Monday Dugout Discussion

So Sam Allardyce was sacked? That’s odd. Onto bigger and better things undoubtedly for all; and to cheer us up from this solemn news is none other than a top of the table clash between Manchester United and Arsenal. Perfect Monday evening entertainment.

United revert to their 451/433 formation which has been a success in recent games against Arsenal, five goals in his most recent game isn’t enough for Berbatov to convince Fergie to alter his tactics. Everyone’s favourite tongue teaser Wojciech Szczesny starts in goal for Arsenal as his compatriot Lukas Fabianski fails to pass muster, Cesc Fabregas is only good enough for a place on the bench. Teams in full are…

United XI: Van Der Sar; Rafael, Vidic, Ferdinand, Evra; Fletcher, Carrick, Anderson; Nani, Rooney, Park

Arsenal XI: Szczesny; Sagna, Koscielny, Squillaci, Clichy; Song, Wilshere; Nasri, Rosicky, Arshavin; Chamakh

Whether you are a red or a red, or a neutral, the Dugout Discussion will be open for the evening to take in this battle in full flow.

    Arsenal haven't beaten a single team in the top 11, without the help of the opposition having a player sent off.

    Crisis.

    Strange game

    Two of my defenders (Coleman and Bardsley) scored the same as my expensively assembled fiveman midfield (Nani, Cahill, Zog, Nasri and Dempsey) - 13 pts

    13 BPs last week. 3 this week.

    First time all my defenders kept clean sheet all season. Look on the bright side!! 🙂

        Hopefully! He could be a bargain at 9.5 mill, considering he's on all set pieces...! And at home to Stoke he could be a work as a captain...

            Because he is so injury prone a dandelion clock blown in his general direction is likely to injure him again. For once Arsene being sensible and easing him back in. Oh, and Chamakh has been doing ok.

    RBJ Do you reckon Blackburn will do a Newcastle and up their game against West Ham next week now they lost their manager or will they crumble. I guess its a risky bet just thinking is there some edge there or maybe still hard to tell. Seems some teams up their game for a while when a new manager steps in, although possibility they could crumble. Maybe should put a penny or two on Blackburn and hope they do a Newcastle, worth a small bet as they will be at home and maybe the odds will be better than usual only 1.86 at the moment so not much value yet though.

          I'm not being biased here, but I really don't think that he was. Koscielny and Squillaci marshalled him pretty well throughout, at least up until the last five or so minutes. Rooney was helped by a lack of support though. There were times when the nearest Utd player wasn't within 30 metres of him.

            It's true he wasn't at his very best, but I thought he did a good job of holding the ball up and creating space for the likes of Nani....

            And thats the problem with our version of the 4-3-3/4-5-1. Fergie played it because it always works against Arsenal.

              Absolutely. I have no issue with the team Fergie picked, and it was identical to the team that I said I would have picked...

              The formation doesn't get the best out of Rooney, but is perfect for playing against Arsenal. Absolute no brainer to use it.

                  But that was with Valencia in the side... Having Park and Anderson in support doesn't exactly lend itself to Rooney playing well.

                    Yet you are using his one game today as a example of the formation not suiting him?
                    Btw, i thought his overall play was excellent today. Apart from his bloody awful penalty he was a constant menace pulling those two CB's around and held the ball up well linking up with some nifty one twos. Classic example of seeing what you want to see - from both sides of this argument.

                    I thought Koscielny had his best game in an Arsenal shirt today. Dominated Rooney for the most part.

                    He did do well yeah, looked far more solid than usual but he no way dominated. He probably had his toughest opponent of the season so far. If only we could ask him...

                    Well obviously he did, with just rooney to handle who was stuck upfront all alone for long parts. So i won't really read too much into that. Plus he did play rooney on for his chip effort or was it Squilacci?

            I thought he looked better than he has for a while, battling away his little shrek head fuming and boiling. He actually looked like he gave a shit, which is an improvement on the last few months.

        There isnt much difference between Anderson's position in a 4 3 3 /4 5 1

        and where Rooney plays behind Berbatov when he (rooney) drops deep and leaves Berbatov alone up top.

          It's all good if were on the front foot pushing up with 4-4-2(as you said rooney dropping off) or even 4-5-1(even then berbs struggled in the past) but when we drop off and sit back like we did from the start of the second half today do you think berba has the ability, the work rate ot the willingness to work the line alone and stay up there alone for that whole time, i don't think so and he has showed it before. Agreed rooney wasn't profilic either tonight but he did more a than good job today.
