If September comes and United haven't signed three central midfielders that's a problem!
But that's a bridge I'll cross when I come to it. No need to worry about it now when there's still months to go
It's a choice to drive yourself nuts over these things
Ederson is a body in midfield - a body that Utd badly need. The way everything looks they'll sign another midfielder soon, and then make the big midfield signing in the back half of the summer
Ederson isn't THE GUY. I couldn't be arsed what order they come in
We are officially in World Cup month. Please leave your xG charts, pressing percentages, and defensive metrics in the club season. International tournament football is strictly decided by pure vibes, individual brilliance, tactical survival, and a random goalkeeper turning into prime Lev Yashin for two weeks. Enjoy the entertainment and put the spreadsheets away.
My only contention against an expansive style of play vs another team is when there's a massive disparity in the quality of both teams. When Manchester United played low blocks vs other 'Top 5' teams, it was due to their lack of quality. Therefore, it was largely accepted not 'fully'.
However, when you claim you are the best team on earth (i.e. Saliba > Rio/Terry, Gabriel > Vidic, etc.) You can't defend the style you presented yesterday unless you are willing to admit that you are NOT the best team and PSG had a HUGE quality advantage over you. You can't have it both ways.
Now that the dust is settling and reality of losing to PSG has dawned on us. I have a message for all those that showed their happiness and joy for our loss.
Yes, you and others that prayer and celebrated the loss.
Hope you can see the consistency
Hope you can see the heartbreak.
So I dare you, when we finally win the UCL, and we start celebrating the way we celebrated our EPL, DO NOT COMPLAIN OF OVERCELEBRATION.
You guys have laid down the marker.
For me, Arsenal is the real deal.
We go again next season. COYG ๐ช๐ช
PSG 4-0 Liverpool
PSG 8-2 Chelsea
PSG v Man U(Error 404: Did not qualify for any European competition)
Arsenal fans remember these are the people you choose to take their banter to heart
If the ref blew Arsenal's first goal as a Trossad handball it would have been fair.
If the ref called Saka's double hand ball as a pen it would have been fair.
If the ref had given Mosquera a second yellow it could have been fair.
