Didnt we lose 6-1 against City a few years back??

Yeh mate, it was then that you just knew LvG wasn't the man.....

Ah shit, he wasn't the manager then was he.

5-0 to Chelsea too, was a bit like today tbh that one.

The only reason we look better is because Arsenal aren't playing with the same intensity as the 1st half.

If it was the 1st 20 mins all over again we'd still be getting steam rolled

They started brilliant and stunned us, we had a nightmare opening 15-20 minutes (and it was similar against Southampton). If Arsenal had continued to completely push forward it could have easily backfired rather than them sitting back which is a good tactic to do against us.

Mark my words it'll be a completely different game when we play them at OT. 3-0 flatters them. It's football, results like this happen from time to time.

One way to look at things. Not a good way imo. This game matters more than the Southampton or Sunderland game. Losing this game is worse.

Looking at the other side losing to top 4 team away is not the biggest disaster is it?

Sanchez injury ?

Hope so

pseudo_canadian · Oct 4, 2015

Sanchez is a brilliant player, but I really can't stand the "cool guy" shtick he gives off.

Super Sub Wilson?

sizzling sausages · Oct 4, 2015

Wilson!

The Schweinstiger Ramsey stand off was hilarious.

Missed that....gif?

marlowe78 · Oct 4, 2015

So what's the story? Have we been winning games because of LVG's approach or because we happen to have quality players who can bring results despite flaws to his approach?

Sky1981 · Oct 4, 2015

Owwwww. Drop. Rooneh ffs

Knee meet the jerk!

Have never been convinced about LVG, that is not knee jerk when he's been in the role for over 1 year - CORRECT?????

Randall Flagg · Oct 4, 2015

Wilson hatrick

Let's do this

Ish · Oct 4, 2015

Rooney the unsubbable

.Rossi · Oct 4, 2015

What the absolute fck is the point in showing Wilson tactics on a sheet, at 3-0 down with 8 minutes to go?!

"Yeah James, you play up front and try score, like it says here in the folder"

Surreal

Annihilate Now! · Oct 4, 2015

And still Rooney survives...

There's no way back into the match, and there hasn't been since the third went in.

Going guns ho with that the pace in Arsenals side would lead us to getting an even bigger hiding.
It's damage limitation.

That doesn't fit well with the United I know

.Phil1968 · Oct 4, 2015

Wilson to do a solskjaer and get 4 as sub

Raw · Oct 4, 2015

Go on Wilson!

rednev · Oct 4, 2015

Wilson looks like he has done some growing over the last few months.

It's a worse result than drawing Newcastle at home.

You would expect the person isolated highest up the pitch to be more likely to lose the ball, chuck on top of that the quality of service and the fact he's the only one trying to be positive and make things happen...

Unless its Rooney amirite?

No but we must make sure we don't lose ground against City and Everton away. Hopefully lessons will have been learnt

We were down to 10 men for most of that game, and we stupidly decided to go all out attack at the end which made us concede 3 goals.

Not sure what the excuse here is.

Sometimes you lose away to good sides.

Thus concludes today's lesson on the very basics of football.

Suitable for 3+

Freak · Oct 4, 2015

Our attacking play is lacking creativity

Oh well. Only 2 points behind.

With Everton away and City at home coming up

My friends - football is not a straightforward game and we don't know the results beforehand, as then we would all be betting and winning the pools every week.

Everton away and City home - so ?

Every game has it's own story.

Calm down, it's one fecking shitty game

Annihilate Now! · Oct 4, 2015

Louis Van Gaal can't play the tiredness card Martin Tyler. He's the one picking the first XI.

sunama · Oct 4, 2015

Finally, we have Wilson. An injection of pace.
It is amazing that at 3-0 down, we are strolling like its a pre-season game, and its 0-0.
I guess the players have accepted that we cannot win or draw, so best to just play it out.

roykeane19 · Oct 4, 2015

This is first time since 2001 Arsenal have scored 3 goals against us

El Zoido · Oct 4, 2015

How can we not even score against these. Even Leicester scored three here.

dsch · Oct 4, 2015

Did the Arsenal fans really just boo a substitution in the 80th minute while 3-0 up?

Really? How about if Moyes was given the 150 million or so that LVG has spent. Look at the players LVG has bought in. Some have even flopped. The only reason LVG is here because we somehow (after spending 100 million) finished top four.

We'd have still been crap because Moyes had no idea how to manage a big club. He's currently struggling and is probably going to be sacked by Real Socieded, let's not pretend he's a better manager than van Gaal or that he woud have been able to turn around.

We will still be 2 points behind top after this game. We lost 6-1 to City under Ferguson and survived.

DevilRed · Oct 4, 2015

Captain and manager to blame for this.

Came out so flat and uninspired. Rooney's influence on the pitch is really nonexistential. One of the poorest captains in recent memory.

Manager silly to expect us to dominate possession away from home at the emirates. Should have kept it tight and hit on the counter. We have the pace (Depay/Martial/Young) to do so, not sure why we don't adopt such tactics when its tried and trusted against the gooners.

mav_9me · Oct 4, 2015

Wilson getting a goal would be enough for me now.

Isotope · Oct 4, 2015

At least LvG's found Rooney's best position. LW/LF. Although it might mean that we don't have any width on both side.
