Friday Night Football. 22/12 Sky Sports

2 shit defences & 1 mentally frail home team make for a great spectacle.

great game to watch. Salah - superb ; Ozil - decent. Aside from that not too many to rave about. Maitland-Niles < borthers. Jones better than any centre half on offer.

United shouldn't be taking any pointers on how to play football from these two playing like a pair of under 11s sides ffs.

We've won more games, conceded less goals and scored more than them.

Shocking tracking of runners. West Brom level (and i wanted us to sign him!).

Thought Wilshire had a very good game, particularly 2nd half. Shame he is made of glass.

Didn’t matter what the result was, there will always be some turning it into a shit on Jose & or the players opportunity.

Doesn’t take much effort tbf. If last night proved anything, both of those teams are shit. Liverpool we’ve drawn the last 3 games against, barely getting off a shot in anger and arsenal played us off the park, after giving us a 2 goal headstart.

That and Mourinho knows how to grind out a result.

So the plan was for De Gea to touch the ball more than any other United player and for blind panic to set in whenever we had the ball anywhere on the pitch? Ok, cool. More of that please.

Nope - get a comfortable lead and laugh as they ping 57 shots into row z

De Gea made two excellent saves. Goalkeeper.

We wouldn’t have won if it wasn’t for Lingard, though

Should’ve scored 5.

Ah, you didn’t watch it. You should have said.

We earned our 2 goal lead just as Liverpool did, we were more resolute in defence & always maintained a threat on the break . How long was our lead cut to 1 goal ?

We were given the lead. You’re mistaking Arsenal’s defensive ineptitude for United’s attacking threat.

Every team considers goals conceded as mistakes. Liverpool’s goals were all results of poor defence & so were 2 of Arsenal’s.

That’ll be why we rarely score against anyone half decent, as they won’t simply give us goals.

Goals scored this season way better than previous 3 . I am not saying we are the finished product, but using Arsenals 3-3 draw against a very good attacking unit to try to discredit our 3-1 win there, their 1st home defeat in a long time, smacks of desperation.
