Manchester United used to give me nightmares as a kid. From the moment I started watching football up until about eight years ago, this fixture terrified me. I remember freaking out in the hall every time kickoff approached, the anticipation alone killing me.
Wayne Rooney bullied us, Ji-Sung Park always found a way, and Nani would dribble the hell out of our defenders. The 2011 battering during the month of Ramadan was pure trauma.
But football has a funny way of healing wounds. That fear is gone now. The anxiety too. The terrified kid grew up confident. What used to be a rivalry has turned one-sided. This is not a rivalry anymore but an Arsenal ownership. C'mon You Gunners!
Dear Michael Carrick, I am writing to inform you of what to expect on Sunday evening.
This is not the same Arteta you defeated 3-2 in 2021 as a caretaker manager of ManchesterUnited.
I wish to remind you that this is an evolved version of Arteta, who has gained experience and insight.
What you will witness on Sunday is a display of intensity, pressure, and determination that may unsettle your team.
Mikel Arteta is an individual who takes losses seriously, and given his past encounter with you, he is likely to be highly motivated.
The Emirates Stadium will be electric, and our team will apply significant pressure on your squad.
Finally, I suggest that playing a low block may not be effective, as we are likely to capitalize on set pieces, and attempting to attack us could result in conceding goals.
So,you choose wisely.
For the decades that I have watched football leagues, of any kind, it has always been near obvious that the top team struggle against a relegation threatened side.
They almost never pick points against team rank at the bottom five. It says much about why the Gunners dropped points in Nottingham.
On the contrary, the top side easily collects points from other clubs that do not have to worry about relegation. That is why Arsenal will easily pound Manchester United who are ranked 5th in the log.
I know Manchester United is coming to the Emirates to play low block defense against Arsenal..
I know they are coming to pack the bus and counter attack Arsenal
That's why I will suggest to Mikel Arteta to start Gabriel Jesus ahead of viktor Gyokeres
Nonny Madueke ahead of Bukayo Saka
Then Trossard ahead of Gabriel Martineli.
Gabriel Jesus will carry more thre@t with a low defense
His movement on the ball will draw more fouls in the box with his quick movement on the ball
Then , Gyokeres can come in later to finish off the job.
I know, Manchester United have planned how to double mark Bukayo Saka on Sunday.
That's why Nonny Madueke is a better player when it comes to take ons
Then Bukayo Saka will come in 60 or 65 minutes
Manchester United will not survive this
Trossard should also start ahead of Martineli. Gabriel Martineli needs space to run.
Unfortunately, Manchester United is coming to play another low block
It's so sad teams play low blocks each time face Arsenal
Smaller teams used to do it .Now Manchester City, Liverpool now play low block against Arsenal
Manchester United will do it on Sunday.
Arsenal should be ready for negative football fron Manchester United on Sunday
Manchester United cannot go toe to toe with Arsenal at the Emirates.
Their only slim chance they may explore against Arsenal
Alan Shearer: "Arsenal will beat Manchester United".
"We know the way United are going to play. They will want Arsenal to attack them so they can hit them on the break, a classic example was the Mbeumo goal last week against City.
"However, I was in Milan on Tuesday watching Arsenal; Arteta made six or seven changes to the team that played Forest, and they were still very impressive".
"They also don’t have to worry about Europe next Wednesday because they are guaranteed first or second, so they can play their strongest team without distraction".
"Despite what we saw from Man United last week, I think Arsenal will edge it. It’ll be a really tough game, likely decided by one goal".
@Mphoo_Chidi@mokete_molatudi@Kgadi_yaMoloto look at the economy. Many unemployed, most on social grants, where do you think the government gets all that money? This is a cost cutting issue and they're cutting everywhere to keep the majority population happy. Take away grants and give schools basics, then chaos will ensue.
@Mphoo_Chidi@mokete_molatudi@Kgadi_yaMoloto Because school fees aren't being paid anymore so those items are no longer being subsidized. The meals, the staff and the machinery and maintenance all fall on the lap of the government. They can't provide everything for free.
@lindz_malindz Bro, they're going out and they're gonna get docked down hard before returning to you. She just has an excuse to go play in the streets and you won't see it coming.
