Full Transcription
There we go, sorry about that, guys.
My space was getting there.
What I finished to the game.
What I finished to that game.
I thought Gunnar actually might have won it for United.
Such a tight offside.
I really can't stand those off sides.
I'll be honest.
I think something needs to happen there because that's incredibly good to be tight.
But on the other hand, Declan Rice, 97 minute, Hesuz to finish the job.
Premier League, best league in the world.
But United fans, what happened there, man?
What happened?
It was 1-1 for nearly an hour and a half of football,
and then 3-1, you end up losing away to Arsenal.
It's a beautiful sight.
Johnny Evans happened.
It really is.
Johnny Evans happened.
And as much as we got bantered by United fans yesterday,
us Chelsea fans, right?
They sit just above us.
We're right next to each other in the league.
So anything they said...
said about us, they have to direct towards themselves now because we're basically the same level
at the moment. But what I finish the game, I want to put it to Messi first. You're a United
fan. How are you feeling, bro? It must be a tough people to swire. Thanks, Lord Con. Yeah,
I'm not really happy at the moment. It is quite sad that we lost, especially, you know, I don't
think our performance was awful today. I think there were a lot of positives. There were a few negatives,
of course.
But, you know, on another day that could have, it could have been won one.
We could have even won the game, you know, tiny margins.
We could even argue Johnny Evans was impeded for the last goal.
Could Saka have been sent off?
There were a few controversial decisions, but I don't want to cover those just yet.
I just want to talk in general about how United played, which is, you know, we were able, in the first half, we weren't very good.
We made a few, you know, we were able to get out a few times, thanks to Erickson.
And our outlet was Ryeford.
Erickson to Rashford that got us going a couple times.
second half we came alive at times
we played some good football
again whenever we play a good football
Erickson was always heavily involved as usual
Hoyland really impressed me when he came on
he was very strong in his holder play
he's very fast as well so I think
there's good signs over there
I think defensively as well, you know, of course we did concede three goals, two of which, you know, we'll talk about later.
But apart aside from those, I think defensively we were quite solid Martinez, Martinez made quite a few blocks.
Dallow had a good game against Saka as well.
He got the better of him a few times.
Wambasaka in the first half did.
I don't know.
Martin had the edge over him, but in the second half,
Wambesaka was tackling him a lot.
I will look at the numbers later on and see,
bring them up later in the space.
But I think overall the backfall wasn't bad.
And I think we were just unlucky in the end,
you know, not to get at least a point.
Of course, I'm not happy at all and I want to say other things, but I'll just keep it simple for now.
If you're not unhappy, you've got other things to say.
I am here to hear you upset, bro.
I am here to hear you United fans upset.
So if you've got other things you want to say, feel free to say those things, bro.
I try to avoid trolling on my part for the most case and...
you know, I'll try to keep it objective, but...
I'll jump in for you there, Messi.
Let's be here.
Yeah, Solomon, you go to take over.
Yeah, let me do it. Let me do it. Let me get in here.
Wait, Sullivan, Sullivan, nice and loud, because I need these tears.
Bro, bro, please, nice and loud.
I'm going to be... I'm going to provide next to the other.
Yeah, because you were saying, you know,
Alain is the best keeper the world's ever seen.
Lassandro Martinez, helped.
He carried Messi to the World Cup, all these things, and you couldn't hold a lead for 35 seconds.
Yeah.
Well, let's talk about that, Liam.
Let's talk about that, bro.
So first thing's first here.
Absolute disgrace, right?
Right.
You guys tell me why Saka was not sent off, right?
Is it because he's English?
Like, take Saka's name off, put in Bruno, guys off quicker than you can say Portugal.
Imagine that was Casamiro.
No, the reason he wasn't sent off is because the foot wasn't high enough.
I think it's because it was on his angle.
That's why he got away.
No, I'm not finished yet, Roman.
I'm not finished yet, my brother.
Talk about Johnny.
Bro, don't worry, I got an essay.
I got an essay about this.
I got an essay, right?
Second thing, that offside, come on.
That's, like, them lines don't seem legit, right?
Like, if you look at it...
No, no, no, that is shameless.
It's offside.
You can't use that one.
Come on.
You see his head.
No, we're not letting you have that one.
It's not letting you up that one.
The lines are wrong.
Are you okay?
I never heard so much shit in my life.
Sammy, his head is leaning hard there, bro.
Yeah, but that's the angle, isn't it?
That's just the ankle.
His head is leaning hard,
and your head is really hot.
Bro, I'm an expert on angles.
I used to be a math teacher, boys.
Trust me, the angles,
if you would want to trust about angles,
I'll tell you everything about pathagoras.
Trust me, that was not offside, yeah?
That's the second point.
At the third point, obviously,
as Onana, big letdown, like...
He seemed like a decent stopper back in the Iax days,
but obviously that was just not good enough.
So, yeah, that was annoying.
In terms of United's play themselves,
they were obviously played really defensive.
They were compact,
Rushford obviously paid real well.
Erickson was brilliant in terms of like,
you know,
you know, taking it from defence to attack.
His through ball to Rashford was sublime.
But overall, yeah, I thought a draw would have been fair.
I think they did share this slightly ass on it.
But overall, when you look at the bigger moments,
I think we have the bigger moments.
although they had one or two decent chances as well
that was my thoughts we were away from home
so it was a good solid away from home performance
but again these minor things are the ones that decided
obviously it was good that the habits dived
and went you know we're good that we had the VIR
but then at the other hand
and obviously we know where he's learned that from
he learned that from the Chelsea boys but you know what I mean
but other than that yeah like this is my point
if Garnatchez Goa stand it's over isn't it
so it didn't stand it didn't stand
It didn't, bro. It didn't, but.
They lost fair and square so as simple as that, isn't it?
What a win for Arsenal.
I mean, I wouldn't say fair and square.
I mean, Saka should have been sent outb, what do you think?
Not a red card.
No, why was that a red card?
He got fouled to put him on him.
That was no chance of red card.
Come on.
Oh, mate, you're reaching here.
Come on, man.
Yeah.
Bro, it was dead tea, bro.
It was dead tea.
The thing is right.
I understand the argument that he's falling over because he got filed.
That's, but his right leg kicks Bruno.
But if you look at his left leg, he's kicking Bruno on the other leg, too.
That's the thing that I didn't get.
He's going double kick, bro.
Yeah, exactly.
If it's just one leg, maybe I understand he's falling over.
But the second leg, I mean, that was just.
Can I say something else?
No, no, you can't go ahead, go ahead, Roman.
Jump in, bro.
Jump in.
Let me, let me land the whatever they call the minerals or whatever you guys want to call it.
You bring Johnny Evan in 2023.
The diamond.
You bring Johnny Evan in 2023 you deserve to lose this game.
I don't care what nobody says, man.
There is no way, shape, a form.
A manager should be bringing Johnny Evans at 2023.
That's number one.
Number two guys, I have to say it, listen.
Roman, Roman, I'm going to let you carry on here,
but just because you reminded me of what Liam said,
but that's because, obviously, Varanza injured,
the guy who carried Messi got injured,
like, what are they meant to do?
Anyway, continue, Roman.
I tell what you meant to do?
He had McGuire on the pitch.
Why are you going to bring in on the centerbacks, by the way?
But, hear me out.
I got to speak about one play that I love is Erickson, man.
Class is personified.
This guy has been so good, and I have to give him props.
The way he actually took Mason Amal position and showed me some out what is a midfield that is.
It was pure, beautiful.
That's number one.
Number two for me, Onana, man.
I'm sorry, man.
This Onana guy, he needs to know that he's not a fucking midfield.
He's a goalkeeper, you know.
And,
And then I want to talk about the one kid that I did like, and I did like him.
Hoyberg, you guys, I mean, Hoiber, whatever his name is, right, from the striker that you guys bought.
Hoyland.
Hoilers.
The kid going to be special.
I'm telling me.
Yeah, it looks good.
Even though you guys destroy my martial, I won't speak about it.
But this kid is going to be good because I can see the attributes he has to play in the Premier League.
You can see right away.
And then I got to talk about my boy.
And I'll be shameless because Khan in his space knows this.
I promise Khan, hopefully we get my boy, Declan Rice.
I'll buy him a shirt and ship it to his house.
I've been begging for Declan Rice for four years.
And I'm not going to bring his goals that he scores.
I just look at his defensive skills.
He's always there in the right time, always tackling to perfection.
I wanted this guy four years ago
And all my friends know this
They call me the Lourdes and the clown
It was one chip in chips
Whatever the guys called over there
Well is that what Connor was calling you
No, everybody was calling me that.
But listen.
Conbro, he was right about Declan.
Why are you being hitting on him?
No, no, no, no.
But listen, I won him in Chelsea so bad.
Because for me, listen, but I'm not going to talk about,
I'm happy with Casano, but it's not point.
The reason why today what you saw,
I forget about this goal, is this defensively.
He's so freaking good, man.
And he was in the right place, the right time.
And it just, you know what?
That's why I love.
And by the way, there's another conversation I'll bring.
Remember we had a conversation in this space was said,
she would be aiding eight minutes or ten minutes in every game.
And I said, yes, because it's the beautiful of the game that I saw in World Cup
that best were going to bring is good moments.
And today you saw a billion moments in the Premier League that Arsenal won the game
and we have something to talk about.
Because let's face it, this game ends one-one.
We got what you want to say.
This game is not televised
the way it is and we talk about it.
I fucking love this.
That we have eight minutes,
six minutes,
every on.
And why am I being in the end of it
of my team losing it?
I don't care.
Because in reality,
the way Onana and United States
Waste their time.
For sure.
Because Roman,
just to add to what you're saying,
because when you're adding more time,
people are players more tired,
you're going to get more goals,
more action.
Exactly.
And I love it.
I love it.
Listen,
I'm going to be the end of this.
That's what makes it amazing.
Like, think about it.
Imagine we were doing this space after one all.
We would have been like,
yeah, yeah.
But now it's so exciting because of three ones.
Not that's special.
This is why I love Premier League.
It's my league.
And I love this.
And I always say,
my league is the best thing.
And I would like, sorry,
Robin,
I don't make me interrupt.
but everybody listening you just heard solomon say it's special when manchester united lose so
no no no boys boys boys boys look business all the data but nah for real it makes it interesting
but yeah it wasn't nice like really ganacho's goal what was that on the 87th minute that would
be fine if you ended there to be honest and that's what makes it the best and like i said it's the best league
in the world and i love my league and no what
Today, after the horror show that I watched for Chitino being a coward,
at least I saw something today to, you know, to have, like, you know, put something in mind.
But that's what it is.
It is what it is.
Listen, amazing game.
Roman, your analysis is always on point, brav, especially when you finish it by calling
Potscher Coward.
But, Sahil, like, Brov, what happened?
What went wrong?
What?
why did united lose didn't hard at the time i mean come on he had he had he even put on slabbed
because the guy who carried messy got basically injured and then he was even forced to put on
johnny evans at the end like things uh for lindulov wasn't if i'm right so i mean that's tough
you lose both of your centerbacks it's not going to be easy in any game what do you think yeah look um
I'm going to start with some positive, right?
And that is Highland, right?
This guy is a beast, man.
I'm really looking forward to this guy.
But listen, when it comes to decisions
and it comes to at the Emirates and things like that,
Manchester United, right?
You make your luck, right?
And I'll be honest with me, that first half,
I actually thought Manchester United were quite good.
Because I thought what Onana's role was,
they actually told Onana to just literally just kill the tempo.
That's all it was.
It's as simple as that.
It's like get the ball, kill the tempo.
Don't let ask go on the front foot,
because if they go along, one, two, two goes up.
basically you're out the game.
So I know we're Manchester United
and I know we want to play football,
I know we want to play attacking football,
but the truth is we're nowhere near that kind of stuff at the moment.
Arsenal are well jailed.
They've got a very, very good balanced.
You know, majority of the team is well balanced
and things like that.
I personally thought, right, it quite...
basically it shows up your Kai Habits is not in that midfield.
You've got to remove him basically and then Arsenal back up and running again.
It's as simple as that.
But look, I think Sackle was lucky.
I'll be honest with you.
But I think the occasion and I sat home and all of that.
And if I was a – look, if that happened to a United player, I'll be – I'll be fuming as well
because it wasn't that high.
Let's be honest.
But I did think he was a bit lucky.
the lines are the lines
it is what it is
it's offside or it's not offside
it's as simple as that
but I think
When you're basically an attacking team and you are a defending team,
majority of the time, right, the attacking team wins, basically.
It's as simple as that. It happened last season as well.
Manchester United were, you know, 2 and whatnot and Keti in the end,
scored a goal because, you know, their oneness is that they're attacking.
They want to win the game.
You know, most of the time that does happen.
But I think the biggest problem is what Romans touched on, right?
Manchester United Football Club at the Emirates, right?
Right.
their centre backs are Evans and Maguire, right?
That is the biggest problem.
It's as simple as that.
The fullbacks today actually did well.
Like, I thought Dala was absolutely fantastic against Saka.
I was actually worried about that side
than I was more worried about I remember Saka and Martinelli.
But dialogue was quite good.
But I think, look, at the end of the day, the picture is right,
that if you're ending up the game with Evans and Maguire,
there's your biggest problem.
Like, you know, you cannot be...
Listen, that final goal
And this is why we said they needed a centreback
Because we know Varan
Verand doesn't count because he is injured all the time
Martinez gets injured often
Like you need another good centreback
What I would say is that
This is why I kept saying that
You know when you want to back your manager
Right
You back your manager both ways
Of course you know people might want to be
Eric and Harg out
Alright I get all of that
But it happened with Joe's in Marini as well,
where he wanted certain players out,
and he couldn't get those plays out.
Yeah, I mean,
Marino made it clear, like, a lot of the...
And Van Garlanded, like, a lot of the signings
were not even his first choice.
They were like his fourth, fifth choice.
He never got the play one-term.
And that makes it even more shocking
that you don't get your first choice,
and then you're still paying 70, 80 million.
I'm not worried about the players coming in
as much as I'm more worried about players doing that,
because that basically...
What that meant, right, is that he couldn't get his centreback.
It's as simple as that.
He wanted Pavard, right?
He couldn't get him.
Did he want him?
I don't know if he wanted to climb in.
I'm not too sure about that one.
But it's quite clear that he wanted a centreback and he wanted Pavard.
But at the end of the day, right, look, if I take my United Hat off for a second, I actually
thought Arsenal played well because at the time,
At the end of the day, they're at home, the onus was on them to go along and win the game.
And they kept attacking.
Not once did they go in defensive mode.
Not once did they go in that 90 minutes.
And this is why I have to admit, right?
And I'll be honest with you guys, right?
That if you're drilled to go along and win a game, you'll see it throughout the game.
Right?
You're not going to see patches of you going in your shell or you going in like your hut for about five minutes and saying...
oh shit, now I need to change the way how we've just been, you know, told by the manager.
They were positive throughout the game.
So I have to give it to them.
At the end of the day, I'm quite happy about, I'm quite happy about, you know, Hoyland coming.
I'll be honest with you.
I'm really happy about this guy because, again, Marshall, J.P.
I mean, we're Hoyland.
Like, he looked good on the ball, but again, I'm not, I don't want to be like these Chelsea guys where, you know,
the thing called Palmer dribbled the ball a little bit and they think he's the Messiah.
Like...
He's done well on the ball, but let's see how he is in front of the goal.
Let's see how he is in terms of shooting.
Let's see how he's in a number of aspects of the game.
You know what it was that I saw quite, what was quite impressive about him, right?
Is that as soon as when he came along, you saw that straight away our attack.
So not just him, but our attack all of a sudden looked a lot better.
Like, you know, Rashford had his chance.
By the way, Rashford had two chances that I thought he could have squared up and it was...
It should have crossed.
He should have crossed, man.
He should have crossed with that.
We've talked about this earlier before with Hoyland that.
We're signing a striker.
and that if we're going to get the best out of him,
our wingers have to make the correct decisions.
And Rashford should have just taken it down the line,
crossed it on his left foot,
and we might have had a chance.
It could have been an own goal.
Hoyland could have tapped it in.
There was another player as well in the box.
And that was the, like, when I thought that happened,
and don't get me wrong,
Rashford had a very good game today,
especially I normally called out his defensive aspect,
but today he tracked back well,
and he was good offensively for the most part.
It was that one decision that just put me off,
but overall he was good.
You know what I'm saying, yeah, what I were just going to end up on, right?
What I'm seeing here is I can see what Eric Tenhaug is trying to do,
but I can only see it in patches at the moment, right?
I saw it in the first half against Tottenham, where we was pressing high up.
I can see what he's going to do,
yet when teams are going to come to him a front foot like Arsenal.
He's going to basically tell Anana, listen, guys, you're going to need to just go.
kill the tempo, you just need to go along and get the ball, kill the...
I can see what he's trying to do here, right?
The only problem is, right, you've got to be, you've got to be clinical, clinical with your
chances if you're going to play like that.
And Rashford, yeah, he was clinical with his one chance in the first half.
Second half, you've got to cut back, my friend.
You've got to make these chances.
And if you're going to make them chance, you've got to make them count.
It's as simple as that.
But look, it is what it is.
It's international break.
We're going to get absolutely hammering for two weeks.
We're up for it.
But listen, Chelsea fans, I don't know what you're doing here
for Arsenal fans.
Like, come on, man.
I have some respect.
This is the world we live in.
This is the world we live in now.
Chelsea, basically,
got kind of what you're going to say.
All I was going to say is, I'm curious to know to everybody listening, right?
So you're saying.
see the purple button on the bottom right.
If you think Sacking should have been sent off, let us know.
Do you think going out of Chorus offside?
Let us know.
Are you enjoying Manchester United fans cry?
Let us know because we do.
And we're not supporting Arsenal fans.
If Arsenal lost today, I would have been Connor,
especially Connor because he's told me before when Chelsea had lost, right?
I'd have been on his case too.
But Solomon, when Chelsea lose, you just love rubbing it in.
So as much as I hate Arsenal, for you and you alone,
I am very happy today, bro.
Khan, we're leaving with...
Yeah, exactly.
We're leaving with something.
Bro, bro.
It just feels like you're going for breadcrumbs here, boys.
It looks like you're going for breadcrumbs.
But we get it.
We get it.
It's all good.
Wait, wait.
Hold a second.
One second.
One second.
One second.
Like, do you know the Arsenal chance?
By any, John.
Because I'll tell you who does know.
Sammy, who's a Chelsea fan.
He knew all the Arsenal chants.
He's in a group chat with me.
And he's basically typing the whole chant.
Hey, is that what we're doing now?
Yeah, so hell.
Like, League group chats, yeah?
Everybody knows I'm the guy who does the message you.
Hey, you know what?
Send me a, I'll do a postal, get a million views to her.
No, no, no.
You know what?
I was about, you know what?
I was about to prop Man United.
That was going to be my whole, whole segment.
All I was going to do, brilliant game management.
Onana was actually very good.
Bruno Fernandez showed me job.
Anthony's worker was brilliant.
Rasmus Hoyland looks like a player.
And I was going to say, you know what?
Actually, Ten Haag is, what's the word?
He's been hampered here because of the lack of depth.
He's bringing on Harry McGuire.
He's bringing on Johnny Evans.
These men are joke men, right?
They're joke men.
It's not his fault that he's got those players in his squad.
What's that?
What are you talking about?
But, but, but, okay, so.
Price doesn't dictate.
That's not, that's not, that's not his player.
You can't make 10-Hag hasn't been back because you've got an 80 million.
That's not, come on, come on.
Let me finish.
It's not, it's not a 10-hard player.
It doesn't matter.
It's not a 10-5 player at all.
It's not a 10-half player at all.
Basically, I actually, I actually very, hold on that.
One second.
Pepe, let me go.
Let's have me go.
Let's see with this ton of forward later.
Where, where, let Sammy go.
Let's get me started.
Where's Pepe?
Conner.
Where was Anthony?
All right, Sammy, continue.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So, yeah.
I never heard that.
I've never heard that.
Go ahead, Sammy.
So hell's trolling aside.
Like, I was really impressed with Matches now.
I think they showed brilliant control.
And I think last season for me,
and I joked with this before,
that when they go away from home to the big six,
they go away from home to the big six,
There's a real lack of ball retention.
There's a lack of identity.
I think today was maybe the first day of the season, sorry, the first game of the season
where I've seen, okay, they actually look like they've come with a plan today.
Playing the short passes, trying to play in Erickson, like you guys said, was fantastic today.
God forbid, if Mason Mount was playing, that game would be a lot different.
But you guys are quite lucky, Man United, you know, that he isn't there.
Yeah.
And then, what I wanted to say about...
I think he meant after on time me, but go ahead.
No, about the second half, right?
And I think the reason why you probably lost that game
is that Kai Havert's has come off, right?
For me, again, and I've been drumming this on,
Havert's in that left central midfield position
is a football player.
Forget the airshot.
What he does, and I tweeted this earlier,
he's a mannequin for me, right?
Imagine what a mannequin does.
A mannequin's there gets in the way of everyone, right?
And the other thing, nobody passes to the mannequin.
If you guys were watching the game, there were so many times Havert's was free.
He was overlapping, unlapping, showing.
He was either being ignored by the Arsenal players or he was just standing in their zones.
The moment Havert comes off.
Why am I not surprised?
Fabio Vieira comes on.
He sends through balls.
They constantly pass to him.
They look to him in possession.
And then Arsenal looked much more fluid and they scored the two goals.
So, yeah.
Yeah, Kai Habert to me, I don't know how we managed to fleece Arsenal for 65 million.
Arteta, you can't fix this player.
Just let it go.
You've made a mistake.
You've gone one, two.
Let him try.
Let him try fix him.
That was going to cost more points.
So we're good with that.
You know, let him try to fix that.
Because he's going to have to.
Because it's quite funny, really.
And just to finish off, the last thing that I wanted to say is,
That was also towards the end, you know, the last 10 minutes, you know, whilst you could have won it,
it was shades of Manchester United again, away from home last season where there's a little bit of capitulation there, you know.
You've conceded two goals with, what, three or four minutes to go, that's, that is reminded me a little bit of last season.
So whilst there is a lot of good signs, and I think, you know, you did quite well.
Obviously, McGuire and Evans coming on really hampered you.
And there's a lot of injuries in that defence, so...
Yeah, actually it was very impressive.
I'm sorry, I was a touch on what you said about us having a plan.
Because I agree, especially in the first half, you know, we got the ball.
When Onana had the ball, we tried to pass it around in the defense.
And we didn't, you know, normally we don't do this or we don't have the ability to do it.
But onana would come out of his box and Erickson would come, drop to even get involved.
And we were passing it around.
We just couldn't get out.
That was the only issue was that we couldn't get out.
But there was somewhat of a plan, somewhat of a difference.
And yesterday when we talked about it, we knew we needed a response and we needed some sort of plan.
And there was some signs, you know, so that's why I'm saying it wasn't, we did lose the game, but there are some positives to take from it.
It's brilliant having a goalkeeper like Onana when you compare to the Hayer, what he was doing when you guys were going away from home.
He wouldn't, he wasn't a positive goalkeeper.
He wouldn't come out for crosses.
He didn't want the ball to his feet.
He was worried about sweeping.
All of these stuff that add up to giving your defence and your team confidence,
he wouldn't do any of those things.
So looking back and looking to your side where Onana's there and he's able to let you build up and all of that good stuff,
you know, it must give a lot of confidence to the United team.
And obviously, the last thing I want to say, because I know I've spoken a lot.
Diogo Dalo.
That was a brilliant, brilliant performance.
I haven't seen Bukai Asaka quite like that quiet in a game,
especially in a big game at home.
He was fantastic.
And that's why, again, for me,
signing Regulon made no sense for me.
And I said this in the United Sandspace.
They should have bought a centreback.
Bella Kochat for me went to a PSV.
United should have brought him in.
Instead of buying this left back that they did,
that was a big mistake.
And you can see now they've got McGuire and Evans,
which will probably start the next game.
On that last point, I do disagree with Tainabye.
Just because if we're playing both our right backs every game and one of them gets injured,
we only have one right back for the rest of the competition, so it is a struggle.
But I do agree that Dalo can be a very good left back, and his spell app, Milan on loan, proved it.
So he definitely can do a job there.
It's just for Dept, I think, why we got Regulon.
Dala will definitely start the next game after this performance anyways.
So it will take some time for Regulon to get in the team probably when the champions,
the games come around and, you know, or injuries, etc.
So we'll see how it goes.
Well, you need Regulon against the smaller teams, I think.
Some kind of less...
And also...
And also...
Don't say.
Hang on, guys.
It's quite important to know as well that when we were building up today, we didn't really give it to dialogue, mainly because he's right-footed.
So it's harder for him to, you know, turn and face goal.
He has to, it's because a left-footed player can all of a sudden open up and you can go forward, you know.
But because he's right-footed, we didn't try build to him.
He was more Martinez, Erickson, Lendell off and Wan-Skis.
Like, you're going to be.
I think depending on the game, having Dala and Wambasak and the team offensively is completely restrictive as well.
So I think there'll have to be certain games where you won't be able to play them.
You'd have to play a regal.
I agree.
Especially in a game, for example, versus Fars, we can afford it, right?
Because Dala will be on without pressure.
I thought about Chelsea there.
They can't.
But I don't continue.
Yeah, but against a big team, for example today, which Dala was very good today, especially defensively, it will hamper our build up just a tiny bit, especially if, you know, we're all under high pressure.
But that's how I see it.
Let's go to Mickey. Mickey, what's your thoughts about the Arsenal win?
Yeah.
You know, normally I come here
I chat loads of shit
and I'm very immature and childish
and I'm not going to do that this time.
I'll never do that.
But listen, I just want to say
what thing,
I'm just going to say one thing to
my bro,
Suleiman's a hell.
Just one thing.
Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding.
Rice, rice,
Baby, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding.
Because it was a colossal performance in the center of park for England's best.
Colossal.
The best six I've seen in Arsenal in ages since Jabota Silva.
He was brilliant.
And you have to say, Mikhail Arteta, tactical masterclass, outsmarting Eric Tan Hogg in the last 20 minutes, knowing that it's basically a new game during suffage time.
What a brilliant performance.
Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding.
Rice, rice, baby.
Yes.
I don't know what to do with that, Mickey, but I'll just say...
What you mean?
You just got it soak in the crates, baby.
You better win the Champions League and the Premier League, Mickey.
You're better win the Champions League.
You better win the Champions League and the Premier League, Mickey.
The amount of shit I talk, we better win because, frankly, sometimes I'm a little scared.
Like, I was afraid we lost 2-1 and I was going to come on here and I was absolutely terrified.
To be fair, I talk a lot of shit.
Listen, if you're scared, if you were scared, that just told you everything about yourself.
Because here's the deal.
Like, we dominated the game, but it's one of those, like, United.
Like, they always managed to get these, like, scrape, scrappy wins against us.
And, like, even though we dominated the game, you have to say Onana,
did a really good job of slowing the game down.
Like, it's basically anti-football for, like...
60, 70 minutes.
Like, United didn't want to play football for a long time because Eric Tenhoog knew that in the midfield,
Erasthan was going to dominate.
And so you could see what their strategy was.
And, you know, it was like one of those like, are really going to lose this again?
Like the same as Fullumor.
We deserve to win.
And we're going to get like a, you know, a scrappy win for United.
But Michael Rettza, the best developer of talents in the world.
Easy win, 3-1.
No problem.
No problem.
Yeah, let's move swiftly on there.
Let's not go back to me.
I don't want another, like, a juke-box song or anything like that.
So, let me go to Ball Talk.
Ball Talk, what's your thoughts about the United Arsenal game?
I haven't looked at your profile, so I don't know.
Well, I'm a Chelsea fan, but I sort of just talk about anything.
So, yeah, to be honest.
Yeah, I mean, Chelsea fans have to, don't there?
Yeah, exactly.
I've got nothing more to say about how shit we are.
but yeah
I've seen a lot of people
criticising an honour
but I thought he was brilliant
like he was the reason why Arsenal
weren't pressing
they knew that if they were to push up
he'd just exploit the spaces
and let United go forward
and with that last goal
the winner that Rice got
the second last goal
what more could he have done that
I saw people like slating him
that was not his fault
it took a deflection and it came at him
so quick
I thought he had a good game
And with Havert's as well, I completely agree.
He is terrible.
And the Arsenal fans who are still defending him, you will turn very quickly.
I think it's more hope than anything else.
Arsenal fans who are still like, oh, give him time and this and that.
because he is useless.
Like someone said, when Vieira came on,
the play completely changed.
I think that was the catalyst for the win.
And, yeah, Artetta did well with that one.
Thank you for that. Conner, being an Arsenal fan, we've heard about United fans.
They're very upset right now, very emotional. I get it. They're not very good.
Reality check for them. They're going to be fighting relegation alongside Chelsea and Louis.
Connor, how happy you had today with today's win?
As long as you said, alongside with Chelsea, we're all good.
Yeah, you lot, yeah, the loser brothers.
You guys 11th place? We are 12 plays, just so you know.
Yeah, the losers, that's what you lot are.
Yeah, obviously, buzzing.
I can't believe, obviously, we won at the end.
And then, obviously, from the...
I think you lot are being quite harsh from Man United.
I actually don't think they're as bad as people thought.
I think they're only going to play one way today,
which is on the counter attack.
And we played right into their hands of that first goal.
We let them have the ball in their own area.
And Arna, I think we gave him a bit too much respect on the ball.
He is really good at his feet.
I think we're good today, but we think we gave them a bit too much respect.
But the one time we did press like crazy,
I think Rice got caught and then obviously when they scored,
that was a bit, that was a bit core.
But obviously buzzing with the win.
That moment from Gabriel at the end where he played,
I think it's got an actual offside when they scored.
Absolutely unbelievable that he actually did that.
Because I think, I don't know, I think the commentator was saying,
oh, why has he done that?
And obviously, egg on his face sort of thing.
So, yeah.
Connor, can I ask you about Havert's and his role in the team and, you know, what Artetto's trying to do?
Do you think he should be playing the midfield?
Sorry, he was really, I don't know, I'm, obviously the jury's out on Havert's a lot.
I wasn't really, like, crazy about when he signed him, but he got back in, but he was poor today.
I don't know what he was really poor.
I can see why they played him over, like, Vieira, who's been playing well off the bench last few weeks and Trosside because he's just better at the, like,
If he plays in defensive role, Fabio Viero, he's not very big.
He will just get bodied.
I can see why he put Haberts there, but obviously, yeah, he had a really shit game today.
I'm not going to shoot him.
He was shit today.
And that miss, Jesus Christ.
And, yeah, he had a poor game.
I'm not like crazy about him.
I'm not going to lie, but...
I think we,
giving him a bit of time.
He's obviously not a bad player.
He's played for Chelsea and he's got to move to Arsenal,
even though apparently he's a bad player.
I just think he needs a bit of time.
He's got to keep playing.
He's obviously not a bad player,
but he's just taking time to,
obviously, get used to it.
Not everyone comes in, like Deck and Rice,
who has been absolutely unbelievable
since he's coming.
Obviously, Havitts has cost a lot of money as well.
You can't expect it as well,
but some players do take longer.
So I'm not worried about Hover,
it's just got to...
take time with him.
Not everyone works out as well.
But just one thing with Mani United,
I think Hoyland,
he looks like a right player.
He came on today.
I don't think Man United
looked good at all
until Marshal came off.
I thought Hoyland was class.
He didn't have a lot of shot
to get any shots or anything like that,
but he gave Gabriel,
he kept bodying Gabriel.
I didn't realize how big he was.
He's absolutely huge.
He was.
he's very strong
yeah
on that point
specific
you're not giving him
great guys
just one second
let me just one second before I'll give it back to Connor
to continue guys
I would love to hear your comments
on thoughts on the bottom right inside
what's your thoughts on Hoyland
let me just give you a quick
read of
some
articulate
comments. One is from Dr. Goodwin. He's a doctor, so you've got to rely on him. You've got to appeal to authority. The doctors don't get it wrong ever. Man United have been robbed. The goal wasn't an offside. It's always frustrating for fans when they feel that decisions go against them team, especially in critical moments.
I don't know, someone else said,
I got COVID, but I don't know.
Wait, that was the official?
That was from Ten Hag?
Or that was from the official referee?
No, no, that's from the doctor.
Dr. Goodwin has posted in our comments.
I mean, we listened to the doctors during COVID.
We listened to the doctors during COVID,
so we've got to listen now.
I think he's right.
You have to just assume doctors are right.
Sorry, continue kind of what you said.
Ten Hall of said it was an upside.
But let's not do this.
They'll cancer you for that, man.
Yeah, he also says an off-side.
Everyone knows I'm controversial.
I've not been cancelled.
Yeah, I ain't going to be cancelled at football space.
You guys are so chill.
Continue, Connor.
That's all right.
I don't know how you can argue with an off-side.
It's pretty, it's black and white.
You are off-side, you're not, and he's clearly off-side.
Yeah, but he's a doctor.
Right, yeah, doctor.
Like I said, Ten Hogg even said it wasn't upside.
Yeah, but you know, when it comes to doctors,
they think they have their own way sometimes.
I'm not going to lie, so.
So maybe he's so aligned with none of us or so.
But it was upside.
Just one thing before he jump off.
Dallow, I don't know, you lot was talking about him,
but I don't think you'd give him enough credit.
I thought he was really good.
Because if he was out of position against Saka, Saka Judy.
I'd argue Saka is the best one-b-one winger in the league.
quite easily actually.
I think,
he got quiet.
It's quiet today, mate.
I think Man City's new signing is better than 1v1, but I hate.
He's not. He hasn't proved it yet, as he does he?
So if he is good one, 1B1, fair player.
But he hasn't proved it in the Premier League yet, so we'll see.
But, Karnam, you know what's funny about that?
They're going to get Regalon now.
So, like, honestly, I'm sorry.
This is back for Manchester United.
Johnny Evans, Erie McGuire, Regalon, and then you have Wambosaka.
Oh, man.
I mean, respect, Wambasaka, please.
Wambasaka, defensively, is good.
Today he was very good, by the way,
in the second half especially.
No, no, so you know with Wambasaaka,
if you're playing defensive,
if you're playing defensive,
he's actually really good,
what his weakness is,
but A, attacking and B,
having to come back and then defend.
But in terms of from,
just from a purely,
like, if you had an overt attacking left back
and he could stay back more,
I think it'd be a decent right back.
He's also a very good dribbler, Sleman.
That's important to know as well.
You need a tycoon wise as well.
Sometimes, you know, you're going to need him.
So I don't believe he's that good.
But listen, God bless you guys.
I already picked you to finish six, so you can't go worse than that.
No, but Conner already said that.
Chelsea are going to get, not going to get the Europa League.
So that means seven for Chelsea, isn't it?
Listen, I don't know about Connor, but I'm waiting for force to not be a coward for one day and then play it.
Then we'll go from there.
I mean, what I will say about...
So, Roman, if Poch doesn't turn...
So, according to you, if Poch doesn't change his personality
and doesn't become a different person,
where are you expecting Chelsea to finish?
Oh, listen, I'm scared to say how it is, but I'm not...
See it, bro. Don't be scared. Don't be a coward.
No, no, no.
Solomon.
And Roman...
Can I just ask you a question?
We're finishing 10.
Yeah, go ahead, Ben.
Listen, I was just going to say, yeah, look, yeah, look, I know there's some Arsenal fans there, right?
Okay, but just between us guys, because we both basically shit, right?
For the next two weeks, let's have spaces, just Chelsea fans, just United fans, so we can like, you know...
just feel a bit better.
I'm terrified.
I just think if you look at the space title,
there's Liverpool in there, there's Arsenal, there's Manchester United.
I don't know where these Chelsea catching estuary is coming from.
I know Solomon's upset and he...
Con, just because you witnessed it yesterday in the flesh, right?
Just because you witnessed it.
But I face it, United lost 3-1.
You conceded two goals in like three minutes.
Like, what are you doing?
Yeah.
Don't deflect a picture, though.
Come on, Con, it's a bigger picture.
It's a bigger picture.
Come on, Con.
Let's not do that.
Come on, man.
Go on Naradan, especially the last guy, is just counter-attack.
End of the game, you know, he was screwed.
Yeah.
I do want to say something as well about Fernandez because, you know, valid criticism of him at times is that he isn't very effective in big games.
And I think in the first half, I can agree he was quite quiet.
But in the second half, he was very good for me.
He was able to make a lot out of high pressure situations.
He moved the ball really well when he was under pressure.
And defensively as well, he was clearing the ball a lot, getting stuck in, making tackles.
So I just want to give a shout out to Fernandah on that.
I don't know if you have this information,
but when do we expect Amramat to start, be ready to start,
like, you know, either coming off the bench or starting games.
I mean, considering Erickson's performance this week, it is quite hard.
I mean, I don't know who we're playing after the international break.
But-R-Yen-at-home.
Yeah, so maybe Amarabat should start that game just for some solidity and midfield
because Bryson will move the ball very well.
It's not going to be an easy game.
But, you know, Brighton's one weakness is being caught on the counterattack,
and that's one thing we excel at.
We saw Bryton versus West Ham they got totally caught out.
So if we can...
Sorry, are you, sorry, I was just going to say,
did Solomon, did you ask that because of
fitness, or do you think because of when he actually
breaks into the team?
No, no, fitness, fitness.
I mean, he should get straight in the team, bro.
Like, I think it's important.
If it's fitness, he's got like two weeks.
I don't know if he's been called up.
I don't know if Morocco playing and have they got gained.
I don't know about that, but he should.
I mean, Afcon is soon.
He's not injured.
So he, so why shouldn't he be.
He's going to go right in.
He's going to go right in.
He was training for Furentina, you know, on the day that he flew to us.
On the day he was announced, so he should be fit, he should be fine.
He's just not obviously being training with the team, but he's been training and everything.
So he should get these two weeks to try and, you know, integrate back into, well, into United's team, basically.
But I would say he goes straight into the team.
Like, you know, United Brighton, Old Trafford.
Who would you put them in the team instead of?
You know what, right?
On the backup, obviously, losing to Arsenal,
I would go a bit defensive-minded,
and I would go Casamira and Amra back together.
You think that would work against Brighton,
them coming at you, Metoma, and...
Yeah, and I think it's the perfect game for that, basically.
That's the reason why I'm going with that.
Yeah, I would...
So, Hill, I would do three in midfield.
I would do Erickson, what's his name again?
Erickson, Amrabat and Casimir and then put Hoyland up front if he's ready
and Rashford on the left and then the right could be Bruno
even though I wouldn't think twice.
That's interesting because obviously Erickson I thought today has had a good game
but I just think against Brighton on the back of obviously a loss
I think he should go Amrabat, Casamero, and then Bruno, and the front three should obviously have Highland and there.
And I just think that it's a good opportunity to test that, because obviously a lot of people are saying that, oh, would you play Amrabat and Casamero together?
Or would you just play Amrabah?
So it's one of those things.
So...
Why not test it?
I would definitely play them together.
I now have Erickson.
You do need someone to be able to put that pass through,
help with the transition.
I think you do need Erickson in the team.
And with Bruno, my concern is when he's part of the three or a number 10
or if he drops slightly deeper,
sometimes he can lose the ball a lot and with Brighton,
that's way too risky.
So either you drop Bruno and play Erickson for that game,
or you put three in the mid and then I have Bruno as well
and just have Rashford.
Yeah.
That Brighton game's going to be interesting, I'll be honest with you.
Brian are a very good team, bro.
Like that game actually is concerning.
Yeah, yeah.
Liam, go ahead, jump in.
Yeah, I was just going to say that what I noticed
the difference today between United and Arsenal was mentality.
I mean, I saw Arsenal, United did as well near to the end of the match,
but Arsenal were going straight as soon as they got the ball,
straight towards your net.
I mean, we saw after United scored your goal, 35 seconds later,
Arsenal, Paul did that 1-1.
And I think if United were truly there, that doesn't happen.
They would, I mean, it's a switch off in concentration.
And then when the 1-1 happened, until later in the second off,
United were conservative, I mean,
That's what I know is the difference between the two sides.
It's just, Arsenal were always looking to win the match,
whereas United were a bit, oh, we'll take a draw,
or we'll leave it late, we won't really attack yet.
And that's where I think Arsenal, in the end, got the result,
because they were so ruthless and so attack-focused
that it was inevitable that they'll get a goal,
and in the end they got to.
You know what, Liam?
Liam, there's a quick question, though.
I'm just looking at the league table.
And Chelsea, along with Fulham, are bottom, in comparison to all the London teams.
So the bottom of the London team.
Yeah.
I mean, how does that make you feel?
I mean, I'm not really surprised.
As a Chelsea fan, Sullivan, you've learned to accept us these first, well, these last two years that...
No, this happens.
I mean, if you look at these statistics.
No, but you guys were like Potches the Messiah.
There's a B.
Someone was saying plan A, plan B, plan C, plan D.
We've created the most big chances in the league,
and yet we can't score a goal.
I just said everything you need to know.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, don't be sending shit
my boy, Connor.
Like, Jackson is the best to strike it in the whole universe.
So he's definitely not him.
No, he's a good striker, but he was awful yesterday.
But, I don't know,
I don't know why you're always thinking about Chelsea
on the United Space to it.
Bro, it's because there's so many of you here, so it's like, you know what I mean?
I've got to take on the boys.
I've got to take on the Chelsea boys.
It's just my nature.
Now, you're just deflecting because United was so embarrassed today.
They were embarrassed.
I mean, United were, I mean, I don't think they were embarrassing.
I think there's certain things that didn't go their way.
I think ask.
do have a lot more of a stronger team.
I think what Arsenal have done
is a good example of what one should do.
He's been backed significantly.
He wanted to throw Obama Young out.
He threw him out.
He wanted to throw Ozela out.
He threw him out.
He's been backed significantly.
And then look, you've seen the fruits of that
where even though the team is good,
is good, but they're performing really well
because he's got his team.
And if Arsenal had a striker rather than have it,
I think that was a mistake he made.
I did. Then they actually would be challenging.
But also, Solomon, you love saying
Bowley's Billions.
And yet you, on the country.
Bollies billions.
Yeah.
Ten Hogg's not been backed because, you know,
McGuire isn't his signing,
80 million.
60 or 70% of that Boleys billions isn't Potch's players.
So you've kind of shut yourself in the foot with that point.
No, no, I missed that.
What do you mean?
What did you say?
I mean, you keep saying.
You keep saying that Bowley has spent billions and billions and pot,
and yet you say when McGuire and Ten Haag hasn't been backed,
that it's not his player, you know, he shouldn't count, he hasn't been backed.
I mean, he's a bit hypocritical, don't you think,
when 600 million wasn't on Potch's players.
It was on Potter's players.
I'll get you now, I get you now, I get you now.
So that, first of all, that wasn't my argument, that was, I think, So Hill's argument.
But in terms of, irrespective of Maguire, like,
I don't think that's him not being backed because you can try and sell a player,
but a player is only going to go if he's willing to do so.
He's on some good money, so obviously it's hard to put him out.
But separate to that, what I think is they should have bought under the centreback.
That's my position.
Like, that was imperative.
You know Varan's injury prone.
You know Martinez is injury prone.
Varan's like...
regularly injured as well.
It's not like it's rare.
So you do need another centreback.
So my position is he should have bought
another centreback.
Now, I don't know if it's his decision,
the board's decision,
but that should have happened.
In terms of Maguire,
that's the Hale's argument.
I actually think,
even if the board wants to sell someone,
if McGuire doesn't want to go
based on his current wages,
I don't think it's easy to do.
What's your thoughts, Liam?
I mean, you've got a point, I mean, you got Johnny Evans.
How many Chalding there? He's awful.
I mean, yeah, you should have got 10.
I mean, Johnny Evans was part of the Leicester winning squad, so I mean,
he's one of more titles than Arsenal have in the last 20 years.
I mean, I don't get that.
McGuire was one example, though.
There's other players as well that are still here that should have gone.
So the point that I'm trying to make is that,
Obviously, if you're basically saying from a priority point of view,
he should have prioritised a centreback, then that's a different argument.
But in terms of basically saying, oh, you know, these players that he didn't want are still here.
I still go with that because they're causing problems.
At the end of the day, he could have had another centreback if McQuire was gone,
or like Donny Van der Beek or Eric Baie and, you know, even you can say to him,
Scott McTominee, he's not even in the squad today, by the week.
right so so like there's these plays that are just i just think they're just going to cause
problems for him and he doesn't want to play them they're not his part of his system and and today
we're finishing up with maguire and evans like come on like that's that's a big problem and
like you can say the blames on everton heart but i also think that you know from a from a backing
point of view it's always it's also the people at the top as well yeah but it is whereas
whereas folly it is
it's, there is a huge fault.
Like, even left back,
center back is more important than left back.
It's a big floor there, man.
It's a huge flaw.
Like, it's not even something that's unexpected.
You know,
it's guaranteed,
it's guaranteed,
Varan's gonna get injured and you need to back up.
And then you know...
it's highly likely
Matt Martinez is going to get injured as well
so you definitely
definitely need another centreback
and we're just way too weak at there
as soon as Maguire came on
I was like it's not going to be good
but Usman thanks to joining us
you are a United fan as far as
I know what's your thoughts about today's game
yo thank you for having me bro
Yeah, look, first thing's first, man.
I'm not going to lie, I'm absolutely devastated.
I understand if he'd be so.
Of course, he would be.
I mean, the thing is, I think Decker-Rise kind of something up perfectly in his post-match.
I mean, basically said the game's fine margins.
I mean, we literally were like, what, an inch away from winning the game and we end up losing it.
So I think, look, for me personally, obviously I'm devastated.
Of course, our fans are going to be happy and rightfully so.
It's a big win for them.
But...
From a generic perspective, you know, three out of the back, four injured, which is obviously a worry.
Finishing the game, McGuire and Evans is up to the peak.
In 2023, I don't know how we've come to that conclusion, given how much money we spent.
Obviously, at Amrabat, we need it, we didn't have an option in midfield to come off the bench.
We looked tired towards the end and also brought three subs on, which I thought changed the game from their perspective.
Overall, I think, you know, obviously, look, I'm completely good, but I think there's a lot of positive signs.
Once we get our team back, obviously, the backline fit,
obviously, Amber back in.
And hoiling, to be fair to him,
I don't know what, you know, a rival fan saying,
but I thought, you know, very impressive, to be fair,
he was causing a lot of problems, a little young lad as well.
Yeah.
He was harrowing the defenders.
I mean, he was, you know, he was battling with them consistently.
And his hold-up play was good.
Like I said, if you're talking an inch away from his whole-up leading to the winning goal.
So, look, obviously, the wound is very much deep.
Obviously, you know, I'm fuming at the moment.
But the bigger picture is, it's not the end of the world from the United perspective.
There's a lot of positives and hopefully can build on it.
Boys, I'm just talking about the offside.
I've put it in the nest above.
I mean, I'm telling you, bro.
That weren't offside.
Look at it.
It's all maths.
Let me go for Eduardo.
Eduardo, what's your thoughts?
First of all, I'm quite excited. We won. As they said, it's fine margins. It was a few inches that made the difference. I think Gabriel's action was pivotal. If he would have kept on running with Garnatchel, it would have been a red or he would have still scored.
And wow, I got to say that I was knees sliding on my living room watching the game.
those type of situations happen last year
and I just hope it doesn't happen regularly
and I just hope it doesn't happen regularly
because it doesn't show consistency within the team.
I think today we weren't that great in terms of confidence.
We respected United way too much,
and you're not aware in presenting anything, in my honest opinion,
until you hit us on the break and Rashford with his usual finish year.
For some reason, I think Ben White has some type of...
I think he's a bit scared of Rashford
because every time he engages
he starts walking back, walking back
and then Rashford has the opportunity to shoot
and well you took the lead there
so yeah
I think we look a bit more disjointed than last season and because of Havert's inclusion.
Player, which I am not going to criticize a lot because I think he needs a whole refurnishing of his style because he's been playing as a center forward for three years.
But in terms of the other signings, I think Declan Rice was fantastic today.
And he showed the leadership and he showed that he's the 105 million man.
So I'm quite happy with that.
Eduardo, what's your thoughts there, Eduardo?
Sorry, go ahead, Bolton.
Yeah, I was just going to say what you said about Haver's.
I can see what you're saying about the time.
Do you not think that the payoff with giving him time is that the team suffers with draws and losses that you shouldn't have taken just because you're including someone who isn't really necessary?
Like last season, you were fine.
Is it worth giving Haverts the time that he needs?
It's a great debate because I think Haverts has been mismanaged, I think, in my opinion.
I think the height thing is a very relevant point because when Haverts used to be an attacking midfielder,
he was 6'1 by the time and now he's 6'4, 6.5 and that really affects their turning radius
and other aspects of being a midfielder.
So I think sometimes you have to...
go through the pain to have something better
because even though we looked way better last year,
I think Shaka,
his Shaka's contributions were great,
but I think the ceiling was limited
to the Arsenal team.
So I think Arteta is going to try to find a way to manage Havert's and Vieta
because I think now with Vieta's performance as he deserves to start.
So I think it's going to be something gradual where Havert sometimes comes up the bench
and try to keep doing that experiment in training and in the last few minutes
because Fabio just deserves to start now.
So hell, drop-head.
I was just going to say, right, that...
I actually think that that's Manchester United's best performance this season.
I'm not even going to lie.
I actually, for the first time, for the first time this season,
I could actually see what he's trying to do from the back
and also how he potentially sets up against certain type of teams.
And I didn't see that against wolves.
Like I saw the...
I saw the pressing at the top, right?
I saw a lot of high pressing against wolves for about 15, 20 minutes, right?
But they won't clinical.
I saw patches against Tottenham for the first 30 minutes, right?
But then to go to the Emirates, who will, you know,
they played fantastic last season, free-flowing football, right?
We was expecting in Arsenal to be on the front foot and come at us, right?
To nullify the game.
To kill the game and to say to Onana, listen, you're going to get the ball and you're going to kill it, right?
It worked.
It absolutely 100% worked, right?
And then to have the players around you to do all of that, right?
That means that they were doing what he's told him to do.
You know, you can see the pattern.
You could see what was going on.
The problem that I have is that if you're going to do that, right, then at the top, you have to be clinical.
And when you have the ball, you've got to keep the ball as well.
And the worst thing is, the worst thing you could do is you get the ball at the top and then all of a sudden you lose the ball.
So for me, I just think that Rashford decision making in this kind of style and in this kind of, you know, football setup...
it's going to have to become better, right?
Hoyland is unbelievable.
I mean, I'm not going to go to the extent of, like, you know,
is he class and all of that.
But what he did show, what he showed me today is something that, you know,
off the ball work.
That means a lot of players can run off the ball,
off the work that he's going to allow us to do.
So I just think here that I could see what he's doing.
The only problem I have, right, is that,
Are we going to be clinical enough to go along and, you know, score the goals that we need to do?
Because if we don't, all of a sudden, teams like Arsenal, City, even you can say, you know, Brighton, these kind of teams, they're going to come along and they're just going to finish us off towards the end if we set up like that.
So you've got to be clinical.
And I just think that we actually had quite a few good chances.
In fact, I would say...
up until that Rashma chance,
we actually had very good chances, you know,
to win the game.
And, yeah, so I just think
from a performance point of view,
it was really good,
and it was actually the best one
that I've seen this season.
I know it sounds odd after 3-1,
lost to Arsenal.
Guys, we are going to be now moving on to talk about Liverpool.
After this space, we will be doing a subscriber-only space on Mario's page.
So if you want to subscribe, it's $1.
Go to his page.
On the top on the right side, you can click on it and subscribe.
Comments on the bottom as well, bottom right inside.
I've seen some amazing comments.
The offside, I've put it on the nest already
because it's just obvious that it was an offside from that picture.
Details matter.
Now, separate to that, let's move on to Liverpool.
Solemont, if I may, just before we went to the Liverpool game, I just want to add to the last few things O'Hale said there because it's quite important.
Yeah, go ahead, go ahead.
So Hill was talking about how in the final third we need to be more clinical, and I totally agree.
And if you look at our final third, we made 74 passes in the final third with only a 64% passing accuracy, compared to Arsenal, we made 209 with 80% pass accuracy.
So you can tell, like, they had a much larger sample size, and the accuracy was 15% better than ours, which is,
It's quite important that so he'll mention that.
And another thing as well, which you mentioned,
which is, you know,
Arsenal's
we had a really good shape
defensively they weren't able to
you know they were attacking all the game but they couldn't make
that many chances and one third of the
actual XG came from the last two goals
and so in terms of
actual chances created they weren't that far ahead of us
in the game and like Seahill said you know
up until that trash return we hadn't made good chances
in the game and you know the stats reflect that
Appreciate that. And actually I was going to move on, but I know Aisha's a Arsenal fan and things went well for us.
So let's hear Aisha's thought before we move on. Isha? It's bottom left inside, Isha. You just need to unmute your mic.
I think she's way too excited about the Aislemon. She shocked herself. She just, she's got no word to describe.
No, Ice Limon. Sorry, can you actually move to another person? I'm going to talk after the person.
Sorry, I'm currently on the road.
For sure, for sure.
No worries, no worries.
So let's move on to Liverpool,
while Aisha sort of her situation.
So Liverpool, I mean, they were impressive.
I did watch quite a number of bits of the game.
I think I watched like...
a large portion of it.
They looked much better.
They looked a lot more dominant.
They controlled the game really well.
Yeah, they were really impressive.
Actually, if anything, what they've done is if they continue with that form,
they're basically guarantee saying that we're going to be in the top four.
And then they may be the only team was possibly going to challenge.
Yeah.
with possibly Arsenal, but I always think that Arsenal are never going to get there.
We know what they are.
In their dream scenario, they're always like a top four team.
Titles just a dream for them now.
But Liverpool may challenge, and if they do, then it means what?
You've got Liverpool in top four there.
Who else is going to get in the top five?
But Liam, you got your hand up.
What's your thoughts about the Liverpool performance?
Yeah, I watched Liverpool and they were good.
I mean, it was a complete change compared to what we've seen if Liverpool were late.
one player that really stood out to, well, two players.
One was Darwin Nunes.
I thought he was a nuisance to fill up all game.
They couldn't get near him.
He just found space again and again, again.
He hit the bar.
I think he got an assist off of corner.
He was good.
And also was Trent.
I thought Trent today was, was written better than what we've seen.
I mean, he got an assist.
The constant bulls in behind and through the lines.
And he was great today.
And I'm just going to talk on the first goal.
That finish from Sabozli,
I mean, to hit it on the volley or half volley and keep it down with that much power,
great technique from him.
I mean, he was another one who had a brilliant game.
And overall, I thought, Liverpool deserved it.
I mean, they were head and shoulders better than Villa.
And that's surprising because coming into the new season,
many of us thought Villa would look so much better than what they have been.
They were poor against Newcastle.
They weren't great today.
And I think today Liverpool just was head and shoulders better than Villa.
Let me go to Jeremiah. Jeremiah, I believe you're a Liverpool fan. What's your thoughts?
Hey, yeah, I am. I watched the game.
Yeah, wow.
What a change from game week one to today.
I think this is no shit in you.
From maybe for about a year, this is the best performance we had.
Right?
No Van Dyke, no Carnate.
But for me, we just controlled the game.
Robertson, who for me hasn't been good this season.
He did something that he hasn't done in a while, which is, you know,
recycle possession.
Not everything needs to be a one, two, and bomb forward.
He kept his composure, defended really well one-on-one against the D.R.B.
And Joe Gomez, Joel Matit, defended really well.
People, you know, we like to say they're finished.
But for me, this game, they defended well, held their own.
And Joe Gomez especially put in a good showing.
Trent Alexander Arnold.
There's a reason why we say he's the best right back in the Premier League.
I mean, he just controlled that game.
Some of the balls he was putting in, it doesn't matter if it was Villa,
Real Madrid or Man City.
They were just spot on.
And for me, that kid's quality is ridiculous.
Now, I'm looking at the midfield and you've talked about it there.
You know, it's definitely a drastic...
performance change from last week and a lot of that for me is due to the fact that
so bovly it's like every game i see him he gets better right first of all what a goal with his
weak foot right what a first goal in the premier league and
it's his work rate, it's his willingness to give himself as an option.
He's going to ground in the box, but he's winning the ball.
He's taking set pieces.
He's doing everything, right?
And then I have McAllister who find himself in an unfortunate position
where he has to be the one to play out of position.
When he first came to the club, they told him he'll play as a right mid.
So Bozlai comes in, plan changes to left mid.
We don't have a DM, so now he finds himself in that position.
However, he's adjusted.
brilliantly. For me, he did something. If you don't have the destroyer attribute, what you
really need to do is make sure that you keep things ticking and be calm and composed in possession.
And that's what he did for me really well. Just kept passing and moving, passing and moving.
And when he saw the opportunity to, he did try and unleash the forwards, which I really loved.
Curtis Jones.
Another guy, he doesn't get a lot of respect.
And I know rival fans probably don't think too much of it.
But he was, for me, he was brilliant.
And there were a lot of question marks whether he could continue his form over the last 10 games of this season.
And he was brilliant today for me, bar one moment where he had a bit of a lapse in concentration.
Curtis was really good and he's improved his decision making,
which is what you always want to see from a youngster, right?
I think he's only 23 as well, so he's not even, you know,
he's still quite young in terms of football and age.
Then I get on to my forwards.
Darwin Nunes, I'm happy that I can be here for a second week in a row.
And prop up Darwin Nunes, who was getting absolutely ribbed on by every fan base last season, right?
And for me, he's just a chance magnet, right?
You can talk about that he missed X, Y, Z chances, but today he displayed something that Liverpool fans will tell you is more important.
And that was the all-round aspect of his game.
His pressing was better.
He literally looked...
You could literally see clips of him looking over his shoulder, checking where his teammates are before he goes, which is, you know, a complaint that a lot of people had.
He got the assist for Mosella.
Darwin Nunez, in that, inside that box is world class.
I'm telling you that for a fact.
Yeah.
His touches weren't off.
He linked up well with teammates.
He defended well.
He was clearing the ball, tried to put in tackles.
So he didn't get his goal today, but he came out with an assist and a brilliant performance.
And for me, he followed up the Newcastle performance really well.
And lastly, for me, the man that Sky Sports tried to run a shameless agenda on Mo Salah that he was, you know,
basically trying to insinuate that Mo Salah wants to leave when it was never happening.
For me, he's really stepped up as a leader in this team.
I think he's recognised that he's not going to be here forever, right?
And you can see him taking more of a facilitator role.
It's not everything is about part of it.
passing the ball to receive it so I can take a shot.
It's about getting his younger teammates going, right?
So you do see him looking for Nunez.
You do see him trying to cross the ball and switch play to Diev
to put him in a position to score.
Some of his, his passing is so underrated.
You talk about he's just a finishing merchant, blah, blah, blah,
can't use his right foot.
The outside the foot path crossed the Darwin Nunes,
where he should have scored, was out of this wild.
For me, Mo Salah,
Take a bow, man.
All of those rumours that were circulating,
they turned many a man's head,
but he got his goal today.
He put in a very professional performance,
was a leader today.
And I don't want to say we're going to challenge
because, you know, for me,
that's taken it too far.
There's still a few glaring issues in our team,
and we still don't have Van Dyck and Kanate,
but this team...
every year they talk crap about my team,
but we show you why we're the real deal
and we're the only ones to compete with Citi.
Because I don't think many teams in this league
have the mentality that we do, yeah?
I see a lot of Chelsea fans in here.
That's not an unforest performance.
I'm sorry, you know, to take a slight jab.
But my team, no matter how dead we are,
there's always a spark of light.
There's always someone who's going to do the job
because these players have that winning experience.
Emma, didn't we play you the first game?
I'm happy about that.
And the puck, if I'm not beside you.
First game's always a toss-up, Con.
Always a toss-up on the first game.
Let's not talk about that.
The much, much better team.
I'd say, yeah, you could say that you obviously have the advantage of playing at home as well.
But I also do think with a lot of our players having to play in unfamiliar positions,
due to not having a DM and having to shuffle the front line
and having to play Jotad Diaz and Salah,
who don't play together as much.
Gapult in midfield where he's never played.
Macalester first game in the Premier League.
Macalester and Sabo's life first game in the Premier League.
I could argue, you know, just a few teething issues,
and they weren't ready for the league, so you saw that.
But since then, they've looked miles better than they did in the Chelsea game.
And if you've watched our games, that's a fact, unfortunately.
Sammy.
Sorry, go ahead.
Simon.
No, no, go ahead, Solomon.
Now, I was just going to pass it up to Sammy. Sammy, go ahead, bro.
Yeah.
I mean, you know, it was a nice speech by Jeremiah.
I think Liverpool did actually pay quite well.
But I do want to say, I did actually watch the game.
And for me, Villa tactically, and I hate being a tactical on this app.
Like, I'm not here to give anyone tactics.
Like, we all watch football in whatever way, right?
But, like, just like a simple thing for me that I watch today is that,
Villa played their line way too high, right?
And so if you're going to play a high line,
you've got to be putting pressure on the ball, right?
That's a basic thing with the ball.
You either play a high line and put pressure,
or you sit deep and play a deep block.
Now, if you go to Anfield, it's probably more wise.
You know, if you're going to try and play, you've got to play one or the other.
What Villar did for me today is they played a high line, but they didn't put pressure on the ball.
And so that in football, that's suicide, right?
The moment you play a high line and you don't put pressure on the ball and the other team has got Trent Alexander Arnold, right, like a cannon back there, he's like a quarterback.
And then you've got runners like Nunez and Sala running in behind.
Like you are asking for trouble.
You're asking for them to just constantly play the ball in behind you.
You don't have the speed either to keep up there.
The defence is quite slow, especially on the side that Sala is.
And every time that Trent was getting the ball, he's getting his head up.
And Sal is constant fret.
And that's where I actually rate Darwin Nunes because for me, he's a striker that, again, got hated a lot last year.
But I think...
As a profile, if you look at Nunes, the height, the physicality, the movement, you can almost
push him into sort of, if he gets that form and consistency run of games, for me, he reminds me
a lot of the Harlan's and the Ossemen's, that profile. I'm not seeing he's as good. No one was
as good as Harlan right now. But if you can hear me out, that his movement, his power, his big man physique,
like...
He's always a threat.
That sort of side of the game.
For me, he's that sort of profile, right?
And then to link up with Salar as well, you know,
obviously I want him to go, but he's such a joy to watch, right?
And Alexander Arnold, again...
brilliant today.
And then just lastly, I think if you're Ashton Villa and your Una-Eemoree,
you know, you're under a little bit of pressure.
They've spent a good amount of money this summer.
They've backed the manager.
You know, they've got Europa League football.
But for me, look, if you're going to go and you're going to be Villa and you're going to try and play,
you've got to put Liverpool on the pressure, start high.
You know, they're missing their two centrebacks.
You can sometimes, you know, I think was it one of the games of season where Alexander Arnold got caught on the ball?
So...
if you really go and be brave, you know.
Instead, what they did, they ended up just playing in no man's land.
They played a high line, but they didn't put pressure on the ball,
and that just left them vulnerable the whole game.
Sammy, would you say, oh, sorry.
Sorry, go ahead, Jeremiah.
I got to have a minute.
Sorry, I just wanted to ask you a quick question.
Do you think that Una Emery messed up with putting on Leon Bailey
instead of bringing on Longley straight away, the second time?
the centreback because instantly like maybe a minute or so after that you get mattie cash
who's who then been moved to an unfamiliar position concede an own goal and for me if you have a
centre back there maybe that doesn't happen so i wanted to know your thoughts yeah i mean i mean
own goals and stuff mistakes sort of happen but
But in the same breath, I think Bailey missed the chance in the first half.
And I think Liverpool do, even though they played very well,
I think they always give you a chance.
So I think that's why he sort of had those attacking players on there.
And on another day, but they probably could have got at least one in that first half.
So, yeah.
you know, that's the thing with Liverpool.
And that's what I was saying, if you do play High Line, go and be brave.
Go and hunt them down.
Go and take the game to Liverpool because you could definitely have done that today.
But, you know, that was a tactical disaster for me anyway.
Guys, we are going to be wrapping up soon just to remind you that we have got a subspace on Mario's page immediately after this.
But guys, I mean, your Chelsea fans are going to love this.
I mean, our Tetis' kids are.
came out with a comment, let me read it to you, posted by
for Vizio Romano.
He says, I said to have it.
I said to have it.
Things are hard at the beginning.
When I met my wife at the beginning,
it was really hard to conquer her.
It was hard.
I had to try and message her and go and go.
And at the end, when she says,
yes, we can be together.
It's beautiful.
So...
Athlete given Habits the encouragement that he will conquer the Premier League,
the same way he managed to conquer his wife.
I think that's what he's saying.
This isn't my opinion, although you guys know my opinion.
I'm extremely controversial on my page.
But, Conner, sorry, Messi, let me give you a last thoughts before we do jump off.
Go ahead.
I want to say the news just came out that Sanjo wasn't in the squad because...
poor attitude in training, so he has been dropped for that.
So I just thought I'd let you guys know.
Yeah, he's on 350K a week, and he's not getting in the team ahead of Anthony O.
Rashford, and now it looks like he's just fallen out with the manager.
But hasn't he had these attitude problems for a long time now?
Honestly, I don't know what the issue with is with him.
In terms of on the pitch commitment, it's always lacking.
That's why he's been used as an impact.
impact substitute for a lot of the time.
I mean, last season, he was sent away on his own personal training campaign to get match fit.
And when he came back, there was some good signs, but in the end, there's never any consistency with him.
So it's just sad to see, you know, we've signed to spend a lot of money on a big player.
He's on high wages, and it looks like it's not going to work out well for us at the moment.
Connor, any last thoughts before we wrap up?
Yeah, besides a game yesterday that I will not speak of.
Yeah.
It's been some good week in the football.
Tottenham, they're doing what I thought they would do when I watched in the first game
this season.
I thought they could be somewhat serious the season and they're looking likely to be serious
this season.
Man City, the most boring team in Premier League history, we get it, you're good.
They made light work with their opponents.
As always, was it fire one if I remember rightly?
It's a second.
It's the same stuff every week with City.
It's boring, no winning, early in roll,
and we've got another guy in here.
Ruben Go.
Conner, have they made the Premier League into the Farmers League?
Yeah, well, basically, yeah, like, every time you go into a new season,
who you think is going to win, everybody says city,
who always ends up winning, more or less city.
I'm tired, Con, I'm tired of this robot, man.
He's been here for a year.
I'm sick of it.
Yeah, you just check Harlem scores each week.
Easy money.
If you want to make some money betting, just put your house,
your mortgage on Harlem scoring on the weekend.
This is not betting advice, guys, and kids.
Yeah, but other than that, and obviously Chelsea losing, today, it's a great way to end the weekend of football.
Sadd for you, Manchester United fans, controversial decisions, late goals getting chalked off, late winners in the 97th minute, by the way.
That's a talking point itself, 97 minutes of extra time.
So it's the best league in the world, man, and despite Chelsea losing, it's been a good week in the football, mate.
Awesome summary there, Conrad.
And I appreciate everybody joining us for this space.
We're now, unfortunately, got an international break,
so there won't be no spaces for a couple of weeks until we're back.
Hey, Solomon, I'm hearing there's a Ronaldo Messi space.
Am I right in saying that?
There is going to be a Ronaldo messy space,
but most likely you're going to do it in the preseason.
Fireworks.
Goodness.
Brods, you guys are going to realize that Ronaldo is the go-te.
And there is no...
Are you basing it off Instagram followers, yes, Suleiman?
I mean, so the Instagram follow shows us that not only he's either good,
he is the most...
impactful, the most
inspirational. I knew you
are shameless. I knew you ashamed.
The most engaging superstar
in the universe. I mean, he goes
to a desert. He goes to
Saudi Arabia full of Bedouins and he makes
them relevant. Like, who else can do that
except Cristiano Ronaldo?
But guys, in addition to that,
you know,
In addition to that, guys, we do have NFL starting.
NFL season is starting.
Yeah, yeah, it's time to go.
It's time to go.
Yeah, and Kansas City Chiefs against the Detroit Lions.
We will be here at 9 p.m. Eastern, 1am, UK on Thursday.
So, well, UK is Friday.
Join it.
It's going to be hype.
We're getting so much excitement about this.
So much...
So much enthusiasm.
It is going to be fire.
Elon Musk did say that sports is now the most...
Sorry, it's Linda.
She was saying that sports is the most engaging content in the entirety of X.
And now we're going to start the NFL spaces.
They are going to be hype.
Thursday.
Solomon, when are you going to bring NBA content?
When's NBA season starting, Sammy?
Oh, let's go.
I'll be there.
I'll be there.
We will.
When the season starts, we will be there.
But I'll be honest with you, NBA is not my speciality, so I'm going to have to get somebody to roll that.
Wait, wait.
Are you saying football is your speciality?
Oh, yeah, NFL.
Yeah, I'll be your mainstoress, bro.
Don't call it football, bro.
Call it NFL.
Why are you disrespecting?
No, no, I meant soccer.
I meant soccer.
Oh, so, oh, right, yeah, yeah, bro.
Keep in real, bro. Keep in real.
You've got to use terms of what the Americans understand.
Our audience is mainly American, Sammy.
So, anyway, guys, yeah, we shall see you.
9 p.m. Eastern, 1 AM, UK.
It is going to be fire.
Sammy's not going to be there because he doesn't understand what American football is.
He's from London.
They don't get out of that city.
No, no, shout out my boy Patrick Mahomes, man.
That's a cold, brother.
Yeah, yeah, he's fire, he's fire.
It's going to be legit.
Oh, my man knows who Patrick Mahomes is.
Oh, nice comeback there, Samin.
They're legit.
Anyway, appreciate you guys coming.
We shall see you on Thursday.
It will be fire.
Up the chance.
Cut out.
