MUFC v Arsenal Match Thread - 8pm - BT

Dalot looks suspect going back but he's young and hasn't played many games, hopefully Mourinho sticks with him, going forward he looks much much better than Young.

Mourinho's subs killed the game imo. don't think Fellaini was needed at all would have preferred to see Lingard stay and one of Matic or Herrera come off for Mata or Pogba.

talking about Pogba...he looked stroppy as £#%&! didn't he? gone in January?

Thought he looked sheepish. Chastened.

He's nobody to blame but himself. Though I'm sure we'll not hear the end of it when he's finally £#%&!ed off. 'Jose ruined my life'.

Wonder if his fat pimp is still touting him around?

Fun gruel.

They haven't beaten us at OT since the 2006/07 season, that's a pretty remarkable stat really.

Yep, best we've played in a while. Till the subs anyway. More of that and people might cheer up.

What a £#%&!ing mess. Can’t fault the effort, but where the £#%&! is the quality? Mistake after mistake after mistake. Surely this can’t be all we have.

Jesus christ our standards have well and truly evaporated. It looked to me like two teams - one above average, one bang average, just running around on pure adrenaline with no real idea of how they were going to manage the game.

United were utterly spent in that last 15 mins and had no idea how to push on and win the game with the players they had on the pitch.

£#%&! me. Manchester. £#%&!ing. United.




If you enjoyed the game, good for you. But you're like someone who's been fed stale bread for a year and someone has offered you an out of date cheese sandwich. You'll take what you can get.

Running around and putting an effort in is not something to write home about. City, Liverpool, Spurs do that shit as a £#%&!ing bare minimum and unlike us they know how to incorporate it into their game rather than running like headless chickens and racking up yellow cards.

8th. £#%&!ing 8th. No wins in a month, worse defence than Palace, Wolves, Leicester, Newcastle, West Ham and Watford. Just 4 more wins than bottom of the table Fulham.

Absolute unforgivable garbage.

sorry but half of the team are playing injured 1 hasnt kicked a ball since the world cup one made full pl debut one hasnt kicked a ball in 2 months one has played his 3rd game in around 6 months .. not sure what you expected rinus but thought the team as a whole performed aswell as what was expected and no matter how you paint it up we gifted them both goals .. to look at it any other way is slightly churlish of you pal

The arsenal disallowed cheeky headeder jib should have stood..

Or have the specific rules changed ?

I'm shocked you have used the word 'churlish' more than anything tbh.

Was it word of the day in the Beano or something?

Bravo.

Matic getting MOTM was bizarre

Still fuming that our subs took any chance of winning away. Lingard had to stay on - Pogba showed no urgency whatsoever when he came on and Lukaku showed how much he holds us back and the contrast between him and Martial. Absolute horse shit goals to give away but it's a £#%&!ing telling situation when you are certain a Man United just aren't going to get a winner in the last 15 minutes.

Southampton was bizarre in that respect too, but for a different reasons. We pull it back to 2-2 and then sit on the result. Hardly any urgency shown. In both games the United ethos was totally £#%&!ing absent. Being two goals down used to meant that it'd at least be interesting before we went on to win. £#%&!ing state of us ffs.

If it wasn't him who was it? Nobody had a good game. From either team.

Brutal but accurate.

Could've had Aubamayang or Lacazette for less than Lukaku

It's not the resources, it's who is using them, going back to Fergie and his 'value' %@#$&!s we, as a club, just aren't working hard enough to find and secure talented players, it's like we expect clubs to do it for us and we'll just pay the premium.

Manchester United: Have fans reluctantly accepted their team's 'B-List' status?

You're absolutely right, it was just a one-off poor performance and in no way indicative of any larger issues.
