It's true, Man City is out of luck and Pep Guardiola looks less ambitious to win the Community Shield trophy. Arsenal on the other hand, really need this trophy, because this year they have not won any championship trophies. The game that ended in a penalty shoot-out cannot be taken as a measure of quality, I think it would be better to think of it as luck.
Appreciation should be given to Arteta squad, which is able to offset the pressure from Man City. Hopefully they can break Man City dominance next season, with the squad's current mentality.
The both teams played excellently, Arsenal went on bar with Manchester City, they match them on possession and even Chances created, so penalty was actually the best thing to settle it because both teams lack that clinical player up front. Halaand was kept quiet by the impressive Saliba and Timber, this combination will definitely be a joy to watch. Harvetz on the other hand was just not Sharp or is still lacking confident in front of goal and I think Arteta needs Jesus back. Other thing again is Arsenal needs a striker, it doesn’t have to be an expensive one, just go to the lower leagues and get there strikers. This game also showed that City without De Bruyne are just no where near there best, if he get injured then Pep might be in for a big blow.
Immediately the game went to penalties, I was having a great feeling it’s Arsenal’s, not because they were the team on high morale but because City have suffered in the past with taking penalties. Gundogan and Mahrez were the best penalty takers in the team and they are no longer in the club so Pep needs to decide a new penalty taker and it’s definitely should not be De Bruyne. Probably Silva or Foden.
Still, there is some news about Harry Maguire leaving Manchester United because they no longer want this player in their team in the next season, also the personal mistakes of Maguire are another reason for Mashcter United to sell this player, currently, he has been known for his hug personal mistakes while if this happens and Maguire leaves Maschter Unite should find a replacement for this player.
Jean-Clair Todibo is a player we saw his news in the news linked to Macnsjter United recently and if they lose Maguire in this transfer window, Todibo is the alternative option for them.
While if Manchester United hires Todibo, Barcelona will also earn 20 percent of this contract with is a good profit for Barcelona from this deal.
Personal I feel Maguire needs to leave to another team. No matter how hard you want to fight for your place you need support from the team and the Fans. Yesterday he did an error that lead to the goal scored by Bilbao, although covered up for it with an assist. But the fans still booed him. West Ham is actually a great club to get your Career back on track and also to reduce the media attention for now. West Ham are genuinely interested in both him and McTominay, with West Ham submitting a bid of 30m for each. I think that’s a fair deal to united. Although McTominay’s bid needs to be close to 40m but it is still a good deal.
