Arsenal are a great example of what happens when you get rid of supposed "star" players and start again.
Arsenal have improved because they gutted their team a few years ago, but also had young talent to keep them afloat like Saka and Martinelli upfront. But they have spent and acquired players and it has come off for them for the most part.Funny how whole thing around Arsenal turned out, specially looking down in here last few years, same goes for manager.
Yup I know the "Trust the process" stuff gets laughed about but they look far more hardworking / cohesive vs a couple of seasons ago.Arsenal are a great example of what happens when you get rid of supposed "star" players and start again.
Its not just a simple overhyping. The big difference between Arsenal now and in the last few seasons is the way they play. It seems Arteta finally thinks he has the squad to be more proactive and competitive. And that is always a big advantage..We've had a fairly easy start too.
This is typical caf though. Overhype a rival after a few good results and then go too far in the other direction after a few bad results.
Why not both?Arsenal failed to get Martinez so got Zinchenko instead for the left back position.
We're not going to be able to play this way if we get a few injuries though.Its not just a simple overhyping. The big difference between Arsenal now and in the last few seasons is the way they play.

Fecking dronesOK you have a new song, now shut up.
Winning the EL gives you a trophy and CL football though. It’s worth giving it a go. I expect ETH to do that at United.They will just tank the EL. If the reward is the CL they are already looking strong enough to make it through top 4 so there is no need to go full strength in EL.
Yeah true. We’ll be relegation candidates on here if we lose on Monday.We've had a fairly easy start too.

Also helps to be City's feeder club.Arsenal are a great example of what happens when you get rid of supposed "star" players and start again.
Cover on the wings is very bad, only players out of position that can "do a job" but will severly change our attack. If Pepe to Nice goes through, i hope we can get a good replacement in the next days.We're not going to be able to play this way if we get a few injuries though.
Is that the tequila song? Who is singing it?OK you have a new song, now shut up.
I respect that.I refuse to give him credit for anything.
I've been banging the "he's a clueless chancer" drum for too long now to go back on it!
Likely the closest we'll be all season.9 points behind Arsenal already.
Arsenal fans I think. I presumed it was for Saliba.Is that the tequila song? Who is singing it?
They've been developing the team for 3 plus years now and have brought in players to fit that style. United have such a hard time releasing players or making sentiment part of the decision like Rashford, McTominay, Jones, etc.Arsenal looking quality this season. Watching them compared to us. Can see a massive difference… can tell that they have a clear style of play.
Yep, and we really don't have adequate cover for Partey or Jesus either.Cover on the wings is very bad, only players out of position that can "do a job" but will severly change our attack. If Pepe to Nice goes through, i hope we can get a good replacement in the next days.
You make it sound easy, but we all know the stick we got for most the decisions made through the past 3 years, including not sacking Arteta.They've been developing the team for 3 plus years now and have brought in players to fit that style.

Arsenal fecked off players and bought well. United have too many players not willing or able to fit a style, so they have to be binned off asap (DDG, Shaw, RBs, McTominay, Ronaldo, possibly Rashford and Martial). That's so much turnover with not much behind them to keep them ticking over until better players become available.
2...Fulham - Brentford: 3-2. So basically, United are losing 7-2 to Fulham.
In the past we play youth players and reserves in EuropaEveryone talking up Arsenal needs to wait and see how they do once the Europa League starts. That’ll be the big test for their squad.
It makes sense, don't ask me why, I just feel it makes sense.2...
I expect City would have refused to sell them to us.Zinchenko and Jesus are two great signings for Arsenal. Can't believe they got the both of them to be honest.
Any fan of United that's still here has patience, I'm not worried about that.You make it sound easy, but we all know the stick we got for most the decisions made through the past 3 years, including not sacking Arteta.
I highly doubt United fans have that patience.
Probably. Plus they have the Arteta connection. I would have loved to have signed Zinchenko. Think he's a very underrated player, who's also very versatile.I expect City would have refused to sell them to us.
Yep and to be fair even many Arsenal fans were not having it and calling for his sacking. How he survived that December period is still a mysteryYou make it sound easy, but we all know the stick we got for most the decisions made through the past 3 years, including not sacking Arteta.
I highly doubt United fans have that patience.
