Arsenal 1:1 Manchester United

Post-match discussion


Sun, 12 January 2025

Really happy for Bayinder and a few of the other underperforming lads. They all did themselves proud today.
 
Potentially foundational performance (like the Pool one last week). Outstanding performance and dare I say mentality monsters?
 
Amorim's instilled so much fight in this team already, give him a few decent signings in summer and we're looking good.
 
Knew we'd do it as soon as he saved that pen.

Arsenal wouldn't have scored in 9, 000 mins

Attitude of the players is unrecognisable, heads didn't drop despite everything going against us

Arsenal had the better chances but we dug in and deserved the win in the end.
 
One of the best United performances in the post-Fergie era. Absolutely heroic. Hopefully there is enough energy for Southampton on Thursday which we must absolutely win no excuses.
 
Heroes the lot of them. To fight off the horrible officiating and beat Arsenal at their ground with 10 men, glorious.
 
What a game... I knew we'll win this when Havertz missed the 2nd sitter.... Who allows him to take a pen after such a game?! I thought, we played well. Liverpool performance was way better but we didn't lose our heads which is definitely a good thing. Well done to everybody. Games goes into my book though as a loss for Arsenal rather than a win for us.
 
3 best United players today:

1) Maguire
2) Bruno
3) Bayindir

3 worst United players today:
1) Dalot
2) Højlund
3) No one
 
Amorim went straight down the tunnel after the pens. Hopefully straight onto the phone to the club to get in touch with the PGMOL.
 
Proudest I've been of the team this season!

Came up huge as a unit today.

Actually looked like a United team of yore.
Going away to big sides and not being worried about being pasted is so refreshing.
 
So proud of this team. This is what we can do and this is the standard we need to keep up.

12v10, what a performance
 
What a great call first by Ruben to put Altay in there.

Great performance from the team. Liverpool Arsenal are big games. Let’s go bring that passion against Southampton
 
Beat Arsenal and the Ref.
Well done to the players, they really stepped up.
Away support were excellent.
Well done Bayindir, take a bow.
 
Showed real character. The three centre backs were excellent and the goalkeeper (minus the kicking) was MotM.

Still think we would have won it in normal time if Dalot hadn’t been sent off.
 
What a performance!

The performance at Liverpool is no fluke.

We have finally turned the corner.

Progress.
 
Fantastic defensive performance. 2 really good results. We need to back this up vs Southampton with a good win. Get 2025 off to a good start.
 
feckin brilliant from the boys today, despite the ref doing everything he possibly could to help Arsenal along. Come on Umited!!!
 
So proud of the lads. Given by far the hardest draw when everyone else was getting the likes of Accrington and Tamworth. Faced a biased ref and media who are desperate for their darling Arsenal to go through. Most satisfying victory since Fergie.
 
We’ve struck on something here. Post match last week Amorim threw down the gauntlet to show that desire week in week out. Boy was there desire out there today. Warrior like to a man.
 
Get in!

Great desire from the lads, before and especially after the red card.

Wonderful, Keown having to do the draw as well :lol:
 
Arsenal is not winning anything again. Mentality wins games, United must have believe. Amorim's results against top team is impressive. As long as some 2-3 key signings, we would be back to the top. Hoijund isn't someone to lead our front line, almost zero contribution in the whole game let alone attempts.
