Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted April 5 Paid Members Share Posted April 5 So this happened. Stuck it on after the Liverpool game (Alexis Mac Allister is a lovely player to watch). I've never seen a team with United's resources defend or play like they do. It's almost impossible to fathom how they can be this bad. The same goes for Chelsea as well, though - a team with a midfield allegedly worth around £300 million that provides no cover for its backline, which has at least three players in it that can't or won't defend.

I would have thought after 9 or so years of United being a mess that it wouldn't still be amusing to me. It very much still is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not just Liverpool who are going to miss Klopp, the whole league is. Arsenal have scored the most goals this season and have been smashing teams left and right. But yeah boring Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now you can say that was a disciplined, mature performance all you want, and that is your prerogative, but I really don't care that it was Man City. You are chasing a title, you don't set up to get a point, when you know you have such outstanding attacking qualities. That's pathetic. If you have to leave yourselves open so be it. Go and outscore them. That's what Klopp would've done. That's what any other manager chasing a title would've done. I saw videos of Arsenal fans celebrating that 0-0 like a victory. Have some shame. Yes it's better than going there like you did last year and losing 4-0 or whatever it was, but you were all that happy with that? YOU'RE CHASING A FUCKING TITLE! I have no doubt that Arsenal will win a title sooner rather than later. OK fine. And they clearly play some nice football. OK fine. But Sunday was one of the worst games I think anyone has ever watched, and in my opinion a massive mistake. If they'd attacked and taken it to City (which again, let's just pause and remember that Chelsea have done it this season, a Spurs team with DAVIES and ROYAL as CBs have done it this season) they would've won. And won big. I don't think City are anywhere near as good as they were last year (especially the defence) which was at times, impossible levels to compete with. Arteta* can say he changed his style for one game and he was right to do it all along. To me the way he approached that game shows me he doesn't believe his team is that good enough to play the way they always play, and that's a detriment I'm afraid. *far, far too long talking about this cunt and I should be ashamed of myself.

Mr_Danger Posted April 5 Author Share Posted April 5 I won’t hear a bad word said against that Arsenal performance. Any team that takes points off our title rivals are fine by me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone tried to talk to me about where Spurs were going last week like I wanted to know the blueprint. It was boring for a neutral I get that, but as an Arsenal fan who has seen us get our pants pulled down multiple times in away games, the change was incredibly good to see. You rightly said Spurs went there and scored 3, and have often won there. But that style of football has a ceiling. You'll then lose 1 nil to Dulwich Hamlets or something. We can vary it up this season and we probably should have nicked that game. The lack of defensive resolve during the mid to late Wenger era really bothered me, it meant the football just wasn’t aesthetically pleasing to me even though at times we were lovely to watch. Arsenal don't give chances away now, but can also go out and pummel teams. Against City we couldn't lose. Title race over if so. It wasn't not thinking he couldn't win, it was knowing we could not drop all 3 points at this stage, a marked difference from last season against Liverpool where we tried to go toe to toe and conceded twice and should have lost it. If anything I think it shows Arteta does think we can win the league now. Team who don't concede chances usually go very close Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperBacon Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 1 hour ago, Factotum said: We can vary it up this season and we probably should have nicked that game Nah, you shouldn't have been in a position to "nick it", in my opinion you could've steamrolled them with the attacking quality you have. I genuinely believe that. We won't agree, and I'll always think it's pathetic to have a "just can't lose this" mentality (I'd accept it if you had half the team unavailable) and that's not me being anti Arsenal, it's just a philosophy I'll never understand or enjoy. But there we go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted April 5 Paid Members Share Posted April 5 From a neutral perspective, Liverpool winning the league would be the best solution all-round. It'll prolong Arsenal's hilariously long time without winning it and will make Arteta, who is a twat, sad. It means City won't win it, and nobody in their right mind should ever want them to win it. It also means United fans will probably stop singing the '20 times' song and will make their awful season worse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gooner Posted April 7 Share Posted April 7 Fantastic win for us yesterday. We looked very strong and in the end won comfortably. Seven games to go, looks like will need to win all of them, which will be tough but we've had a great 2024 so far after ending 2023 with back to back losses to West Ham and Fulham respectively. Spurs could have a big say in where the title ends up seeing as they have to play all three of us, just hopefully they need to play for something when their game against Manchester City takes place, so we know they can't just lie down and roll over for them. Now on to Bayern Munich and putting thr final nail on Harry Kane's trophy dreams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thevestofdeanambrose Posted April 7 Share Posted April 7 Unbelievable performance! I also believe we are going to need to pretty much win every game from now until the end of the season but even if we don't win the league this season, clearly it's coming. What a team Arteta is building! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
