Hi Wayne.

Think it was Colleen.

 

[Rado_N]

Is it safe to put the coverages back on?

 

[ha_rooney]

Still no Schneiderlin....

 

[Ixion]

I hate international breaks but at least there is a break after this.

 

[iAm20Legend]

Started with the wrong midfield. We needed Schneiderlin in there along with either Carrick or Schweinsteiger. Not both against Arsenal. We should have started a counter attacking game and soak the pressure but in stead we gave them plenty of space in midfield and they punished us. I was worried with our midfield from the start and unfortunately this is how it has turned out.

Yup, starting with the two old guys in the centre of the park wasn't a bright idea

 

[evra]

How long do we have left on Rooney's contract? Complete passenger.

 

[Kidders]

As bad as Rooney has been, for once he's not the worst out there, Young, Memphis & BFS have been shocking while Darmien,Carrick, Blind & Mata have been poor, hard to comment on DDG so it's only Martial who looks half decent

 

[Annihilate Now!]

Liverpool at home despite their form was also a test to be fair.

It was, until they were completely crap and arrived at Old Trafford not wanting to win the game.

 

[glazed]

Started with the wrong midfield. We needed Schneiderlin in there along with either Carrick or Schweinsteiger. Not both against Arsenal.

Agree with this. But they are just much better than us anyway.

 

[NK86]

Just one of those days where everything that can go wrong has gone wrong.

 

[sizzling sausages]

Darmian and Memphis off. No idea what formation we'll play now. A diamond maybe?

 

[Jazz]

Nothing to do with losing, it's the way in which we're losing which is absolutely disgraceful. There is simply no excuse for the way we collapsed. Players AND the manager need to take a look at themselves for me.

Pretty sure they will. They have no choice.

 

[Will Singh]

LVG did not prepare for this game like Wenger who rested players and had a extra day to rest. We need to use youngsters in other comps and take the PL more seriously

 

[RDCR07]

Is one of their players wearing different coloured boots? Christ on a fecking bike.

Cazorla.

 

[2 man midfield]

I knew I had a bad feeling about this. I felt it in my gallbladder.

 

[Drifter]

Plan B!

 

[mu4c_20le]

Felli time. Be afraid Arsenal, be very afraid.

 

[jimmyb2000]

3 nil down and chasing the game and we bring on Fellaini and Valencia. Is Moyes still in charge?

 

[Needham]

Understandable changes

 

[2mufc0]

If we don't get a goal in the next ten minutes, we should play for damage control, no benefit in getting thrashed 5-0.

 

[Dobbs]

But it's also our first real big test of the season. I think it would be remiss to just write this off as a freak... we clearly need to a) learn from this and b) accept we're probably not quite as good as we thought we were 24 hours ago.

Agree.

Learning should be easy. If you play a very slow midfield three against quality you'll struggle defensively.

Accepting we're not as good as we thought should be easy as well. We struggled against Wolfsburg and there was nothing in that game to suggest today would be straightforward.

 

[Von Mistelroum]

These are not the right subs. LVG doesn't do sensible things...

 

[Boycott]

COME ON FELLAINI

 

[jazza13]

Christ on a bike! I stayed up till 5 am to watch this abject performance? And now I'm too feckin riled up to get any sleep!

 

[2 man midfield]

Still no Schneiderlin?

 

[Moriarty]

Arsenal were good and the finishes was clinical - so for them it's one of those days where they're going in. We need to halves much better. I'm disappointed at the lack of someone on the touchline telling the players to calm it down. To keep repeating mistakes is stupid.

Once they bypassed our static midfield, they shredded us, not once but three times. Their defence hasn't broken sweat yet. We've got to speed things up.

 

[MajorTom]

Got a good feeling about this second half.

 

[Mystry]

So who is going where? Rooney wide left?

 

[MadMike]

Well he needed to change something and he did. Not thrilled with the changes but let's see how it plays out

 

[iAm20Legend]

Yay! Hoofball time ?

 

[AltiUn]

3 nil down and chasing the game and we bring on Fellaini and Valencia. Is Moyes still in charge?

Fell is more of an attacking threat and Val has pace and strength which is really needed when dealing with Sanchez.

 

[rednev]

Darmian off for Valencia? Surely it would have been better to take Young off?

Now we have two wingers as full backs.

 

[hp88]

So let's try Rooney on the wing, that's this best position right?

 

[Raw]

So who is going where? Rooney wide left?

Martial left maybe?

 

[MAME DIOUF 32]

How long do we have left on Rooney's contract? Complete passenger.

Looks like he's being to made to play on the left so expect a transfer request soon.

 

[Ozio]

Now we have 3 midfielders in the back 4, great.

 

[Damien]

LVG did not prepare for this game like Wenger who rested players and had a extra day to rest. We need to use youngsters in other comps and take the PL more seriously

The other competition was the Champions League. Lose that and we'd be bottom of our group.

 

[DevilRed]

First hurdle in a gauntlet of difficult fixtures and we have already fallen badly.

We could end up with 1 point or less in the next 3 fixtures if this naivety continues. Cant see us beating everton away from home either. We just don't seem to understand how to win on our opponents ground.

 

[Dans]

Fellaini on.

Well, that's me turning off then.

Hopeless

 

[sglowrider]

Doesnt look like we have a plan B

 

[Manny]

Waynes been told to stay wide and out of the way so he don't feck shit up
