Very sad to hear of Charlton’s illness. Several members of that WC winning squad acquired it, sadly. Hope he can live out his remaining years peacefully.

El Gato De Negocios

Big pressure on PP today. He had his best game in some time for us midweek so the expectation is that he will continue, hopefully that's the version we get today and not the more usual one.

Looks more like a square to me, fred and mc t, then maybe pog and bruno in a perpindicular line haha,

A perpindicular

Or a 4 > < 3 3

Lovely, let's see how this works out but it's a nice positive line-up

Bleating Lamb

Quite an attacking lineup from Arsenal as well.Might leave a bit of space at the back.

S.M.B.

Last week I was all "there's little difference between a diamond and a 4-3-3 with a false nine".

Turns out

a) there is a difference

and

b) looks like we interchanged between the two against Leipzig.

I assume it will be similar today.

A draw isn’t a good enough result today. Need to start consistently picking up 3 points especially at home.

7 points from 5 is a dreadful start. The win at Leipzig followed by a convincing win against Arsenal would do wonders for the squads morale

Agreed.

Anything bar 3 points today would be a major disappointment v a poor Arsenal side. Defensively, they're not great, should be able to get at them.

Interesting to see how Partey gets on, a player arguably United should've tried to sign.

Maybe this post won’t age well today but I still think it’s odd after the start we have had that if we win our two games in hand we could potentially be 3rd and only 3 off top spot.

By look of things teams are all going to take points off each other this year....but for a very debatable penalty call yday Pool we’re going dropping 2 points....could see 3 or 4 sides neck and neck next March for the Championship.

Sky sports ask the most stupid questions

Btw must win. Anything else shouldn't be acceptable

Think we’re 5 without a win at OT in the PL atm, stretching back to the 2-2 draw with Southampton last season. That needs to change today.

While I of course want to win, what I really want to see is a similar level of performance to what we have had recently

xtal191

Think we'll hammer these today

davycc

I feel very dirty saying this lol but come on Man u!

Fecking break these pussies up I'm expecting and demanding a 4 nil for your boys

Your Airbag

Big game and its not going to be an easy one. I hope we pick up where we left of with Leipzig.

AidoEirE

Delighted to see fred's good work getting him a more consistent spot in the 11. Dont care about hid passing out worldies or any of that, i love seeing that lad like a dog breaking up play. He's a Park player for me

limnam

Apart from the 3 pints.


What I want to see from Ole is pulling Pogba early if he starts any dilly dallying.

Am I reading that right????

‘Fecking break these pussies up’

Seriously dude.....

Fs ref

Clear yellow card not given

Father Hernandez

Sloppy start.

Second best to everything, need to wake up.

BenK

Poor start.

Hope he is as conservative with cards for United.

Poor start and some poor loss of possession with bad passes.

BenK

Looking for too much time on the ball.

The change in formation to accommodate a certain player has not worked so far

Lacklustre start

Your Airbag

10 minutes in and were not in this atm, we just haven't got going or offered anything.

wanderer100

Can barely get out of our own half . Slow and lack of any real movement

Man with broke phone

Shaw just allows cross after cross to float by him

Father Hernandez

Like deja vu of the Chelsea game.

Nothing happening, Arsenal more threatening.

Where's the performance of Wednesday night?

Arsenal shutting us down passing out and we are generally having to go. Long a bit too much

We are also playing quite deep. When they have the ball

Whatsisname

There 3 things certain in life, death, taxes and Pogba getting dispossessed in his own half.

It's the same formation as midweek.

Technophobe

So lethargic. Where is the energy?

NITRO95

P1ss poor opening 20 mins

Ffs so fred gets carded

And William doesn't get a card for doing the same earlier

Typical ****e from Mike riley

Mike Dean but sentiment is the same.

A genuinely awful ref

Drumpot

How was Fred’s foul any different from the arsenal player earlier ? Just because the arsenal players foul was so early in game. F**k sake.

Asides from that this is a poor start and I’d worry that it’s only a matter of time before Arsenal score the way it’s going!

Tippex

Arsenal pressing us pretty high. Pogba and mctominey dropping too deep when we have the ball not opening up the space to allow us get out

FourFourRED

Holding booked finally!

BenK

Holding is filthy.

Father Hernandez

Holding booked.

Rashford and Greenwood need to test him more, poor defender and won't have the pace of the 2 lads.

What I’m wondering is how long they can go with this pressing game. Surely must be energy sapping, hopefully they run out of steam and we get more possession and opportunities.
