan and asking seasoned fans after a game like this
But to answer, Tierney is a better defender than the regular LB Zinchenko. Arsenal and City play similar styles and Arteta must play Tierney to shore up the defence but also play on the counter to combat City's position play away from home. If he goes like for like with City it will likely end up like when they beat us in January.

He could have played that so much earlier

Lol i get it. Appreciate the help fellas.

You guys are on spice if you think Arteta is dropping Zinny for Tierney

Even when Zinny was out he was playing Tomiyasu ahead of him. If Zinchenko is fit he plays its obvious at this point though I have nothing against Tierney thats just how it is.

i have less issue with the timing and more with the quality of the ball. you can't be bending that towards the keeper, straight in front of saka and he either gets a goal or squares it to trossard.

 

[KnowledgeDropper]

City will drop points at least one game due to Champions League rotation and playing relegation fighting teams (Leicester, Everton, West Ham, Leeds)

Still in Arsenals hands

 

[KnowledgeDropper]

When is Saliba back? Could use him against the Neanderthal

Hes back for the City game regardless by force if necessary

I'm not trying to see Rob scrap with that guy again.

 

[SubZeroDegrees]

Everybody grilling Martinelli when Saka was worse on the pitch. Konate pocket breh.

If I'm Arsenal I would try signing Bobby on a free.

 

[Instant Classic]

I felt Arteta got the subs wrong and I know I should be content with a point at Anfield. However, it doesn't feel good when you choked a lead like that.

Roy “2 banks of four” Hodgson making a managerial comeback

 

[Nitro Tuggle]

Still, City look more likely to drop points than Liverpool

Wrong season bro
