How Soon Is Now

That's gay.

J. Marston

Seriously, Herrera? I've seen U-13's hitting harder shots, for fúck sake.

Hococop

That's that

Jaysus that was jammy. Poor from Herrera really though

TheCitizen

There's no doubting Mourinho's ability to mould a team and get them defending properly and securing results. Still given the amount of money they have spent are Man U fans happy with the style of play under Mourinho?

You timed that one alright

Rossi IRL

Could end up 4 or 5 now.

We needed to score first.

Billy86

There's that homegrown lad we sold to a rival for ?14mn again.

deaddonkey15

Getting what we deserve here and what should have happened to us against City. No desire to win either game. Pathetic stuff.

How Soon Is Now

Looks like unbeaten run Is finally over.

GSPfan

Well that's the worlds most average unbeaten run ended. Jose's unbeaten streak over Wenger comes to an end too.

Honestly not bothered. Only thing that'll piss me off today is any more injuries.

I think they'll still win the EL and get into the CL that way. I backed them to win that competition before the 1st leg win over Celta Vigo at evens.

JaMarcusHustle

Madness bringing on Rashford. He may not care about 4th but he's lying if he says his streak against Wenger isn't on his mind. Jeopardizing our EL chances now over a personal vendetta.

Haha

Carrick and Rooney in midfield?

This could get very ugly.

J. Marston

At least this joke of a league campaign is over.

shane.

In fairness it was a joke of an unbeaten run anyway

Sand

I don't get the logic of waiting until 0-2 down to bring on Rashford. EL is the priority. Even 2-2 as a result is not good enough to get top 4.

deaddonkey15

I really hate losing to Arsenal, probably more so than anyone else in the league.

Stupid from Jose
He setup this way and now panic stations for nothing
Risking players for the sake of it

Smalling and Jones are both dreadful defenders - get rid

0-2 down he should have been taking off the likes of Mata, Mkhitaryan and Herrera and bringing on the reserves.

Martial has been horse****

Quandary

Rooney is almost a liability out there for us.

Up until last few minutes most of out attacking players have been very deep so I'm not surprised in any of them looking poor.

Arsenal are an average team ffs with the players we had put out there from the start we could of gave them a right go.

Instead Jose decides to play this horrible play it safe and stay further back setup and it's back fired massively.

Richard Hillman

Real Madrid, Barcelona, Bayern Munich, Chelsea wouldn't accept this from their manager. I don't even think Man City would take it.

If Mourinho is manager next season, United have accepted mediocrity.

shane.

I'd fully understand if United didn't need the 3 points in this fixture. Attack and win your easy games consistently, defend and grind out results in the top games and you'll be there or thereabouts in the title race.

But given United needed the 3 points, I don't understand the defensive approach. Especially now hes flipped to attacking and risking key players when 0-2 down.

Lol you're joking right. We're very close to winning the Europa you know. Pretty sure CL football isn't for the mediocrity

It's not often you come across like you haven't a clue what you're talking about.

But you're trying really hard with this one.

United can still finish the season with 2 trophies.

Rooney is finish. So sad but it's the truth. Should be moved on this summer

Two trophies that football would not miss if they were scrapped tomorrow.

Shane St.

People are way overacting to the result. We were due a defeat and sometimes in football games come at you in bad situations. We have this game sandwiched in between a tough European semi. Do I like losing to Arsenal? No, hated them when the rivalry was big and till hate it now.
Do I like the approach we took in this game? No, but with the personnel available and the team condition I understand it.

Trophies are pointless now, feck this thread until Wednesday

He was crucial to us winning the Fa Cup last year and has played well for the most part this season when called upon. Hardly the definition of finished 3 years ago. It's looking like this defeat will be blamed mainly on him though.

Would the above mentioned teams accept that though? United are supposed to be a world power.

Lord TSC

Saying "we need three points" misses the very obvious decision was made to focus entirely on the EL. Rightly or wrongly, we didn't start a good few first teamers. If it works, if we win EL, no one will care about this result next year, or even next month; CL would be in the bag.

Not even that bothered about the result tbh; I've long since accepted that there's a rack of players who just don't seem bothered. Rooney, Carrick, Martial, Smalling, Jones...the team where they are the focus were poor last season and were again today. You take Pogba, Bailly, Ibra...that spine goes and we struggle.

Jose will take a lot of flak at the end of the season if EL doesn't work out, but if it does, then today meant very little, and shouldn't shock anyone really.

wanderer100

Hard to take this defeat but it really doesn't matter a whole lot. As long as the heads stay high and we go into Thursday's game confident, we will be fine

I wouldn't blame the defeat on him but he has been mainly poor for a few seasons yes

So yes, they're accepting it at city.

That's complete nonsense it's not even him been made a scapegoat he's been hopeless for 3/4 seasons and it's sad to see almost forget how good he was at this stage
