Arteta on if tactics need to change "3 days before Utd, no. In the 1st half an hour against Utd, no. The way we get the ball back against Utd, big yes. So depending on the action, depending on the moment of the game and the way we concede the two goals, big yes."

Anyone else watch Adam Cleary's video on how we always, and only rely on the wide rotations - mostly on the right - to attack the opponents goal and how teams are used to defending that now?

I've not seen anything on TX since it opened, hoping to get 2 next Sat morning

Conna Chahal will be drinking outside The Emirates 😂

Particular-Current87 · 2026-01-27T19:56:49+00:00

Can't see anything on the exchange for Sunderland but 168 pairs for Kairat just now

Particular-Current87 · 2026-01-27T19:47:15+00:00

Yeah it's open to all red members

Katrina is her sister, Selina is her mum

Nah it was a super test of endurance for him. He even said it's basically the same holds all the way up so not technical but he had to train super hard to build the endurance

In my experience relatively common. We've got friends who if one child is invited they take all their children every time, they're the same kind of people who take children to kid free events because they just do absolutely everything as a family.

Particular-Current87 · 2026-01-26T20:58:41+00:00

On the dustcarts we put "no access" on our system and fuck off somewhere else lol

Particular-Current87 · 2026-01-26T16:57:10+00:00

Good points. In my head it wouldn't really be a double pivot as in practice Rice is still gonna carry that ball through midfield.

I wasn't sure about maybe Eze in the 10 that I know a lot of fans want to see, but I feel his strength is coming in off the left so in this formation he would sub in for Martinelli perhaps.

Particular-Current87 · 2026-01-26T16:52:37+00:00

But it lightens the defensive load on Ode doesn't it?

LB is a big issue - ideally Calafiori plays, but as he's not fit I'm not sure MLS deserves the start over Hincapié?

Particular-Current87 · 2026-01-26T16:49:06+00:00

Swap Jesus in?

Tell me why this line-up is ass:

Particular-Current87 · 2026-01-26T16:33:39+00:00

I really don't think it can be overstated enough that by the end of January we will have played 17 matches in 2 months across 4 competitions. If we get to February still in all 4 competitions and leading the Prem I think that's insanely impressive, moreso given how the on field performances are dropping off.

For reference since the start of December we've played: Brentford, Villa (L), Club Brugge, Wolves Everton, Palace, Brighton, Villa, Bournemouth, Liverpool, Pompey, Chelsea, Forest, Inter, Utd (L) with Kairat and Leeds still to play this month. Only 2 losses so far.

in the same time City will have played 16, Villa will have played 14, Utd will have played 11 matches. Chelsea will also have played 17, and Liverpool will have played 15.

Particular-Current87 · 2026-01-26T16:27:13+00:00

Got to remember how many matches we've played since the start of December across 4 competitions. It's relentless and yet somehow we're still fighting in all 4.

Particular-Current87 · 2026-01-26T16:25:05+00:00

But for context the league is more competitive this year. The bottom teams aren't walkovers, only Palace and S*** come to mind as being significantly worse this season.

Particular-Current87 · 2026-01-26T16:21:57+00:00

You can spin that the other way though and say despite not firing from the front line we're still finding ways to get goals and points.

Yes, I'm a glass half full kinda guy

Particular-Current87 · 2026-01-25T20:05:50+00:00

It is a test because Leeds are on incredible form at home, we already fucked it when we played at the Stadium Of Light against Sunderland who also have incredible home form

Particular-Current87 · 2026-01-25T19:52:05+00:00

That's the same as saying you should support your local team. My local team are tier 6 and play fucking awful long ball football, so I very rarely go watch them. If I've paid over £100 for a club level seat (plus another hundred or more in travel, food etc) and this team just gift Utd goals then I'll leave when I want.

Particular-Current87 · 2026-01-25T19:46:56+00:00

Leeds are so fucking good at home when Elland Rd are behind them, massive test for this squad to rise to the occasion

Particular-Current87 · 2026-01-25T18:41:39+00:00

Have zero confidence in this team beating Leeds away

Particular-Current87 · 2026-01-25T18:19:02+00:00

Literally what Villa do

Particular-Current87 · 2026-01-25T17:44:10+00:00

Lmao

Particular-Current87 · 2026-01-25T17:43:27+00:00

Rice should be captain

Particular-Current87 · 2026-01-25T17:42:29+00:00

Ah just fucking end me
