Chris Wilder though 5 subs would only benefit the big teams while he was losing to a team with only 2 subs. I hope no body would listen to his silly opinion now.

The Arsenal team just looks so average now dosen't it?

Leno- Decent on one on ones and reaction saves but not close to top 5 keeper in league imo.

Bellerin- Was fantastic when breaking through but think the ACL injury he got 18 months back finished him off as top level player.

Gabriel- Needs time, looked o.k from what I've seen.

Holding- Average. Better in back 3.

Tierney- Someone I do rate but should be playing at LB far more. Would've been fantastic in any Wenger team imo.

Xhaka- Mug.

Ceballos- I must see him at wrong times as seems he has a good reputation but seems underwhelming when I watch and dosen't impact game enough in final third.

Willian- Had good games for Chelsea last season but he went from automatic starter to just squad player over last 18 month as Chelsea signed younger options like Pulisic.

Willock- Not a generational talent like say Foden or even Wilshere could've been.

Pepe- 70m......

Auba- Was great for them in the run in so could understand keeping him at all costs but looks like that was his last peak form.

People were saying Spurs team was average yesterday but it's way stronger 11 than what Arsenal put out these days.
:lol:

They are just a cup team. Too erratic in the league.

Come on now. The argument was made that clubs such as Man City would be able to bring on a ridiculous amount of talent on towards the end of a game which would obviously be an advantage against the lower teams. There has been how many votes on this already? Both gone in the favour of 3 subs, probably will change soon though. We lost because we are crap, another 2 subs would not have helped us.

Surely Leeds can’t keep up this intensity for a whole season, great to watch though

Leeds much the better team Arsenal practically parking the bus. Every game I’ve watched them in this season they’ve played this wank defensive shite. Will probably sneak this 1-0.

Im probably not going to watch our game versus Leeds. We might win but Im sure we will spend most of the game within our half. They have so much energy and are not afraid to attack. Watching the game will just infuriate me.

Makes me sick to see how well coached this Leeds team is going forward in comparison to our absolute tumescent shite.

I can already see the game now. Them first to every single ball and looking like 2011 Barca. Will be identical to those Bilbao games we lost when Bielsa was there.

I keep hearing how arsenal are now drilled well in defence but Leeds have spoilt quite a few opportunities to take the lead

Arsenal seem to be hoping Leeds will burn themselves out in second half.

They are a very tough team to play if they go a goal up.

Another chance that they need to at least hit the target
They aren't testing Leno

Why can't we play like Leeds? Ball control, finding each other, positioning all very very good.

Feels like everyone has forgotten to lean over the ball this weekend. So many shots just blazed over the bar.

Leeds serves as big evidence this season that United should be doing better with the players they have and that the coaching staff is far from being good enough.

Leeds are an exceptionally well coached side. They're pretty effortlessly bossing Arsenal here and with better finishing they'd be a couple of goals up already.

They remind me of Pochettino's Spurs before they went stale where every player is just at it 100% and hyper aggressive.

Can we just hire Biesla? I know it will end in tears but watching United play the way Leeds is playing will be a joy after the crap we have watched since SAF retired.

Nice to see Raphinha doing well, never got the praise he deserved here because Bruno took all the headlines but he was always good for us and it seems like he'll fit in very well at Leeds

Arsenal are so boring to watch, playing like peak Stoke without the long balls or any attacking threat really.
