You mean the one got out played by Lampard the other day?
Woolwich aren't doing anything special. It's just that United are extremely shite.
This season is just weird
So I'm not allowed to judge Mourinho yet cos apparently he needs time. Arteta hasn't been with the Scum as long but I can already see clear offensive patterns in their play. FML
All going according to plan since we're winning the Champions League
No longer just a feeling.
The Scum have never struggled to score. It’s their defence that’s fucking horrific. Bit like us really.
Utd played us off the park!!!
Scum should be 3 or 4 up!!
Arteta has been there 2 fucking weeks and it's absolutely crystal clear that he's fundamentally changed how they are playing. I can see a combative midfield (that has been dog shit for ages) that can take a ball on the turn and pass. A compact defence that has been chucking the ball into their own net for three or four seasons. There are clear patterns of play, using both wings with FB's (going out to in) and AM's (going in to out) interchaging with third man runs from midfield. I've not seen such a team performance by us, one that looks coached.
Our dominant performance over relegation-threatened Burnley was still dictated by individual players, not a cohesive team pattern. Our 2nd half against Norwich whilst good again was by individual players playing well.

He's also got the front players working hard which will ultimately help a shacky defence.
Both Lampard and Ole inexperienced yet completely schooled Jose.
If Arteta play Jose next week he will tactically embarrass him I'm afraid.
Jose is a super established manager who is set in his ways, where the game has moved on.
Arteta is a new manager who's been coaching on the pulse under a world class modern manager.
Arteta's fresh energy, enthusiasm and vibrant outlook on the game gives him an edge.
Jose has to work to emerge from his old model/framework and evolve into the Zeitgeist
Fuck no. I want a modern day thinking manager
I mean all that's changed is Arteta putting in a DM in Torreira. Who in himself is a little terrier. Just a shame we haven't had a coach brave enough to do something similar with Skipp.
Hes got them running around and working hard. That's more on the players than the manager though. When even Poch, who made alot of our players what they are today, couldn't get the players to run around for him, Mourinho isn't going to be able to.
Again, both different managers. If Levy wanted to see us play good football, he probably could have hired Ryan Mason as manager and saved himself a few bob.

Or they just have better gameplan.
Not the only thing. They have clear patterns in their movement.
