I'm fully aware that we 'should' be winning this game. I'm also aware that we historically find a way to lose against them when they are not very good. Obvious statement, I just want to win and take it to the last day.
Absolute stroll for Arsenal, they are exactly the opposition we cannot play against; hard working, hard pressing, creative in midfield, convert their chances. The actual opposite of ten Hag's United team in fact.
If Casemiro plays CB again this could be a total and utter blood bath. He cannot be allowed to vacate his position at will and do whatever he wants like against Palace. I know he's regressing as a player that's still no excuse for his football IQ and overall brainpower to evaporate from his skull into the clouds. He needs to do better. Onana needs to improve too he's got talent makes great saves but let's himself down more than he'd like. Look even if United had a healthier squad and was in better form other than placating fans there's very little incentive and motivation value to win this match. The Ferguson and Wenger rivalry has long been resigned into history there's no bad blood between these clubs anymore and any United result hands title to City which no one wants. Game prediction: 5-1 Arsenal.
I remember the final game of the '99 season, United at home to Spurs, and Les Ferdinand put Spurs ahead which would have handed the title to Arsenal. I glanced across to the away fans and even 120 yards away you could see they weren't celebrating and some even had their heads in their hands. That's how I'll feel if (miraculously) United go ahead against Arsenal this weekend.
and then we'll blag something against City and hand the momentum back to Arsenal One of the last home games of the season, hopefully United do the business here.
Man Utd are the underdogs here. If Ársenal cant beat this not very good side then they should really be mid-table. Ársenal are banning their fans from taking crossword puzzles, books and sudoku into home games, starting from the beginning of next season. Man utd have so many injured players at the moment that memberrs of the catering staff will be in the 11 tomorrow. So there is no excuses for not beating man utd, To be fair, man utd have had so many of their top players injured in every game of this season that it is incredible this young team has managed to be in a place near the top, that they have managed to achieve.
If Spurs win on Tuesday I'm going to the Seven Sisters road and blaring out Chas & Dave on repeat for 7 hours.
DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN TO MAAARGATE. Arsenal XI: Raya White Saliba Gabriel Tomiyasu Partey Rice Saka Odegaard Trossard Havertz United's XI: Onana Dalot Casemiro Evans Wan-Bissaka Amrabat McTominay Mainoo Garnacho Hojlund Diallo
Will be massively surprised if Arsenal dont win this in a canter, Casemiro as a CB again? this could get messy. Just threw a fiver on Havertz grabbing 2+ goals.
If this was a match in November time, I'd be demanding all the blood and violence and an absolute pasting. Please, just win. Get the three points, go home, say a little prayer for Spurs and let's emulate one final comparison with Geroge Graham's Arsenal and win the title on the last day. I don't care if it's 1-0 or 5-4. Just. Win. Far far far too much confidence in and around us today. I do not like it.
I've been here before man. Three occasions come to mind: - 2013/2014 (Moyes) - 2015/2016 (Rashford's league debut) - 2021/2022 (Carrick as caretaker) We lost all three. We're ****ing 1/4. These games....the big games that we're expected to win. These are the ones we LOSE.
