Rafael won more tackles in ten minutes than Anderson did all game. I just expect more of him. The young lad Rafael was the only one who showed some spirit and fight, aside from Park. That is not good enough. We lost to an Arsenal side that have their worst defence in 15 years. They will be nowhere near the title race imo. We have to start taking our chances and stop not winning games that we dominate in terms of possession. Id rather get outplayed and well beaten. There are two or three players in our squad that are untouchable in many people's eyes in terms of criticism. It's all well and good slagging Gary Neville to the high heavens but Anderson dominated the midfield at the emirates last year. His performance today offered nothing aside from the first 20 mins of the first half. I don't enjoy pointing the finger at all but we should have never been beaten by that shower of shite today. Half of their team had played together only once or twice before ffs. |

Anderson was alright in the first half, ran around a bit, moved forward on occasion, got in the way and showed good strength. However, his passing was poor, particularly going forward. Of the midfield 2, he was the one charged with supplementing the attack, joining up, creating and offering a threat, he does none of those things, has shown no sign of being capable of doing any of those things and is largely a passenger in United's team as a result. He is an attacking midfielder. Do you think he offers enough in this role to justify this label? If he is not a attacking midfielder, why is he there? I know there were no options today, but still. Darren Fletcher played in the same manner as Anderson today, admittedly with less strength, but with the same philosophy a few years ago ad was absolutely slaughtered in most quarters. Anderson has come in and become a hero, essentially because he won a few tussles of strength against Gerrard and Fabregas last season, It's unwarranted. |

Deep lying playmaker? Destroyer? Box to Box? He is supposed to play the role Scholes once filled, and Fletcher now does, driving forward, joining up with attacks, getting in the box and providing opportunities and a goal threat. He runs about bit, holds the ball well, occasionally driving forward with the ball threatening to start attacks but always petering out due to poor pass selection or execution. He brings nothing beyond the halfway line and is nothing,ore than adequate in his own half, with or without the ball. He needs to step up, but until it is accepted he is under performing it's not going to happen/ |

I thought Arsenal looked very, very ordinary. They huffed and puffed a lot but were just as poor as United in the second half. They'll get nowhere near the title. I just couldn't believe how lethargic United looked, especially after 60 minutes. Strolling about, no urgency until Rafael came on.
