For me it is not even about that. You are the richest and biggest team in the country, maybe the world, it's just embarrassing to not try and be pro active. It's a simply question of status. Real won a league title and were largely successful under him and a lot of their fans hated that cowardly set-up, when we accept it, we are basically saying we are a small team.

Smalling, Jones and Mata returning from injury and resting Pogba. Can't complain that much we weren't able to put in a great performance.
Still, not been a very good second half by us - and really we should've scored in the first.
Again. Its not a mietake. Its weak. Players make mistakes and that is fair enough, but turning your back on shots and crosses is not a mistake. Its a choice of protecting yourself over blocking the ball.Welbeck woul score today it was written in destiny.Another youngster on. Nice experienceTuanzabe seems to have more composure than Smalling... happy to see a good performance for the lad
Hardly overreacting.. have you seen how shit we've been at OT this season? Failure to win the EL and it's been a disaster of a season.
Christ, are people still pining for him?DWelbz

Jose said he's given up, so it's somehow acceptable that we've put in this performance today.
Yes we have been woeful in collecting points. But our form has generally been good this season if you've actually bothered to watch the matches. Especially when compared to prior years.
Its inexplicable that we have so many home draws. That was the difference to being in the top 4 and where we are now. We have dominated most of the games at OT this year but our finishing has let us down.
I truely believe its a false position in the league. We have also managed to win one trophy whilst being close to reaching the final of another. We are moving in the right direction and cleaning out the deadwood and bringing in Jose's own players will get us there next year.
He'll play full 90' against Tottenham. People don't get it. Mou has given up on the league. He's just resting players for the EuropaWhy do we keep back passing from better positions
Are you saying that you cannot tell the difference between how we play now, vs how we played last season?
The improvements are night and day. If we had an average finisher in our team, we'd be 2nd place, minimum. A better finisher and we'd be leading the title race.
Did you watch Celta play on Thursday? They didn't offer anything. Why bother playing our starters today to Traveller them for Thursday? It's 2 games vs 4 games. Which included Spurs and Arsenal. We only need to draw Thursday to make it through.
We won all our OT games at Europe league this season.Didn't expect United to hold out with how much space there was in the first half. Just hoping the last 10 minutes are injury free. not worth the risk of losing Rashford or Lingard when they will feature against Celta.
They get reset after the quarter finals. You can't get banned for the final due to yellow cards anymore unless you get 2 in one match for a red card
That's not mutually exclusive.Oh dear, boohoo, never mind.
Thats the spirit.These cnuts do enjoy wasting time.
I meant his face. Something looks off. Does he have Rosacea or is it a really bad sunburn?
Because his dad was a Ninja Turtle.Martial has been so average this season.
its the only time he starts ffs
Great! It means Liverpool losing out.
We've been poor in the 2nd half, but selling Wellbeck was a good decision.
He scores about 3 goals per season and is mostly injured.
That would mean a) Wenger keeps his job one more year, and b) One of City or Liverpool miss out on top 4.
So I would be OK.
Im not complaining about it. Simply dont understand why fans feel its "embarassing" performance.
Hardly. Its mental some of you lot. 25 unbeaten and we lost away to a desperate arsenal side with a weakened team.
Wouldn't even say average at this point.Really has been a terrible performance.
Tuanzebe is the only highlight.It's pretty frustrating, but we're playing half a B team today and looks like Jose really never even wanted to get a point today. Don't know why we didn't just forfeit the match.
Now though he's put a lot of pressure on himself on the team to win the UEFA cup, we really have to win it else he's almost deliberately sabotaged us getting into the CL.Time for arsenal dressing room selfies.Rooney is 'old' and 'fat'. What's Martial's excuse?
Laughable. The last thing we need right now is another mediocre squad players with poor finishing and injuries aplenty. Rashford is infinately better.
Yea, where's the running? Show some heart. That's the least we should expect from players wearing the shirt on the field.
That's being generous.
Yes but having Rooney in the side is like having 9 men. He offers us absolutely nothing. He hinders our game dramatically.
I thought he worked pretty hard and had good work rate. If you are going to slate him for that you need to bust the balls of the entire team cuz we lost all the one on one positional battles today. From the second half start you can just tell we were not going to win but were hanging on for the draw. I don't mind that but the effort and commitment levels just were not there with the entire team. Not just Miki.
"Average" is being VERY kind.Today Carrick is the man of the match by a mile. DDG had a good run as well.- Status
