Hit the ball Ramsey.

'Mon Arsenal. More smash. More kill.

Ramsey is still doing a lot of messing.

It always feels that way when you're getting hammered and trying to play back into a game. I speak from experience.

Yet another Fellaini foul.

Lord TSC

Poor Martial. Seems to be the only one actually trying to fight for the goal

Utd look better at the back this half anyway since Darmian went off.

Need a goal asap

Liam O

Bringing on Fellaini regained control of the midfield but the lack of attackers meant that chances haven't really come. Carrick or Schwein should have come off 10 mins ago for Wilson.

Arsenal need to be careful here. They're inviting pressure onto themselves. One goal back here, and the nerves might kick in.

tayto lover

Arsenal just running down the clock now.

tayto lover

Gibbs FFS. Not long enough for him to do us any damage.

MD1990

Martial at 19 has huge potential.

Those early goals killed this thread

Martial looks more David N'Gog today than Henry.

ScummyMan

90 mins for Rooney again, drives me fcuking mental.

He has played pretty well.

Lol:rolleyes:

He's the only one that looked any way threatening for United with very little support or supply of decent ball.

Very pleased with the result and performance today. A great response against the biggest and best rival we have.

Someone needs to teach Valencia where the goal is

:rolleyes: Don't ye have enough problems of yer own? I don't think a Liverpool fan is in any position to be trolling atm.

TimeToShine

Martial looks absolutely lethal to be fair.

Cantona's Collars

Jaysus,Rooney runs forward then forgets what he is doing,gives the ball away cheaply with a pass on and falls over.Sums up his day in one movement.

Stick in a few crossing lessons while they are at it.

Not bad by Wilson there

GLaDOS

If anything I think Martial is a bit guilty of trying to do too much himself. With a bit more experience he'll learn to be more effective. Doesn't help when your teammates are playing rubbish though.

Quazzie

Ox off the bar.

Would've been nice to see that go in.

Cantona's Collars

Ground half empty and the home fans eventually make a bit of noise.

RobertKK

Well done Arsenal.

Utd schooled by Arsenal tbf.

Naive tactics and selection from Van Gaal and some awful performances from Utd players.

PhlegmyMoses

Arsenal played this game perfectly. Absolutely class display and well deserved.

wandatowell

Always nice to beat Utd.

Who's next?

Very easy for Arsenal.

Probably would have won by more if they didn't drop down a few gears 2nd half

keano_afc

Pity we can't play them every week.

Well done Arsenal, sure you have to beat us every once in a while :pac:
Great weekend for Wenger, definitely getting the ride tonight.

I can guarantee you there are more United fans changing their mind to say LvG Out tonight than there are Arsenal fans changing their mind to Wenger In.

Look back through this thread if you need to see some proof.

Just till later when we hear Coq may have a 2 week layoff.

Then the toys will be out of the pram again.

It's a roller coaster.

Nearly 3/1 United is a great price against a soft Arsenal side with no heart.

That'll be a little more difficult. Bayern always on song this time of the year.

Meh. I miss the AFC/MUFC rivalry of the late 90s

To have a rivalry you have to let them win every once in a while

Baffling selections by LvG again today. Carrick and Schweini are too similar and have admirable qualities but no pace. Ever since the Bruce/Pallister days I've always thought a strong, settled back four is key to a successful United side, fancy attacking football is one thing but you need a solid foundation to build upon, we relied on DDG too much last season and you can't always get away with that. Doesn't sound like he could be faulted today but his defence let him down. Luke Shaw's injury is going to cost us big time United should simply not be playing Valencia or Young as a starting fullback under any circumstances. Darmian started great but is having a hiccup in form too, at a bad time. Can't be long before he gets a sending off the way he's going.

Rooney needs to be benched.

Is this a serious post? Is it, i mean is it!?

Thoroughly enjoyed that, disappointed it wasn't a bigger win on the day but it was a great win all the same. The one thing I noticed about United though was I've never known them to allow Arsenal so much time on the ball. Now I dunno is that down to team selection or not having the legs but they put absolutely no pressure on Arsenal whatsoever when they had the ball. They just sat back and let them dictate the game. Bayern certainly won't be as nice in a couple of weeks time!
