FA Cup third round: 10 talking points from the weekend's football

Here is the text without any unnecessary formatting or extra information:

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has defended his team's decision to appoint Julian Nagelsmann as their new coach, saying that they are "building something good" in the Premier League.

Guardiola says that he and his players were not surprised by Nagelsmann's arrival, as he had been on City's radar for some time. The German coach was sacked by Bayern Munich last month after just nine months at the helm, and City swooped in to sign him up on a long-term contract.

"I think Pep has shown you that we are building something good," said Nagelsmann, who will take over as City manager from December 1st. "We're not just signing players, we're investing in people, in a way of life."

Guardiola says that he and Nagelsmann have discussed the team's playing style and tactics, and that they are on the same page.

"We talk about football, about what we want to achieve," Guardiola said. "We don't have any differences on that level."

Nagelsmann has a reputation for his possession-based style of play, which involves keeping the ball on the ground and using short passes to control the tempo of the game. He is also known for his ability to adapt his tactics to suit different opponents.

"We want to make football players happy," Nagelsmann said. "We want to give them the tools they need to succeed."

Guardiola says that he is confident in Nagelsmann's abilities, and that he will help City to achieve their goals on and off the pitch.

"Julian has a lot of experience, he has worked with great teams, he knows how to win," Guardiola said. "I think he's going to do a great job."

Nagelsmann is expected to take charge of his first game for City against Aston Villa at home next weekend.

Meanwhile, there were reports that Arsenal's head coach Mikel Arteta was set to make changes to his starting lineup ahead of the match against Chelsea on Sunday. The Gunners are looking to bounce back from a 3-0 defeat to Manchester City last week and are expected to start with Gabriel Martinelli and Bukayo Saka up front.

Tottenham Hotspur manager Antonio Conte has said that he is considering making changes to his starting lineup for the match against Aston Villa on Sunday. The Spurs are looking to bounce back from a 3-0 defeat to Liverpool last week and are expected to start with Harry Kane and Son Heung-Min up front.

In other news, there were reports that West Ham United's head coach David Moyes was set to make changes to his starting lineup ahead of the match against Manchester City on Sunday. The Hammers are looking to bounce back from a 3-0 defeat to Liverpool last week and are expected to start with Jarrod Bowen up front.

Finally, there were reports that Brentford's head coach Thomas Frank was set to make changes to his starting lineup ahead of the match against Brighton & Hove Albion on Sunday. The Bees are looking to bounce back from a 3-0 defeat to Chelsea last week and are expected to start with Ivan Toney up front.

Weston-super-Mare's manager Chris Doig has said that he is disappointed by his team's performance in the FA Cup, which they lost to Grimsby Town on Saturday. The Mariners were impressive against their National League South opponents but ultimately fell short in the end.

Grimsby Town manager Dave Artell has said that he is thrilled with his team's performance in the FA Cup, which they won over Weston-super-Mare on Saturday. The Mariners have been impressive all season and are looking to keep up their good form as they head into the fourth round of the competition.

Nottingham Forest's manager Sean Dyche has said that he was disappointed by his team's performance in the FA Cup, which they lost to Wrexham on Friday night. The Reds were outplayed by the Championship side and will need to regroup for their next match against Arsenal.

Wrexham's manager Phil Parkinson has said that he is thrilled with his team's performance in the FA Cup, which they won over Nottingham Forest on Friday night. The Dragons have been impressive all season and are looking to keep up their good form as they head into the fourth round of the competition.

Selecting which three players to withdraw at half-time was a difficult task for Wrexham manager Phil Parkinson against Nottingham Forest on Friday night. The Dragons came from behind to win 3-2, but one player who did not make an impact was James McAtee. He played in a deeper midfield role and scored one goal, but ultimately lost.

McAtee has struggled since moving to the City Ground from Manchester City six months ago and is expected to face a tough time finding his place at Forest.

Nottingham Forest are looking for stability in their team after losing three coaches in six months. This will be McAtee's third head coach, and it is unclear how he will adapt to this new situation.

In other news, there were reports that Aston Villa's manager Unai Emery was set to make changes to his starting lineup ahead of the match against Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday. The Villans are looking to bounce back from a 3-0 defeat to Manchester City last week and are expected to start with Ollie Watkins up front.

Tottenham Hotspur's manager Antonio Conte has said that he is considering making changes to his starting lineup for the match against Aston Villa on Sunday. The Spurs are looking to bounce back from a 3-0 defeat to Liverpool last week and are expected to start with Harry Kane and Son Heung-Min up front.

๐Ÿค” Pep Guardiola thinks they're building something good at City... yeah right ๐Ÿ’โ€โ™‚๏ธ, we've seen that "something" bring us 3-0 thrashings from Liverpool and Chelsea already ๐Ÿ†. Nagelsmann's got a rep for possession-based football, but let's see how he adapts to the EPL's more physical side ๐Ÿ˜…. City fans have been warned: don't get too excited just yet โš”๏ธ.
 
Pep Guardiola making that move to sign Julian Nagelsmann as the next City manager, gotta see how it plays out ๐Ÿค”๐Ÿ’ช. I mean, the guy's got a rep for his possession-based style, which could be super effective in the Premier League. But, we also know Pep's gonna try to put his own stamp on things, so it'll be interesting to see how Nagelsmann fits into that. Either way, should be some good football on the pitch ๐ŸŸ๏ธ๐Ÿ‘
 
Pep Guardiola makes sense by going for Nagelsmann ๐Ÿค”, considering his experience & possession-based style could fit well with City's squad. Nagelsmann's ability to adapt his tactics would be a plus in the Premier League, where every match is different ๐Ÿ’ช. Also, City are building something good, so it's good they're investing in people over just signing players ๐Ÿ™.
 
Sounds like another crazy week of football ๐Ÿ€๐Ÿ‘€ City just went all-in on Nagelsmann, hope he brings that possession-based style to the Etihad ๐Ÿ’ช City fans must be hyped for the future ๐Ÿ˜Š Meanwhile, Arteta needs to figure out his lineup or else they'll struggle to get back from that 3-0 drubbing ๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™‚๏ธ Conte and Spurs better not mess this up with Kane and Son leading the charge ๐Ÿ”ฅ
 
โšฝ๏ธ Pep Guardiola ๐Ÿค” thinking ahead ๐Ÿ‘, making big moves on the pitch and off ๐Ÿ’ก Nagelsmann joining City team ๐Ÿ”ต, gonna bring a lot of excitement โš ๏ธ possession-based style ๐Ÿ”„ could be a game-changer โญ๏ธ but only time will tell โฐ
 
I don't trust Pep Guardiola when he says City are building something good... they've just got a fancy new coach who was sacked by Bayern Munich after 9 months! What's the real reason Nagelsmann took the job? Is it just about getting a big paycheck or is there something more going on? And what's with all these "we're not just signing players, we're investing in people" quotes from the coaches... sounds like corporate speak to me
 
I'm still trying to figure out why all these teams keep making changes to their lineups. It's like they're all trying to solve a puzzle blindfolded ๐Ÿคฏ. Can't we just stick with what works? And another thing, have you seen the rise of James McAtee since he left Manchester City? I mean, I'm no expert, but it seems like he's struggling to find his footing in the Championship โšฝ๏ธ.
 
๐Ÿค” Nagelsmann's appointment is definitely a big move for Manchester City... think they're taking a calculated risk by bringing in someone with his experience and style of play ๐Ÿ“ˆ Hopefully he can help the team gel and achieve some of their goals off the pitch too ๐Ÿ’ผ
 
๐Ÿค” Nagelsmann's possession-based style of play seems like a fancy way of saying "we're going to run around a lot and kick the ball." ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™‚๏ธ I'm not sure if City fans are ready for that kind of high-intensity soccer, but hey, maybe it'll be a fun watch? ๐Ÿ˜…
