2022/2023 Premier League Discussion

Arteta ruined the balance with those subs, went full out attack. A draw at OT would’ve been fine for them.

wtf is Xhaka XD

CR clearly gonna have issues, hes crying again cos teammates not teeing him up for tap in n headers XD Can see him causing disruptions n problems of Ten Hag

from getting battered by Brentford and Brighton in the opening 2 games to being 3 points off first

all it took was benching Maguire, we have the best backline in the league with Dalot Varane Martinez and Malacia

nah son we conceded the 2nd before that... that goal was our undoing... really really poor defending. Why would we play a high line vs a good counter attacking team. Was stupid and silly, looked like the Arsenal of old. Soft at the back.

It will be all about how they respond now after this loss in regards to how much they've improved. Thursday night, Sunday afternoon is gunna be a grind though. Midfield already thin with injuries.

Dalot is surprising a lot of people including myself.

This is going to be...one long season.

Spoiler:

counter attacking team they say

United fans are milking this win so much it's crazy, just shows how far they have fallen and that they deem us superior

most of the core Arsenal fans didn't say a word of bragging for our first 5 wins, just stayed grounded and reasonable, and yet we are still top

Arsenal are a bitter rival for United fans around my age, ofc we're milking the win. The fact you were unbeaten and had a lot of numpty hype around ya is just the icing on the cake. Nothing to do with thinking you're superior lmao, you've been in the CL like 1 time in the last decade mate. three weeks of good performances don't make up for 15 years of near irrelevance.

Solid moment for us, battered you and Pool in the last couple weeks. We gon' keep rising to the top. You'll be in a battle for CL qualification.

1 game is the difference between Arsenal and Man Utd, 3 points. Anyone can be the league leader after 5-6 fixtures tbh. Even Brighton, nearly

Lolwut
This wasnt all that lol. This was most of us 'reasonable and grounded' United fans here trying to change a stupid narrative that's been spouted all through the media, thats all. I am not even talking about rivals, let alone Arsenal fans or pundits.
Instead even a large portion of our fanbase are acting as if Ten Hag has abandoned his philosophy and embraced Oleball after 2 games.  I mean how dumb can they be. I am not sure they are watching the matches anymore. Utterly clueless idiots flocking in droves and moaning when they arent seeing sexy champage football after a month of ETH's tenure. They are blind to see small but sure changes that are happening with our tactics and mentality. I dont care where we finish honestly this season. We will falter big time when games pile up and Varane picks up an injury. But ultimately it will be the best season post SAF if ETH can imprint his clear identity by the end of the season and push all the deadwood out. It will be a better season than any of the fake 2nd/3rd places we had under Mourinho/OGS.

And btw if anyone was deeming you as superior it was none other than your fans mate. You played which all teams so far again, please remind me Everyone but Arse fans can see your team is not experienced/deep enough to sustain this start. And your midfield is a bit crap. I can see Arsenal finish in top 4 though. But Arteta has been in charge for like 3 years and now and have spent lots. So, no excuses

hopefully the queen's death doesnt postpone football, cant really afford to with the WC.

It would be absurd to postpone anything.

Isn't the nation supposed to mourn for 10 days? That means all games before the internationals will be postponed. At the very least the day of the funeral which will be next week

fuck that noise, only certain workplaces will be closed, why would they postpone football ffs

just do it for the funeral day

imagine if that is the case, lmao what a load of bullshit

Apparently decision to be made today. This weekends games are rumoured to be called off across the board while next weeks go ahead.

disgusted if so

fuck all monarchies

FFS had a football day + barbeque planned, weekend partially ruined

I guess next weekend will also be rescheduled due to the funeral?

Silver lining, its good news for Klopp to sort out some shit

Think the funeral is on Monday so business as usual that weekend

Does the world really have to stop for this funeral? I’m sure the people who want to pay their respects or watch the funeral on TV would prioritize that if they had let everything run as usual.

the world isn't stopping though is it the Queen is quite big in the UK and commonwealth so cancelling certain engagement is the right thing to do out of respect. Uefa games will still go ahead as planned
