      As for the “well he sat next to Pep so he must have learnt from him” type of comments, how many highly rated assistants of top,top managers have tried to be a number 1 and fallen flat on their face? So many of Ferguson’s number 2s were supposedly destined for greatness but were rubbish managers. McClaren, Queroz, Phelan, Meulensteen. Paul Clement was massively rated as a number 2 and got a big job but failed.

        also, being a number 2 in charge is a completely different role and often different skillsets

          Ed, not denying Arteta was a risk as was Frank albeit he was the right decision at the time,

          Arteta doesn’t currently look like it will work out but all Managers are ex players from somewhere some ex players promoted to Manager like Dalglish and to a lesser extent Vialli work out but most don’t.

          If Arsenal continue to struggle Arteta will be gone any Manager who continues to struggle will ultimately be gone no matter who they are and whether they played for their Clubs previously or not.

          I think Arteta has probably got until Christmas.

              No I agree Nine. He’ll be gone very soon unless he starts to show some kind of improvement.

              I’m not for a minute saying it’ll definitely not work out. The people who appointed him may get extremely lucky and see the gamble pay off. I just think where Arsenal were as a club they took a completely unnecessary risk which looks like it will be costly for them in the long term.

                  Reciprocated by United brilliant goal by Greenwood from a brilliant ball from Pogba.

                        I only caught the last goal. The fans really add so much alright. Then Utd surging forward, had a bit more due to the fans roaring, 100%.

                            Poor from Ayling but what a finish.

                              Hat trick for Fernandes. Big win for United who look like title contenders even without Sancho and Varane.

                                  Is that 4 assists from Pogba? He’s been very very good today.

                                    Pogba looked to be getting into football, last season. Im not totally shocked to see him giving it a go this time. Just goes to show the absolute piss the lad was taking for YEARS.

                                    As I said in the other thread by mistake, this is now starting to be a humiliation for Leeds. Not going to take too much away from Utd but this is ma kinda pathetic effort from Leeds (since I’ve turned it on anyway).

                                    In other news, Im glad that I managed to squeeze Fernandez into my FPL team just before the deadline 😛

                                      Did that female commentator just say this is the next step in Sanchos “sexual career”? hahah i swear it sounded like that to me.

                                        5-1 probably flatters Leeds it could have easily been more and as good as United have been Leeds have been poor defensively.

                                          Missed all this being out and about and just back to see United leading 5-1 which suggests to me a nuance of Ferguson’s United for the first time in years. Incredible with Fernandes.

                                            Good win for Utd. I think they will be there or thereabouts this season. The only issue is whether they have the depth after a few key injuries..who knows.?

                                            Does anybody know why yet again we have moved away from the traditional opening fixtures. It was always first match previous years champions at home followed by midweek away and following weekend away. Or is it just a fix of the fixture list for TV?
