I would agree, maybe our players are tired? We cover lots of ground but today completely ran out of steam midway. United hit on the pedal at the right moment.
What I don’t understand with many of our games this season is the changes that happen every match.
We beat Chelsea with a certain set up with certain players, yet we come into this game with different players in a different system.
It makes no sense.
I loved wenger
But my God i will defend Emery cuz hes one of us.. And deserves a chance
I think they can be expected to have success but that doesn't take away from issues that needed addressing long term. Defence and midfield. Torreira And Xhaka is a very good partnership. Sokratis is the player we've long since needed. Even when he got injured he practically ripped off Lingards t shirt. Someone dirty and clever. But after that you've still the general weakness. Who partners him? Who plays out wide? Have we to many similar players? Long term left back. The basis of a good team was left by Wenger. It needs tinkered with and that's what we are slowly doing.Yup, now the squad is **** and nobody could be expected to have any success with them.
3rd goal killed us. Gave up after that. Psychologically you need to keep up as well, not just physically.I would agree, maybe our players are tired? We cover lots of ground but today completely ran out of steam midway. United hit on the pedal at the right moment.
The last 2 years were embarrassing. You could think Wenger was past his prime and had to go but a part of the fanbase was just hysterically shameful.Wenger wasn't one of you, or was he? All the hate he got only for the last two seasons I watched arsenal, I felt bad for him in all honesty.
I can stomach this loss as long as we get CL football and they miss out.

That was proven when he had prime Cazorla, Koscielny, Mertesacker, Monreal, Cazorla, Özil and Alexis yet lost the league to Leicester
In 1997 the outlook was very different. There was no mega money the CL hadn't the appeal it currently has or the money. Our team didnt require surgery either at a huge outlay. 15m was also the record transfer fee which today wouldnt be enough to buy Dennis Suarez. Completely different environments. But sure feel free to compare.
Wenger had the right idea in offering him to West Brom. Can't understand why Tony Pulis didn't want him

I'm not comparing their starts, you misunderstand me. I was pointing out the fact that Wenger got all the time in the world post 2005 to rebuild the squad multiple times because he had won 3 league titles.
What has Emery done for us to deserve the benefit of getting years to build a team?
Actually played 2 passes in that short period that reminded me that nobody else in either team could. Forget the whole workrate debate, the guy's passing will always be WC.He also played some nice passes and wasn't even that bad. Everyone else was piss.
