Then they should do what real cool men and women did back in the day and streak.

Fred really is a calamity.

As is lindelof.

Should be scoring there, hitting the target would have been enough to beat the keeper.

Lacazette has been excellent.

Very poor decision making from Rashford today

Another couple from arsenal would be lovely

It would have made for a great drinking game if "Paris" was the trigger word!

Ah the wind again.

Fred is truly awful, so bad, United were sold a pup there.

You don’t sound bitter at all lol!!!

Mr.Nice Guy

Think the ref was as poor as the weather was at the end but can't argue with the result. Have to take your chances against a top 6 side.

Great weekend for Arsenal.

Agent Coulson

DeGea laughing and joking with the Arsenal players on the pitch at the end seems odd after his howler for the first.

It was a very questionable transfer. I remember Jose saying a few months before he arrived:

"A team without a Brazilian is not a team"

"I worked with Brazilian players in every team I coached, and I enjoyed them a lot, everything they can give and also every problem they can create!

“But honestly, I enjoyed a lot, and who knows we can have a Brazilian in the squad next year. I don't believe it will be Willian, because Chelsea won't make it possible.”

Then when he came in he never had any real intent on playing him. It seemed to be a signing from the cash kings at the club to feed more into the Brazilian market. That is all I can really make of it? It surely wasn't that much of a footballing decision.

not sure what the bitterness is, bitter that Arsenal moved int 4th or united moved into 5th.

A Dub in Glasgo

Jamie Carragher is going on too much about the ball for the first goal, it swung a bit but top level goalkeepers should be saving that

Never a penalty for the second

He'd started to move to his left before the ball swerved. That was the error. He was never going to be able to shift his weight back to save it. Once the first step is taken, no keeper in the world is going to save it.

I thought United actually played pretty well in parts yesterday. Lukaku played well in general but just had one of those days in front of goal that do happen to him, probably the reason why he'll never be a world class striker.

yourdeadwright

United 3 midfielders where awful yesterday ,

Lakaku back to himself missing big chances in big games, Rahsford looked knackered which is fair enough he's still a kid, Thought Shaw played very well again ,

Poor from De Gea and not a peno , United where unlucky ,

Arsenal defenders look so nervous when any attack comes there way, they remind me of Liverpool before VVD and Allisson , They are just always in panic mode,

Was definitely a penalty. Fred clearly had his hand on Lacazette's back and there was enough contact to warrant a penalty.

As bad as Arsenal's defenders were, at least they were awake. For both goals De Gea jumped out of the way.

Peno was very soft , defender out there hands on attackers all the time ,

Your second comment is very childish , keeper's generally pick a side for a penalty and go , hardly jumping out of the way ,

The reason too Lukaku should only ever be a squad player... just not reliable enough a finisher or even as a consistent performer for a club with our demands and expectations.

He felt to get a dig into the United defence after he felt you slagged Arsenal's.

You can call it soft, as would i, but the defender allowed the ref make the call as soon as he placed his hands on the attacker. It's impossible to tell how much contact or momentum it takes to push over another player. Any suggestion is just conjecture.

The first goal, he literally jumped out of the way. Huge mistake, that handed Arsenal the tie. He moved left when he shouldn't have.
The penalty, he jumped out of the way of the ball, and got up and was furious with himself for doing it. Hardly a huge mistake, but a mistake none the less.

So to you not saving a penalty is a mistake ? Give over

You can't diagnose concussion from a particular incident ten days later on a different continent. Maybe it was the wind.

So what about the 7 goals he's just scored in recent weeks. He wasn't alone yesterday. Rashford missed an easy one too. Just one of those days. None of arsenal's strikers actually scored from open play themselves despite chances, but they're still good strikers.

This type of nonsense from supporters doesn't help.

So you are saying the person who diagnosed it wasn't a real doctor ? are you a doctor ?

I didn't say he didn't have concussion. What I said was that you can't diagnose ten days later that it came from a particular incident.

A very convenient diagnosis. ....... 10 days later on the other side of the world! Now now.

Dr. Ross D. Zafonte is a leading expert on traumatic brain injuries, concussion, and other neurological disorders having authored more than 300 peer-reviewed journal articles, abstracts and book chapters on these subjects and has cared for athletes of all ages for more than 20 years. He is the chief of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation at Massachusetts General Hospital and Brigham and Women’s Hospital, as well as vice president of Medical Affairs Research and Education at Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital. Dr. Zafonte is the also principal investigator of the Football Players Health Study at Harvard Medical School where he is the Earle P. and Ida S. Charlton Professor and Chairman of the Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation.

I'm not defending Karius saying he was concussed cause I don't care it doesn't undo his mistakes , but I don't think a doctor with these qualifications does it just for convenience , I'm not a doctor or half as qualified as him so why would I disagree with him.

Look at the bigger picture. Karius was being destroyed in the media after the game. That diagnosis was extremely convenient. That's my take on it.

If he did have such concussion your medical team are a disgrace not to even consider it at the time or even after the game.

I just don't buy it but you do so we will have to disagree and move on!

So you think it’s good enough to chalk it down as ‘one of those days’ ? I think there has been rather too much of this type of absolute nonsensical stuff from certain sections of our ‘support base’. People are calling this performance as they see it. Loosing and playing poorly yet intimating that it’s OK on the basis of having had a good run for a few weeks previously ? If that’s an ok attitude then you may as well go and support Newcastle.
