Manchester United 3:2 Arsenal

Post-match discussion


Sun, 28 February 2016

The kids just did it... normally, it was 2:8 for Arsenal. Instead, they just won 3:2, and could have scored more. It's unbelievable. And I love the fact that at 85mn, Lindgard, Memphis, Mata or Januaz were smart enough to not reproduce the Chelsea mistake and keep the ball near Arsenal's touch line. I mean, if that's not footballing progress, what is it? Oh Christ they made me shed a tear today.

For the right reason
 
Blimey, Souness absolutely tearing into Arsenal, " tippy-tappy football" :lol:.

With the team we had out, they should have gone for the jugular...was Walcott even on the pitch?

On paper Arsenal should have ripped us a new one today. But the kids were simply awesome. No fear and just took it to them. Played like United. Give LVG full credit too. He got the tactics spot on.

Like he says, it's a process. We've made some terrible mistakes but we've had rotten luck too...not all of it has been down to LVG
 
Anyone got a vid of his post-match interview yet?
 
What the hell went through his mind in that particular moment :lol: ?
He said he was searching for the right word...without being offensive of course.

Can you imagine the Liverpool side he played turning up at OT and seeing our line up. They would have sensed blood and ripped into us

Well, I'm still LVG out camp but if he does turn it around many including me would have no problem apologising to him. Today was just uplifting. That LVG dive still making me laugh.
 
Come on guys. Not one tweet of piers Morgan is posted? I'm disappointed :p
 
Tactically spot on today so fair play to LvG and I'm loving the Rashford dream, long may it continue but the reemergence of Depay' confidence is also great to see and hopefully continues. Lets put Watford in their place next, hopefully Smalling and CBJ back for that one and build on this. TFM looked good on his debut, looks like he'll be some player in the future. Overall a good week with some belief and desire being shown.
 
Made my weekend. Great week all around. I probably won't me such a miserable cock at work tomorrow now.

Rashford. :drool: Varela. :drool:
 
For how much longer are we going discuss "naivety" with regard to Arsenal? 5 years ago, when they're legitimately putting out a young side, yeah, it's fitting. But now? All of those players have been around the block multiple times; there shouldn't be any naivety there.
 
Platt looked distraught. Or maybe it's because his face is too big for it's skin.
 
Post match presser please. I'm buzzing to hear what van Gaal has to say. And about the dive too. :drool:.
 
I loved Roachford's post match interview, he's just giggling.
