Just thinking the Gunners maybe subdue their gifted players somewhat tactically.

For example it appears Arsenal used a 4-3-3 shape with the ball with their centre-backs split to build around the Man U front 3 with Odegaard making their wide runs which helped the Arse to build around inside the spaces between the advancing Scum full-backs, so Arsenal then had access straight into Viktor Gyokeres.

Reading the various tactical analysis reports
the major issue with this was that whenever Man U won possession in the middle third, huge wide spaces were available for counter-attacks due to Arsenals high full-backs. In conjunction with ManU's direct passing, Arsenal thus looked vulnerable when they didnt progress up the pitch with sequences of passes. 💡



This should play into our hands if we can exploit that situation & clinically finish any opening via awareness & pace & the use of the better skills that Piroe/Nmencha currently can offer.

Conclusion.
Artetas team were actually 'most' vulnerable from their own poor counter-attacking as the game went on cos they 'failed' to secure play inside Man U's half for 'long-enough' to flip the momentum particularly in the second half.
The likes of Cunha & Mbeumo then started to thrive on Man U's attacking transitions as their back line skipped the midfield & hit direct onto their front line which on another day goal chances badly missed maybe would have been taken.

It'll be interesting to see how we are set up & who DF picks against the Gunners as we have nothing to lose in reality so can play with no real pressure.
