We can't just stop signing players that are under Raiola.

He is the biggest agent right now in football and we should expect great talent to work with him.

Nice, only change I will make is Tuanzebe instead of Lindelof to deal with Auba if he escapes AWB...

Yeah that is a good call. I would do that as well but not sure of the fitness of Cavani or Tuanzebe. Everybody fit i might actually prefer Cavani to start as well with Greenwood off the bench.

I'll take off one of Cavani or Greenwood for Pogba just so we have firepower on the bench should we be losing going into the 2nd half.

Also, I will start Tuanzebe over Lindelof to deal with the searing pace of Aubameyang...

Aubameyang plays from the left, so AWB will do the Lord's work.

For now, we should keep Pogba out of the starting 11.

We have to start with Greenwood and Cavani, no time for experiment , that was the mistake we made against Chelsea.

That match is unpredictable because it seems that both managers set up their team and lineup based on the opposition's tactics.

However, the likely weak link in the Arsenal backline (If they use 4 defenders) is Gabriel because of his style of play, but he's a huge threat from set-pieces.

AWB should have Auba in his pocket hopefully. Not sure about Shaw against Willian.

United's midfield is stronger, so that battle should be easily won.

I think OGS will approach that game same way he’s approached games since the international break. He’ll put out a balanced team suitable for either counter or possession-based football then make the most of his subs.

I’d like to see Matic start because I think Arsenal will give us enough space to build from the back. Greenwood should also start. Arteta will park bus.

Pogba should come from the bench. He has the ability to change the game. Him and Greenwood

Pogba played very well in 4 - 4 - 2 formation against Leipzig...You should be fair in your criticism of the lad...

Starting Rashford, Cavani and Greenwood will see Ole left with no guaranteed goal scoring option on the bench and for Football, you don't play all your cards at once...If we are losing, you don't expect our first point of call to be Pogba, VDB and Mata even though they pose a certain degree of threat...

Against Chelsea, the mistake Ole made was starting James and Mata...Replace them with VDB and Greenwood and we would have been far more threatening...

If Arsenal will go the usual 3 at the back. I will prefer Cavani to lead the line.


Wait I thought Everton is our next match?

Raiola has done United dirty. If they keep dealing with him, expect more drama. It'll never end.

Pogba rumors are calm now simply because he isn't the focal point again.

I am quite certain that Arteta will start with 3 at the back (Luiz, Gabriel and Tierney) flanked by 2 wing backs (Bellerin and AMN)...He'll as well park the midfield and hope to catch us on the break.

I just hope Ole starts Tuanzebe to deal with the pace of Aubameyang if he breaks free...

I don't think Gabriel will be the weak link o! That guy has looked very good since he joined Arsenal.

I am confident of our chances especially if our 2 destroyers start... grin grin grin

In the absence of Martial, it will be interesting to see who Ole starts alongside Rashford...Cavani or Greenwood?

Whatever OGS sets up will need 3 defenders at the back, and 2 wingbacks. In that case, McTom will have to play as the 3rd CB, while Fred does the roaming.

Gabriel overlaps a lot, and that's something Rashford loves, because there'll be space to exploit. Luiz definitely can't keep up with Rashford if he [Rashford} gets past Gabriel's overlapping play.

OGS will most likely start Rashford and Greenwood upfront, first for Rashford's pace and secondly, for Greenwood's deadly finishing ability. Cavani needs mates who can cross the ball from deep, something we seem to lack in the team.

True. Matic might play in place of McTom. OGS has been on about how McTom needs rest etc.

VDB obviously will be the best sub option against Arsenal.

Cavani needs mates who can cross the ball well. Our FBs aren't quite good at that. AWB tries though.

United and Chelsea were cautious in their approach and Evra was spot on.

Barring unforeseen circumstances Chelsea players must have gelled by the time we face your team.

Ziyech to the right, Pulisic to the left, United will die before half time .
IFF Lampard will use his sense and come out to play

We left it really late in that game. Anyway, I am still enjoying the victories abeg. Hopefully, things continue like this.

If OGS doesn’t stay put for thunder to fire him, na iron go hit am o.

Meanwhile, Pogba thrives when we play 4-3-3 or another formation, not 4-2-3-1. More so, OGS should please continue with this his new found love (flexibility), we have had enough of playing same squad and same formation.
grin
OGS jazzman don dey work wonders
One major difference I am seeing is this team is a fight for the shirt and also strict competition

Pogba played like " I gats dey that team against Arsenal" grin

Ole don dey take tactical classes Las Las

I just hope we continue with this momentum, the league is still very open

Meanwhile Upamecano quietly served a disasterclass in the 2nd half of last night's game. I read an article from a Bundesliga journalist last season in which he suggested that Konate was the better defender though less lauded.

For a young guy, Nagelsmann is an impressive coach, I'll also admit that.

But his style of play of highline is very dangerous o. With a lot of defensively disciplined sides in the EPL who knows how to counter, they will conceed a lot of goals. If he can learn to be flexible and not grow to become a purist mindset like Pep, he'll go far.

You know Pep and Klopp who won the last 3 EPL titles play a very high line

Hensben is just confusing me. When Neymar was injured and missing champions league matches for psg he didn't give Neymar the benefits of doubt. He called Neymar a flop but now that his darling Hazard is in the same predicament he won't stop using injury as an excuse. Hensben come and Carry your fraud away from my club.
