Really enjoy watching us counter. Just beautiful
Because 48 hours between games put players in risk of injuries and it's better to be safe than sorry.Any explanation for why AWB didn't play and Greenwood wasn't brought in even as a substitute? When James went down in apparent pain, I thought Greenwood was definitely going to come in, but instead Pereira was replaced with Lingard.
In retrospect, Martial's goal was assisted by James, so - no complains about keeping him, but strange why AWB and Mason were not given a chance, despite being on the bench, and supposedly in form.
What hasn't really been mentioned is Old actually using his squad.Very controlled performance, a sentence we don't get to use often. Bad night for the Caf boo boys. Matic set the tone tonight, calm and assured throughout. Amazed at some of the pre match negativity regarding Williams but thought he was superb. Fred and Perreira really excellent too. Squads are important and Ole is doing a good job of creating one where everyone can play their part.
If so, I would have written it. It was a bit ironic.Do you really think players are playing on their own?
When the "Ole out" discussion rages on, this is exactly what we have to remember. When Moyes, LVG and Mou were here you couldn't say that we were excellent at anything. Now we have one of the best counter attacking teams in England. Plus, the players Ole signed all improved the team massively. Of course there are still many areas where we need to improve a lot. But we're taking small steps in the right direction.Really enjoy watching us counter. Just beautiful
don't have to that far, there were a few calling him that in the matchday thread today.Daniel James is now 4th in the Premier League in goal assists with 6 assists on the season.
I saw someone call him a garbage signing only yesterday.

Well AWB was just rested. Greenwood played 48 hours ago and we were 0-1 up so I think he wanted to leave James on for the counter which worked.Any explanation for why AWB didn't play and Greenwood wasn't brought in even as a substitute?

He had an okayish performance against city and then he goes on to start the next two games and do nothing. Keeps getting mintues every other game which could be given to any other useful player (even gomes?)Based on what exactly?
I don't think there is any inferior number 10 than Lingard in world footballIs he? United tried to sign a world class number 10, he’s also tried Pereira and Pogba there. I don’t really understand what you want Ole to do. Sign an inferior player just for the sake of it and pay for it 2-3 years down the line? Or wait for someone like Maddison or whoever they go for in 6-12-18 months time that can play there for the next 5-10 years.
He can only play the players he has. Patience.
Arsenal on Wednesday.Any explanation for why AWB didn't play and Greenwood wasn't brought in even as a substitute?
Yeah. A number 10 that does neither score nor assist for a goal in an entire year - doesn't get much worseI don't think there is any inferior number 10 than Lingard in world football
Makes sense. Really hope to see Williams on Wednesday, though. He was fantastic todayArsenal on Wednesday.
I was wondering that too as it seemed to make sense. However, I also think Ole wanted to give AWB and Greenwood the night off thinking ahead to Wednesday and beyond. It was a risk but Ole pulled it off.Any explanation for why AWB didn't play and Greenwood wasn't brought in even as a substitute?
