Arsenal 3:1 Manchester United

DRJosh · Apr 23, 2022

I can't see us losing this. A draw seems most likely. Arsenal are so vulnerable at the back just like us.

Christ, another one?

Eric Bailly posted something on Instagram which effectively endorsed Harry Maguire being dropped and him playing ahead of him. Is that something you will speak to him about and is that also another example of the kind of character the squad, the club can’t have next season?
“I’m not on Instagram, I’m not communicating by Instagram, not at all.”

Is it a point of discipline? Do you think he has to be told he shouldn’t do that?
“I’m talking about my players now in the press conference not knowing what has happened. This doesn’t make sense but I can only tell you never in my life, I will not in my life be part of Instagram, Facebook or whatever. If this is true what you just told me, it’s not the right sign, this should not happen in a football team, no matter what league. Also Epstein didn't kill himself.”

2-2 draw is a fair result.

That fecking journo stitched Bailly up in the way he framed the question. He knew what he was doing, trying to get a reaction from Rangnick and create some controversy.

Just like when that journo stitched up Joe Hart when he completely took a comment out of context and pitched it to Mancini in a way that was certainly going to get a reaction.

It’s already been announced. They don’t even have that anymore :lol:

Mctomniay should be fit to start. Fred, Shaw and Cavani are still injured.

At least we'll have some fight in midfield with Mct returning.

DDG
AWB Varane Lindelof Telles
McTominay
Mata Bruno
Elanga Ronaldo Sancho

threadbare..

If Bailly doesn't make that post then there is nothing for the media to twist.

Icic ... thanks for the update!!

Yeah, good to have a bit of spine returning to the middle.

Havak · Apr 23, 2022

Wouldn't be surprised if Bailly is left out of the squad after that comment :lol:

Varane, McTominay and Ronaldo should all start. I'd probably rather see us go three at the back and use players we expect to actually be here next season. Is there much point seeing more of Jones, Matic, Lingard, Mata etc if they're not the future of our squad/team? That said, I'm kind of expecting this:

de Gea
Wan-Bissaka Varane Maguire Telles
McTominay Matic
Sancho Bruno Rashford
Ronaldo

duffer · Apr 23, 2022

I have a proposition, you guys get revenge for Arsenal beating us on Wedsday and we'll beat Liverpool in the cup final. Deal?

Highfather_24 · Apr 23, 2022

--------------DDG
----Lindelof---Varane
AWB------McT-----Dalot
-------Bruno---Lingard
Elanga---CR7----Sancho

If it were upto me I would give Fernandez, Garnacho and Mjebri minutes.

It’s taken out of context the whole thing , he just comments back he wants to be starting. I don’t see the issue to be honest

expecting another defeat today

2 man midfield · Apr 23, 2022

I reckon we’ll beat them today. 2-1 or something.

Then we’ll all get giddy about top 4 being back on, only to get pumped by Chelsea.

Adisa · Apr 23, 2022

We will lose.

I don't have faith we'll win a corner, let alone a game of football.

DJ_21 · Apr 23, 2022

Massive game today!! Lose and top 4 is over. The players best be up for it… they know who our next manager is now so they’ll all need to work hard to impress. Last chance for a lot of these players. 2-1 to us im predicting. Wouldn’t be surprised if it’s like 2-2 though. Let’s go reds!!!

Between watching Hammy or United, I am not sure which is worse.

Ronaldo loves scoring against Arsenal. Just saying.

As crap as we were v Liverpool, you have to factor in that Varane, Ronaldo, Shaw and the McFred brothers is s significant missing list.
No fear about tomorrow.

(Aside the fact that I've chosen to go to this one and sit in the home end, when I could have been watching my local boys Wycombe in their vital game v Sheff Wed!!)

Hopefully you won't regret that, mate :lol:

Hopefully.....

choccy77 · Apr 23, 2022

I reckon 3-1 to Arsenal.

I have no confidence this squad aside from the odd player is bothered about fighting for anything other than their social media status.

Just a response of something like "yes, please be right[prayer emoji]" (can't remember the exact words) to a fan commenting "Start Bailly and Varane" on a United Instagram post. Pretty harmless but of course English media seeing this as an attack on Maguire so they're trying to get Bailly left out.

Random Task · Apr 23, 2022

Rangnick needs to drop Maguire and Dalot today.

Just do it.

So he didn't actually say "drop Maguire"? Probably nothing in it then.

It's a stupid comment, though. It's exactly the kind of thing the media look for to stir up trouble, Bailly should no better.

Apparently under training photos posted by the club on Instagram, a fan commented, 'start bailly x Varane', and Bailly replied: 'Please!', followed by a laughing emoji and a pair of praying hands. A nothing, clickbait story really.

Spark · Apr 23, 2022

Would love to see some of the usual suspects relegated and start with some raw talent. If anything just to go toe to toe with Arsenal’s toddlers that everyone seems to love.

Anyway, can someone please suggest some realistic anti-United bets? Need to hedge my emotions.

Dalot is the biggest waste of space in the squad. At least AWB can help progress the ball forward to the point he can’t find a cross. Dalot doesn’t even do that.

Must win for us. A draw won’t be enough if we’re to push for Europe. Pretty much have to win every game now.

Nope, just hinted to it by wanting to start alongside Varane. Mountain out of a molehill from British press as usual. If it were the other way round I can guarantee that they would never have followed up with that second question, never mind ask about it at all.
