Arsenal 3 Man Utd 2: How Arteta’s frantic football overwhelmed United

[@cooper3561]

As an Arsenal fan , Zinchenko has been so underrated in this title charge . He brings such calm to the team , and is basically a playmaker from deep

[@douglaswright2143]

City fan with massive respect for Zinchenko, Jesus and Arsenal. I used to live on Highbury Hill during the early Wenger years, and if we don't win the league, I'm delighted that it will be Arsenal.

He was poor today. Had to be helped out a lot in defence and did nothing going forward. He screamed after the goal but that was his highlight.

Wouldn't swap Zinchenko with anyone in the league. Immense player. Technical ability, experience (won 4 pl titles), composure, incredibly good at reading the game, knowing when to push with the ball, when to cut in, when to pass it back, when to just keep it, and on top of that plays with his heart on his sleeve. Can't find a replacement for him man. What a player he has been for us. ❤

In fairness to tv pundits, they have to speak about games immediately after they finish and don't have the time JJ does to re-watch the game and analyse the tactics in such depth. That said, they often spout utter rubbish and I'm very thankful Tifo exists! But it's unreasonable imo to expect tactical analysis like this straight after a game

[@r3zaful]

@@cynshie honestly, there's a reason why player manager doesn't work 90% of the time, there specialized teams from analysts, tactical coach, technical director and to the top of the hierarchy, the manager. If they can't synergies, the players will guaranteed underperform, even with the best talents available.

"Whether Arteta came up with it or Guardiola, don't know, starting to wonder" !!!!!! Since Arteta was hired he's been spoken about extremely highly by Pep, Klopp, Mourinho, players who played for him either at City or Arsenal, and even guys like Guillem Ballague -- and people didn't give that a ton of weight because the results weren't consistently validating the process and tactics. But I think we've got the next super coach on our hands here, it's so exciting watching everything come together for him now. I'm loving it.

I want the title of course but I'm just enjoying the ride and I'm happy we're shaping up to be back at the top where we belong. A return to the Champions League alone honestly means a lot for the progress. We might be able to make some really exciting signings in the summer.

Ive been supporting Arsenal for years. I live in the states and got to see them live for the first time on their preseason tour in Baltimore after a 6 hour drive. I jokingly said to my dad that we were watching the title winners live, and as every game passes it looks more and more possible. The technical ability is incredible and the way they control games is just a joy to watch.

[@jacket2383]

I've read somewhere on reddit that Arteta's tactic right now is what cruyff would've preferred than guardiola. When pep transitioned to false 9 system because he didn't have a striker, he didn't really need to use fast wingers to win matches. Now that he bought his striker, it was a mistake to not replace sane and sterling. Guardiola doesn't like to keep players who want to move out but he could have at least replaced them.

The difference here is that Arteta allows arsenal to sit back concede possession in order to speed up recovery, they essentially get 15 mins off warming down and then 15 mins of half time to fully rest knowing they can come out in the second half guns blazing and aggressive. Obviously this tactic can be used in other parts of the game. I.e. getting 2 goals early and sitting back and playing counter football giving our attackers a rest.

[@Mythe66]

@@Shelsight Hiya! Happy to! I don't know if xG is formulaic, I think it is more statistic. The xG of a shot looks at all the shots taken from a similar position/situation and how many have gone in. It takes that as a probably of the shot going in. xA is the same. It looks at all the passes/crosses made in a similar position/situation as a given pass/cross and takes the percentage of those passes/crosses turned into an assist as the probability of the pass/cross in question becoming an assist. With regards to Arsenal's play, I noticed they didn't do anything (pass, take on, shot) unless it had a low chance of being turned over (losing possession and having to defend), unless it had a very high xA/xG. You could call the former probability (an offensive action resulting in a turn over) the xTO, but it isn't a regularly used thing yet (I don't think)
