Gabriel Mangalas played an important role in Arsenal’s match against Manchester United; he was able to defend the match well and also stop Manchester United’s new striker Rasmus Hojlund because he is very good, and Ten Hag brought him to cause problems for Arsenal defenders so that Man United could take advantage and win the match.

He also played his role perfectly by making sure Garnacho was in an offside position; otherwise, the goal could have counted.

With all these, I think Arsenal will miss him in these matches against Everton, Tottenham, and their first Champions League match if he is confirmed injured due to the horror tackle in yesterday’s match.

Harry Kane is a top man and he will perform under pressure and there's no need to get him pressured he will perform for Bayern Munich and score goals for the Bundesliga Champions.
Southgate has nothing to pressure Harry Kane, He should rather consider his tactics for his daily use of Harry Maguire even even when in a deformed shape.

Yesterday, he fumbled big time again Ukraine National Team. AC Milan's defender Fikayo Tomori does better when it comes to defending but always gets axed when it comes to National Team Football. Southgate will never win anything with Harry Maguire at the defense.

Harry Kane has performed very well in the matches that Bayern Munich has played in and we have seen Harry Kane score goals in almost every match. Harry is a professional footballer so pressure or club change is not an issue for him. Since he has played well with Tottenham, it is only natural that he will play well with Bayern Munich.  

The way Harry Kane has been performing for Bayern Munich so far suggests that Bayern Munich will do well in this season's Champions League.  
Harry Kane must play defensively because if the Bayern Munich star gets injured, all Bayern Munich dreams will end. Harry Kane fans are waiting to see Harry Kane's great performance in the Champions League matches.

Everton at home has been a problem for Arsenal in previous seasons because they contributed to last season’s failure to win the Premier League, even though we know that they lacked squad depth last season. Nevertheless, with Everton’s current performance, I don’t think they can stop Arsenal from going home with three points, even if Arsenal play a three-man defense.

Arsenal is not facing any defensive injuries; Tomiyasu and Zinchanko are already back in form. The only player injured in Arsenal's defensive line is Julian Timber, and Arsenal succeeded last season without him. Therefore,  even without Gebriel, Arsenal can win these two matches because they have defenders that can still be relied on.

I don't think Harry Kane has ever been put under pressure by England national team manager Gareth Southgate to score goals for the Three Lions and as much as I know Southgate, he wouldn't even want to put his captain under any form of pressure. Harry Kane is one the best strikers in modern day football and even when he doesn't score goals which is the primary work of a striker, he does help his team in playing vital roles for other players to score.
 Since Robert Lewandowski left Bayern Munich the club hasn't gotten a good replacement until the arrival of Harry Kane in the summer so as expected, the fans and management of the club would expect the England international to deliver the kind of performances that their former striker was known for. They have a crucial UEFA Champions League game against Manchester United in less than 10 days from now and I expect Harry Kane to deliver a scintillating performance against United when they meet later this month.

Arsenal's coach Arteta was already starting games without him this season, so he will be able to adjust for the time being hopefully the injury is not going to be a long one. Kiwior will most likely be the one to start against Everton. Everton have had a bad start to the season, they may want to change it when they play against Arsenal.

Arteta's biggest hopes is that he will not have more players injured in this international duty.

Nahh I think he definitely would be missed, Arsenal do have a varieties of players that could slot in that defense for now but the Aerial ability of Gabriel cannot be matched in this current Arsenal squad. He could have easily been replaced if at all Timber is available but he is not so what I think Arteta would like go for his bringing in Tomiyasu and then moving Zinchenko  to the right back position and White pairing with Saliba as the two center back. This could work only if it is against weaker teams with less aggressive attackers but if the attackers are aggressive then the calmness of both white and Saliba will be a problem for Arsenal.


In the last five encounters between the clubs Brighton have had a better of United wining three of those to United’s two, they were the only club that actually did a double over united last season. They have also started the season excellently again and at the moment could be bookmakers favourite to win the tie. But don’t get carried away against United because they have been so strong at home in the competition that I would back them to win any game at home. To be certain since the Arrival of Ten Hag only Brighton has actually won at old Trafford and it was the first game in the Premier League for Ten Hag, this shows how the manager has turned old Trafford to a fortress that can’t be defeated.

I don't think that's completely true in this case, we have players who do very well in their clubs and they're regular starters but when they're invited to represent their countries they become a problem for the fans or supporters to start asking why is this happening? You hear questions like why is he playing like a novice or is he scared or something?
Things like this happen in different ways, as for Maguire he's just doing well in the national side and I strongly believe if he make a move to any club (I'd prefer an England club) he'd do perfectly well.
But the thing is Maguire doesn't want to leave Manchester United and sometimes I feel he's kind of seeing it as a shame, well he just know when to quit the club.

They had to think about density and backup for this season as this season they are not only in PL but also in CL. It is very hard for clubs to manage their squad with injuries and all when they have both CL and PL around. We either way needed some backups as centre back. We still might need one but I think as for now it is ok with what we have.

I feel that there should be rotation from time to time so that everyone gets chance and develop themselves. I like the fact that Arteta is giving some chances so I think he is managing it very well so far. I think in next game instead of playing Partey as right back and White as center it will be Kiwior and Saliba at center and White as right back.

Everton are always tricky opponents to play against. With their sporadic form you never know how well they will perform especially when playing against one of the top teams like Arsenal.

The three man defense is deployed by Arsenal for majority of their games with Zinchenko stepping into the middle when they have the ball and stepping back when they lose possession. This formation is being used by many of the top managers today as they look for ways to get one up over their opponent in the other technical area.

It's not appropriate to blame just one player when others are not playing as expected. We have to look at this as a whole and openly judge the performance of players. Just as De Gea conceded a lot when he was here, their defense is fragile and even more annoying when the same players make the same mistakes in defense.
Actually, many clubs have experienced this MU-like, and I rarely hear a goalkeeper being a scapegoat. Except for the time Liverpool experienced in the Champions League match. It was indeed seen that their goalkeeper made a fatal mistake so that Real Madrid beat them at that time.

Let me pretend to agree with what you claim about Brighton beating Man U throughout last week since I couldn't remember. What I will not agree with you is using what happened last season as the sole yardstick to judge what will happen this season, not to mention of an immediate one on Saturday this time that Erik ten Hag and his team are under much scrutiny. If at all I don't have any real trust for Man U, I still believe that it's not that bad for the team. Last season might have been awkward when met Brighton but the situation is different now, and they will do all it takes to win the next match after the ugly incidents that happened this season as fresh as it is. If at all I bet on this match, I will give Man U a straight winning and will not ever blink if I lose the bet.

It's not a serious problem for arsenal. I have seen some perfect candidates that can fill his position. It's tomiyasu or saliba. These guys were also able playing as centre back to replace him.
Arsenal shall not feel frustrated after seeing he got injured. Injury was something that could not be avoided. It's a common thing in the football. As long as arsenal will still have some guys who have ability to replace him and the club shall not feel worry about that.

Im sure that if arsenal will come back stronger. I have heard that if arteta will not be using havertz in the upcoming match.

Even though Man United is having a bad performance at the moment and they have suffered a lot of goals so far but I think it would be unfair to blame Onana for causing all of that because no matter how good a goalkeeper is, if the defense line performs poorly, then it will be difficult for goalkeeper to get a clean sheet. A defeat will always be a shared responsibility.

Tottenham worries so far turned out to be completely unfounded, Tottenham had hampered Kane transfer process to Bayern Munich because they were afraid that their front line would be dull due to Kane departure. However, none of this has been proven, now that Kane has officially left for Bayern Munich, Tottenham performance is getting better, and goal productivity has not decreased. Tottenham have scored 11 goals in the four matches they have played, this number is considered very good compared to the number of goals scored by Liverpool and Arsenal.
In my opinion, Tottenham separation from Kane is mutually beneficial, Kane has the opportunity to win trophies with Bayern Munich. Meanwhile, apart from receiving a certain amount of money, Tottenham did not have any problems with the sharpness of their front line after Kane left.

Now this will be a concern for Arsenal because Gabriel is one of the important players for them and with his injury this player makes Arsenal definitely difficult.

Some horror tackles on the player on his debut in Brazil's match against Bolivia means he might have to rest. Although I still haven't found any news about Gabriel's current condition but the possibility of him resting for a few weeks is still possible and this could be a problem for Arsenal who are ready with some matches and a busy schedule.

Regardless of how Harry Kane performs in the England national team, I think his services will still be needed so there is no need to worry. So, considering that there will be a big match in the UCL between Manchester United and Bayern Munich, this is a big match that will be quite emotionally draining, especially for United fans who are currently not very happy with the Red Devils' performance in the last few matches. UCL competition is much tougher and there is no time for Manchester United to play around with problems off the field. Like it or not, they will face big challenges, if they are still busy with player problems then Manchester United can already see the results on paper to raise the white flag.

The three man defence woukd easily favour them against Everton because Everton are not performing very well currently and would not be a problem for Arsenal to easily beat them but their problem cluld start when they face tougher opponents  like PSV and Tottenham that have good wingers that would trouble their three man defence.
 those two matches would be a big test for Arteta now he's currently facing an injury crisis from his defence line and I'll be suprised to see him win against PSV and Tottenham, i have a big doubt though and my prediction is that he'll win Everton, maybe draw PSV and lose against Tottenham because they're currently the toughest amongst those three they'll face next, well Arsenal is a big club and they could suprisenly win all three.

If Arsenal still have dependence only on certain players then of course, this factor will make Arsenal not compete in the title race. Because after all, last season was also the case when several key players suffered injuries so that Arsenal's performance fell and failed to maintain good results. Therefore, Arsenal should learn from mistakes, and must remain strong and compact even though some of the key players cannot be played. Because only in that way, then at least Arsenal will be able to maintain good performance and results in each match.

Tottenham Hotspur is slightly different from the form Harry Kane left it, alot of things have changed in the club. There are numerous things I've noticed about Spurs, I would say Angelos Postecoglou is doing a great job for the club. Talking  about Gareth Southgate pressure on Kane, he's a top attacker and have lengthy experience in the club, he knows how everything played out in his position. Harry Kane is in a new club, we don't just expect him to quickly adapts to the club's game performance besides Bayern Munich is an elite competitive club, in a more direct signal, they have the best players.
