Man of the Match: Manchester United (H)

Martinelli improved a lot from last week but Rice all day for me even before the goal. Seemed to win everything that came near him.

 

[DJ_Markstar]

Martinelli was a livewire second half, went for him but could've gone with Rice as well.

 

[Thrice]

Went with Rice. Martinelli is electric, but Rice is such a tidy player, dominated the midfield, and he obviously scored the big goal.

 

[BenTal]

I think Ødegaard was the only one in the office side that cared and wanted to win. He didn't get any support from Saka and White.

Our worst defensive player was White without any doubt. He was litarally walking with Rashford in their goal.

In the offensive side, Saka was the worst, even worse than Havretz, which by the way was terrible. Gabi also showed that he can only play well when he has support.

Embarrassing team performance, but we managed to win Manchester United in the Manchester United way. So fvck them all.

Between rice and martinelli for me. Martinelli wants great in the first half but had a weaker 2nd.

So went with the match winner!

 

[UkrArsenal]

Rice.
But Marti is dynamo machine.

Martinelli MOTM

Rice was also excellent, even without the goal. Was a very good showing of him at a lone 6 and he’s worked really hard to iron out the bits of his game I was worried about.

Zinchenko and the 2 cbs also had good games.

Ødegaard and Saka weren’t at it.

Ben White and Havertz were diabolical.

Best players Rice, Martinelli and Ødegaard.

Worst players Havertz, Zinchenko and Saka.

Tough decision. Have to go with Rice since he did his job and scored the winner. He was a physical beast in the middle, even though he wasn’t very creative today. Zinchenko and Martinelli second.

 

[Rex Stone]

Got to be Rice. Would say White and Saliba ran him close but he carried our midfield at times today.

White was awful

It’s rare to see him have a bad game so I’m not sure how to even feel about it…

Got sold out on the goal by Kai but he totally clamped down Rashford in the second half.

Nah he kept standing off him. Rashford is only any good when he has space to build up a head of steam. So the last thing you should do when defending him is back off and give him that space. And he kept doing it, again and again and again.

And he was poor going forwards, apart from that 1 cross that Saka should have put away.

Don’t know why Rice is getting all the votes, he was OK I thought. Everybody underperformed so you’re picking the best from a bad punch, I went with Martinelli.

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

Rice again imo he was incredible even before his goal. Special mention to Gabriel too Ødegaard also was good

It was between him or marti... hope havertz doesnt get shoe horned in next game. Let him watch a few from the bench... he isnt ready at minute 1.

 

[Dokaka]

I swear I get whiplash coming on here when I've just read and seen opinions outside this place. General sentiment seems to be you dominated Man Utd for the most part and played quite well, yet on here tons of people say it was a somewhat poor performance etc. Crazy stuff.

You won this fixture last season 3-2 from a 91st minute Nketiah winner. Why are we pretending this is an easy fixture or something? I don't get it.
