    He’s also only 22, and Im sure will learn. I think most sane Arsenal supporters know it’s different than Mustafi, Luiz, Xhaka, etc.

    The Man United match also showed that he doesn’t hide when on a yellow, which is good, but you have to adjust your game to an extent.

    I’m looking forward to Mari getting minutes in the league. I mean...I say that, but we could start with Tierney, Luiz, Holding from left to right.

      27 total shots, 7 on target for Villa, who are currently second only behind City for total shots per match—15.9. They're also second in shots blocked, only behind Liverpool.


      Damn, Villa.

        If there's a team this Man United team will not fall behind to early it's this Sheffield United team, right? Right?

              I didn't watch lots of Sheffield United last season, but I don't recall him handling lots of back passes, working under pressure, etc. If that is the case, perhaps something we've seen before in the last few years—a team putting in a keeper who is not adept at playing the same way as the first choice.

Where were the crosshairs, lol. I found it hilarious that they took longer looking at Eric Dier throwing himself to the ground after being slightly brushed by Henderson on the Firmino goal.
                I was getting ready to be pretty upset if they ruled it out for that.

                Honestly, Spurs are a bunch of divers and they don’t get enough crap for it.

                  Clown shoes start for Man Yoo but Sheffirld just aren't a good team. They have to depend more on letting Maguire en Co touch the ball as much as possible

                    I've been trying—for years. Since the days of Poch they've been divey and also take out their frustrations by endangering opponents. Unbridled petulance.

                    They're everyone's punching bag except the media, who for years have praised their ability to be so good at not winning anything. I swear, a sense of entitlement to success due to being so close but failing has permeated that team.

                    Oh no I've gone and made Son cry.

                      Maguire to blame for the opener. He was way to close to Henderson. Lindelof was in the right position wide right. Matic is seen pointing at Maguure to get more wide. Being that close while Sheff pressed forced him into a short pass to Henderson.

                          He's 1 of 7 defenders they currently have on the field.

                            It’s funny. In terms of lumbering play styles, Matic and Maguire are very similar. Different positions but considering how out of position Harry plays consistently, does it really matter what position they pencil Harry into? And also Matic while slow AF actually has a decent touch and ball control. Maguire has all the ball control as a fish has out of water

                              That was an intentional hand ball by Maguire. Very lucky boy.
