Match Day Thread Manchester United vs Arsenal - Matchday Thread

If we don't go for Rodrygo I'll be disappointed, but Trossard is a good player in this squad and I'm happy to keep him.

But, we still need strengthening on that left side.

 

I'm not opposed to keeping him as a squad player, but we didn't need to give him a payrise because it will make it harder to shift him now and his value will depreciate.

It also reduces our chances of getting a LW as there's been no concrete links with Martinelli going, so we will likely keep the same LW options we've had for the past few seasons - which is a huge mistake. Madueke is also an option on the left too.

This all means we are (in all likelihood) not going to refresh that LW position and that is yet another mistake in a catalogue of mistakes this club has made over the past few years.

 

The keystone cops defending was part of the reason Raya had to make the saves he did. I'm not sure Calafiori made a single successful tackle in the game. Let me check ............. Premier League website shows Calafiori made 1 Tackle and 1 Interception LOL.

 

It wasn’t keystone cops at all and Raya is a part of that defence. They work as a unit

 

I don't see how he can be a success playing on the left. You bought him on the strength of potential you saw when he played on the right, why would you put him on the left ?! Baffling.

 

We will have to agree to disagree cos I thought the defending was all over the shop.

 

It was a poor game I agree but I thought our defending was decent enough given the pressure we were under.

Not saying it was brilliant by any stretch, but it got the job done on the day.

 

Yeah I don’t see Madueke working on the left. He’s been brought in as depth on the right. Which means we still need to strengthen on the left.

Not sure that’s gonna happen now that trossard has signed a new deal, but I hope we go all out for rodrygo
