Man United can't win at Emirates... It's unheard of.

They might manage a draw, but I feel Arsenal can do something magical before final whistle.

Gunners can win this. undecided

I hear you, bro. And honestly, your frustration is very old-school football fan logic — squad management, timing, balance — that stuff matters. You’re not wrong to value it.

Arteta actually does have good assistants (Albert Stuivenberg, Carlos Cuesta), but the difference between him and Pep isn’t just “older assistant vs younger.” It’s authority and legacy. Pep can afford to be checked. He’s won everything. When that older assistant tells him to calm down, it lands because Pep already knows he’s Pep. Arteta is still proving himself, so he’s more controlling — that’s common with managers building their identity.

About the set-piece thing: yeah, Arsenal leaned hard into it — sometimes too hard — but that’s also a symptom of where the squad is. When you’re not as technically dominant as City, you squeeze margins. Set pieces aren’t the plan, they’re the multiplier. The problem isn’t that Arsenal use them — it’s when they stop evolving beyond them in big moments.

Now the rotation point? That’s where your Chelsea trauma is talking 😭 — and it’s valid.

Arteta absolutely overplayed his core guys.

- Saka cooked.
- Ødegaard run into the ground.
- Saliba injury → whole season wobble.

That’s a young-manager mistake. Wanting it all at once instead of sequencing success like you said. Chelsea fans know this pain because you’ve lived both sides: the Mourinho “focus on the league” years and the chaos years.

But here’s the counter-counter (fair is fair):

Arsenal fans waited 20 years to be back in a title race. Once you taste it, patience disappears. Arteta wasn’t just managing a squad — he was managing a fanbase starving for relevance. That pressure makes managers greedy.

Pep can rotate because:

- He has two world-class players per position
- He trusts the second guy
- The club culture backs long-term dominance

Arteta’s Arsenal are still building that depth and trust.

So I’d sum it up like this:

You’re right about squad management and pacing

You’re right that football isn’t just corners and spreadsheets

But Arteta isn’t clueless — he’s early-stage Pep, without Pep’s safety net


If Arsenal don’t learn to prioritize soon, though? Then your criticism stops being opinion and starts being prophecy.

And yeah… that United goal-difference title still hurts. Real ones remember 😤
ajalawole:
bro, am a Chelsea fan I don't have hate on Arsenal, but some of arteta discussion are really bad, I doubt if he listen to his assistant only those set piece tactics.. I always watch man city games and you will see pep talking to his older assistant before he make any discussion, infact there was a game that pep was angry and that man ask him to calm down. If Anteta have someone like that guy, trust me he would have go far. Football is not about corner tactic, been watch football since early 2000s. The one that pain me most was when united win the league ahead of Chelsea on goal difference on the final day. You don't keep playing all players in champions league, EPL,fa cup and even carabio cup. Chelsea use there second fold to win the conference league last year so they can make top 4. One step at a time. But arsenal want it all at a time.

I am enjoying the new Tiki-taka style of Man united. The passes are just romantic. Speed is excellent
that is why they stay back bro. All arsenal players normally hustle for goal, if you have speed you can bypass them as you see today. Almost all arsenal players will cross the center line

Up Carrick. Coach wey sabi. Goal keeper Coaches need to work on our keepers. Same thing Arsenal did at Old Trafford.
Giveaway that many corners to Arsenal, they would definitely punish you.

The keeper did well imo.

What a game !!..thank you guys for winning City and Arsenal, the embarrassment was becoming too much.
Re: Arsenal Vs Manchester United (2 - 3) On 25th January 2026 by WhiteIverson: 7:37pm On Jan 25
What I really want is for Arsenal not to win the EPL
Arteta gets sacked
Some of their big names get bought by the likes of Bayern PSG Madrid Barcelona
They start the years suffering and rebuilding again

All those people always criticising Gyokores.

You can see his impact in the second half

Arsenal's attack was practically dead in the first half.

Jesus has no business being in Arsenal, let alone leading the line

Mancity or Aston villa for the win

Can we now say man utd are EPL contenders having beaten number 2 and 1 on the table?

Irony is these are the same players Amorim recruited but see how amazingly Carrick is using them.
Now the real test:
Do they bring this same intensity against teams that won’t give them space, headlines, or motivation?
That’s where contenders are separated from highlight reels.
