MUFC v Arsenal Match Thread - 8pm - BT

Disappointing considering Arsenal didn't turn up for 70 minutes (yet still managed to score twice against us). In some ways fortunate as well as they came at us fairly strong towards the end but didn't have the quality/luck to get through, also let us right back in after Rojo's mistake.

Two poor teams, but unlike us Arsenal know they can do better.

I'm not complaining.

We're shit. Our striker has given up. Our star midfielder is a virus.

And we still saw some goals!

I thought both teams were crap. Best league in the world.

Had no idea how to engineer a chance with Lukaku up front. Not one £#%&!ing clue. Slung Fellaini up front. Still no idea. Just kick it towards them lads and see what happens.

Disgusting.

Bizaare game, BT trying to hype it up but it was a low end scrap for most of it, with most of the genuine quality coming from Arsenal.

Better energy from the team but the lack of anything resembling cohesion or style continues. To be fair tonight with all the players playing through injuries or just coming back it could have been worse.

Arsenal were pretty crap, just goes to show you in this league that a positive mindset and a few risks can gain results.

What an abysmal standard of football match that was
Hardly any decent coherent football but what there was came from Arsenal

Anyway an “honorable” draw for plucky underdog Manchester United so the Jose train can keep trundling along

Meh

What happened to his defensive touch? I don't even mean that in a bad way.....we can barely keep a clean sheet this season.

Pretty much agree with all of that.

Just to add that spell second half where two United defenders and Matic just passed it to each other, then Jose came belting down the steps pointing in the direction of Arsenal's goal. £#%&! was all that about? I don't for a minute believe Jose wants the ball anywhere near that defence (see Rojo) so are they ignoring him?

There is £#%&! all guile or imagination in the midfield at the minute, even with Pogba there. Don't generate any momentum going forwards and at no point to see what I'd call a sustained bit of pressure pushing a team back creating chance after chance. It's depressing.

So that's a new attack needed, new midfield and new defence.

decent 1st half and pretty shite 2nd half.

both teams are shite, not sure how Arsenal have gone 20 games unbeaten ffs if they had anything about them they should have won, we left so much at the back with a bit more quality they could have picked us off.

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?

Pogba, January? £#%&!ing hope so.

Quick question, Phil Jones is injured (again). How the £#%&! did that happen he played on Saturday didn't he?

Enjoyed that good to see Eric back Dalot needed cover save redeemed himself bar his £#%&!
Up thought Rojo did well hope martial isn’t
Out
Long

Goal difference still negative.

Play like that and we might just scrape a hard fought win over Fulham.

Plucky underdogs United

Moaning @#%&!s. Brilliant game.

Arsenal trying to score, United trying not to let them?

Whatever floats your boat pal

If their LB has any sort of quality on the ball they piss that. He had the freedom of that side 2nd half and £#%&!ed it up every time and set Jesseh up for the equaliser
