what the fuck is that avatar and this disgrace of a post

Ten Hag getting the better of De Zerbi again here so far imo. Surprised the latter hasn’t changed it from the semi-final which was exactly the same as this. Man U know Brighton are not a threat in behind so they’re just going man to man and letting Brighton’s CBs have it. They’ll grab a goal on the counter if this carries on. Brighton need Caicedo back in midfield as he’s the best they have at receiving under pressure.

If we can manage his fitness like we have done with Wilson this season we can get 30 games out of him next season at least. He managed 35/38 PL games last season. We'd have to spend £80m to get someone of his ability to replace him.

Despite not playing much this season, ASM has improved massively. He's always been a good dribbler but now he is more complete. Some numbers for how he stacks up against the rest of the league's attacking mids & wingers this season (min. 10 90s): Assists per 90: 0.45 - second only to KdB Shot creating actions per 90: 4.87 - 6th behind only KdB, Bruno F, Mahrez, Maddison and Odegaard Goal creating actions per 90: 0.81 - 5th behind only KdB, Mahrez, Grealish and Foden. Level with Saka. Key passes per 90: 2.26 - 5th only behind KdB, Bruno F, Maddison and Mahrez Successful take-ons per 90: 7.40 - top by miles Progressive carries per 90: 6.58 - top Prog carrying distance per 90: 181.08 - top and only Grealish gets anywhere near Carries into pen area per 90: 2.97 - behind only Mitoma I can't believe people are constantly banging on about selling him. Work on his fitness and he will win us things.

Really hope it isn't the last we've seen of him if he is out for the season like Eddie said.

Isak is going to be the central striker in future seasons, definitely. Just feel like we can get away with playing him and Wilson together for most of the rest of this season. Especially with ASM out and Wilson in this kind of form.

Has to be worth a go. Not sure Arsenal is the time to try it, but if we can get away defensively with ASM on the left I reckon we can manage it with Isak too. Just feels like we are guaranteed to score goals when they're both on the field; especially at home. Too much fret to handle.

We need 6 points and Spurs not to let 10 in today. My favoured outcome is us getting 3rd and Liverpool beating Man U to 4th.

Trippier is not normal

I have no idea how anyone can say he was the best player, like. All 3 of the best opportunities to either score or assist fell to him and he fluffed all of them. He was involved rather than good. He got the best of Lyanco a couple of times and then Lycano had the measure of him. I think there's probably a good reason why Howe took him off and not Murphy, yer kna.

He needs to be restricted to sub appearances for the rest of the season and then get a full pre-season under his belt here. I think that will help him a lot. More than anything at the moment he lacks the intensity and concentration required to help the team function well.

1 pass completed, 2 goals scored. Absolutely mad

Total lack of intensity both times we’ve tried it is probably not a coincidence

Wilson is cursed not to score a hatty for us . Could’ve had 5 here.

this has been as dominant a half as you’ll ever see. We’re at 3.23 xg already for the second half.

I bloody love Callum Wilson

Trips’ deliveries this half have been absolutely lethal.

pretty sure it did come off Miggy like

gonna be offside this

two footed? studs up?

Why aren’t we scoring from any of these corners . Mega deliveries every time.

Some really good deliveries from Trips coming in this half

Botman chance got given 0.90 xG
