I’m convinced we are the team most likely to knock them out of the CL over 2 legs.

Jose must love Jones. Jones does the last ditch stuff naturally but now we have smalling doing the same.

Just wish the idiot would stop shirt tugging

Two fre kicks conceded just outside the box and I missed 30 mins of the second half. Mostly unnecessary and ineffective.

Said from the start the title is probably a year too soon but wouldn’t rule big ears out

f*** was wrong with Mustafi? Just didn’t fancy it?

I’ve honestly never seen him have a good game. I’ve no idea where his reputation comes from.

Yes, we were £#%&!ing wretched without him in the team and he's got two assists there again today at Arsenal. He's a huge miss, our best player by a mile.

However, if you look at the goal Arsenal scored today it's because Pogba didn't bother tracking Ramsay's run . What he gives us in attack, we lose a bit in defense with him there.

That's what's going to win or lose us the game next weekend against City, our defence. because make no mistake about it, they're going to have most of the ball and we're going to need to be super switched on to deal with the amount of movement and bodies they commit forward.

We can't afford any of Rojo's trademark thicko challenges around the penalty area and we can't afford our players simply not bothering to track midfield runners. I wish we had another option to go in there apart from Herrera because I honestly don't see what he does right now.

Jose has destroyed far better teams than city.

He has to be given a specific job next week now Pogbas not going to be available. I’d have him pick up Silva (David) and niggle him to death tbh

Boring utd.
Best game I have watched this season by a mile. Brilliant counter attacking & dogged defence . I haven't read comments here but am I the ono;y one who thinks Pogba's red was very harsh ? If the bun headed #@&%! tried to tackle with his feet & not his thigh it wouldn't have looked as bad & would have got the yellow it deserved

I think the headbutt on Matic from Koscielny was later & more dangerous. Not sure why head clashes are not penalised when they are as late as Kos was in this one.

Andy Gray Ian Wright and David Platt all say no red.

I can't decide, the more I watch it the more I think Bellerin did it to himself

Just read a lot of the comments on other threads . Watched it on BT & Pogba got no defence from any of pundits, even Rio. I just don't know how they couldn't see Bellerin was injured because of his own actions as much as Pogbas. Like getting kicked in the head trying a diving header .

Just watched the highlights and thought the exact same thing.

Just watcched motd and, surpise, shearer thinks it was a red.

First time ive seen it and no way was it a red. Bellerin put himself in a dangerous position by trying to tackle a sprinting man by kneeling down and placing his unprotected calf horizontally on the floor. What was pogba to do? The ball was there to be won, he clearly went for the ball and took a natural step. Is he supposed to levitate away? Accidentally hurting somebody doing something that stupid isnt a red.

Agree koscielny is tripe and has a head like beaker.

Martial’s flick :mmmonkey:

Something about when we play in black imo... Anyone got any STATS
