Vesper 31,180 Posted September 4, 2022 Share Posted September 4, 2022 not all sold on this part of the Arse side bold is oki Ben White Gabriel Magalhães William Saliba (potentially can work out, need to see more) Rob Holding Kieran Tierney (far too often injured) Oleksandr Zinchenko (I would use him as a holding MFer) Takehiro Tomiyasu Cédric Soares Thomas Partey Granit Xhaka Mohamed Elneny Albert Sambi Lokonga Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LAM09 7,100 Posted September 4, 2022 Share Posted September 4, 2022 As expected, Arsenal stumbled at the first notable hurdle. Arteta's poorly timed triple substitution cost them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pizy 19,377 Posted September 4, 2022 Share Posted September 4, 2022 Wonder how sustainable United’s “play shit and still win” football is. They’ve been pretty subpar in every one of these 4 straight wins and were comfortably outplayed today yet still won 3-1. I think once the season goes on they’ll struggle against teams that can smother any of their trademark counters since that appears to be their only real source of goal threat still. Still, United are done being the utter embarrassment that they have been in recent years. They’re a competent team now. Just incredibly boring at the moment.

Tottenham is boring. United have now transformed into this hard working team with players that work for each other. Their shortcomings IMO, are just the lack of a good CM to compliment Casemiro (but even Fred and McTominay can do the donkey work in midfield and entrust Bruno and Eriksen to be creative), and good CB options on the bench. No team would like to resort to bringing Maguire off the bench to protect a lead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoroccanBlue 5,408 Posted September 4, 2022 Share Posted September 4, 2022 Thought it was refreshing to see a team that delivered as many through balls as United. Always looked forward vs passing it backwards until De Gea or the CBs are caught under pressure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, as Chelsea fans it sounds a bit rich calling anyone else boring but at least we’re boring in the “dominate the ball but struggle to put chances away” kind of way. We at least try to play football. United just sit deep, have like 30% possession, and smack the ball long to wide areas or try catch teams on the counter. That’s way more boring to me. It’s effective and getting results but for the most expensively assembled team in history I’d expect more. Blue Armour 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OneMoSalah 9,122 Posted September 5, 2022 Share Posted September 5, 2022 (edited) 15 hours ago, LAM09 said: His impact against Bournemouth - Nunez was slated for the same thing yesterday because his side didn't win. There are always double standards. The number of touches are irrelevant, even more so considering he got an assist for Gundogan’s goal…. I mean if someone only has 8 touches but still provides and assist or a goal, how is that an issue? That’s still contributing to the team. Using touch maps is pointless, particularly if someone has provided a goal or an assist. Even the other games where Haaland has scored or assisted, I bet his touches aren’t that high. Aguero was the same under Pep. Because he was in and around the box more than coming to feet. Or he was stretching teams making runs off the ball. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2022/08/14/erling-haaland-eight-touches-two-passes-man-city-bournemouth/ even the telegraph stated in an article that despite only having 8 touches he pulled Bournemouth apart.
