Saka is just the greatest find this club has had in a very long time. I darent think how good he is, and could be. Still developing and becoming stronger by every match

Rob Holding - not the greatest CB you’ll ever see but unlike Mustafi he doesn’t look for a way out, stays on his feet, is nice and steady and keeps it relatively simple.

Holding was poor, especially first half. His passing is shocking.

I thought Holding was poor 1st half along with Luiz.
2nd half Holding improved Luiz didn't.

Either way pair of them aren't good enough.

Yep if we play both of them against Utd their forwards will have a field day.

Not if we play deeper. Today we pressed Southampton high and caused them problems. We may sit deeper against United who also love counter attacking.

United running at Holding playing deep = Penalty's.

"𝗜𝗳 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗳𝗶𝗿𝘀𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗳𝗶𝗿𝘀𝘁. 𝗜𝗳 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘀𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗱, 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗻𝗼𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴."

Why not use the same tactics that worked at their place earlier in the season.

Tierney's strong point is going forward.
He isn't great defensively.
All the posts saying we will miss him where because of him attacking down the right not because of him defending.

"𝗜𝗳 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗳𝗶𝗿𝘀𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗳𝗶𝗿𝘀𝘁. 𝗜𝗳 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘀𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗱, 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗻𝗼𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴."

Hence, Tierney is superb in 3-4-3 with Gabriel or Mari taking care of defensive stuff when he is hurrying back.

I Doubt they will be as poor again.

True that they will have reviewed that loss many times and come up with a new game plan. Don't forget we have improved since then as well. Especially with chance creation and scoring goals. Against ManU then, we scored from a penalty and not from open play. ESR and Martellini were not on that team. Pepe did not play. Willian started. So I think they will get a new look Arsenal team offensively for this Saturday's game. Hopefully Partey, Tierney and ESR will be available to start. My fear is Arteta starts Willian over Martellini and that means we start the game with effectively 10 players as Willian does not have the legs for a full pressing game.
