When I say defense it does not necessarily mean bringing in defenders. It means have a defensive plan or tactics same with attacking. I hate doing school boy explanations.

Man City probably has the best attack in PL yet have no striker in their team. What does that tell you? Attacking or defending has to do with tactics not just personnel.

Pep's mistake was not in the players he brought on but in the tactics. He was all out attacking with no defensive plan even when the game was about to end.

Actually it was the opposite
Pep started defending from 60 something minutes when he removed kdb for gungodan by then they were leading 4-3 agg
Fortunately they scored and he defended further by pushing fernandinho to the back(5-3), Carlo responded by bringing in camavinga and Rodrigo
When the game changed direction he brought in more bodies to the midfield and removed all his attackers for ceballos asensio and valquez
Tell us where pep failed his defensive tactics ABI na defense that fail him
I am sure if he was still attacking Madrid won't pose any threat because they have given up

Good ebening

Against my mighty Liverpool?
Ebening and his tried for a midtabled team from spain.
An europa league with a UCl semifinals is a good feat for that side.
Unai Emery has been ranked 6th best football coach of the decade.

Tell me, if Arteta was the City manager would Madrid have scored those two late goals within 30secs difference? Please tell

No because arteta and his boys have mastered holding formation and it's been working because the moment holding comes in play is officially over
No more attack our attackers form midfielders with other 2 midfielders
You will also notice they form 3 CBS(white holding Gabriel) they don't leave the box18 no matter what

So in essence Arteta has better defensive plan than Pep, isn't it?

Of course arteta is a guru in parking bus have you forgotten how we won the fa cup

Pep is never the type that pack bus, that's his philosophy either it works or not.

Lol I think a management standpoint analogy was made here on Auba's case which I must commend the contributor.

Arteta is definitely not the best coach in the world but his standpoint on discipline as regarding Auba was 100 percent on point.

We talk about attitude and mentality all the time and this revolves around our everyday lives as well. You cant say because you are the highest earner and in form , that now gives you the right to behave unruly. Pride goes before a fall and all he had to do then was apologize to his team mates and correct his attitude. It's this same attitude that spirals unto the pitch of play and before you know it, the person loses everything.

I for one do not condone any form of Indiscipline and rightly so should any coach if he wants to be in charge of his team.

I wish Auba the best and cannot forget what he has done for Arsenal in a hurry but sincerely hope he can get it together and focus on football with the right attitude on and off the pitch for his own sake.

I agree....
And I wouldn't blame Arteta on that. As a rookie, he needs to set his own standard.

I’m e finitely buying this away Jersey for the new season.

I didn’t buy any of this season’s jerseys cos I just wasn’t impressed with both the home and away jerseys

Spy360:
What was Rodrygo doing all through the 90mins before scoring? It could have been Benzema or anybody. Once that City defense began to leak, anybody would take their chance.

Ukraine which you raised has a poor defensive strategy. Russian troops were stationed bear their borders for over a month yet they had no plan for possible invasion. A friend there told me that life was so normal the very night the Russian invasion began. They are a poor example of defense.

What I mean by attack wins battles but defense wins war is exemplified in the Vietnam war.

You can conquer and occupy a city, but if you can't defend it, you will eventually lose.

Rodrygo 90mins? Obviously you didn’t watch the match you are just a waste of time.

Rodrygo an attacker was brought in at almost 70th minute to replace a deep lying CM Tony Kroos, Marco Asensio an attacker replaced Casemiro a DM at 75th minute.

This changed the dynamics of the game making them score 2 goals within minutes which have them a life line.

But defense won them the game according to you. Agenda must agend to massage your warped ego.

Have said it before
Extra 600 years of suffering for Moyes next time he will pick a hustle.
Now he may not even qualify for any European competition
Rangers beating Leipzig made my night I love rangers

However the season ends, it will still be regarded as a very successful campaign for Moyes. He did well jare; he can’t kill himself

The man they vex me jare, he they do like wengay
Jack of all trades master of none, why go all out for all competitions when you know your squad limit
In the end you end up losing all instead of concentrating on one you have more chances of winning
If we can steal Bowen from them before klopp think of him

I thought I was the only one.. felding a strong team against arsenal was to prove what exactly ?

Na stupidity jare
Majority of us get sense pass these guys na opportunity them get
That's why I will always respect mourinho

Should we go for Ricarlson of everton or Jesus of mancity or both.
My problem with Ricarlson is his holdup play.
He a loner upfront not a team guy per say.

Exactly. This is a rational comment.

So parking bus win us the FA cup. That's my point.

Why are you so foolish?

I hate having to boost your brain whenever I have to explain something to you. I can't be doing this all the time.

Man City lost a lead within 1min of 90 because they had no plan to defend despite how good they are in every department. If that isn't sensible to you, then I can't help you, I am not your father.

50d33q:

It's the right thing to do when you have the lead with few minutes left and against an opponent who are equally as good if not better.

Lmao e be like we are not on the same page here
I said we parked bus to win fa cup, do you mean we attack for 80 minutes and park the bus for 10

When u say we park the bus to win FA cup, are u referring to the final match or all the matches?

We had the right balance between attacking and defending. That's why we won. Had we attacked alone or defended alone we wouldn't have won. So the right thing was done which was to attack and defend when necessary. Gerit?

From shefield united match we parked the bus, we did well in the final maybe because we conceded early
But against shefield and city especially we parked buses

Did i not tell you they started defending from 60 something minutes

Una 2 dan start again
Abeg let's celebrate arteta contract extension

Is mbappe overrated?

50d33q:

They did not defend well if at all they did.

Just to mention, someone said Mendy's goal line clearance was worth more than Rodrygo's two goals. What do you think?

We only parked the bus vs Man city because there's no way we would attack them and not go home with basket full of goals. Leeds United that usually attacks man citu foolishly are on the brink of relegation this year.

Below is the stats for that Sheffield game. I don't know where u got the notion that we parked the bus against sheffield, in fact the match was a frustrating one for us
