Cannot be arsed with another top 4 battle. Lost interest in this.
We have the exact same points tally after 4 games as we had after 4 last year and with a bit more squad depth I think we could have mounted a bit of a challenge. So no.Is it safe to assume we are already out of the Premier League title race?

Yeah I don't disagree with the control part. This is something we have struggled with for ages. EtH still has a lot to do. I don't think our style has progressed sufficiently, and we're also very, very easy to score against. I just think this game in particular was a bit harsh on us. They did not deserve that.I agree injuries are hampering us but the first half was not because of injuries. Moreover it's not like our first 11 were setting the world alight with their amazing football. My biggest gripe is we have no semblance of control any match, no matter who we play. I can understand the loss considering they took the lead at the very end but it's not like they were not controlling the game till then. They didn't have too many chances but barring the last 20 mins we were barely pushing them either. Rasmus coming in would be huge I feel, but we have to start controlling the tempo a lot better if we intend to improve our play and our performances and results.
Agreed on that, chance creation was good enoughMaybe I got carried on
Weighorst apart, we created a good amount of chances at least.
Its not a good post. Some small positives are not enough. We are Man United. We have spent another £200m for the second window. Our manager is in his second season. We are still a mess, lightweight midfield, relying on a 20 year old novice for goals, back up centre backs are useless. We win nothing this seasonAgreed. Good post.
Yes let's write him off now after 30 minutes away to one of the better teams in the league.Unless ETH knows something about Hojlund that everyone else doesn't, be prepared for a long season without a proper striker.
We played well considering the limitations we had.Can’t understand why people are saying we played well, I thought we were negative from the start and never looked like taking the game to Arsenal.
When was the last time we went away to one of the top teams and played them off the park?
Our passing and pressing is still shoddy and way off the top teams.
Rant over.
Agreed. Losing isn't fun. It's just a whole new level of 'cope' that we shouldn't subscribe to.I'm tired of these hard luck stories. Means feck all if we keep losing.
Spot on.Maguire and evans. It’s only right we lose.
I thought we played ok, 3-1 is harsh.
Liked the look of hoijlund, but we are miles off where we want to be away from home.
He’s just deflecting from the real issues with his team.Good, this needs to be said.
The offside goals was a classic counter attack from us in the last mins of normal time. However you are taking that one counter as proof that we were better than last time. Last time we at least scored twice. This time we barely troubled their keeper. Did Ramsdale even have a stop to make barring Rashford's goal?You seem to be upset about this being the same pattern as last season. I figured reminding you of that disallowed goal might help you understand the difference. Evidently not.
Then you'll never be happy mate. Good luck to you though.Its not a good post. Some small positives are not enough. We are Man United. We have spent another £200m for the second window.

We'll just have to win the Champions League thenCannot be arsed with another top 4 battle. Lost interest in this.
Yep. Wasn’t offside. And where did 8 minutes extra time come from?Still not convinced by the angle utilised for the VAR check. It was all very rushed
No one is writing him off. He's just unproven and cost a lot of money. If he knocks in 25 goals then it will have been worth it. Otherwise, there will be lingering questions why we didn't strengthen the position over the summer, especially with Kane available.Yes let's write him off now after 30 minutes away to one of the better teams in the league.
You know better than that mate.
Enough with 'we're Man United'. That stopped meaning anything the moment the Glazers bought the club. SAF held things together until he retired, but until they're gone this is what we are now. We aren't entitled to anything. Just be happy you got to live through a period of success.Its not a good post. Some small positives are not enough. We are Man United.

I don't think that's quite right. We're obviously not going to be in a title race this season, but I think we'll be in the battle for the CL places. I'm less certain than I was a month ago about our ability to finish top 4 (or rather top 5 this season), though - the early signs are that lack of form of key players and injuries are likely to make it an uphill task.I’d assume we’re not even in a top 4 race.
Yep.We were much more solid in this game. Just switched off for the equaliser. Very fine margins between victory and defeat.
