[Rustyspider13]

A tale of terrible defenses. We can actually win this despite our terrible defense. Really missing Fred.

 

[United Hobbit]

Sancho, Ronaldo and DDG are the only ones on my must keep list.

I would be OK with Varane, Lindelof, Elanga and Bruno staying

Everyone else needs binning in whatever way possible

It's a shame Matic is the only one so far guaranteed to go as if used sparingly he could do a job

 

[Jazz]

Ronnie's had a good half. Very professional from him. Still positive even though we're losing.

 

[Escobar]

We're still shit but the ref deserves a sacking

 

[Heinzesight]

If we could just have some composure, these pricks* are there for the taking.


*not United

 

[r0663664]

Bloody stupid team. U have time to put the ball in and we wait for the whistle.

 

[tomaldinho1]

PL is atrocious outside of the top 2, we are actually better than them.

 

[Relevated]

He blew the whistle right when the cross was about to go in

 

[Cassidy]

Been that way for months now under this fraud manager.

Not saying the players arent to blame, but they've clearly no respect for the manager or his instructions.

They have done the same to how many managers…

 

[sparx99]

Could be 3-3 this at HT

It really could have. Great watch if it wasn’t for the bullshit decisions.

 

[DJ_21]

Should of had a pen that halve. If that doesn’t touch the defenders arm then sancho is through. Entertaining game so far, we need to take it to them second halve.

 

[mitchmouse]

It’s been an exciting game and yet none of the commentators are going ‘ooooohhhhh’ or ‘aaaaahhhhh’ every two minutes. Refreshing not listening to Carragher, Neville and Tyler.

wow... I'd have Gary over hoddle and mcmanan any day

 

[Ekeke]

Arsenal playing more of the good attacking football, but we've been very dangerous on breaks and some good longshots. Good game

 

[RedIan]

Far better performance offensively today, we just do not know how to defend.. Arsenal don’t look great in defence either. Likely more goals.
Think the tackle on Elanga was a pen, pulled him back 3 times in the box.
Ronaldo been class, DDG awesome.

 

[2 man midfield]

Ref not waiting for us to complete the attack.

BENT REF IS REAL

Nah that’s Elanga’s fault. Time is up and it’s a free hit, just get the ball in the box or take a man on. Playing it back is always going to result in the whistle.

 

[TheRedDevil2019]

Much improved performance today. Very entertaining match so far. Play like that again in the 2nd half and I'll accept the loss and be proud of the lads. At least we are showing some fight and pride. That's all I ask for.

 

[edgecutter]

Both teams don't deserve europe

 

[GledTheRed]

Defend like under 9's man.

 

[siw2007]

Defending isn’t great again today, having said that, I think we are somewhat unlucky to be in the break a goal down. We’ve created many chances ourselves, two penalty calls waved away while they get a very soft one themselves. There’s definitely a 2nd goal in it for us if we can show a little more conviction when we get the chance.

 

[VidaRed]

Were these players unaware that we had time for one more attack before half time of we actually went with purpose?

I reckon the iq of some our players is in double digits.

 

[Berbaclass]

Million times better than Tuesday. Unlucky to be losing IMO

 

[VP89]

He blew the whistle right when the cross was about to go in

Because Elanga started again

 

[Annihilate Now!]

Ronaldo and Matic stand outs... Sancho and Elanga decent too... Back four absolutely dogshit.

 

[pauldyson1uk]

We really do miss greenwood on the right!

personally don't give a toss if we miss him, don't want him anywhere neat the team or OT .

 

[Red Dreams]

We can win this.

 

[Lentwood]

I still think if you added Phillips and Rice to this side we'd have another 15 points now.

We just don't have a midfield. It's one or two passes and teams are through us. Likewise, we have to play the ball directly into the forwards and wide players because the midfield don't want it.

 

[VinzentFTW]

Bruno is gonna be a massive problem next year with all his high risk attemps.

 

[VidaRed]

Million times better than Tuesday. Unlucky to be losing IMO

Thats because the opposition is inferior, we're still shite.

 

[Walters_19_MuFc]

No way we should be losing this but such is fecking life. Hopefully we dont drop off in the second half.

 

[GledTheRed]

Arsenal are shit, hope Spurs het 4th.

 

[Cassidy]

Elanga is pretty much just a stronger Dan James.

I think James might be better to be honest

 

[Tom Van Persie]

This is from last week

 

[Rozay]

The difference in talent between Bruno and Odegaard is instantly visible. By the time we read about the main events in the morning, it may not be as visible - Ronnie may head in a Bruno corner - but everything in between, planets apart.

 

[frostbite]

Dalot, Telles, Elanga are not good enough.

 

[TsuWave]

yet still our best midfielder.

fiction. nothing but myth

 

[FireballXL5]

That has to be some of the worst officiating I've ever seen.

 

[Heinzesight]

Sure telles came from behind him and crashed into his back? How's he offside

The player fouled wasn’t offside. The guy who put it in the net was.

 

[#07]

Positives: Our first and second line press is working well and causing Arsenal a lot of problems when they play out.
Negatives: All Arsenal need to do is go over our press and our defence melts like warm butter. Telles, particularly, looks vulnerable when the ball's in the air. All Arsenal need to do is hoof it towards him and make him track the ball and the runner. He's shown repeatedly he's incapable of that. Dalot's not much better on the other side (nor are the centre backs).

This game could end with us winning or conceding 4 or 5. It really depends on how much we can stop Arsenal from making our defenders cope with balls in the channel.

 

[Mr. Ant]

people here have short/selective memories. Matic has been finished for a while

His legs are gone but his technical skills are still way better than all of the other midfielders in the squad.

 

[VidaRed]

Nah that’s Elanga’s fault. Time is up and it’s a free hit, just get the ball in the box or take a man on. Playing it back is always going to result in the whistle.

He's turning into rashford.
