Let’s be honest. A diamond formation is us trying our best to fit in Pogba.
Our Fullbacks simply aren’t attacking enough.

Wow, we are bad.
I think 7/8th is where we will end up.
He’s actually played well and pushed forward and linked up well. More than Bruno, Fred and Mctominay but I guess that doesn’t suit your agenda!Distinctly second best in that half. Arsenal have our aggro’d us in that half, and look very well organised on and off the ball. Having said that, Holding is lucky to be on the pitch. Ole needs to re think this 2nd half as the set up is not working at the moment.This is not a game for any one player. Our approach is wrong.
No we shouldn't, they had one more shot than us and both of theirs were off the target, we had one on target, how did you figure that deserves them leading 0:3 I really don't know.Really missing Martial
To be honest, Ole was mainly used to coming on in the 80th minute for most of his career, so probably thinks that is when subs are allowed.We move the ball very slow. We need to press in the second half and move the ball quicker.
Arsenal are just much better at pressing and way more organised in defence.
we are playing very conservatively again, clearly worried about arsenal paceSomeone please explain to me what fecking position McTominay is playing. Why he is playing as some sort of weird defensive right midfielder who repeatedly gets the ball and goes backwards. Can this please stop immediately.Shite half.
Oh yeah, supporting the manager what an awful thought.
Other than that Madrid game when the cnut of a referee sent Nani off.
What's Bruno done? McT? Greenwood? Or is it just the usual Paul Pogba agenda again?Bring Cavani and Matic on.Just feels like Shaw, Pogba and Maguire are playing in slow motion.We really need a Matic type midfielder and better more attacking wing backs for this to work. We might as well play a superpragmatic defensive 5212 the way we're doing this now.Pogba is slow on the ball, can't link a f*ING thing.We are playing too wide. Need to narrow a bit up front. Or need to pass better across the pitch.I can’t believe some people on here are now using the excuse of a midweek CL game for this performance.Diamond formation at work.
Absolute pishMc tree off Donny on
bruno/Pogba off Cavani on
Change the shapeOur best player so fare? Maybe Fred.
Yep, my point exactly. How are Pogs, Bruno or Scott playing. Better?The players needs to show up in the second half. There's no urgency. Lots of errors as well. None of that is Solskjærs doing.
Arteta has nullified the diamond. That's something Solskjær needs to react to however.Cavani for Greenwood at HT. Ball is not sticking with him at all today. WeakWow we're terrible today. Can't string two passes together. We had what, one shot?
If we don't improve massively, a point will be a great result...
He’s looked to create a triangle with every pass basically slowing up our play. Needs to open up His body and move it forwardWe are going nowhere. Slowly.Why the hell did we start with Fred at the base? His best attributes are completely wasted thereImagining setting up like this against a team with Rob Holding and Elneny at its core.
Spineless.
They made 10 changes for today's game from Thursday's game.I think the biggest problem is Fred needs to be RCM as he instigates the pressing in midfield. Matic is the only player we have who can play the DM role and he can barely play more than once a week.Lucky to be 0 - 0 so let's make the most of that second half.
Formation needs changing.Dreadful half... Think only Rashford and Maguire have been any way towards decent.
Special mention for AWB who has been actively terrible.
I'd bring on Mata for McT and go 4-3-3That was absolutely woeful. Arsenal haven’t even pressed exceptionally well, we just haven’t moved the ball with a feckin ounce of speed.
Fred off Matic on, the former is on a yellow and having a howler considering how well he played mid week.Considering how we played, 0-0 is a good result so far.
We have been awful, players look so slow and half asleep. Something needs changing here.- Status
