    I think when we get to the last half an hour and we bring Rashford on, he's going to have a lot of success.

    Is Lingard going to jump from being just a squad player who plays the cups to a starter? I really do love this formation and he's outstanding in that position.

    I think it will suit nicely in away games against dross but we need more midfielders against top sides to have some control.
     
    Horrible defensive performance but great counter attacking to make up for it. Makes for a great game. Mourinho must be tearing his hair out.
     
    After that half, we need to give De Gea and Lady Luck a life time contract.

    A different game on your TV, mate ? It is Beard man who is saving our ass until now. Neuer will put the ball at least twice standing behind those 3 Clowns CB.

    Nah, I just felt like he wasn't commanding enough and then during a 15 minute period when they had chance after chance he came through. I am judging him by his standards, which is absolute world class.
     
    Arsenal have created a lot but feck me their chances are as fortunate as our clearances.
    We keep trying to clear it short to set up counters, all it takes is 1 to get through and its game over
     
    We need to be ruthless, smart, hit them on the counter and score one more before we park the bus.
     
    The centrebacks need to sort themselves out and really impose on the match. Too much standing off and wallying around. Need to get to the ball first and play good passes out the back for counterattacks.

    You actually look at the chances Arsenal have had, there has been as much fortune in their creation as there has been for us defending.

    We've been our own worst enemy.

    Our clearances have been fecking shocking. It's like we're trying to set up chances for them.

    Bit of composure is badly needed.

    Yep. He's not the greatest player by any means but definitely suits the role and position better than anyone atm.

    He's just a ball of energy that must be such a nuisance versus opponents, just running around for days on end.
     
    If we concede we are really going to be under pressure. Let’s hope we can catch them on the break and get a bigger cushion. Currently it looks like we will concede.

    Mate, that's because we are lucky to go in at 2-0. We could quite easily have conceded 1, maybe 2 and if we continue to play like that, it will take a miracle for us to get out of here with a point.

    And we could have went out cautious and not scored twice. Is the only scenario where there is no moaning:

    Leading, with attractive football of course, not conceded, in fact pretty much no chances for the opposition, all of the cafs favourite players playing. Oh except in that case there'd be people in saying let's not get carried away the opposition is rubbish.

    Arsenal are on a cracking run, playing good stuff and as the home team responded really well and had to go on the major offensive to get back in it. We had to ride our luck. It's 2-0.
     
    I for one am loving this game. Great football, great tempo.

    Arsenal are playing well. I think we have used the ball well when we have had it, most fluid attacking play this season.
     
    Arsenal are a decent side, but its still a Wenger team at the end of the day.

    They are wide open up the back, with very little quality in the defense, try and leave the two pacy lads up front and switch to a proper back 5 with the 3 in front and play the second half out on the counter.
     
    I just want to know how many virgins we sacrificed not to concede in the first half.

    Never seen anything like that. It's as if there was a force field around the net.
     
    Time to match formation and get out of our box otherwise it is going to cost us. With all those difficult clearances they are definitely going to bring on Giroud.
     
    Mourinho is really missing Fellaini right now. He’d love to bring him on in this second half to help defend set pieces and provide some relief by being able to hold the ball up at the other end of the pitch.
     
    Pogba is the key. He's been at the heart of our own counter attacks and he will be absolutely crucial in the second half.

    Attackers doing really well and I'm happy with Lukaku's contribution.

    Defensively our CB's are panicking. Understandable because of Arsenal's threat but under pressure the top defenders show composure. They have done so for most of the half TBF but a few critical moments has been due to rash decisions.

    Nah ya'll gotta chill. I swear everyone acting like we're the ones down 0-2 lol.

    @ the latter, we nearly scored to end the 1st half. Chances will be there on the counter attack as Arsenal keep taking offensive risk.
     
    Our defending has been shocking and very fortunate not to have conceded. Think arsenal will score at least twice in 2nd half if that continues, we have to show more composure in 2nd half.
