joining us in the studio,
welcome along, I'm Rebecca Lowe Tim Howard, Robbie Master we
got plenty to get through including Arsenal's big win
against Nottingham Forest a little bit later. We're going
to bring you a few fewer goals at Old Trafford but one very
meaningful one, United against West Ham, Gareth Southgate, the
England manager calls, with days ago into the beginning,
the World Cup in attendance at Old Trafford, to watch amongst
others Robbie. Marcus require Russian wasn't in the last
International Squad. So I don't think he's a million percent
sure that he's going to take my
night is Striker. But certainly,
Russia played well
in this one, they're just coming in front of an out. Of
course, not really getting a good amount of purchase on
the shop but he was bright throughout particular from
the left hand side pounces here is ready to intercept that ball
from Cake Boss and drives inside again, doesn't really
get this one is off balance a little bit but just
the positivity From Russia with was very strong early in the game
more Ashford chances in the first half. Yeah, and again
I mean that's very similar to the goal. Is going to school in
a few seconds and just can't quite find one of the corners.
But again a theme of Actually language. Well, coming off that
outside to try and be a goal threat
and get yourself on the scoresheet. Here
we see, we're just going to show you. There's a yellow card
here from Joe Lucas kamaka. There's one a little later as
a potential second yellow. That was the first yellow card.
He got
towards the end of the first half here and
then this gives you the goal here. Clever little touch
around the corner from Christian Eriksen and he
settles a ball and Spins it in beautifully there. And fair
play to rush for carers. A little slow to the borders and
unders pull doesn't realize rash.
Ashford is may be anticipating that ball and really moving,
look, he's on the Move, gets up early. Thunderous had a really
good work from number 10 here,
Marcus Richard are you just hits it too?
Tough for the goalkeeper stop that 100 goals. Now in
a Manchester United shirt here is that possible? Second yellow?
Should it have been in there for a rapist kamaka?
Your pops up here and he's going back to go for us. He's
six foot five lip,
and Ian Martinez is smaller. He leaned his head and
I think it could possibly be a yellow car. Yeah, I don't think
it's a sending off in terms of a straight red, but that's why
the Manchester United players
were asking for, because he knew he was on the yellow
and I think maybe the referee gets it wrong, but it keeps
them on the pitch. And
substitute
Miguel, Antonio forced a good save there from to hair, which
the second half turned into the David Haye. A show in this
safe. Here is the best of the bunch. Just a movement, his
movement prior to the header.
Nice calm feet. You see it there. Great push his head of
steady. I mean it's a a top-class save to keep his team
in the game.
United were hoping
to double their leave here through substitute Fred.
And
goal is opening just hits the post there, which means
West Ham can pile on more pressure. And foreknowledge
just gets down the side here, Boeing has to score has to
score. He knows it. He's in a great position.
No one really in front of him,
it gives McGuire a chance.
Unfortunately, it stays out for West Ham and just watch this
Declan right steps into the ball.
Sits nicely formed,
but another
Really. It's a from the hey who was in Sensational form one-nil
really tested in that second half Manchester United had hang
on their last five Premier League results.
No defeat, two drawers and three wins are in decent form.
Let's hear now from their manager. Eric turn hard, who
joined our colleagues from Sky Sports pitch side and Old
Trafford.
Congratulations Eric okay okay
what was your sunny? Yeah, I read it. Me
know what was your what was your assessment of
the performance today from your tea?
I think first half
possession we could have done better and
more opportunities. If you had more
initiative from the back
we have moments sure. But we could have done better.
What do you think?
But I think we make a great goal.
It was magnificent,
the pass from Christian.
Erickson. And then the header
I wasn't really a really a hammer and we'll mark is red
hot and it's so great because
it's one. It's played out of the academy
Striker. Make 600 goal is the 85th Anniversary day today
and so we is really representing,
man united, the work of men United also, I want to Value
the work, the good work.
The academy is doing
with this and it's so great that than
just Market transferred tomorrow.
Oh, it's 25th birthday as well.
Give him a happy birthday. Yeah, a great president I would
say. Yeah, I've done should just elaborate on that, it's 85
years to the day
and through that 85 years, Manchester United have been
Fielding one of their own and Academy player in every single
match day Squad. And that being Marcus rash word today, who got
that. God's a really special moment for the club,
what you getting a little anxious
as the game went on,
I think we have tremendous, that that is clear,
and it's, especially the second half. Session was
I think quite poor
football is also thinking came was so many spaces, they left
for us,
then manage the game, keep the ball,
let them run,
they will give
spaces away, and then and then go to go. And now, every moment
we gained direct for gold, we lose ball, then
I call it. You catch a tennis match,
go
from one side to the other side and you cut Under Pressure, but
I have to say
our hours are quite good in it. To manage that
and we have a great keeper.
Eric nice. Ask you about how McGuire
because he's not in the British. Media is took a lot of
criticism. Been so tough for him. How please? The you for
him not to your team but also for him to get a clean sheet
today,
of course, he's sent a half
and in the back for first thing, what you have to do is
your job to protect your goal and if you would
achieve a clean sheet and you have done the job,
really well done together but that is the back for. But
I won't also say
And our philosophy. It's we have to defend with 11
and in the start it was difficult to cut in, but
I think we coming more and more to the point that we dude
really together.
And then the spirit
in the team is great. You can see that
every header, the support each other, the coffee, each other,
they stimulate each other, and also, I think the fans like it
as well. You see, the, the bound, what's coming?
What develop between the team and the fence
Eric Diego dialogue. In the summer, I thought - United
would have to sign a new right back Aaron. One person, I could
not settled in Diego dialogue, been in and out of the team,
but he's defending at the back post today with the headers was
absolutely incredible. Do you feel now like you're
comfortable right back and that you don't need to add to that
position because of the form of Dello.
I'm really happy with the development of Diego
is really well done, and especially what you mentioned,
you played by yourself. That's over, you really be critical.
Because, you know how to play that,
but I think he's defending positions
are growing from game to game
is timing. Also in Jewels are better from game to game
and in possession,
I think he's really
good. He has the breath to go up and down, so
the developments really good. But I have to mention, I think
a clip has been United need to good food bags
because we have a lot of change the cover. I just did,
the question is its twice
in In the week that you had to bring on Casimir or Max amini
and Fred to close off meet feel. Did you think did you
think when you put those three players on that if the West Ham
score there was a bit of a risk that you'd have no attacking
players on the pitch. All you
just intent on saying that we needed to just close it out one
nil because obviously it's twice. You've done that in
the last week. Yeah. But
to finalize a game and she also
the manager came, you see
there will be played Thursday, they rest the whole team.
There may be
more power in the end and then too. Bring
power from the bends
in the Midfield to control the game.
And then you get on the counter attacks, our space only, we
didn't use that. Well, of course, but
not, of course, but the moment for threat was there,
they had around the post
and I think therefore you can do that really well. And
I think also Scott
when you then 11 equalizer, okay, but I think still we have
the creativity
and also we could have still one sip to go.
You said
All right, Dan Hogg. Really? Getting more comfortable?
I think. Now, these days with a British media, he's giving us
more information. Robbie, what did you pick out from that?
Well, I thought I kind of agreed when he said that
the possession wasn't as good as what you might have expected.
I think that's something that we're seeing now, in terms of
an identity for Man United under Eric turned hog, I think
it is, it's Max to me of
possession with expansion control fast attacks, which
we've seen in recent games, not quite so much today, but he was
disappointed with that. And I think that's probably
right. I thought the From coronavirus interesting about
Midfield change.
I just look back at Thursday starting lineup and quite a few
of those players started on Thursday. It wasn't a big
rotation Casimir, I think started Bruno Fernandez I think
started. So maybe Thursday to Sunday. They want maybe one of
the reasons why they weren't quite as sharp with
their football as we might expect.
Yeah, I mean listen to to hug their, you confirmed a hunch
that I had going to Old Trafford and going behind. The
goal was miserable. It's always been miserable because you just
never, they take control the game, you never get. Get
chances.
And this this game they were hanging on
for dear life at the end of the game.
And so when I listened to him talk and he says,
when other teams have to go forward, looking for a goal,
they leave spaces, we didn't exploit those spaces. In fact,
every time United, what get it? They'd go for goal, right? And
he said, he said, there are turned into a tennis match and
that's what he wants to see from his team
when they're up uses. Space, wisely, control tempo of
the game. If the goal comes great, but control, you don't need to
be under pressure. So that's the next Evolution for this
team, like it chaps. Let's move on, shall we? To the other game
today in North London for a tube.
And of 90 highlights
presented by Wells, Fargo. And it was a 5-nil hammering, Robbie,
Arsenal Forest. Yeah, it was, and
there's a lot of energy for Marshall to start this game.
And we pick this up early here against the fifth minute. The
first call comes in and Gabrielle Martinelli's been
a story this season for sure. And good work here, overlapping
fall back there to create a little bit of space for
the cross and Martinelli totally bit like fresh food, from left
side, mix that run in field. It's in here. Track him from
the inside here
and he's the only real player in the box and there's six.
Fenders around there from not in a Forester, don't really go
and attack the ball. He does. He's on the Move, difficult to
defend afford when he's coming in, from a deeper position,
with a little bit of paste, Burnham in schools.
Yeah, dedicating it to problem areas, while they are still
play it on Loan in Italy, who was stabbed at a shopping mall
only last week. But released from hospital today this isn't
good to see Sackler going off injured Rob now, it's not
yeah. Maybe of course, a bit worried about the next game and
maybe we'll cut as well, but we did see the substitution which
Nelson was a playlist been around.
Asking a long time. We haven't really seen too much of him with
the different reasons, but I think he's bright as sharp
and it was so in this game has gone, I forgot
he's in good spot here.
There's well here to come inside for the first shot and
then he's following up and really slams. That one in
the powerful side for this is something we saw a lot. This
party. The Shocker, It's a combination.
It's a pattern, is a
little lane. If you like that, he gets into jacket a lot,
a lot with his scoring or assisting.
So I really enjoyed that part about the build-up for Arsenal
for this goal. Oh, and again, reach Nelson their second time,
slams it in on a date Hudson. Yeah, and this is
the second goal. Here
comes on, have a point to prove.
You just watch how
classy he is, gets in the right position. This was really good
football here. I mean, Absolute Total Football from Arsenal and
again, terrible defending from
Nottingham Forest,
they have enough numbers back.
Lisa Nelson is
hungry and wants to score and he gets his brace.
Then he gets involved again. You see The Possession. This
was a story of the day it gets out here. He's aggressive. He
has two goals already. He's
looking to create something else but farce on the back
foot,
lays it on a platter
for part. A and this is a beautiful shot, just watch this.
It curls around two defenders in the goalkeeper,
it's easy, it's easy day for Arsenal
and gets worse for Forest.
Watch here, these feet this feet from voter guards, tight,
there's no space.
Just shift it a little bit out of his Feet
thrashes. It passed in Henderson. Gives him no chance
at all five mil.
It's our comprehensive is also returned to the top of
the table. Those are two percent to ninety highlight sponsored by
the Wells Fargo. Active cash cart, that's real life, ready?
That's a little love them
and make our Texas record through 12 Premier League
matches in his full seasons and twenty twenty. Twenty one 13.0
and 15th position of 12 games. The Following season. Last
year, they were fifth with 20 points. And look at this top
off
the table with Take 1.12 games gone and taken both manager
Steve Cooper but first here is Miguel arteta.
McHale first of all,
congratulations, I'm sure inside. You must be beaming
with pride after that I am. I'm really happy. I know how
difficult it is
to play every three days. We had a long week with a thorough
Tremblant and after that defeat to come here against a team
that beat Liverpool, it was a tricky afternoon, but I think
we started really well. Again,
we were in control of the game and
really happy to be back at the top again,
you said on Thursday, we have to reset. We have to be much
better. How much better will you today? I think individually
were much better and That happens. I think collectively.
It's,
he has a huge impact and we were right from the off
a different speed, different purpose. And,
and it's not to protect the playwright in this place.
Deserves a lot of credit and I'm happy that lived on it
again today. Now, you didn't say Mom outside particularly
happy throughout a lot of the first half. Did you feel? You
should have been more comfortable
at the break? Yeah, I think so. I think we have the chances, we
have the control and we need another goal to
have a little bit
and easier afternoon, but it didn't happen.
Open and these teams are so dangerous in the counter on set
pieces and anything can happen. But again, I think we started.
The second have really well really composed really
going for it, and
that made a difference in the game,
in a day, that's
full of pluses for you.
How about Reese Nelson? Where did that come from
now? Delighted frame me fully deserves that
personally for how he is the way he's maturing,
how will he is trying in every single day and he's just
screaming for opportunities. You had one today and he
grabbed it with both hands.
Well, Steve you were in it, you stayed in it until halftime.
What happened after that?
well, there's the situation we're in the the bare minimum
that we need in every game is to
just a fight, you know, regardless of
tactics and anything else and I just thought we were
not strong enough in the jewels not competitive enough
didn't run enough
asking obviously a really good team and top the league for
a reason,
but to give them the the freedom to play and the
You know, like I said, the lack of fight in the jewels was
we've only got ourselves to blame. I mean,
okay, we got off to a poor start and and go one, no down,
which was against the game plan. And I, we let them get
the cross in
and we were okay, then for the rest of the first half, it was
the how we thought the game would look. And we were
starting to get a little bit of
threatened in the game. Couple of good set pieces and
I know some efforts on goal but then you know, the start of
the second half is just
just something you cannot In any game of football,
especially
in this league. And like I said, it came down to
the non-negotiables of wanting to run wanting to fight and not
get beat. And,
you know, the game was took away
from us quickly and second half because of that
side of the table. Then Arsenal lead Manchester City by that
two point gap. Again, both afraid, 12 games Tottenham in
third three points behind Manchester City. Newcastle are
into the top four where they were before this weekend.
They've held on to that spot with Manchester United behind
them are a
point behind Them. Chelsea down to sick, then it's full of
nicely in seventh brighten up to eight, Liverpool being
pushed down to ninth and Palace are cracking
as things. Stand the top 10, bottom half is Branford,
Everton Westheimer, Bournemouth and little cluster, followed by
leads Veterans of Hampton are all level on 12 points
leads, the only team in that bottom half of a game in hand,
which will be music to Jesse. Marshes is the bottom three
lesser fullback in in 11th position? Sorry, in the 18th
position. 11 points, wolves are, second bottom. Still, no
manager, two points from safety and Forest under
Steve Cooper on.
Fortunately, three points from safety.
Rock bottom of the Premier League.
That was your Premier League update.
