Could have been worse.

Arsenal were pretty shit. I expected more from a team fighting for the title.

No urgency in the final minutes. Looks to me we gifted Arsenal the win so they have a chance to prevent City's fourth consecutive PL win.

Garnacho has signs of getting too big of himself and becoming too selfish for the team. Been trying pointless shots from difficult angles and distance when he should find other better options.

Good:
1. We conceded only one goal against Arsenal.
2. Amrabat was good.
3. Obana was decent


Bad:
1. Eric TH; awful as usual
2. Out play
3. Most players

Thanks Casemiro for slow walking out of the back to give away the goal

So sick of this. Doesn’t matter if it was a slightly better performance. Just no cutting edge.

You know you've got problems when you're relying on a 20 year old with questionable decision making.

What annoys me the most was how slow everything was. No quick touches in and around the box, just useless side way passes the players seem content to be making all game.

You know what. If we played more possession football like today, we would actually be doing better and likely having less injuries.
Arsenal sat back and let us have the ball knowing full well that we will do diddly squat with it. You could clearly see Arsenal do not play like this at all. They play with a lot more pressing. It’s clear the nerves of the final run-in was at play.

We had so much of the ball towards the end and did not test Raya even once. We were awful in attack.

Given what happened on Monday we all expected the worst today. At least we dug in and shown a little bit of fight ‍♂
Seriously though Bruno, Martinez, Rashford should only be rolled out at Wembley. Don’t bother before then!

Arsenal were fecking shit and won easily. Tbf no Bruno made a big difference I think but still. Is Mount fecking injured again or just dropped?

Probably for the best that Arsenal had zero interest in taking any risks. First United shot on target in the 68th minute. Dismal viewing, but better than a pasting I suppose.

Nervy and scared shitless Arsenal won without breaking sweat against a familiarly clueless United side.

This season is an abomination.

In Garnacho's boots but untied
Arsenal are title challengers!?!?

Tbh after the Palace mess, and the team put out today, did fear a heavy scoreline.

not much quality in final third, a bit toothless

Meh!!!
We'd have played them off the park with a full strength team.

They've had the same centre back pairing for 32 of last 33 games.

We've had 32 different back fours.

Playing Mctominay as a number 10 and expecting him to unlock a defence is lunacy. Arm him with a crowbar, sledge hammer and C4 and he still would be able to get past a sugar glass door.

Hojlund, Garnacho and Amad aren't ready to lead the attack yet. Casemiro has been past his best for a while. AWB is not a footballer. McT can't pass the ball forward. We simply did not have the quality to match. Maybe we could've got something with Bruno and Rashford.

Much better than I expected but probably plenty to do with Arsenal looking very poor.

We didn't get ruined, so that's the main positive for today. Quite a dull match, I thought.

Could've been worse, at the same time, we could've done more but we're so toothless in attack

This is because they do not practice this in training. I don’t think Eth knows how to coach those intricate movements and passes.

Was expecting nothing but left disappointed that United didn't get at least a draw as they deserved. Arsenal average no doubt in my mind a full strength United would have won that game today.

Get in, decent result. Expected a thrashing with our first 11. Arsenal weren't great but Casemiro sleeping gave them the win basically.

It's an expected loss like City away was. These aren't the problem, it's all the other games where we've been terrible.
