Arsenal 1:2 Manchester United

Mata for RVP and Herrera for Blackett.

----------------De Gea
Valencia -Smalling - Mcnair - Young
.....................Carrick
...........Herrera -----Fellaini
Mata---------Rooney--------Di Maria

We would win with that team but it will never happen.

Lawman · Nov 22, 2014

Hope we come out and play 4 at the back. We area shambles totally riding our luck. LVG looking more clueless by game I am afraid. Hope he realises soon stop playing 3 at the back and stop dropping off and letting teams play out the back, it is not helping us.

Sunny Jim · Nov 22, 2014

Up until 25th minute Van Persie had 1 succesful pass. It was the kick off.

Ole's_toe_poke · Nov 22, 2014

Just go 4 at the back and try to pass the ball faster.

I hate this taking 3 touches on the ball and then passing back bullshit. You'll never create anything with that kind of play.

Its meaningless possession.

Redlyn · Nov 22, 2014

Im with RVP for Herrera brigade. But when has LVG ever taken RVP off? He'd sooner pull of Rooney AND ADM than RVP.
Its time for him to show us how big his bollocks are with a RVP sub in this match.

If I were fellaini there , I would have took that headbutt and went down easily there.

This cuntshire needs a lesson there.

He would have looked like a fool but the ref may well have brought the card out

You wait ages for a game, then 5 mins into it you want it to end asap.

Blue always red · Nov 22, 2014

Best part of this game is that I've just seen Kate Upton looking super hot in an advert...

togg · Nov 22, 2014

to be honest..we are there for the taking..if the Arse don't do it, then will love to see Wenger's press conference

2 Neville's · Nov 22, 2014

Pathetic half of football from us. We saw Montero ruin Chambers last week. We should have stuck with the 433 and had Di Maria on him all game. McNair has done well. Blackett looking shaky at times. Dave is Dave, thank Christ he is in goal for us.

Newgate · Nov 22, 2014

The gooners in fb are going crazy that they did not finished us off in the first half..

blitz133w · Nov 22, 2014

Our movement in the opposition box makes me cry. There's Di Maria dribbling and running at defenders and not a single player is making runs into the box.

Can you imagine the fallout if they don't. All our injuries, we might actually be hailed as brave heroes for once.

I'd take a 0-0 draw with a great smile that's for sure. We're this bad and we hope to be 4th ?

they think that was a penalty

Tbf, anywhere else on the pitch and that's a routine foul. So it's a pen, really, isn't it?

People who are asking for Herrera, is he able to play for 45 minutes?
My understanding is that Herrera is injured, so cant play for long.
If he wasnt injured, I'm sure he'd start.

He's not injured and hasn't for a while, if he was he wouldn't be a sub. What would be the point of putting him on the bench if he can't play? He's being sacrificed for Fellaini.

Sam · Nov 22, 2014

That first 30 minutes was quite possibly the most pathetic football I've ever seen from a United team. And I include the Fulham debacle in that.

I was like watching a conference side taking on a PL team in the FA cup. The only answer we had was to hoof it to the big lad.

Not even Van Gaal is 100% sure.

So apparently Fellaini went down theatrically (headbutt incident) and Wilshere should have had a penalty?

I knew i should have just put the TV on mute.

Will you never learn? :lol:

It clearly doesn't work that way, but crack on.

What are the odds he takes of Di Maria in the 2nd half for fletcher and RVP stays for the full 90 mins.
IF that happens - I will have serious doubts about lvg's ability!

He has brought Wilson on for RVP a few times

Mata, Januzaj, Wilson, Lindegaard...not sure who else.

HERRERA.

Redlyn · Nov 22, 2014

Wilshere is getting really frustrated mouthing off at everyone. We need Fellaini to get in there with niggles and send him over the edge

RORY65 · Nov 22, 2014

I'm honestly not that fussed if we win or not, it's a sport and I've experienced more success as a United fan than 99% of fans will in their lifetime. My main desire would be for us to be an exciting team to watch, which we've not been for quite a while and at the same time it's not unreasonable to think we should be doing better simply in terms of how much we've spent. It's monumental feckwittery that we've spent in excess of 200 million since Ferguson left and yet we're still way off the top sides in so many areas.

We didn't boo Ronaldo either, did we? He wasn't born and bred in Manchester, he acted a bit like a cnut before leaving, but still we cheered him when he came to Old Trafford.

That's because we loved him and he won us lots of pots, obviously.

Well that's not going to happen. He's not going to bring Young off who just came on

Should never have been brought on in the first place. 3 at the back is painfull to watch. 442 diamond like i suggested and lets put arsenal to the sword

simonhch · Nov 22, 2014

I don't know what to think or feel.

Van Persil · Nov 22, 2014

Seriously, without De Gea being on fire we could easily be 2 or 3 goals down by now!

Thank God his pinky got better in time for the game.

Mancunia_Religion · Nov 22, 2014

I don't know what to make of this team anymore. Just a joke to be honest.

J-Stander · Nov 22, 2014

The long ball stuff from Smalling and Blackett is awful. Get Herrera on and keep it down.

I don't think it would be. Shaw was quick enough to track where Wilshere was going so he just threw himself to the floor.

Dylan94 · Nov 22, 2014

I would love us to win this game if for no other reason than to see Wenger in the post match interview.

Mad Winger · Nov 22, 2014

DDG, McNair, Di Maria and Fellaini have been good-ish.

We were shite in the first 20 minutes, and then we gradually came to our senses. We were the best team in the last 15 minutes.

Freak · Nov 22, 2014

I really can't tell what our much talked about philosophy is.

Untied · Nov 22, 2014

Never a clear penalty…

Wilshire missed a sitter moments earlier and went looking for it.

A man cannot do more than hope. Sigh...

Sid234 · Nov 22, 2014

We actually need 3 at the back to cope with Arsenal's runner's from midfield, with Blind out we don't have cover for the back 4, and Carrick isn't mobile enough to handle Ramsey and Wilshere's runs from midfield

Rolandofgilead · Nov 22, 2014

We grew into the half but really didn't create much, what's happened to van persie? I'd happily see him brought off.
