ETH - Game Management
What was really impressive yesterday was how he switched tactics mid second half by flooding the centre of midfield and giving Bruno and Eriksen more space to hit Arsenal on the counter.
Be interesting to see how he approaches the team and the formation for Thursday. |

Thought he had them managing the game on Thursday really well, yesterday was a bit more loose imo. But bringing Fred on was a top move. Shows how lacking we are in competent attacking options that we ended up with only 1 recognised forward on the pitch. If we’d had another couple of options to freshen it from the bench we might’ve scored 5 or 6..

The best way I could describe it is the only time I can remember them actually attacking was martinellis header and the bit where saka dragged it wide and Arsenal wanted a penalty because he fell on malacia We were in control, yes Arsenal were on the front foot for large periods of the game, but it wasn’t a case of “ they will score in the next 5 mins” They are the team in form in the league too. It’s a bigger result than you think. |

We need to see more from VdB in terms of offering a further attacking option in midfield, but we badly need another forward to take the burden off the current lot, and provide us with another outlet. |

We’ve seen our four wins out really well.
One of our biggest failings in recent years has been how £#%&!ing dumb we are at key moments. We’ve added a real cynicism and cuteness in recent weeks. We run the clock down, slow the tempo and we’ve game managed really well. Different types of games and opponents too. It’s the side of our game that has surprised me the most. I expected him to have style, but he’s a good ‘match play’ manager too. |

No arguments whatsoever though - an absolute blissful match. United Arsenal encounters were my favourites in the 90’s too. Proper matches with loads riding on them but not the devastation associated with losing to city or the rats. Yesterday felt like one of them again. |

Our tactic was we’re fine to let them play because our defence is (suddenly) exceptional but we know they’re weak at the back and tactically naive (because they play such a high line) so we’ll pick them off on the counter. That’s why Rashford started over Ronaldo. The fact that Arteta then committed suicide with some of the worst subs made in premiership history was a unexpected bonus. Both Ten Hag and a few of the players confirmed that was our game plan. And it worked almost perfectly. Not sure we got away with anything. |

spoke to arsenal supporting mate today and he said it felt like the old days when we would let them play and then pick them off
i have to say it felt like that to me, was not often worried when they were attacking as our defence was solid. de gea made what, 2 or 3 proper saves? that mouth breathing drool addled menace saying we were getting ripped apart, arsenal looked much more ordinary in attack than previous motd highlights made me think |
