If not for De Gea, Rooney would be my MotM. That bitch is starting to win me over.

Strange game. Possibly our poorest performance (first half anyway) and we get our best result of the season. Baffling selection, but we get away with it.

De Gea and Smalling were excellent.

What the hell did I just watch. The Di Maria miss, the Giroud goal, our defence, Arsenal attempting to score...it was comical.

But I'll take a win away at Arsenal any day.

Apart from the first 30 minutes that was a classic united away to arsenal under Fergie. Sit back, soak up pressure and hit them on the break. Ignore the formation.

All the doubters can get fecked too. Constant whinging before the game. Hopefully they'll shut the feck up now and have some faith.

Incredible. Holy mindfeck. I'm not sure how they always manage to lose against us, no matter how shite we are, but I'm loving it.

Dean can feck off with his eight minutes though.

Some of our play was the worst it's been this season, some of the defending and our shape in defense the best it's been in parts when we were under the cosh and very disciplined. Probably lucky to get the win, though Di Maria should have put us 3-0 ahead.

Got to build on this now.

Largely poor performance which marginally improved, but got there in the end.

We often looked slow and predictable in attack early in the game. Di Maria needs to play centrally - he's just not playing effectively elsewhere. RVP continues to look past it. I may get some criticism for this because a lot were praising him, but I still feel like Fellaini is largely a liability in midfield.

The defence started weak, but gradually got a little bit better. De Gea was superb once again and continues to be the saving grace of our backline.

My heart has come out my chest. Poor performance, but a much needed win.

I wonder how bad we'd have to play for Arsenal to actually beat us?

We improved in the second half but they should really have been out of sight by half time, we were awful.

Still, 4th place!

If it weren't for all these fecking injuries I'd be starting to think about a top 2 finish.

Another game that I think told us more about our opposition than about us.
But, a win! :D

Brilliant result. We were a bit shit at times but as usual, find a way to beat arsenal. Rvp was rubbish. Rooney and di maida were good. Fellini had a solid game, and de gear was simply brilliant.

Where's my arc, Paulie?
All we need now is get a good run of results and we will be like the old United.Play average against big teams but crush the mid table teams to pile on the points.

De Gea amazing, unlucky not to keep a clean sheet.

Di Maria should've scored. Our defence is very poor, 3-5-2 doesn't work. RVP should not be playing. More injuries... But we won!

We were lucky to win the game. Huge win as we seriously needed to take points off a CL rival and are up to 4th.
