Maguire sprinting home just in time to be ready for the second wave of the counter.

Martial and Fred are the only ones I would allow back on the bus. The rest can walk.

Matic was good too IMO. Martial only for 2nd half improvement though. Nothing for the rest

SAF had the hairdryer Ole has the foggy mirror stare

fps · Jan 1, 2020

Arteta's put Ozil back in the team and it's made a huge difference, not made the mistake of taking him off this time either.

Ole looking very clue full

He looks like someone wondering if he left the door open.

Yeah but that kinda thinking is amateurish level, I mean is this the level of coaching we want long term at this club ?

Yeah I can kinda see that, his other option was pereira though who could have been equally as bad.
Sad state of affairs

Swearing Budgie · Jan 1, 2020

Great effort lads. Really unlucky tonight. You can see signs of progress. Can't wait for the next game.

OnlyTwoDaSilvas · Jan 1, 2020

Fred looked livid then, in acres of space, Maguire dawdles and then passes it backwards.

Drifter · Jan 1, 2020

Good job Aubameyang as been so crap tonight.

ColvaleGoa · Jan 1, 2020

I ve even enough for today. Baffling Performance. Just no energy. Should we take this as s hangover for the festive period,? Guess our strength and depth is just shite.

How and someone support or give a damn about this club with a clueless manager...clueless ceo and board?m

bonothom · Jan 1, 2020

Arsenal have been crap this season and yet United have only won 1 point out of 6 against them.

The better clubs in football use their fullbacks as potent attacking weapons. We have one who is literally unfit for professional football stinking out our left wing but insist on throwing on yet another ineffective no10 as the only feasible idea we can come up with to improve our attack.

We don't play with attacking fullbacks.

Dear Ed make it stop please...

He needs to sack himself and let his successor deal with Ole.

Martial a 6, Fred a 6 the rest go feck yourself

Would have been three massive points. What a way to screw everything up again.

That's the thing, there is just no way Perreira could be equally as bad. He isn't a great player don't get me wrong but he will always be better than Lingard. Always!

MackRobinson · Jan 1, 2020

Bocca9978 said:
No he really isn’t.

Agree to disagree. He's kept play ticking and made interceptions when needed. The left side of the defense and a lack of creativity in attack seem to be the biggest issues this match.

I’d happily take Rooney in there now over Lingard.

Yes rooney won’t be bad than Lingard in current state

Sassy Colin · Jan 1, 2020

Arse have played well, but we've been terrible.

Game over, we could play for another 10 hours and not put the ball in the back of the net. One step forward and two steps back as usual with this team, has to be a mentality thing to many times we get a sniff of top 4 and end up bottling it, literally turned into the team we‘re playing against, shocking!

That’s unfair on Arsenal. For around 10 years they bottled title challenges but went on winning runs to get 4th.

londonredmaniac · Jan 1, 2020

Brilliant start to the year.

Well done cnuts

We're a poor side on the pitch. And the answer to your question is years of poor decision making.

morbidsaint · Jan 1, 2020

2-0 loss to this shit team. Only United can manage that. Wonder what the excuses might be tonight.

And the more important thing; he doesn't want new players because morale is excellent

He's so far out of his depth it's unreal. Yet we have some posters on here who will argue until the bitter end that it's not him that's the issue.

Problem is that he thinks that he did everything right

Translation.

Superunknown · Jan 1, 2020

I can't think of another team in the league who hold on to the ball for as long as we do. We hold on to the ball until the last possible moment and we end up being closed down by the opposition, greatly reducing our passing angles. Coupled with our rubbish movement, it doesn't bode well for our creative play. We also take far, far too many touches. Our current players don't look confident or technical enough to attempt the one-touch pass and move football that we would like them to play.

Back to the Ole threads it is I guess...
and whatever new ones created after this match.

There’s going to be a few

Champ · Jan 1, 2020

I think this is the game where I have lost faith with Ole, poor team selection, poor attitude. Just awful
