    The question is whether Arse can maintain this sort of intensity for another 45 without themselves conceding another. I think not.
     
    Entertainment overload. Arsenal are very unlucky not to have got a goal, as they really dominated the half after we got our second. I'm not sure my nerves can handle more of the same in the second half. Would really love us to grab a third on the counter in the second half.
     
    Any other game and Arsenal would have scored 4 or 5. Mou hs come with a plan to attack on the counter and while the scoreline may reflect that the plan is working, we've been incredibly lucky to have not conceded yet
     
    I don't like us inviting so much pressure, we will concede eventually. We should really have go at them, their back line is dogshite, we can penetrate easily.
     
    Our defence is like steel wall. And De Gea I love you! I'm amazed with our counter attack. Always very dangerous for Arsenal.
    Btw, for Lingard haters, hello... :lol:
     
    We wanted entertaining football. Well, this is entertaining football. But can the ball please spend less time in our box? This is nerve wracking. :lol: :lol:

    So weird. For 25 minute we were perfect.

    Arsenal will be wondering how it isn’t 3-2.

    Jose will stick his boot in now, and hopefully we see it out at the very least.

    It was combination of things. Wenger changed formation and went all out attack. We starting conceding possession at the same time. Need cooler heads out there in 2nd half to see this one through.

    Great game, not good for the old ticker though!

    Both Matic and Pogba look like they are struggling with fitness.

    The wide areas look a bigger issue to me tbh.
    Too many crosses coming in.

    I love De Gea
     
    Great start of the game but we lost full control of the game by 25 minutes. We're not even defending well. It could have easily ended in 2-2.

    We need to regain control of the game quickly before they score.

    Herrera will provide many things, composure is pretty low down on that list.

    An extra body holding in midfield. It would mean taking Lingard off and being less potent on the counter but it looks too open for me. I think he'll give it 10mins and if it's more of the same he'll make a change.
     
    Arsenal could have scored a bunch, but that's because they have nothing to lose now, they're trailing by two!
     
    This game would be 10x easier for us if we could clear the fecking ball!!!

    About 10 times in that half where a clearance travelled about 3 feet straight to an Arsenal player.
     
    Most of Twitter not crediting our fairly good performance in attack and defense (we literally threw ourselves to block their shots) and claiming Arsenal deserve to lead 3-2.

    Feck that, Arsenal deserve nothing. Our attackers, defenders and GK have been better as a team. We just need our CBs to stop being so nervy.
     
    Honestly think I would drop Lukaku now for Herrera for a bit more midfield control. Let Martial/Lingard counter, bring Rashford on to keep it fresh.
     
    No need for the wingbacks as Arsenal is doing all their work through the centre of the pitch confusing our MFs and CBs.

    What a masterclass by De Gea.

    Still not feeling Lindelof, though. Mistake after mistake, there's no way we won't concede in the 2nd. Game looks too big for him.

    He's been the only Centreback who has looked alright :confused:
     
    We desperately need better senior centre backs. All three we had out there are going to pieces everytime Arsenal attacked. :lol:
     
    70% possession, 8 shots, and 8 corners in Arsenal's favour. Need to defend properly or this could soon take the gleam off a great opening 10-15 minutes.

    Can be happy going in 2 up at half time but we need sort out the 2nd half. We’re getting ripped apart. Need an extra body in midfield.

    Pogba should be releasing Lukaku a bit earlier on these counters as well

    Maybe we'd defend better with an extra midfielder at the cost of a defender. They are sometimes getting in each others way. I don't think subbing off Martial or Lingard would help much.

    Pogba had such a golden opportunity to find Lukaku or Martial for the third..
     
    I think United is giving birth to a legend in De Guea.
     
    Looking like we need an extra body in midfield.

    Martial is looking brilliant.
     
    Can we drop number 10 and have 1-2 in midfield ffs, this is stupid.

    Martial needs to be more assertive on the counterattack. Too often makes the wrong decisions and loses the ball.

    Lukaku is absolutely chomping at the bit to get a hit on goal and he just isnt getting the supply. Has been a good 45 minutes so far and both haven't tracked back too much probably by instruction.

    Good shout! The only time he looked like scoring was against DDG! Cant even hold the ball up.
     
    We can't stay under that pressure. And yes Matic lad we need 2 3 players like you.

    God bless DDG.
