EPL: Manchester United vs Arsenal- 19th November. 12:30 SS1

[Gooner Zig]

Think Valencia would have dealt with him comfortably - quicker and stronger.

Yeah but at least Iwobi can control a fecking football

 

[tap-in]

Jack would have been perfect for this type of game - his ability to thrust foward with dribbles would have created plenty of space for our attack.

Yep, now he's finally fit and we need him, he's not here tbh I'm pleased he's on loan, its the only way to give him a decent run. He's our only player with the creativity to replace Santi in the middle.

 

[tap-in]

Not knee jerk but we should probably be looking at a young LB this summer/jan.

I hope we've been looking for the past year and already have a list.

 

[blaze_of_glory]

He still crying

He's right. They're massively unlucky that he's their manager.

 

[4R5Emaniac]

Our main problem was positional play. You can't pass forward without options. The whole team was nervous anyway.

And Ramsey. I'll get called out as anti Ramsey but I just can't really make **** up that hasn't happened such as him being good. He is atrocious. He is just not Arsenal level.

 

[tap-in]

I dont want to hear anyone say we haven't lost for 30 odd games, that's not going to win us the PL. We need to start winning!

 

[Nyctophobia]

He's right. They're massively unlucky that he's their manager.

*airhorns* woop woop!

On point, Blazey!

 

[Tir Na Nog]

Just thinking what Cazorla and Bellerin would have added to the game. Cazorla helping us control, allowing Özil to push up high. Bellerin far better defensively than Jenko and offering so much going forward too. What a shame.

 

[Gooner Zig]

For a supposed technical team we have too many of our first team who can't control a football under pressure or get themselves out of tight situations

 

[Trilly]

I hope we've been looking for the past year and already have a list.

I think we have.

Been linked to Rodriguez, Guerriro, Tierney and Chilwell and that's all been in the past year.

 

[Sapient Hawk]

Mourinho saying Man U were phenomenal (at least 8 times) but his face tells a whole different story.

In fairness he needs to say just as much to keep what little credibility he has with the rabid United fans who've long since believed he's Sir Alex' second coming. The fact that he can say such bull with a straight face is the real concern

 

[Rimaal]

Mourinho makes light of Arsenal
Because he was quite keen to point it out as his post-match press conference.

In fact, he really dug the boot into Wenger and Arsenal, by suggesting that today’s draw was essentially a 1-1 defeat, such was United’s dominance and clear superiority:

“If you have a bad game, or an equal game against a very good team like Arsenal, you draw it is not a drama or a bad result because it is normal between two teams.

But when De Gea was on holidays, when Cech made two or three very good saves or when you miss two or three very good chances and you are in total control then the concede late, then the feeling is like a defeat.”

“So finally I lost against Arsenal. Finally I lost against Arsenal. Finally I lost against Arsenal.”

It's the main reason we're not as effective anymore. The old teams were more inconsistent but they could get at anyone and rack up a scoreline.

Now we carry a lot of passengers technically. It's also why we struggle against physical teams nowadays...our old teams would have passed rings against the likes of Sp**s.

Yep - the team of Nasri, Hleb and Fabregas would have put a couple past this Yanited team.

If they didn't **** themselves first.

 

[HollandGooner]

I am happy with the draw, but not the way we played, we were far to passive en we were not taking any risks especially around the box we were dull at best.

And yet again we were playing against a Mourinho team, and yet again we were not capable of playing our own football which should be our main task.

The midfield pairing was not good enough we should have played Ramsey with Coquelin to release some pressure when we have the ball, Cazorla is a big big miss atm its a shame that we do not have a single player who can fill in his role.

Ramsey on the left? my god hope we will never see this ever again.

Anyway lets take this draw as 3 points and move on, in the last few years we ended up with a lose instead of a draw, so we might grow up after all.

That's one thing that Sanchez does really well. He can have three on him and a couple of turns later he emerges with the ball. Santi is similar, but after that you're struggling, Özil perhaps. The rest try and pass their way out of trouble and that's OK if the opposition give you space.

Was hoping Xhaka might be such a player.

 

[GoonerJeeves]

For all our complaints...this is the sort of performance that would have ended in a 5-0 years ago. There is a certain defensive solidity with us these days that we have not had for some time.

Coq is pretty good in tight areas - he had an average game today, Jack is the equal of Santi in tight areas yet he's on loan for the season.

Don't we have the option to recall Jack in Jan?
