Why do I stop being or feeling angry when United loses games?
Have to say that the offside looked very tight from the little we were able to see. Not sure what EtH was able to see.
Just seen Garnacho again - his hand is the only thing beyond the defender's head. you can't score with your hand therefore, for me anyway, onside. Not sure it's a penalty but the foul on Evans is clear as day
As opposed to us giving them the ball and being under pressure? The players didn’t pick the right passes on the ball when there were options to pass forward. However keeping the ball frustrated Arsenal, we needed to be better at moving off the ball, Hojlund second half made a big difference up top to help with that.
agree it was really marginal but they rushed to disallow, balancing out the penalty?

There wasn’t space in behind when there was, Rashford was played inAs opposed to having Rashford run in behind the defence and playing the ball into his run. Something you dont need Onana and Lindelof passing to each other as Arsenal attackers try to pinch it off their foot in our own box to achieve. We've done that for years without a "ball playing Goalkeeper" and CBs signed to play the ball out from goal kicks.

Do people complain if the small benefit of doubt such as a hand perhaps being a little offside as opposed to a goal being disallowed for the same reason?
Actually feel physically sick after this game
OkYou have no idea, the camera was firmly fixated in our own third not showing Arsenal's CBs. There was plenty of pitch for Rashford to run into at a speed that Arsenal's defenders cannot match
I meant Arsenal players, coaches and fans. Not us.It's a forum, and it's a short period of time after a super gutting defeat.
A defeat at a ground we lose at every single season, usually looking utterly hapless, where for once we've looked reasonably comfortable.
A game in which we've looked like we've implemented a classic smash and grab, only to be gutted that a win would only be a draw.
And then see that draw not only turn to a loss, but a comfortable looking 3-1 loss.
If you don't expect moans of frustration after that, I don't know what to tell you.
Well there was some good and bad in that one but ultimately i can't see either of these teams getting near City. The difference is Arsenal are meant to be much further along than we are so make of that what you will.
Positives:
- passing from the back- Onana is the big difference although i'm not sure if we might have made a trade for someone who is excellent with his feet but not a great shot stopper
- Eriksen proved there's a very useful player still there. Personally was my MOTM
- Rashford is frustrating as hell but he's a player that can get a goal out of nothing.
- Antony was really good, especially defensively.
- Dalot played well
- Team showed fight and spirit and could have won the game if not for a marginal offside
Negatives:
- Martial offered very little
- We ended the match with Leicester City's centre backs
- The link between midfield and attack wasn't quick or effective enough for a 'transition team'
- As good as AWB was with some of his tackles and defensive headers it hinders us to play lightning fast transitions with a player that often needs 4 touches of the ball to set himself up. It's not going to improve and i don't think people are seeing this.
- We're going to finish the season with a poor goal difference yet again. There's not enough goals in the team and the defence isn't strong enough
- We're reliant already on Holjund and how quickly he settles as being key to our season.
Because blocker tactics seem to be a bit of a loop hole, often missed.
And no VAR ref is going to dare go out on a limb and call that on 96mins at the Emirates!
I’d assume we’re not even in a top 4 race.

I haven’t watched the game yet. Any positives? Sounds like we played better in the second half?
Crazy. Imagine if it had been us benefitting from such a call (or lack thereof). They would be talking about it for weeks on end.

If Martinez and Lindelof don't get injured, we win that game.
Our entire build up changed when Maguire (ffs) and Evans came on.
Every time Maguire got the ball he hoofed it, every single fecking time.
At one point, Onana decided to play the riskier pass to a covered Casemiro instead of Maguire who was open and standing 5 meters from him.
I would say that in the first half we played like we did under LVG. Looked to control possession and tempo, but did it with a lot of sideways passing in the defence that didn't really go anywhere. Which I'm actually fine with in the short-term, as long as it's the first step towards developing better movement and interplay throughout the team instead of only in the defence. Especially since we were against Arsenal away, looking to control possession and tempo helps take the sting out of the game.I haven’t watched the game yet. Any positives?

So many injuries is concerning though
