Arsenal Vs Cardiff

Forgot about this lol

Should be a straight forward win. Heard Jenkinson and Mavrapanos were in training but no AMN or Licht. Interesting.

Expecting 3 at the back actually.

Also think Ozil will start.

Auba Hattrick needed
time to stat pad

Leno; Lichtsteiner, Mustafi, Monreal, Kolasinac; Elneny, Guendouzi, Torreira, Ozil; Lacazette, Aubameyang

That back four makes me ill.

Ozil captain tonight.

Mavropanos and Jenkinson are on the bench.

That entire team bar the front 3 n Torreira makes me ill

Cardiff are bottom of the league...

Why not give Saka a try lol?

Looks 4-4-2 diamond

both teams should have had penalty so far

by RealGunner Tue Jan 29, 2019 8:18 pm

How can you see this and not want anyone in ffs

what a poverty team

Imagine turning up in the rain and snow to watch our shitty team. Laughing

I don't like accusing the team of not trying hard enough, but you wonder sometimes when you see so little movement and so many lost duels. Cardiff were always going to scrap and buy as many set-piece opportunities as they, so the team should have been aware that they need to match that effort.

Besides that, the diamond has flopped. We haven't managed a shot since the 19th minute.

by Sina Tue Jan 29, 2019 8:45 pm

of course when you have 3 mids who are best staying behind the ball diamond is ineffective

by Jay29 Tue Jan 29, 2019 8:48 pm

Iwobi on for Elneny. Elneny was extraneous in that half.

Btw, wondering why we didn't play Mavropanos when Cardiff have been so dominant in the air.

YESSSSS at last

3 points, Man Utd losing at home as it stands.

Good stuff!

by Jay29 Tue Jan 29, 2019 9:43 pm

Burnley winning would be a useful bonus considering United will certainly make back those three points at the weekend.

It wasn't a good performance but Lacazette's battling spirit made the difference.

Now we just need to hope the new signings will give us our attack an injection of creativity.

Starting to think Perisic could help us Laughing

Suarez almost certainly will with his technical ability if nothing else.

Aubameyang was dire despite his goal, I think he needs a rest but we can’t afford to give him one.

Also, Guendouzi is good. When a kid like him gets fouled as often as he does, you know he's got something about him. He's not flustered on the ball and teams feel like the only way to stop him progressing the ball is to clip him.

Once he matures and puts on some muscle, he'll be a very good player.
