Arsenal v Manchester United : Match Thread : 3/9/'23 4:30pm

I like that white Benetton top the lad in our end is wearing. Lovely.

Ok that. Grew into it. Got to get gloves off. Might aswell play my mum who’s been dead for years.

You cheeky bastard

Annoying that we lost concentration but good half.

Decent enough.

Eriksen, Antony, Dalot and Martinez playing well

We’ve got to get Martial off now and not wait until the hour, he kills us. I’d also take Wan off for the Spanish lad. Although I think Dalot is doing well against Saka, Bissaka has been awful.

Spotted that. Next to a Denton reds flag too rather than some no mark town down south. Chelmsford ffs.

Don’t know if they intended on keeping the ball as much as possible not threading it through and waiting for later on in the game or if there’s just no space to pass the ball but would be nice if we tried to penetrate a bit more.

Almost boring pep football at the back.

Rashford took our goal well, but standard tits let their concentration slip and conceded. Lindelof is a moron too, cheap easy yellow he is on , will have to watch himself

Antony’s been good mind you

A lot better after their goal. Our goal us a bit belief. We starting getting Eriksen on the ball more and hitting the forwards earlier.

Probably the most pleasing aspect js that we didn’t completely go to shit after they scored.

A few need a rocket up their arse, as ever, but there’s something for us here if we stay switched on.

I can’t wait til Hojlund is starting games regularly instead of Martial

Antony got better as the half went on

We've been better since the goals

I'll be amazed if Martial comes back out. I hate him.

That was not decent enough. We scored a great goal and a couple of times managed to pass the ball around in their half. The rest of the game was played around our penalty area.

I'd rather have Ashley Young back and up front than Martial. Absolute disgrace.

I really miss old football. I know it wasn't as sophisticated but £#%&!ing hell it was more exciting than watching 40 passes in your own penalty area before hoofing it up the £#%&!ing pitch.

That forward line is as dysfunctional as it gets, there's no coordination or appreciation of where anyone is. Martial is just floating about doing nothing as usual.

Anyone else notice back to back Jack and Beanstalk themed adverts then?

Not at all. Eriksen looks to be the right choice for that pass alone. We’re still struggling to involve our midfield though.

And he arguably was culpable for their goal.

Eriksen has no idea where he was or where he was supposed to be for that Arsenal goal

Good pass for the goal. At fault for the equaliser. Largely £#%&!ing useless due to his lack of athleticism.
