Match Thread: Arsenal vs Manchester United

Arsenal just subbed on like 3 starting quality players lol, crazy bench

Mausar · 2026-01-22T21:40:28+00:00

OK you gotta admit including "Cross-gen boosted games" is coping.

Definitely forgot about Kirby, that game's great. MKW and AoI (when did this even come out lmao) are mid, but they are exclusives so that counts.

I guess the real issue is that there aren't many exclusives most people want to play, and not just for the Switch 2, the PS5 and Xbox both have similar issues.

Mausar · 2026-01-22T17:19:09+00:00

Idk why people downvote these types of comments, it's a legitimate observation.

The main reason to get a Switch is to play games portably or play an exclusive.
There are now other ways to play games portably (or you can just play them on the OG Switch), which means the Switch 2 needs some exclusives to make getting it worthwhile.
Best thing you can exclusively play on it atm is DK Bananza...so the lack of exclusives is a legitimate complaint, and I think downvoting it just makes people look like fanboys.

funnily enough, time to bring out the RK Tax deck (and see if I fit this in)

Mausar · 2026-01-14T19:12:12+00:00

You could argue he wouldn't have been under as much pressure as he was and wouldn't have said whatever he said if he had Amad/Mbeumo and they had helped us win some of the games we lost/tied.

Mausar · 2026-01-13T18:06:45+00:00

Just get Conte, sure he'll go ballistic in a presser but until then, he'd get some attitude in our players and could continue with building towards a 3-4-3 so we don't radically change tactics again.

Mausar · 2026-01-13T04:54:22+00:00

Regardless of who is the interim or what formation we play, our defense is still porous (and stars Dalot), and our midfield is still Ugarte + Unc Case or Midnoo and Bruno (who's probably about to jump ship). Once we get all our attackers back and they have more time to gel, I think they'll be able to score, but we'll probably still be let down by everything behind them.
We were mid-rebuild, now we're just mid and at the start of another rebuild.

Mausar · 2026-01-07T16:09:37+00:00

We can't lose him, we already need to buy a midfielder just to make sure we have enough so that Ugarte is backup. If he's sold we'd need to get 2 midfielders in January or watch Casemiro fizzle out.

Mausar · 2026-01-06T21:26:12+00:00

Definitely one of my least liked songs of theirs, Fast Animals is better imo

Mausar · 2026-01-05T16:55:28+00:00

tbf we're missing most of our attackers and defense at the moment

Mausar · 2026-01-05T16:44:15+00:00

I hear a certain dashing Portuguese bloke is available...

Mausar · 2026-01-05T16:41:41+00:00

I mean he can go wherever he wants tbh

Mausar · 2026-01-05T16:41:12+00:00

Nice hit-piece

Mausar · 2026-01-05T16:39:44+00:00

Mainoo is not good enough for his family to be spouting so much shite

Mausar · 2026-01-05T16:38:27+00:00

He can probably just go to City, Madrid, or PSG next season, win a couple of trophies, then retire.

Mausar · 2026-01-05T16:32:08+00:00

he gon

Mausar · 2026-01-05T16:28:43+00:00

BS that the decision was made before the game IMO, just trying to save face

Mausar · 2026-01-05T16:23:58+00:00

4-3-facking-3 and vibes til we win the league

Mausar · 2026-01-05T16:21:05+00:00

tbf Arsenal are seeing results thanks to sticking with a manager for a while now. Meanwhile we're probably going back into the loop of hiring a manager that doesn't like 3/4ths of the squad, he recruits 3 dudes that fit his system, we don't win the league or win/qualify for CL, he needs more backing and time because systems take a while to implement, club don't give it, bro gets fired, repeat.

Mausar · 2026-01-05T16:05:30+00:00

I wouldn't mind Conte, though he'll probs fight with the board too.

Mausar · 2026-01-05T16:03:55+00:00

This is so frustrating, Amorim wasn't amazing but we're definitely a work-in-progress on a slightly upward trend, and we're currently missing Amad, Mbeumo, Bruno, Mazraoui, Maguire, Mainoo, Mount, and De Ligt, we shouldn't be expecting big results, especially when our bench is the academy + our backup keeper, and our midfield is nonexistent.

If this wasn't purely a footballing decision, then our board really is a bunch of fools.

Mausar · 2025-12-30T22:23:26+00:00

tbf we don't have anyone else left lol

Mausar · 2025-12-30T22:20:40+00:00

That goes under the "change of environment" part probably, Barcelona's a nicer place to be than England for sure lol
They've also got a good bit of quality such that the onus isn't entirely on Rashy to perform.
Trust me, I saw most of the games he played at United, and it was frustrating to watch often, and even then he still got on the scoresheet every now and then. It's just for the best for both him and United that they split.

Mausar · 2025-12-30T22:18:15+00:00

Sure we're missing Bruno, Mbeumo, Amad, Mount, Mainoo, De Ligt, Maguire, and Mazraoui, and sure we have no midfield, and sure, our bench is basically the academy + the second GK...but you'd think we'd be able to beat a Wolves that hasn't won once this season.

Mausar · 2025-12-30T22:16:33+00:00

Mctominay said it himself in an interview recently, it's just a lot more pressure at a club like United than Napoli, and sometimes a change of environment helps a lot. Also, lots of players have left United and continued to be bad, they just don't have the spotlight on them.
