And diabolical for first half hour. So no, he didn’t have a good game. He had a good 15 minutes.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran hold a long overdue conversation about United's awful league form with 1 win in 7. They discuss a disappointing draw at Bournemouth, a not so disappointing draw against Liverpool and a crushing defeat at Chelsea - Is time nearly over for Erik Ten Hag?
Then in a special second half of the pod, Nik welcomes Natalie ( https://twitter.com/natalie_17) to discuss the fortunes of Manchester United Women as they booked a place in the FA Cup Final after a historic first ever win vs. Chelsea.
I don't think I've seen a player (even late career Rooney) veer so wildly from decent to shit on a minute by minute basis.
He's an anomaly; does something amazing followed by something you'd expect from your 40 year old uncle having a kick about.
Thought he was good considering he was playing away at Stamford Bridge. It is to be expected attacking players won't be doing it for 90 minutes in games like that. Still scored and assisted. Can't ask for much more really
But he had a poor first half in that match so he didn't have a good game, despite his two assists.
So how would you describe most of Mkhi’s game yesterday?
Looked way better in the hole than Ozil lately. Love his work ethic and ability to drive with the ball with aggression. Thanks for this amazing player <3
Amazing player

Just shows how good of a player he is in the right hands.
.. Or something.

He is amazing in a 5-1 win against Fulham. I congratulate him. However, when the going get tough the Mkhitaryan goes back into his shell. Perfect/ typical player for Arsenal under Wenger.Amazing player

I know he’s on the wind up/ trolling.
I’m certainty glad he’s not another weak minded player we have to deal with anymore. We have enough problems.
I just can't stand Arsenal supporters, they're even worse than the Liverpool lot
He is far from amazing. Maybe at arsenal the level of expectation is much low that they call every average to good player amazing.
Weird reaction.Amazing player

Weird post
It was a response to my similar comments made in another thread. Realised there was a thread for him so bumped it.
He's been playing well for us when called upon.

Not really. Your post came across as unpleasant and butt hurt for no apparent reason.
Yeah because the Arsenal fan wasn't looking for a reaction was he? Wise up
You don't need to be apologetic.
He obviously has weird issues with Arsenal fans which is fine but a tad strange in this case.
I still like Mikhi, he was dreadful in that first half of the second season with us, but he was pretty good for us in his first season when we won the EL.
I'm not particularly sad that he's gone though. We still have too many decent but not particularly great wide players.

Oh yes let's be 'wise' for these important matters. It's just a bit of banter FFS.
So who ya supporting for the City Liverpool bollocks up next?
Come on City!
Come on City!
Truth is Mkhitarian isn't player we needed for a club of our ambitions. As bad as Sanchez has been I still wouldn't take Mkhitarian back. Not good enough.
You must have been real busy getting to know us all
What's the difference between banter and being a WUM because the latter isn't allowed on here
I think he offers more than someone like Mata, Martial or Rashford (at this stage for the younger two at least, but that should change eventually) - but he's no world beater, just a good versatile squad option to have.
I think Emery will get more out of him than JM would have though.
Martial anyday over Mkhitarian for me.
I understand the case made for Mkhitarian over the other two but I was speaking more from a sense of how he fit into our and Jose's system. I mean, I can't stress enough how rubbish he was for us in the latter phase of his United career. Just hopeless. He needs teams like Dortmund and Arsenal.
A WUM implies that the person is genuinely winding up posters here (especially United fans). Can't see how that comment about bloody Mkhitarian would wind up anyone.
A mod can explain the actual difference I suppose.
He doesn't offer anything more than Martial. we have seen him play week in week out for this team, he was awful. Remember so many posters calling him a coward for his hiding performance against Chelsea.
Glad we got rid of him, even though Sanchez has been a disappointment.
Yeah I'd take Martial too for sure, I'm just talking about what they offer at the moment. But that's down to their respective forms currently, as Martial has world class potential if he can put it together.
I meant just at the moment, not in the long run.
I've yet to see Mkhitaryan reach the level he had in the Europa League. Him and Zlatan carried us to the trophy. He has been very ordinary for Arsenal, similar to what he was for us just before he left.
Has a good game every now and then against fodder, might as well not exist against big teams.
This idea that he was being held back by other factors just doesn't hold water, he's just a decent player.

Losing vs GIBRALTAR
It is a team sport though, didnt know Mkhitaryan is a country.
Seems like a really petty post.
I've seen some Armenia games because they often have the early kickoff when no one else is playing. If you had no idea who their star player was you'd be forgiven if you still had no clue after watching them a couple of times. It seems like he's always going through the motions rather than wearing his heart on his sleeves. Very limited footballer.
I know Sanchez has been crap but having seen mkhi play for us, I would still have this Sanchez than have mkhi.
He was very good for them earlier in his career. Played well in most of the big qualifying games and Armenia were only 3 or 4 points from grabbing second place in the Euro 2012 and WC 2014 qualifiers. Since then they've got worse and he hasn't done much for the past couple of qualifying cycles. I don't think he handled it too well when the expectation increased around the time of his great Dortmund season.
He’s bloody awful, isn’t he?
