    Of course Rashford has been awful. He has been pretty much every time he's played this season. It's beyond me why he gets a pass for consistently sh&t performances. He's got the willpower of corpse.
     
    Rashford just needs to switch wings with Sancho. How many times playing on the right has he been anonymous in games this season, put him on the left and he’s a different player,
     
    I'm sorry but it's funny. Ole gone but the coaches remain. The coaches continue to pick Mcfred. How the hell has Fletcher got to coaching on the bench here. Another one learning on the job. Get them all out. Haven't kept a clean sheet at home in 15 matches.
     
    Our pressing has been fantastic. Arsenal are struggling to hold onto the ball, we're winning all the second balls. Just need to click on the final pass.
     
    Anyone but Martial for Rashford.

    He's still sleep walking, has been for a long time.
     
    If Rashford was on the left we wouldn't have scored. Keep him on the right or better yet - on the bench.
     
    Rashford has never been disciplined or coached correctly and it really shows.

    McT has been orders of magnitude better than Fred - has won the ball more, given it away less, Fred got the assist for us but that's cancelled out by getting the assist for them.

    You are kidding, we cannot attack with McT, every ball he gets its a guaranteed slow the play down backwards or sidewards pass, 99% of the time. Fred has been bad but i'd rather have another Fred on the pitch than this useless waste of space, absolute fraud, the worst midfielder we've ever had play as a regular first teamer for this club

    why does partey only want to play against us?

    Because majority of the midfields he comes up against every week is rarely as poor as Mcfred.

    Two very ordinary teams, we’ve been so badly mismanaged for three years we’re making it look like Arteta has made them a lot better than they actually are.
     
    We are playing quite high up the field which is refreshing for once. No idea why Rashford is on the right. We are winning some balls quite high up the field, get him on the left so he can take advantage of that
     
    Rashford quiet, oh Cavani would have been nice to bring on. Same 11 at start of 2nd . Then few changes.

    Honestly not a bad half. I think Arsenal have been terrible. We just couldn't create much. Great goal to equalize.

    We can win this easily.

    If you stop playing at 100mph they are there for the taking.
    They keep allowing space behind their two full backs but you don’t seem willing to attack that space and draw one of the two CD out instead when your wide players get the ball in that space they seem to want to attack the heart of their defence and keep running into traffic.
     
    Thought Arsenal would be playing better than this given their recent form, but their goal seems to have pushed them back deeper. We're playing poor too, mind. Carrick needs to actually manage the game here and make a few tweaks

    Rashford has been awful. He should be taken off at halftime.

    Goal aside, we’ve been many different flavors of terrible. This is as bad as any match we’ve been this season, Arsenal just aren’t that good.

    Arsenal are there for the taking.

    As much as I despise McFred, we need to keep them both on. The right sub off is Rashford, either for Greenwood or Donny.
     
    The comedy goals we concede could comprise an entire blooper tape. Honestly, I don't think anyone let's in so many stupid goals. It's good we have the attacking talent to get back into it but how can we have faith in better, knowing one of our own may take out DeGea at any time?
     
    Two arsenal forwards can occupy our whole back line and cut off passing lanes to our two midfielders...we send 5 players forward to press Arsenals backline are we are taken out with two passes...it’s fuking embarrassing
     
    Sancho was our best player in the first half. He's possibly the most intelligent player in our squad. Always looking for an off the ball run and then moving to try and get the pass back.

    Our goal came from him delaying his pass and waiting until Fred stretched Arsenal's defence.
     
    For those slamming on Rashford, he has never been great on the right. He's always been best up front or on the left, and he plays best on the left with Shaw. I don't think Rashford and Dalot have much chemistry with knowing where each other are and it's shown a fair bit. I wouldn't say Rashford is a bad player if he's playing in his third (fourth? idk about ACM) preferred position. Not sure on the game plan but I would favour Greenwood or Sancho on the right, personally.

    Half-time.

    Arsenal are pretty shit to be honest, I'm a little bit surprised actually.

    i’m not. Their midfield is worse than ours. Get vdb on and try to control the game. We are currently random up front, not organisation. Long balls. Vdb for mctominay
     
    At least Fred somewhat made up for injuring Degea on the opener with a decent assist.

    Mediocre contest that United need to pick up the three points from 2nd half.
     
    The fact we're playing this same 4-2-4 with the same players makes me start to wonder if Ole was responsible for it in the first place
     
    Explanation for the goal is just to protect anyone in charge of anything. Beyond stupidity.

    I get you, players should only ever go down if they need to be taken off. :rolleyes:

    Your opinion is just daft. You've decided he's down because he's soft rather than the actual events.
    Click to expand...

    Goalkeepers have a pretty important job to do mate. And going down and trusting the ref to be sympathetic is cowardly.

    He is soft, it’s been a pattern for years. It’s some of the most pathetic play I’ve seen on a pitch. To see him up standing seconds later, disgusting.

    rashford has been below par for a while now. At some point, would like to see greenwood come in for him

    Thought you were talking in general, fair enough. If an outfield player is down it’s common to keep playing.
    Click to expand...
    It's just the complete lack of consistency. I'm all for play continuing when a keeper goes down if it's not a head injury, if it's applied consistently. You can even see from Atkinson's reaction that he was about to blow when he noticed DDG was down.
     
    McTominay has been very good again, despite the ever so tedious whining, a monster in the press, winning lots of tackles, everything in the air, but as usual with MCFred, one of them struggling means the other is shite as well.
