Why is it we always concede these stupid sort of goals against Utd.

 

[JamesH85]

What a header haha, about the only thing he could do with that.

 

[manic111]

Poor from Ramsdale, but a good header

 

[Thekwango]

What a game.

 

[Ayahuasca]

Great game this.

It is almost mirror image. Two wonder strikes and two clangers.

Yeah, people don’t seem to realise that a lot of goals are “mistakes” in one way or another.

 

[booyaka]

Belter of a game - Like the old school Arsenal v Man Utd games

He's done well with Saka tbf, there's a strong argument that he's been our best player in the last 2 tournaments

I would give you the World Cup but he barely did anything in the euros. That's not a strong argument at all. Fat Shaw had a better tournament than he did, so did Sterling.

 

[adam cool dude]

I keep getting Mcsauce and Weghorst mixed up. One of them needs to either grow their hair or dye it!

 

[fez]

Rashford still needs to learn that the team comes first and you need to look for your teammates as much as looking for goal.

 

[md85]

Great game, can't help but feel we (United) are there for the taking though. Midfield not doing enough on the defensive side, really missing Casemiro there, and the right wing not very effective this half. One of Eriksen/McTominay needs hooking. I'd swap Garnacho for Weghorst, Pellistri for Antony and Fred for McTominay (he'll probably go for Eriksen though).

Need subs on to keep the energy at the right level.

McSauce is the one hiding from the ball whenever we have it near the back.

Yup, for all his goals he still needs to learn when to pass.

Eh? Didn't he literally get voted England's best player in the tournament? We won a turgid 1-0 against Croatia and drew 0-0 with Scotland without him, and he then came into the side and we improved dramatically

 

[Converge]

As Fez has said in the past, Rashford seems to think he can pass through players at times. It’s annoying and wasteful.

 

[JamesH85]

Feel like Arsenal are turning the screw here.

Think of it this way if we can get a point with Casemiro, Sancho, Dalot, DVB and Martial all missing that is a result in itself. Arsenal only have Jesus out and are pretty much full strength at home.

I honestly thought we would be 30 ISH percent possession but we are keeping them honest.

 

[McBain]

Has mctominay touched the ball? He offers literally nothing.
