Take auba out arsenal offer nothing upfront. Fair play to arteta for improving the defensive organization but attacking wise they look so average. Not sure how much sustainable this tactic is.
Community Shield 2020 - Arsenal vs Liverpool - Saturday(29th August)
- Thread starter Terminator
- Start date
-
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've never seen a team get as many jammy deflections/bounces leading to goals as this Liverpool side
Arsenal look like they better organised but equally look very limited.....
Is it just me or does the Wembley pitch look super bumpy and sticky.
Like something at the local park.

That and, if you can't get it to Auba, you're fecked!
Lacazette is missing as well.
The women's community shield was played on it earlier this afternoon.
I'm not going to hype Arsenal and Arteta too early for doing jack all -
But it wonderful to watch when your manager wants to play formations like a 343 with left footed CB's at LCB (Tierney & Gabriel) right footed RCBs like Saliba both able to play aggressive and to be covered by a sweeper/cdm like Luiz.
On the other size you have wing back positions that can be covered just as much by players like Bellerin as Willian, or Tierney just as much as Saka.
The inside forwards seem to be cutting on on stronger foot playing inverted and away from the touch line whilst being away from the centre aswell like Aubameyang is. Saka is a left footer than can play at RW and do just as much damage in his own ways whilst Lacazette keeps the cente preoccupied more deeply.
@GlasgowCeltic
I agree considering that he doesnt have a large amount of money to blow like other clubs he seems like he knows what he is doing.

Oh that Japanese lad scored. Nice name.
Does this have extra time or go straight to penalties?

Arse stopped playing football. This goes directly to pens if it stays like this right? Still remember VDS absolutely killing it back in the days in the CS.
I am not talking about personal, I am.just pointing out at their style. All they have been doing in big games is score a goal and just sit back and hope auba scores a beauty. It's not sustainable long term.
Straight to penalties.
Pens
They have only been back in training a week. Liverpool are far ahead in their preparations.
Mane has been wasteful.
Saka looks like a 7 year old
Tierney is done already
Is it bad that I think the new Liverpool kit looks quite smart? 
Arsenal's on the other hand makes it look like their players have been ravaged by a moderately obese cat.

Pool just taken off one of their main pen takers
I know it’s early season but these 2 look absolutely god-awful
What's with the 3rd Reich style writing on the back?Is it bad that I think the new Liverpool kit looks quite smart?

That's rubbish by Willock
It wasn't meant seriously mate. Didn't need a lecture in font styles
Where do I apply to claim the last 2 hours of my life back? Always a crap friendly this fixture anyway.
Liverpool do not look as dominant as they did...don't know but can't see them sweeping teams aside
It’s been garbage, glad I’ve only watched the last 20 mins, though it feels like a couple of hours
We all know Liverpool will win this somehow.
There better not be a late winner. We want pens.
I mean we both know your tactics with Henry and Barca’s tactics with Messi have been far more expansive than this.
short memory son , you remember Nani versus City
Come on Martinez!
You want pens? You got em
They need to find ways of jazzing it up, like setting the ball on fire, or adding bears onto the pitch, or maybe even making the goals a few metres wider and higher.
Maybe even allow the managers to play?
They do the same thing every time.
There has to be a counter tactic.
Arsenal will win this, 100% certainty.
Wtf. Barca were a different beast and play on front foot. Arsenal under wenger used to play on front foot and used to dominate teams. This is nothing like that. It looks acceptable maybe now because people don't want to be harsh on him but the brand you guys are playing under arteta looks boring.
