This is going to be a calm and collected discussion. See you all in a couple days.
This is exactly what I’m so confused about. So inconsistent.It’s bizarre how in the two CL games our passing is fast, accurate and slick. All players have a lovely first touch. We look confident.
Then we play in the PL and turn to shit.
Paul Pogba has conceded more penalties (2) than he has made key passes (1) in the league this seasonCurious to know how many penalties Pogba has given away in his time at United. I feel like I've seen him do this exact same foul in the box 2 or 3 times at this point. So sloppy.
Ole got it wrong today but I think it also highlighted the need for quality wide players. With the players at our disposal, we pretty much had to play very centrally. We made it so easy for Arsenal to defend against as they knew there was no threat coming from the wings so they could just plug the spaces in the middle and watch us passively pass it side to side. We desperately needed a win today, we're starting to slip further away now as Chelsea, City, Liverpool and Arsenal are all starting to find consistency. The league form is very very worrying indeed.
Pretty much where we deserve to be based on our league performances.We are currently in 15th place.
If we win our game in hand we might be able to get 13th.
We are currently stuck in the lower half of the table.
I’d bite your hand off for 3rd right now!!True.
And other than the fact we finished with the 3rd highest points total last season, we actually won the league
Yes we should know how to do it. And we did against Leipzig. But Arsenal play it faster and we dropped VDB, which took out our sharp passing. But looking deeper, if you have a good system, you can play badly and win. If you don't have a good system, you have to play well or you lose. And that can't always happen.Agree with you, but so many sides are now playing a high press and so many other sides in the premiership have been able to adapt to it far better than we have. I have been impressed with several sides far far weaker than us this season in the premiership playing out from the back, we simply are unable to it seems
Which is fine if you are 15 and playing in the neighbourhood league.I remember someone saying he plays like he's trying to impress a girl he fancies. Best description I've seen to be honest.
Oh god....Paul Pogba has conceded more penalties (2) than he has made key passes (1) in the league this season
Ole out, Cat in?Even my cat saw pogba wasnt working on the left. Yet ole let him waste all the game there offering nothing, among many other mistakes. This one is on Ole, absolutely owned by arteta tactically
You're actually surprised?Oh god....
Looked like VAR wasn't working at all,Arsenal first win away at home in 30 attempts against a top 6. Good record for us to break /sarcasm
Performance wise, we looked clueless. No penalty, var, or crazy mistake to help Ole out today
