That is going to happen. Arsenal have been on top in midfield and have spent more time in our half, which means more time for Jesus to be on the ball near the box.
Rashford is mostly having to make runs onto long passes since the beginning.

Whether asked to or not, hope he turns out of be a brilliant player for us but also one that's refined in his play (unless he has insane output or something)15mins was great, then we drop deeper after there non goal as if we can get caught on break here. Need to control the game a bit more in 2nd half. It was clear foul on Eriksen so no complaints I don't give a shit what people say.
Come on lads no sloppy play and more control of the game.What's wrong with these pundits, they're saying Eriksen wasn't fouled and it was soft. He got pushed for Pete sakes.
That's legit the only thing he has done this entire game though.
his flicks and back heels are so annoying! he loses the ball 9/10 just get hold of it and pass it to the winger ffsState of hasselbaink. If odegaard doesn't foul him, he's about to spray a long pass. He just blatantly obstructs this without even kind of touching the ball. Should have been given in real time and nobody would even have blinkedHasselbank can feck off and concentrate on Burton or whoever he is managing
Other than Keane, what a shit list of punditsI would echo what many have said and replace Fernandes with CasemiroIt would’ve been 1-1 still if not for de Gea save from a close ranged header. It was a 0.7xg shot I think
Push in the back, kicks out his leg from under him, doesn’t touch the ball. It’s a foulI don't know why you listen to these pundits
We have more important things to think about like the upcoming 45 minutes. Arsenal will be all guns blazing so hope our lads stay focused!99 times out of 100 that's given as a foul in midfield and nobody bats an eye. Just because it leads to a goal doesn't mean that it's not a foul.
Hasslebank is never going to side with us anyway. He probably thinks if was a foul on Mendy anyway, complete clown.
I would say it was *just* a foul, and a bit debatable, so understandable I think.Eriksen was kicked mid pass attempt, Arsenal player made zero contact with the ball, that’s a foul any day of the week.Biggest sign we’re improving is that pundits are hating on us. Gotta love that.
they’re talking like you can run around the pitch pushing players over and not touch the ball HE IS BEING PAID FOR THIS
I know what you mean, he did seem a bit tense tbf.
Absolute joke discussing that. He rams into him from behind, doesn't get anything of the ball, 100% foul any day of the week, how the ref even needed to look at it for more than 10 seconds is beyond me.
It's a guy who when my Wycombe boys battered his team (Burton) 3-0 with some great strikes, he had the audacity to claim we'd got lucky.Sky sports punditry is very poor. I dont usually watch sky sports but can't believe the level being ex players.
Btw Antony showing no 7 to the camera?Piss off Jimmy Floyd!!

They replayed the incident a bunch of times. It should have been at least a yellow.Bruno needs to circulate the ball more and stop wasting possession so cheaply. When you have both Rashford and Bruno where they lose the ball cheaply it gets very frustrating.
One of them needs to be subbed, get Casemiro for Bruno, push Eriksen forward and maybe later sub in Fred for him. Get Ronaldo in at some point maybe.
Our weak areas are obvious. We are very poor at playing out from the back, and when we do get the ball we need to be a bit more patient. Push them back, circulate the ball more and build pressure that way. The limitations of some of these players is obvious.Good to go in 1 up at the break but not sure its been deserved. They’ve had far too much joy down our left side and Jesus is causing way too many problems for Varane and Martinez.
They looked quicker and stronger all over the pitch after the first 10 mins. Hopefully we can get greater hold of the game in the second half because I can see them creating plenty of chances.McTominay is good today really, it's like a different person from McTominay who played against Brighton or last season.I'd actually sub Sancho and move Rashford wide. Might even be better for us to sub Sancho in place of Casemiro and shift Bruno wide left.
Yeah I think Malacia is playing it safe, especially in this game given the ability of Saka.Hasselbaink is something special
It's more the long balls. Jesus is actually challenging and making Varane put his arms all over him and will eventually get him a yellow. Rashford won't bother.
He's even done a push motion, double handed on him too.
It was surely a foul even in their "era" too!
Not only that.
That was his passing leg.
If someone had booted or covered his right leg a second before some of his bangers, they wouldnt be bangers!
When you’ve got Hasselbank and Merson in there Keane is going to look like a mastermindAntony scoring and us winning 1-0 for me, would be 84m well spent. Absolutely anything to shut up my Arsenal friends who have become borderline imaginary serial winners with seasoned title winners in their squad.
I dont think we are playing well BUT, it’s Arsenal, innit?
To be honest it's a thought after two adventurous decisions. Otherwise delighted with a goal on his debut.Watching a different channel and Michael Owen has said it’s definitely a foul and possibly not a foul for Martinelli’s goal…We need to kill this game, they ain’t no Leicester where we can sit on a 1 nil lead.Why these idiots discussing a foul so much?Sancho has been bleak. Ronaldo on for him to run at the end of Anthony's crosses.- Status
