So the game is done.
Knew from the first ten minutes Arsenal was not going to win.

You cannot rely on your midfield to win matches all the time and when you cannot put chances away it is only a matter of tim before the pendulum shifts.

It is a mental thing and Arsenal are world reknown for having a glass jaw.

humberjade:
We should blame Arteta for overusing him. Why sign Norgaard if you can't trust him enough.

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.

press9jatv:
you are not serious. You are now happy that your club is winning

trytillmake:

WhiteIverson:
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

You must be really very COLD and INSENSITIVE to use Kevin Durant's picture in his sick bed for a sense.less meme...

ppogba:
What a playback of their wuru wuru corner kick dark arts goal at Old Trafford.

DystopianMuse:
See farmers logic. Does that mean your own shitty team will become good automatically?

Scorpio99:
You don't understand Amorim's point on football.
Whether Bruno Fernandes plays in central midfield or attacking midfield, he is far far above Kobbie Mainoo and Mainoo cannot bench Bruno whether on central or attacking midfield. That is a fact.

Amorim preferred Bruno in central midfield and that's why Kobbie has to sit. Take it or leave it, he is far far better than Kobbie in both positions. Since Bruno is better than Kobbie in central midfield, that's why he can't use them together except Kobbie will have to play in defensive midfield (Casemiro position) which he obviously can't play.

Scorpio99:
Are they now playing together? Abi na back of TV you dey watch?

prinsam30:
Who be assnall abeg , shey I don tell Una say Man United is winning the league this season Una think say na joke abi, make we dey watch, to all of u people we have a coach a good one for that mata.... United is coming

DystopianMuse:
Exactly maybe because he is Spanish. Very sentimental from ARTETA

Haydens:
Up man U!!!

Carrick is giving me sumptuous joy. At Emirates, the sky is red and it's raining blood.

ZUBY77:
Coach and tactics. We warned Amorim to change tactics but he refused.

prinsam30:
Chai amorin av really killed this team aswear, how can u open Ur dirty mouth say u can't play mainoo and Bruno together for goodness sake

Angelfrost:
I smell your fear, sir...!

Believe me, it doesn't matter... A superior team doesn't play for draws.

It will be 3 points for the home team by the final whistle.

Carrick will receive a well needed reality check today.

I can't doubt you, but what you propose is bizarre coming from a United fan of over 30yrs.
This is my 33yrs of supporting United.

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 😤

yomi531:
What's the Significance of Man u victory today? Nothing if u ask me. I'm tired of seeing City win the league.

Godfirst07:
Angelfrost Abi wetin be that boy name, you were here yesterday yarning dust on how Arsenal are unplayable, I’m sure you know now that you can only wish of winning the league…. Wishful thinking.

FashionCookie:
GGMU!
Thriller na understatement!

WhiteIverson:
Oh no
It will just put Arsenal back in place with their mates such as Everton and Nottingham Forest

Davoneskay:
We can't wait to demystify Carrick. Dude's been feeling funky after defeating City.
