I would actually keep Amrabat for next season as a backbup to a new 6. There's no way we will buy 2 6s. He seems happy to be a back up and we do not have options
An injury-hit/ridden decimated squad Makeshift team/bench Some hardly played a game Many youngsters Some of whom Never played a min of football Every team has injuries, true But they're not Utd No correlation Not connected Completely different Just something that sounds good to say Every team is different Different situations/circumstances Constant injuries So much happening all at once Impossible to build up any rhythm/momentum Forced in to making so many changes Which all doesn't help It's like some ppl choose to be dumb x Freak season in terms of injuries & the timing of injuries/length too Crap/soft goal to concede But proud of the team (with context) Considering/factoring in reality 😉 Nowadays (old&young) Not many ppl live in the real world 😉 Sofyan was ace ⭐ Performance wasn't amazing But could see a game-plan Structure to the team/plan Better shape etc. Garna was good But rough & unpolished & that's okay 🙂 Raw unfinished article Amad the same ⭐ Mainoo was class ✨ We missed Bruno 2day 💥 His unpredictability, creativity & magic 🪄 Also big up 2 Manchester United W.F.C. ♥️ GGMU 🔴
Really like your comment. Said it all in a nutshell. Well said!🙂
Garna good? 7 shots none on target and 10+ opportunities with the ball in the box with nothing to show? What on earth was you watching?
@@mm2801 He may have had a bad game today but he's been one of the better players this season. I personally would not want to call him out because a lot of players in that squad older than him have been far more poor in performances this season.
@dadajulius6489 this was a typical garancho performance. Wrong decisions time and time again, he's literally young rashford with less physical gifts but the same poor decision making with even less goal threat. These "good games" you type of fans praise are literally 5/10 performances.
@@mm2801 Yes, he's had other bad games, some average games but a lot more good games than so many other players in that squad! Why not call out other players that have been bang average all season so far? Why picking on a young player while not talking about how terrible the likes of Casemiro, Wan Bissaka, Lindelof, Tominay (thinks he's a striker and always goes forward like a headless Chicken thereby leaving huge gaps in midfield), Rashford, Amrabat, Antony have all been since the beginning of this season 2023/24 ?🙄
Play Amrabat with Mainoo.
The leaking roof and water pouring in everywhere at OT just sums up the state of this club
Give over
Get a life
The Glazers. End of
@@matthewbaker2573 Is there something wrong with u kid
Can't believe it hasn't even been patched over yet 😂
I thought Mainoo and Amad played well and apart from one dodgy pass Amrabat had his best game for us.
2 dodgy square passes either side, but one got neutralised quickly. But he showed so much more stability.
Amrabat was solid.
@@nazirkazi2588yeh by Amrabat 😂 no one else wins the ball back like him, in our squad
Rather than finding blames within, it was the most sensible "approach" taken by Arteta. He clearly has learnt from last season. Our "comfort zone" is attacking space but it isn't to break down teams, certainly with this squad with 12-13 injured and against the best defensive team. Some people might say that Arteta outclassed Ten Hag or Arsenal "didn't come out of 2nd gear", that's not true. United started Amrabat and Mainoo in middle, both "retention" players. Also, you could clearly see the tactical shift from Ten Hag - dropping Amrabat in a back 3 to outnumber Arsenal's pressing front 2. The setup of Ten Hag was pretty good but again, if you have to break a mid/low block, you need quality from the wings. Arsenal actually were okay with Garnacho but only to "cross the ball" because Saliba and Gabriel are good box defenders. Garnacho's crossing and decision making was poor at times but when he did beat White on 2-3 times, he missed the wonderful shooting opportunities also, albeit from far. Ten Hag isn't clueless, he isn't an idiot. He deserves criticism but the problem is we find scapegoats and absolutely "discredit" what he did last season and why he was brought in for a process in the first place. If Arsenal had our injury record, their lineup wouldn't have Saliba (Martinez), Gabriel (Varane), Tomiyasu (Maguire), Kiwior (Lindelof), Zinchenko (Shaw), Timber (Malacia), Partey/Jorginho (Mount), Trossard/Martinelli (Rashford), Odegaard (Bruno). And btw, Arsenal "derailed" last season because "1 CB", Saliba got injured.
Perfect comment No matter what one may think of a manager, I hate it when they're called names like IDIOTS or being referred to as CLUELESS! Well if they didn't have a clue they wouldn't be manager in the first place! I'm just from arguing with a person alleging " ETH IS WORST MANAGER IN WORLD FOOTBALL." I ask him what that assessment based on? He says he spent 400M in the transfer. How can one have a conversation with such a person???
Most of the people shitting on managers act as if managers have no training or experience or expertise, most professional managers are well versed with tactical know how, especially the like that manage top division across Europe, all of them are tactically well versed, it's often a lack of options in squad or how players switch off that hurts teams, or when they have a massive chunk of the main squad out injured.
Just about spot on mate ! .
The comment I'm looking for.. sensible and spot on.. not another deluded comments like others I've read..
nah facts are Arsenal just manage and condition their players better. Fyi, United have a bigger wage than Arsenal, supposedly have a better squad than Arenal
Yeah, Mainoo has been excellent .Really enjoyed his and Garnacho`s football.
I think Amrabat should have been given more games. I think him and Amad bring Mainoo in the midfield. Don't know why we stuck with the same broken midfield all season. Mainoo and Amrabat also got a draw at Anfield.
Youre right everytime eriksen start as cdm its a free highway for opponent .Havent seen him win a ball in a long time..
problem is even someone who is not ETH "favourite" plays a good game, he is benched next game is the favourite is fit. favouritism is big issue also.
Poor mans Fred
You are easily impressed. Amad kept dribbling and giving up the ball. Skillful, yes, nothing came from his play though. Far too selfish. Amrabat has played 19 games for United. Yesterday was probably his best, but one game cannot was away the other 18.
@@harrydestaffano565 i think he was better against Chelsea at home and his first game against Palace. I don't think he played a full 90 this season. Amad was better than Saka.
Why cant journalists ask Ten Hag what is happening to Hojlund. He hasnt managed 3 shots in the last 5 games combined! Thats criminal
Nobody is getting him the ball in any kind of decent position to attempt a shot. Same story all season.
@@scottsinner7530 Oh yes, in the 4th minutes he was given two balls running towards the Arsenal goal, the first one he lost it like a toddler, the second one he was totally free and kicked the ball over the bar. He was given other chances, but could not control the ball, he plays like a inept kid, get him out of the team and replace him with Wheatley.
@@anildoolah3442he slipped ffs for the second chance
@@scottsinner7530he dont even get himself in proper position. Stop being player fcm hojlund is best for the bench at most. He missed alot chance. Being striker needs to be clinical hes not.
He falls over for fun though. Can hardly control the ball too. McTominay was just the same
Amad like mainoo actually has composure on the ball 👍
But ten hag played Antony ahead of him, too biased
He hogged it multiple times when he should have passed it giving arsenal chances to regroup in defence
@@sunglee3935 in case you don't follow the news or just read an article here and there, EtH is the reason Amad wasn't sold in January. Amad wanted to stay and EtH made sure he did. Also, EtH's plan during preseason was to start giving Amad more minutes. It's Amad's injury that messed up EtH's plans.
@@matthewbaker2573I thought they didn't pass the ball to Diallo early enough.
@@matthewbaker2573 False, should have got a penalty for United, but not given.
Amrabat was a budget version of the player we need for next season. His long passing is poor and his short passing is good but sometimes goes totally wayward. He did a good job in this one and should have come in once Casemiro went to CB
Agree it was refreshing to see Amad starting at last. Amrabat played in DMF is a no brainer and should have happened more this season. Ste, did you see how dejected Andy Mitten was after the match trying to give his player ratings? He's looking near done, and when you've lost Mitten …
amrabat is one unlucky guy with his injuries this season because he is a great class player in all honestly... even the games he played he didn't look good or comfortable it was because he wasn't 100% is what i felt abt him overall this season. Wild thing to say but i'd give him another year, on loan, to prove himself a United player. if he's good, then I'd sign him.
Only way he gets another year is if injuries persist into the preseason and the club refuses to buy new defensive midfielders. Cheaper to pay for another loan year than bringing in a new player at top dollar. The reality is Amrabat only came in as a bandaid because Mainoo got injured preseason.
Amrabatt and Amad made a huge difference. More compact and good on the counter. Vast improvement on Mondays shambles.
Amrabatt and Amad did not make a huge difference yesterday. United lost, yet again. Yes I guess, an improvement on Monday but still United are awful. At no time yesterday did United come close to threatening the Arsenal goal, Onana had to make 3 or 4 saves. The most entertaining part of the game was watching the rain cascade down from the Old Trafford roof. United are full of poorly coached players, too greedy on the ball and lazy off the ball. Fire Ten Haag NOW!
Everyone speaks as though we’ve had our first 11 playing week in week out, if that was the case then I would question ETH. That has not been the case and the players coming in are not good enough, it’s that simple. Roll on next season.
It really came down to Amrabat and Evans. They were more disciplined positionally when we lost possession. It also helped that Dalot didn’t give much space to Saka who they tried to us as an outlet many times. Much better performance today. Still lack so much quality. AWB and Casemiro on the goal. My God. Awful. Will Ten Hag get the credit he deserves for setting us up correctly today? Doubt it.
Man sometimes when you see ferguson era players plat that you can appreciate the level. Evans at 35+ looks a better defender than most we have had since fergie left.
This is the problem with the fan base, Ten Hag set us up well and no one will give him kudos for that. Arsenal had their best team and probably were expected to win but the control we had this game is something to build on. You can't chase two timelines right now, we can't chase chance creation and control. Let's focus on control, chance creation and invention/freedom will come with us continually having possession and controlling the games. Honestly the blue print to hammer the instructions of game control/possession and positioning this summer is the sheffield and arsenal game. Start there everything else will fall into place.
Recently got back from Wembley, after watching the United Women deservedly lift the Cup after a fantastic composed performance. This result for the men’s team was genuinely surprising, massive question mark do they get anything more out of it going forward? Extremely likely not but there was something today
Replace Hojjland with Wheatley, and we will get more results. Hojjland is a total waste just like Rashford.
Saka just went down like a sack of shit every time anyone went near him. Ref did a good job ignoring him.
He does that a lot of times. Good referees should be aware of that before the match
One of the biggest divers in football
Like Erikson last season at old Trafford when martinelli went through and scored
@@user-qs7wx5sc5z thing is Odegaard full on pushed Eriksen in the back fella
@@steveharvison4197 Yet VAR said they got it wrong?
Amad, Mainoo and Dalot. Only players that showed something. Amrabat was ok too. The rest were as poor as it gets. Game was there to be won with better finishing and forward play.
Amrabat player of the match. And garnacho 2nd best.
Better finishing lol. You guys had 0 chances couldn’t create a good chance. It was run out wide pass and try and hit a long shot.
Amrabat is the business defensively.
Dalot is Freud
Amrabat was good and Garnacho put in an incredible shift. Fair play to him, his final distribution wasn't amazing but he was showing for it and having a go.
Watching Garnacho be so greedy is frustrating
He needs dropping until he can learn to pass, hojlund was in so many good positions today.
@@TIGCHOP99 100%. We play 2 burley ST's in Hoiland and McTominay and I can't remember a single cross. Everytime it's 10 touches and forcing a bad shooting position. Rashford 2.0 if he doesn't get someone teaching him properly.
@@Guttsdoyle Ultimately people don't like crossing to the big man as it's looked down upon but at the minute we need to play to our strengths. I'd take fellaini back if we could learn to cross 🤣🤣
That's 19 year old phenoms for you. Ronaldo as great as he became was intensely frustrating around the same age. Needs a manager and senior competition and strength training.
Garnacho had the most crosses on the team what are you even saying?
Amrabats best game for utd his defensive work was very good held his position well and made simple passes to those more accomplished on the ball such as mainoo.
Rasmus is the world's most expensive decoy player
he is far from ready, but we have no options, rasmus and garnacho imo should be impact subs at most in this stage.
@@henkkas2698 Absolutely!
@@henkkas2698 Disagree on Garnacho. He needed the experience and physical development (from playing PL matches) this season. This will only benefit him going forward. His biggest weakness RN is decision making. That will come.
Arsenal drop a 5/10 and leave old Trafford with a comfy 1-0 with the keeper having pipe and slippers on. The people saying it isn’t to bad really are delusional this is as bad as it’s ever been post Fergie
Arsenal have the best defense in the league, and they're title contenders. We have had 14 combinations at the back this season, and we aren't scoring goals. What do you expect ?
@@yungin_duh keep making them excuses lad, being 8th is clearly acceptable to you. Wonder how Madrid Bayern Barca PSG City would act in 8th place?
Don't try getting anything out of a brick wall. They have no patience to actually listen to another opinion out of frustration of our current state.
@@kingjames1101 i'm a realistic fan. Manchester United have been out of top 4 6 times in the last 11 years. the club isn't how it was in the Fergie era, people need to accept that .
I don’t understand how we’ve had close to 70 different injuries this season and Arsenal have had barely any. And we stole their club doctor too
Their former doctor was a plant to set them up for success this season by sabotaging United. Jokes aside, the current medical team has to be assessed. Something's off.
Amad gives me hope. He can dribble/beat his man, and his off the ball/defensive work rate is also tenacious enough. Hope he remains fit enough next season.
I thought Amad showed enough that he should start the rest of the games this season - unless his injury keeps him out. Amrabat showed what he is capable of in glimpses - why haven't we been seeing that all season? That performance was a huge improvement on they produce at Selhurst Park last game, and it gave me some hope that we won't get shagged by Newcastle or Brighton - both of whom also have some injury concerns.
The Arsenal keeper's kit at the end was the same as the start. He didn't have to make a save. Amrabat blocked the holes, Casemiro undid all of that. FA Cup win or bust.
Amrabat needed more game time this season and we should have kept Regiullon on loan cos we could have done with an actual LB !
Only reason Arsenal won was because they defended better. The one mistake changed the game. Evans and Casemiro at CB vs. Saliba and Gabriel probably the best partnership in the league. Swap the CB's it's probably a 0-0 game. Needed to work harder than Arsenal in the forward areas to make up.
You know what though! When we do eventually turn it around (and we will) it’s gunna be feckin lush
I would like to see us sign a CM, striker, and adequate winger to cover mainoo, hojlund and garnacho. They're 3 future stars of United and I'd like to see the protected and rested when they need it
Give amad credit in the thumbnail
Man U should make R Calafiori his number one target of the summer. He's a left footed centre back who can also play as left back. He's really good, could be world class and it won't break the bank. Juve wants him, to replace the grandpa we want to buy from them for many millions (classic last 10 years MU) So we need to move quickly.
At this point I’d rather see our wingers just looking to smash Hail Mary crosses into the box. Fuck the inverted runs to get a shot
Id like to get back to natural wingers rather than inverted or at least keep swapping during the game
I don’t know why ETH doesn’t give more playing time to Amad ,he’s got to play him at Wembley.
HES INJURY PRONE ASF
He went off injured sadly. Hope it’s nothing serious but not looking good.
Watching you share our suffering makes it a bit more bearable Ste 👌We will never give up hoping beyond hope,but this is taking 2/3 seasons at least to fix.
You could clearly see we were defending and keeping possession and our shape . Basically we had stable 3 man midfield with the attackers helping . Why he couldn’t do this earlier in the season is mind boggling.
He is fully on board with transitional basketball set up and players. Any players with technique and not speed who want to probe are out.
Because Bruno plays defacto as a second striker and we essentially play 424, like a game of FIFA. I'd play Bruno as a false 9 and have 3 in the middle. Rasmus doesn't get service any way so it's like having an extra player.
The defense pushed really high today. I loved that. Amad was quite good at keeping the ball. Garnacho had White today but that final pass was off. Dalot had a good game really.
Positives are: Dalot was decent, Amad showed his quality, garnacho was on it (lacked quality), onana had a good game, Evans was consistent and Amrabat had a decent showing
Amrabat was decent today.
They're advertising for the 'Clearance Sale at Old Traffed' this summer... ...at least I hope that's they're doing.
No idea how we think we were better? Arsenal were never under real pressure. It was similar to those games we used to play under SAF when we'd play a lower half of the table side and we'd be coasting at 1-0 but aware that if needed, we could step it up a gear and get another, only we were the lower half side.
There's always hope for the future, "always look on the bright side of life".
In all fairness if only we had played like that all season we wouldn't be discussing all this, I think we gave it a good go, credit amad he went for it hope he isn't badly injured. But once again a lacklustre casemiro..... other than that I was expecting us to be mauled, really enjoyed seeing Forson and kambwala they were great with the time they had. I gave antony his credit as well one thing he does really well is win the ball back high up
With hindsight, Ten Hag not giving Amrabat a proper chance at DM looks like a big mistake. Our central midfield is wide open when either Eriksen, Casemiro or Mctominay has played there, but today Amrabat shielded the middle far better than any of them. Did Ten Hag's trademark stubbornness cost us? Did this rigidity prevent him from starting Amrabat, even when we were regularly conceding 15-20 shots a game?
Amrabat finally got off the plane... With two games to go.
He was twice better than this in 2-1 win against Chelsea. He is better when we are in possession but we can't play like that with changing backlines and also majority attackers suiting counter-attacking style
You mean he finally got on the pitch. Ten hag has shafted him all season.
@@mundolioknows6447 because he's been poor majority of the time he's played. He had a good game today, let's not act like he's been great when he's played previously. He's probably had 3 games like this since he arrived... Including this one.
He kept Ødegaard quiet in this game.
@@Arctic_DudeWho has been one of arsenals best players this season. Annoying he hasn't started him more when case has been so bad
How come it feels like we never foul people or go in for hard tackles?? When ETH first came in I remember Dalot and Malacia were so aggressive (I’d always bet that they would get carded) And they’d celebrate every important tackle and that aggressiveness has faded massively
Seeing the downpour during the Thunderstorm & that leaky roof emphasises the state we are in
The floodgates of failure rain down upon Manchester United as Old Trafford weeps and mourns another loss.
make video about adam wharton,,,CM/DM player at crystal palace,,,,good attributes that would complement utd midfield,,,adam could form best duo with maino for years to come
Actually garnacho mainoo and dalot have this mentality to be in this future rebuild team 🫶
I was really disappointed with Garnacho's productivity today. Got on the ball many times in great areas, but gave away possession countlessly. His end product was either a tame cross into the Raya's gloves or a shot wide of the target. He had the best chance of the game with his wide open look and sent the ball into row Z. Amrabat looked good in spells, but still looks very janky and uncomfortable while dribbling, and played a few poor passes. Mctominay very negative with the ball as well. Arsenal sat back and asked us the question which we had no response to today, such a shame as they were there for the taking.
Amrabat was the big takeaway from the match, exactly the right foil for Mainoo. Unfortunately the wingers still need to deliver some better final ball, and not just hope they can get lucky. Garnacho needs crossing practice
That current United squad is littered with players that are: * Not just good enough. * Past their prime. The squad requires an overhaul urgently! Oh! By the way, at least some people may have seen how toothless United were upfront without Bruno Fernandes.🙄
The ONE thing about this season that ended up as a NOTEWORTHY positive and a blessing in disguise, are all the youngsters getting a chance to play in the Starting XI and coming on as subs. That wouldn't have happened if we had little to no injuries to key players. Great to see we have in-house talent for the future. Our season ended in January. I'm not in denial about that fact. There was no way playing a Frankensteined team every game was sustainable given the amount of key players injured. We are where we are and that leaky roof today was a symbol of how poorly-run this club has been for over a decade. If I was SJR and INEOS, my focus would be on implementing an immediate plan for a rebuild of infrastructure and human resources.
Mainoo and Amrabat had good games today, and CASHIMIRO is not a CB..
He's played CB well for Real Madrid. He just can't be bothered and his legs are gone.
This was mostly the team I've been calling for, for weeks. We've had Amrabat all season and he gives a lot more than McTominay, Casemiro and Erikson in that CM. Yes, his quality is lacking on the ball but united's biggest problem is our of possession. If we had played Erikson in CM today we would have been smashed! Also Erikson should be in the 10 not further back. Wan bissaka looked better at RB too and Dalot was still good at LB. If we can bring a CB or 2 for FA cup and Bruno and keep Kobi and Amrabat in CM we might make a fist of the final.
I would look to keep Amrabat as a holding mid.
For as many players as we have to go out and get, and with as many obstacles as we’ll have in getting them, if we can easily turn his loan into an affordable buy, I’d be good with that.
Amarabat I thought we're really good.
We did ok today. We’re also in relegation form and forget city and the final - I can’t see us scoring a goal against anyone. I think Paddock could beat this team.
With the roster we had today , why would anyone think we would win?. Of course we all want to win every game but let’s be realistic. Glory glory
Ratcliff and his crew are a positive
Ahmad needs to be given a chance next season. He was good today looked like our only dangerous player
Quite clearly need a massive overhaul, I hope we make use of some smart, cheap transfers of PL quality players like Tosin on a free or Barkley for a couple years from Luton while we’re transitioning.
Garnacho, amad and Mainoo had a good game
Looked like a training session. Still zero attempt to get Hojlund involved in the game. To be honest, Arsenal didn't even need to get out of second gear. Oh well, just 3 more games to go, thank god.
“Supposedly going for the title” well no, they are going for the title 😂😂
I wonder how many games Amrabat has played in central midfield for United. I dare say it's less than 10, I'd say less than 5 starts. The guy is a really good player.
Diallo made a great game.
I would love to see garnacho trough the middle. Anthony on the left Ahmed on the right.
GGMU women’s team 🔥🔥🔥🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
That was completely 'unpredictable'!! Who knew that when you try something different, you get different results. I have it said before, and most people think the same thing: MU's season ended a while ago, so it's better for both ETH and the team going forward to try different things (players/tactics/formation) and try to benefit from whatever is left of this season, instead of persisting with the same players/formation that failed you the entire season.
We didn't get a different result. It was another comfy win for the away team who did just enough.light work
@@neilthornton3544 I'm not talking about win/loss. MU's performance was slightly better, the defensive shape was slightly better, Amad instead of Antony was a better choice, playing Amrabat made the team more solid. If ETH played the same lineup and tactics he's persisting with, the game probably would have been very open, and MU would have been embarrassed again.
Proof ETH is a fan of the channel. Calling for change. Please do a video on getting Amad on the ball more. It might even happen
I had a great weekend, 4 days off because of Ascension day. Spent two of those four days drinking with friends at the Jazz festival we host yearly in the city I live in. Played soccer this morning, got robbed by the referee as is to be expected since we play at the lowest amateur level. Then went back to the festival with my family for mother's day. Went out for dinner afterwards and just got home.
Very nice Lucas. Yanited still shite club.
I feel United shouldn’t make the mistake of letting a midfielder like Amrabat go back to Italy in the summer. As a squad player, who else are you going to get for £20m with the wages he is on and what he offers? They made this mistake with Sabitzer and to be honest for next season depending on who is sold, United can do with all the Midfielders they can get their hands on right now.
I guess we win at least 1 of the 2 games remaining and may draw 1 or even win both. Next season with ETH will be great to watch United if we get a good and Young CDM.
We just gonna gloss over the fact that casamero played the arsenal man inside
3 positives- 1. Kobe’s mint, 2. Dalot has shined, 3. It’s nearly the end of the season
How doesn’t Amad give you hope he was better than Mainoo today
I can’t believe Onana cleared long when Casemiro was still so deep behind the rest of the defence and out of the game. Then at least Casemiro should have sprinted up to play Havertz offside. . ?.?.
It is now clear for starters that Antony isn't fit to lace Amad's boots. Amad MUST start from here on in. That was, I agree, a decent performance from Amrabat and maybe there has been a player there all along and we haven't used him. It was not what you would call our first choice midfield, but they did well. Dalot again was outstanding and had Saka in his pocket. I fully expected to be beaten, couldn't see a win for us so despite the fact we were always in the game at 0-1 down, it was a better performance than I expected. It's tough time to be a United fan, but it can only get better from here........ Ancelotti anyone?
Well played to the lads apart from the goal conceded I won’t point at one player because as a team their lost concentration. Onana did well 7, AWB 6 didn’t do much, Dalot put Saka in his pocket, Casemiro 5 because of that error, J.Evans 5 couldn’t do much, Amrabat 7 did really well despite a few stray passes, Mctominay 4 did nothing apart from aimlessly running, Kobbie 5 looks burnt out, Ahmad 6 did well felt if he’d played as a 10 as he can dictate tempo, Garnacho 4 was wasteful isn’t the 1st time, Hojlund 5 was constantly trying to no avail feel Garnacho could’ve squared the ball instead of aimlessly shooting. Subs - Antony 4 flop as usual, Kambwala, came on late ,Erickson- came on late , Forson too, Wheatley too
Let’s hope we get back some players back soon because we need it badly
Utd don’t play a number 10 and the midfield isn’t so open? Bizarre, how could that possibly be? 🤔 You would almost suspect the extra man in midfield helped fill the gaps, crazy just crazy. Whatever next? wingers that both track back for 90 minutes and fullbacks that tuck in to stay compact?
I don’t mind this loss so much
I felt LVG rein was worse......but...can't wait for the season to end. Start afresh...we all hope
You mean the saka with great numbers saka. All the arsenal players weren’t offensively but saka has been good for weeks agaisnt better teams
Yeah that one. He was complete garbage today. “World class” players don’t put in performances like that, in big games like that.
Garnacho's decision making is ficking atrocious. He's got bags of potential but he is not ready for a starting position. He should be getting games to develop but as a substitute or sporadically starting.
In 1963 we won the cup when just outside relegation places.
We were at OT with the crowd up for it. If that was at Arsenal it would've been an ass-whupping.
Been watching this team carefully this season and we have to keep the quality and clear out the rest, a total rebuild is needed, which wont happen in 1 season. Keep Martinez, Kambwala, Varane (if he wants to stay), Dalot, Mainoo, Amad Garnacho (who needs coaching properly) and Højlund (as the backup striker), and the rest I dont care about. We need new left back, right back, 2 - 3 center backs, 3 midfielders, new wide forwards and new striker .... and new manager & coaches IMO
I think our wingers and wing backs must learn to cross instead of trying to score by themselves. They are far more predictable that way in adsence of mix and matching.
I'd play amrabat and mainoo in the next match again
2:10 speaking on Amrabat. That does sum up his season with us so far, but i think it's been an unfair reason not to start him. He does the donkey work, but he looks clunky on the ball. Well we have others that are good with the ball but don't do the work. We need both. I'd have given Amrabat a lot more game time, personally. Let him stay in the side.
Because of dearth of players in the playing 11, Mainoo's natural attacking play has been curbed. He has to defend more than attack. Hence, we are loosing on the element of surprise. It is important to build a team around him and Bruno to succeed.
Other teams lose 2 players to injury and fall to bits and nothing but sympathy from the media. TalkSPORT will do a hour special on the leaking roof and 4 min on arsenal staying in the title race 😂
I thought we played well for a patched up team against a team chasing the title. Lots of positives for me. (i thought arsenal were nowt to write home about)
"Snuck a goal.........."
Strange how amad didn’t get a mention he was our best player today.
Gotta say I’ve had this game on my mind all week thinking oh fuck.. we still lost but as you said not as bad as we thought.. Casemiro wtf lazy as fk
I don’t think Arsenal really took many chances. They just wanted to get a goal and bounce. I seriously don’t think we’ll win or tie any of the last 3 matches. It’s bad here…
