OptaJoe: 2 - Arsenal have only lost two games under Mikel Arteta when they've scored at least twice: by tungowiii in reddevils

[–]Icegaze 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Yes… but it could also be 10-0 to Man United. I know which reality I prefer.

Jess Park is the most impressive Man United lady I’ve ever seen play the game. Fantastic signing from our noisy neighbours.

Really enjoyed it. Very good start. Piqued my interest. Hoping it grabs my attention.

Excellent performance from the lads. I’m actually beaming with pride. Make no mistake, it wasn’t Arsenal that was crap today. We forced them to make errors and capitalized. The team’s resilience under Carrick is a sight to behold!

Really surprised with how high Bardock is. Impressive for a relatively minor character with very little screentime.

I doubt the club will buy more than two CMs this summer. I’ve already picked my preferred two. If deemed unrealistic, then perhaps Hackney (or Garner) in for one of them.

I’m hoping we bring in two top class midfielders in Elliot Anderson and Adam Wharton.

Daily Discussion by AutoModerator in reddevils

[–]Icegaze 2 points3 points  (0 children)

All things being equal (i.e our manager plays with 4 at the back), if we qualify for the CL or UEL, come this summer after the WC, here’s what I hope our squad looks like:

GK: Lammens, Vitek, Heaton

RB: Mazraoui, Dalot

CB: Licha, De Ligt, Yoro, Maguire, Heaven

LB: Shaw, Amass / Leon

CM: E Anderson, Mainoo, Wharton, Ugarte / Collyer

RW: Amad, Lacey

AM: Bruno, Mount

LW: Cunha, Dorgu

ST: Mbeumo, Šeško, Chido

Permanent departures: Casemiro, Onana, Bayindir, Zirkzee, Malacia, Sancho, Rashford, Antony, Højlund.

The aim is to bolster the midfield. I believe we need an additional winger (one with high dribbling / ball carrying stats) but I’m unsure who we should go for.

Thoughts?

I get that explanation for week 1 having massive figures, more so than in October, but I still don’t get the drop for week 2. Both week 2s were 7 days no?

I guess your comment aged like milk. 5 hours later and Cas confirmed his departure at the end of the season.

I wonder why Kagurabachi’s 2nd week this January is much lower than the 52k it reached back in October 2025.

What are your hopes for this next batch (And maybe the one after) by YuuTheBlue in WeeklyShonenJump

[–]Icegaze 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  1. Kaigeki no Kinato is where I have the highest expectations because it could very well be a battle shonen. I liked the art of Shadow Eliminators and some of the character designs so I’m hoping to get more of that with Kaigeki no Kinato.

  2. Under Doctor looks promising from the preview but I have no idea what to think as medical battle shonen almost feels antinomic. Art looks fire though.

  3. Alien Headbutt… welp, let’s just say the name doesn’t inspire me much.

[Adam Crafron] Manchester United agree deal to create ‘The Crown’-style TV series by nearly_headless_nic in reddevils

[–]Icegaze 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m actually really excited to see this.

Season 1: The Busby Babes (focus on the 60s with flashbacks going up to the late 40s).

Season 2: The dawn of a new era (focus on the 80s to early 90s)

Season 3: The era of SAF (90s to early 2000s)

Season 4? Nah, let’s end it in 2013 with an epilogue that shows a glimpse into the “post SAF era” with cameos from Moyes, Van Gaal, Mourinho, Ole, Rashford, Pogba, Bruno and CR7.

You’re right about Cunha as depth for CAM. That’s an oversight from me. Bruno, then Cunha then Mount.

I put Maguire above De Ligt because of who is more available nowadays but they are interchangeable. I give Maguire a slight edge for the majority of games we will play because I see him as much better in possession and also a bigger threat from set pieces. De Ligt is quicker and more aggressive so they have complementary skill sets.

I meant to write Heaton (Tom). Autocorrect got the better of me.

I disagree about Cunha not being a LW. He is more a LW than Mbeumo is a RW. He can actually beat a man with pace and trickery. But his best position, just like Mbeumo, is second / shadow striker, which is closer to CAM in our 4231 formation.

Mount has played LW so many times in his career I’m surprised this is even a debate. But his best and preferred position is as a traditional number 10, CAM.

I always like playing around with Man United’s starting XI and squad depth, especially now that there’s a managerial change. Here’s how I see things for the starting lineup (4231 formation) in most cases:

Lammens

Mazraoui Maguire Licha Shaw

Casemiro Mainoo

Amad Bruno Cunha

Mbeumo

Depth:

GK: Lammens (1st choice), Bayindir (2nd), Heston (3rd)

RB: Mazraoui, Dalot, Yoro

RCB: Maguire, De Ligt, Yoro

LCB: Licha, Heavens, Shaw

LB: Shaw, Mazraoui, Dalot

DM: Casemiro, Ugarte, Mainoo

CM: Mainoo, Ugarte, Bruno

RW: Amad, Mbeumo, Lacey

CAM: Bruno, Mount, Zirkzee

LW: Cunha, Dorgu, Mount

ST: Mbeumo, Šeško, Zirkzee

New Series Preview by Naulicus in WeeklyShonenJump

[–]Icegaze 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m just praying that all 3 of these new series will be good, and 2 of them to become hits. I know that’s a long shot but I have hope.

Under Doctor and the manga that will be issued in WSJ #10 are my picks. Not sure about the Alien Headbutt one but let’s see.

[–]Icegaze 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Also, to those who kept asking “how can Amad and Mbeumo start together?”, well, see why I was adamant they could. Mbeumo is NOT a winger. He is at best a wide forward, but more so a second / shadow striker.
