if you’re putting any hope in United you may as well start applying the clown make up as well

 

If United win I'll make Antony my new pic for a week.

 

Copa final going to PKs

 

Was looking up some of Arsenal’s defensive stats and they are genuinely insane.

Yesterday, Raya made the most saves he has had to make for 67 days. Two.

Our expected goals against in 2024 is 4.98. The next best is Man City, which have 12.28.

We’ve conceded four goals this calendar year, and we’re in April. Next is Man City with 10.


and my favourite:

Arsenal clean sheets - 14
Chelsea wins - 12


Gabriel and Saliba is the best CB duo in the world. By far. The only CB i could see being in the TOTS ahead of them is VVD and even then, I don’t think it would be fair.

 

Old Firm derby is fun. Celtic 2-0 up at half time. Rangers got it back to 2-2 with four minutes to go, Celtic regained the lead a minute later, and Rangers have just equalised in the 93rd minute.

 

Full home league debut for Kambwala should be interesting v Salah & co.

In fact, looking at United's XI, surely they don't try anything other than parking the bus? I know their at home and their fans want attacking football but yeah.

 

Amass on the bench, that’s cool! He’s a big talent.

Nah we will play the same fucking shite we do every week and get pumped. Liverpool probably going to break the record for most shots ever in the league.

 

This is wild.

 

You'll get a suicide midfield and you'll like it

 

Like fuck. I know it’s at home. But fill the fucking midfield. Mainoo is going to be left out to fucking dry. Amrabat isn’t good but get him and McTominay in and just make it difficult for them to get through. Drop 2 of the front three and have Amrabat, McTominay, and Mount in there. Won’t be great attacking football but we don’t get that anyway. We got lucky in the cup, everyone can see that except the manager for some reason.

 

Absolutely lashing it in Manchester, by the way, so that will only add to the entertainment levels for the neutral lol

 

100%. Playing the best midfield 3 in the league, you need bodies in the middle. We won't match the quality but at least make it tougher for them. 3v2 in the middle will always be a mismatch.

 

5 minutes in and we look shattered already from the suicide ball.

 

Two man midfield both up at left wing. What the actual fuck?

 

Unreal how much time our players have to set up shots. Ten Hag doesn't have a ton of options but he's misjudged this badly. We just have to play into the midfield space and switch it to Robertson on the overlap who can then pick out one of three or four players free between the lines.

 

He didn’t misjudge anything. This is how we set up every single game without fail.

we played the same way against Newport and struggled off the ball just as much. The amount of space our midfield leaves for the opposition is actually hilarious.

 

Have to laugh at the United fans who clap back at ETH when he comes out the tunnel. Based on what I read elsewhere, he's not really wanted is he?

 

Oh look, literally no change to our set up made at half time.

 

Many things wrong with United obviously, however - what is actually the point of Rashford at the minute? Complete non entity.

(He'll score now and shut me up, but still)

 

Takes a LOT for the match going fans to turn on the manager. Backed Ole, and Mourinho till the end.

 

LMAO

 

Suicide ball infects all

 

That's one way to score against Liverpool, I guess lol

 

jesus christ reds
