PL: Manchester Utd vs Arsenal |Monday 30th September | KO 20:00 | Sky Sports

[Ricardinho]

Every year your hatred for Yanited grows. As does mine..

I had burning hatred for united in years we were title rivals. Mellowed in recent years.

We still have fans here who literally pop out of the woodwork after an Arsenal game so I still hate them.

 

[GoonerBoy19]

United's last 20 games : W5 D5 L10 GF18 GA29.

Yes but I get it Lingard will turn into Messi again and probably Greenwood will open his account against us.

2-0 to United with Xhaka red card.

 

[Mitch]

It was a goal against Villa that made Macheda Diaby like overrated.

 

[Hleb's Sirush]

What about three at the back?

That might actually be a simple way to stop our midfield being overrun. The midfielders wouldn't have to cover acres of space including having to cover the flanks so much, they could concentrate covering the middle of pitch. Resulting in not allowing the opposition a straight path to run at our CB's. It is only a viable option if we have Bellerin, Tierney or Kola on his good days. No point playing that system with AMN or with Kola having his usual game.

Ofcourse you can't suggest the 3 at the back formation without people frothing at the mouth in here. It is automatically seen as a negative tactic. It is far from negative with the right personnel.

I wouldnt be against it, we cant play as open as we have been, if we do we will do a good job of making utd look good

 

[drippin]

I'm basically okay with a draw, loss is not acceptable. 13 years without a win at OT is a long long time.

I remember some game with Wenger when we had humongous amount of shots, and they just countered and ruined us.

I think it would be okay tactic to be a bit defensive to lure them, and hit with Auba & Pepe. They can't press like Liverpool and can't break bus tactics.

Basically only way to lose that way would be Xhaka, Luiz or Sokratis penalty in the box, or some bad luck otherwise. And with counters it's quite possible to win, even against Liverpool we had some good chances.

 

[GDeep™]

Depends on the game, I mean I won’t be ok with a draw if they’re poor and we’ve battered them for 90 minutes.

Then if it’s a tough close game between two even teams on the day, you happily take a draw at OT.

 

[GDeep™]

Emery and the players come into this game without any baggage too, most are new and have not been here for some of the comedy moments we’ve had at OT previously.

Better team, much better manager, I’m positive

 

[Preacher]

I would use this midfield:

Willock-Guendouzi
Torreira

Knowing Emery, we'll try to play counter-attacking football. United are useless in possession when there is no space to run in.

Torreira would shield defence. Guendouzi would be mainly responsible for passing, connecting defence and attack. Willock would be the main ball carrier in the midfield.

 

[bojed]

Chambers/Bello---Mustafi---Holding---Tierney.

Couldn't care any less with the rest of the team, Xhaka included.

United are doing their best to finish 12th in the league, so we'll give them that.

Mustafi? Are people giving him a chance again after two okay games against Frankfurt & Nottingham? I would need at least 10 good games without a mistake to consider him in the EPL or big games.

This is considering Luiz and Sokratis have made mistakes too, but they don't have amazing life time experience of it.

[Lady_Gooner]

I don’t know what sort of hex has been put on us at this stadium because no matter who they play or don’t play we find a way to be terrible at old trafford

 

[Mark Tobias]

I'd argue we've been to Old Toilet with this before and still not got a result but I agree. We should be optimistic in some way about this. We have a chance to make a statement.

 

[Lady_Gooner]

If we allow lingard to score against us again..............

 

[celestis]

Pogba is back for United. Martial will make it as well according to Gollum. Wan Bissaka is starting in the cup game.

Bro the hatred is so strong, I'd legit consider giving up points just to go that ****ing toilet and smack them 3-0.

Well we gave up points to Watford so that's got to count for something.

 

[UpTheGunnerz]

Leno
Niles Holding Luiz Kolasinac
Torreira
Guendouzi Willock
Özil
Pepe Aubameyang

 

[dbig]

Should be optimistic but too many years of terrible referring against us there has made me afraid to dream.

 

[razörist]

If we allow lingard to score against us again..............

Jesse Lingard's last goal... 5 December 2018 vs Arsenal.
