Listening to Ten Hag post game, seems like the intent are never to drop off. He did lament the fact that we lost our composure after the disallowed goal and somehow couldn't get back to the way we played the first 15 minutes.
I think right now, like Ten Hag said, it's just a matter of players keeping their composure which is why I hope with every win we gain more confidence which will allow our players not to easily get rattled and have the confidence to play their football no matter what's happening.
Because xG is a useless statunderstat had the xG on Rashford's second as 0.52, and on Saka's goal as 0.47 - both looked almost certain goals, I would have guessed 0.75+. Does anyone know why it's so low?
Yeah, Malacia was clearly struggling against Saka despite all his efforts, but it was great to see that he was always backed by other players and there were 2-3 players most of the time to pick up after him, when he got beat.Lots of the players look so much better that it has been legitimately difficult to pick MotM for the last 4 matches. McTominay stuck out to me for the entire match, but ultimately I picked Rashford because 2 goals and an assist in a 3-1 match is difficult to beat.
I think there are legitimate arguments for McTominay, Eriksen and Bruno for MotM. Varane and Martinez were very good as well. The left side of the defence was beaten a few times but Saka is one of the best wide forwards in the PL, so I thought they did very well under the circumstances.
You could be right, it's subjective. The main thing is, it is a foul and all these pundits calling for VAR to be binned are more concerned with a decision going United's way than whether it was right.
Keane winding every one up:
“we’ve given arsenal a lot of plaudits today but I was never interested in that, I was interest in the points.”
Merson: “yeah but there’s a way to lose Roy, you don’t mind losing like that”
“oh great, have a sing along on the way home then”

Thick and or anti-United. You just know one of big calls for us will be biased by this
I just don’t think we are quite there yet. I don’t think we have the personnel either. I watched Arsenal pass and move today and I can’t say that I wouldn’t be surprised to see us play like that with any frequency.
Martial returning will make an enormous difference to this team though. Our attacking play will get significantly better once he’s back up front.

This was a real team win, defense was team efforst, every goal was a team effort, which makes it 10x more valuable.
Exactly thisHAHAHA, it is so enjoyable to see Arsenal Forum.
They kept saying that they played a dominated football (But 2 big chance created (We made 5) and only 3 shot on target(We made 6))
Arsenal have had way better games against us and lost.Gary Neville has managed to convince everyone that Arsenal were the better team - I disagree. They played prettier football in parts but we were incredibly effective in the way we approached the game and could have had more.
We didn't give them the clear chances they gave us. Yes they had more half chances but the only clear chance they had was a mistake by us.Great result and 4 wins in a row! We were a little fortunate to win this afternoon, I thought Arsenal were great in periods of the game, they just lacked the finishing touch and we exploited that excellently, especially Rashford and Fernandes. Great debut by Antony, a really fun display from him, reminds me so much of a young Nani so hope he develops into a similar player (the 2010-2011 version).
Nobody is going to want to play this bunch of skilful cnuts. Just like the old days.This was the validation we needed to show everyone United is back and we mean business. Validation feels soo damn good. Bring on the next one.
I posted it further backNo way, anyone have a video of this?
I can think of Jesus’s headed in the 1st half which forced a world class save, Saka’s shot which was a whisker wide in the 2nd and another header that Jesus had that went over the bar from point blank range, so there’s 3 clear chances they had. It was typical Arsenal in the sense that they might have created a few more if they weren’t so persistent in trying to walk out in.We didn't give them the clear chances they gave us. Yes they had more half chances but the only clear chance they had was a mistake by us.
Aha and I feel genuine excitement when I think about the next game because I know they'll go out there and play their hearts out. This just goes to show how a change in attitude and the right signings can affect a team's mindset.Nobody is going to want to play this bunch of skilful cnuts. Just like the old days.
I feel like I must have been watching a different incident when I hear people arguing that it wasn’t a foul….Odegaard clearly and visibly puts his HANDS on Eriksen and PUSHES him. Not a shoulder, no contact made with the ball…he just shoved him with his hands. That is a direct free kick. There is not even an arguement.Thought we got a bit lucky on their cancelled goal. But all in all we deserved to win, I think. We got some grit back in the team. Antony good debutant. Dalot and Mc Tominay good again. Eriksen man of the match for me. Exiting game.
Good point + I thought DDG should have come off his lines earlierThat was cuz Varane turned the ball over and ended in a transition for Arsenal.
And clipped him at the same time!He literally pushes him off the ball. There is contact sport and there is that.
Can't stand these idiot pundits.
Everyone shitting on ETH in matchday thread need to feck off.
We are Manchester United!
It’s just English media bullsh*ts.Have absolutely no idea how they think that isn’t a foul. Odegaard literally went through the back of him.
It's really confusing, this was an example of VAR working sell.Have absolutely no idea how they think that isn’t a foul. Odegaard literally went through the back of him.
