Needs hardworking players to make up for Xhakas misplaced passes, and to protect their Jonesesque centrebacks.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?
I'm convinced they are trying to force him out. He has been decent when he has played this season. Yes, he's not the most hardworking player but to constantly leave him out of the squad is bullshit.
I feel like creative players like him should be given an exception. Ozil will always create, they need to find a workhorse from somewhere to cover for him.
What ? Are people sill convincing themeselves they have progressed and are now different from Wenger last years ?
Lucas Torreira reminds me of when Liverpool fans had a love affair with Lucas Leiva. Decent player at best. Overhyped as they have nothing else to cling onto.
There is no way Aubameyang would have moved to Arsenal if he was one.
You think there isn't a side in Europe who have needed a top striker in the past year?
There is no way Aubameyang would have moved to Arsenal if he was one.
Nothing new then. They were achieving this level with Giroud and Walcott in the frontline.
Bunch of average players are returning to their normal level, Shocker. Take Obama and Laza from their team and they wouldn't look out of sort with the likes of west ham etc...
You lose a lot of explosive pace up front if you take Obama out the team.
It's not you though who I mean. It's someone else in the main forum who entered a heated discussion with me about them being tougher now and not collapsing now. Rest assured mate.Alright @el3mel you were right, pipe down already
Their midfield is crap. Zero creativity. What's the point of top striker if you're not going to supply him from midfield? Ozil was laying on the chances for crap strikers like Giroud and now they have got top striker there's nothing in midfield.
I know I'm just being cheekyIt's not you though who I mean. It's someone else in the main forum who entered a heated discussion with me about them being tougher now and not collapsing now. Rest assured mate.
I dunno if any of those Emery worshippers are still here. Arsenal were atleast good value at home last season, they were the 2nd best team and only got seriously outplayed by City. They lost 2 games at home and one of them was against us where De Gea broke a goalkeeping record.
its funny when you think we were a shambles until Ole came, yet if we manage a +3 win against spuds we'd leapfrog the gooners. bah!
I do agree with this. The delusion started in 2009 when many said their club is hardly a force but their fans were in denial. Wenger's poor mentality translated to them. I still prefer arsenal to the likes of Chelsea, city and liverpool but some.of their fans make it hard to cheer for them.
Ôzil, Aubamayang and Lacazette (and Ramsey maybe) are great players, the rest are painfully mediocre and its been the same for about a decade. Some top, top talent surrounded by dross and it's been quite a while since Arsenal had a defense that was not complete shit. We could moan about the Glazers, but they are like generous Gods compared to the stingy cnuts that own Arsenal
Tell me which top European side seriously needed a striker like Aubameyang when he was available ?
This comment is underrated. Very underrated
Aubameyang was already available during the previous summer. United, Atletico, Chelsea, Arsenal all bought other expensive strikers during that window.
I don't mean to bash him btw, I think in he's right up there in the tier below the top 3-4 strikers.
I definitely agree with you tbh. That doesn't make him average though now does it ? United and Chelsea fecked up big time with their signings (i know hindsight is easy
)They have been dying for Auba and Lacazette to play together and then look what happens .
.The fact that Emery with that squad managed to surpass us under Mourinho just highlights the absolute clusterfeck the man was.
Arsenal fans are pathetic if they think a donkey can become a horse unless you do really replace him with a real horse. It's really getting on my nerves to be among so many fickle and reactionary fans. fecking people who pretend Emery can make us title contenders in 6 months, when the likes of Klopp and Pep needed at least 1 year to do it with better squads.
Wonder if infamous Caf personality PeterStorey is still clinging on to the 10 year plan?
Wenger-ness is in the bones of that club and it'll take a long time for it to be sucked out. I personally wouldn't be all that surprised it Arsenal won the Europa League because this is quite a weak Europa League.
ludicrous that Ozil can't get into this team.
1 year and more money than some nations have as a military budget.
I imagine the eventual demise of wenger will have broken him. He was all in.
Their smugness re: Mkhitaryan didn’t take long to wither into complete nothingness, did it? He’s being lampooned by Arsenal fans now as being not good enough, despite them having gaping creative holes that need filling.
Good luck to Arsenal trying to get rid of him on over 200k a week. He should be playing for AC Milan on less than half of that.
Yeah maybe, would have been fascinating to see if he was still pro Wenger even when it was obvious he was finished.
He was a massive WUM and so always at risk of getting banned, but he was a decent poster when he wanted to be.
The smugness was only in response to all those United fans rubbing it in about getting Sanchez. At the time of the transfer what Arsenal fan was smug that we lost Sanchez and got Mkhi in return?
I'm baffled as to why you wouldn't at least have him in the bench. For all his faults, he's repeatedly shown that he will create and score goals.
Soon back to the 6th place where we belong . All very predictable.
. All very predictable.Forget the bench, the man has to start. They don't have the talent to leave him out.
The Europa League won by United surely has to be the easiest run of games ever for any winner.
Yet we still made it look very difficult in a few of them.
One of the few good things about Mourinho was that during his reign we tended to always get fairly comfortable cup draws no matter the competition. He was lucky in that sense.
Sven Mislintat is rumoured to leave them already. What do the resident Arsenal fans think about this?
I can't imagine a more frustrating job for a top talent scout. It'd be like a model scout being confined to a nunnery - Pointless.
It must be hard endlessly recommending players only to be told there is no money.
Atletico last year
