    Very unlucky. We deserve to be at least drawing this.

    Rashford has been off it for a while, throw Martial on at 55 mins.
     
    Well we're winning on xG....

    Seriously though we have created a decent amount but haven't been as intense as usual. Been a bit too soft I'd say. Arsenal dangerous through kolasinac mainly but havent created anything really. Horrible De Gea mistake gave them the goal.

    Would consider putting Martial on and switching to a 433, putting lukaku or rashford on the right.
     
    They are lucky to go in 1 up for me, United will have these second half.

    Definitely hungover from Wednesday, Arse have attacked very well and we’re off the pace. I do think we can can back into it though, I’d have Rashford off within 10 mins of the restart if he doesn’t improve dramatically. Martial can be the difference.

    They attacked very well without mustering a single chance?
     
    Think we were poorly setup to start with and didn't get in the game until 20 odd minutes. Keep at it second half and we should grab a goal.

    Need at least a draw here
     
    Weird half. We've looked clumsy and lethargic but still unlucky to be behind.

    Matic looks like he's come back too early.
     
    Had Rashford have a bit more quality we could have been in front or at worst 1 all.
     
    Bring on Martial but keep Lukaku and Rash on. Rashford always finds a way to redeem himself on shite days

    Don’t understand this narrative. We’ve outplayed Arsenal, not the other way around. They’ve created no clear opportunities and their goal has come from a rare error from DDG. We’ve created 3/4, hitting the post twice.

    I think we've improved (and we needed to) and they've slacked off (because you can't raise your game all game).

    There's enough time to win this comfortably but I seriously think we need to sacrifice Fred to command mid-field.

    Caveat: He's not written off completely, He just shouldn't play with Pogba perhaps.

    Agreed

    People wanted a fast counter attacking United who can hit the opposition on the break. But for a couple of bad finishes and bad decisions with final passes, we'd be 1-3 up at half time.

    Arsenal have created one chance, the shot from Lacazette which was deflected wide. Their goal was one of those hit and hope shots which caught the keeper out.
     
    A loss or draw away at Arsenal wouldn't be the end of the world. But Chelsea and spurs results make today's game a must win.

    Dig it out lads. Rashford needs to up his game big time.
     
    We are playing at about 20% at the moment and should still be ahead. We can score 2 or 3 in the second half if we step it up.
     
    Poor all over.

    Very disappointing going forward. Zero composure in the final third. Lukaku and Rashford are well off it. Both should have goals.

    DeGea on long shots has been troubling lately. Again conceded a shot he should save.

    Don't like the shapes we tried, too clever by half. 433 with Martial left and Rashford right second half.
     
    Arsenal are absolute garbage. It's a travesty we're not 3 goals up. We cannot, under any circumstances, lose this game.
     
    We started slow, and an absolute shocker from the goalie, but we’ve grown into it and should probably be going on level. Still hopeful, but the longer we don’t score - a second Arsenal goal will kill us off. Next goal wins the game I think, so long as it comes soonish.

    Sky are making out like we are a poor 2nd. Far from it, freak goal aside I am okay with that 1st half. Rashford looks like he needs a rest but that aside we look like scoring every time we attack.

    That's why i'm watching MUTV half-time.
     
    Mctominay was superb at Paris I would have continued with him for this fixture. Never confident in matic. He and pogba just strolled and gave so much space and time for xhaka to have a shot.
     
    Enough about Rashford. MATIC is the one that needs to be subbed at HT. Can’t even catch up with Ozil. Midfield is full of holes but they got closed towards the end, just need Scott(never thought I’d want him in but he was tenacious during Psg)

    What does wednesday have to do with our fight for top 4? Please make it make sense? We need to win this game and his horrendous performance isn't helping.

    Reaching CL quarter finals in a spectacular fashion made the most notable highlight of our season so far. How is it not clear ?
     
    Not that upset to be honest. We've had four clear-cut scoring chances, hitting the post twice, while they haven't created much more than their goal that came from nothing.

    A little bit more luck in the second half and we've got enough to win this. Hopefully we'll be able to get something here.
     
    They’ve had a bit more energy about them but we’re not exactly playing awful. We’ve created better chances than them and are only losing due to DDG’s error.

    Lukaku looks sharp but Rashford and Lindelof are a bit off so far. Still confident we can get something.
     
    To be fair to Mctominay he ate Verrati up midweek. Let him go eat Ozil and we'll win the 2nd half atleast.

    Yeah, pretty much this. If we had Herrera instead of Matic for the second half I'd be a lot more confident. Hopefully he'll be back next week.
     
    Has the feel of one of those games where we wil just find a way to gift wrap the points for the opposition. Despite being poor we should have scored a couple but we just looknof the pace.
     
    Arsenal is not good enough to beat us today, but we can't build up a proper play and if we do we still can't find the way to put them. Hopefully at least we can nick a draw.
     
    I thought we ended the half well, if we can keep up the intensity we'll get a goal. The goal was a soft one.

    I'd bring Martial on for Rashford if he doesn't improve in the 2nd.
