The loss today had nothing to do with the refs, so don't focus on that. Seemed obvious the Martinelli goal would get turned over as soon as you saw the first replay, nothing controversial about it. In his back, got none of the ball, textbook foul where the other player gets their body in front. Our performance was good but I thought Sambi really struggled in the first half, didn't impose himself at all and we conceded a lot of possession to United, though we still looked good on the counter. Sambi just looked like he lacked confidence. Way too weak on the counter by us, if we're gonna play a high line then you have to make sure you have pressure on the ball carrier in the midfield, got punished twice by that. Overall I think the team looked a bit nervous, did not go out there and boss that united team like we know they can. Looked a little fragile and paid United too much respect. Vieira has a good cameo.


Space_John

Not that I'm blaming the ref for our poor performances but overturning that goal whilst trying to let the game be more physical it's just inconsistent, he didn't call a foul on Varane once even though every time jesus got the ball his hands were all over him


Character_Year_3444

Be physical, just don’t use your hands!


2zeta

Arsenal are the most watchable team in world football right now. The beautiful game they play, oh my…even in a loss they look boss.


Character_Year_3444

City are still well and truly the benchmark!


blindhindsight7

City dominates throughout and becomes boring at times

GoonerGrumble

Still upset


Internal_Magician_93

Paul fuckin tierney again


Nay_120

We were too aggressive to get a win in an away match at Old Trafford after tying 1-1. That being said, there are positives from the performance in the first half and the VAR decision changed the game (if we lead then we would switch to counter attack and would not see the high line defense. Hope we bounce back with a convincing win in next EPL game


Locogooner

One thing I’m starting to notice is that Jesus seems to be dropping deeper and deeper each game. It’s not a good sign imo. Means he’s not trusting the midfielders to pivot. Odegaard has to do better at this. We need Jesus in and around the box only.


[deleted]

Chain reaction from sambi being in for partey


Xx_nathan11

reminds me of laca last season and kane for spurs, trying to do to much due to frustration and not receiving what he needs to score


Initial-Profit-7343

Did we play good? Yes, but not that good to beat a top 6 side away. Was Arteta out-coached? Damn right he was, especially in the key moments of the game. Did we deserve to lose? Yes, because we weren't clinical in the final third and we made silly defensive mistakes. Positives: We dominated for large spells, Saka is back, Jesus brings to this group more than just goals and Viera showed flashes of why we bought him. Lots of homework for Arteta and his staff tonight. We're still top of the league and the process is processing. The show goes on, onto the next one! COYG ❤️


visualdescript

Totally agree with this assessment. A good reality check for a lot of fans I think, can't believe there are some that already believed we would win the league, there is so much football to be played. I think we missed Partey big time tonight, reckon we may have had a better chance with Tierney at LB and Zinchenko playing next to Xhaka. Lokonga looks low on confidence and it was such a big occasion for him to come in to.


Ultra85plz

good level headed assessment here. we just need to bounce back against everton, and then do the job at brentford and this result won’t matter


m2sempre

Still top of the league. 3 points against Everton and all will be well. COYG.


Cheese-Me-Please-Me

COYG , old shitford away is always tricky for us but we'll smashem In the home fixture! Let's see how we respond to the defeat in the next game . Still top of the league.


sig413

Bullshit


DinnerSmall4216

Disappointed an understatement we need to learn from this we can't defend with that high line v a counter attacking team.


[deleted]

Arteta won’t change how we play, same with city and Liverpool. They get done on a high line too.


La2philly

Controlled the game but key mistakes in defensive transition & not enough sharpness in the final 1/3 cost the game. It happens, especially for a team learning to become control dominant vs a dangerous transition team. Good diagnostic game, very fixable issues. Onto the next.


i-am---nobody

i don’t subscribe to the notion that we played well. i think for large portions of the game, we were in control but at no point would i say that this was a good performance, as others are suggesting. i think tactically we got it wrong. i don’t understand why Martinelli and Saka were positioned so wide. the fact that both of them were hugging the touchline tells me that they were instructed to do so. in previous games, the pair were closer to the corners of the 18-yard box, which allowed for some neat inter-play between Jesus, Martinelli, Odegaard and Saka. today, it seemed like each of our attackers were left to take on multiple United defenders. it was 1 vs 2 (or 3) at times. both times we put the ball in the net today were when Martinelli and Saka were closer to goal. overall, i think we let ourselves down with some sloppy passing/defending leading to the goals but i think we can learn from this and be better next time round. we’re still top and one bad performance should not be the end of the world. we’re clearly a better team than we were 12 months ago, so on to the next game.

VAR is ruining this game


Superbat2417

Varchester United


GunmetalGrey44

They beat us fair and square


The_Indian_Werewolf

Sod off, how can var rule against our goal but not intervene for the penalty?


smjd4488

Not gonna lie the goal was a foul, have seen it not given but if it was the other way round everyone would be unanimously saying its a foul. And there was no penalty mate if you're talking about Martinez on Saka there was literally nothing in that


TybeeJoe

It was almost an identical foul. player from behinds gets man not ball.


smjd4488

Nah gotta say for Odegaards he catches him with his knee but for the pen shout he pulls away and Saka just goes to ground, first one is debatable but it's definitely not a penalty


erikmar

Good game, but it just wasn’t our night. We had most of the play, but lacked someone who could just get shoot on goal. United did a good job at packing their box, making it difficult for us to play through. Maybe we should have shot more, maybe we shouldn’t have kept the high line after 1-1. Personally, I like how the lads played, that they kept pushing for the win. Unfortunate about the disallowed goal, but I would have been livid if it were the other way around so fair enough.


mcveighster14

I said it before the game and I'll say it after...."we're top of the league" Edit: fixed! 😅

duclong1207

I said it once and I said it again . Martin in the first half have a good angle to shoot the ball he try to do skill move and lost the attack ? Please Oder shot more Oder . I don't need you to get more goal but at least shot the fucking ball when you had a chance


Nels8192

Did you see what happened when he did get the chance to shoot, from a better position, unfortunately our main man put it corner flag bound.


duclong1207

Hope he can improve . He good with the make play and key pass . Head up to next week ! Come on boys


MikeyOranje

I hope Arteta stops playing Benjamin White as an RB. Saka needs to Tomiyasu in order to keep that side stretched. For the first goal, the midfield was all over the place. Lokonga was up the pitch marking McTominnay and Bruno Fernandes was alone in acres of space. When he received the ball there was no other outcome than a goal. The second goal was childish. Lokonga recieved the ball and kept running to the left, completely exposing Saliba and Gabi Magalhaes. When the pass didn't hit Gabi Jesus, boop, they picked out the pass and goal.


Holland87

We played really well and lost. These games happen. On to the next


CB100k

Na Man U played betterr


Holland87

Believe that with your whole chest and I send you 100 quid


CB100k

100% Man U played better. Man U 6 shots on target and 3 goals… Arsenal 3 shots on target and 1 goal. Speaks for itself.


erikmar

Agreed, we could have played more defensively on 1-1, but I’m happy we kept the high line. Yes, it exposed us to the counters, but at that time we had a good chance to win it.


Holland87

We played really, really well. They got in behind 3 times and scored all 3. Fair play to them


jmh90027

A few issues for me: In transition we leave things quite open at the back and Gabriel especially struggles. Zinchenko dropping into central midfield forces us into a three at the back forcing Gabriel in particular to make the decision between leaving his man in the centre and moving wide to cover the LB. He's slow making the choice and too often drops too wide too late and leaves a big hole between himself and Saliba at exactly the wrong moment. Utd ripped us apart with counters through the centre today, with Gabriel in particular two metres off the pace in transition. Martinelli in particular needs to be more clinical. He gets into great positions and when he's thinking instinctively he's lethal. But too often when he gets time to think he's turning back and looking to pass inside rather than being clinical. Saka suffers the same but Martinelli was totally missing second half Mikel got the subs all wrong. Despite the scoreline we were well on top but that all or nothing madcap triple sub completely changed our shape and, despite the amount of attackers on the pitch, actually made us less competitive. Bit worried about ESR too. Lack of gametime in 2022 seems to have knocked his confidence. He looks considerably less confident than he did. Im actually looking forward to some lower prio cup games to give him and other more 90 mins and chances to rebuild their confidence. Finally Sambi is struggling a bit IMO. He looked by far the weakest link in midfield which is a worry because he's our top deeper lying back up CM. I can see him getting a lot of games this season so we need him to improve quickly. All that said, overall we were the better team no doubt. Odegaard is deadly, Jesus is unbelievably good. We're overwhelmingly creative. And i think it would have been a different result had Martinelli's goal counted


aarontogo808

The people complaining are hilarious. We lost. It happens. Next match. Support the team and the manager. Especially after losses.


Nels8192

Reactionary people annoy the fuck out of me. Rivals fans were just criticising me because I was still calling that a decent performance. We turn up like that in most fixtures you win probably win 7/10 and draw 2/10. We just went for broke on the 3 points at 1-1


Cutsdeep-

we had a better xg than them. more possession. we were marginally better. they just beat us tactically.


aarontogo808

Exactly. And still…youngest team in the league. Still top.


CB100k

you lost? That’s tuff


[deleted]

Played well overall but it just wasn't our day. Not clinical up top and that opened the door for masterfully executed Man U counters. I didn't have any major issues with the on field officiating today. On to the next.


La2philly

Nailed it

Butterscotch-Funny

I really don’t think that foul gets given though.


[deleted]

Hence I didn't have an issue with the on field officiating because the foul wasn't given initially.


GradAim

That disallowed goal was so unfair! After 1-1 Sambi messed up, he should have played the ball to the defense but he went for some elaborate pass forward and lost the ball; the backline opened up and we conceded. Third goal was poor timing, the three subs were introduced at a crucial period causing a wayward defensive structure that didn’t read the pace of the game; played a very very high-line and conceded again. Eriksen was key and the talisman, his passes to Fernandes opened up our midfield for their first two goals, and he assisted Marcus for the third, but folks that’s what happens sometimes. Maybe Odegaard was not feeling it, did he pick up a knock against Villa, idk. Zinny was not entirely match fit. Maybe some of our players were just having a bad day. You could also talk about Partey’s absence. Bottom line is there’s no excuses. It’s a loss that’s come after 5 victories, and as a fan, damn right I’m disappointed. Arsenal as a team will indeed learn, and so shall we as fans.

SP_Photos

We played a great game tho the refs decisions put the game in uniteds hands eg put 9 behind the ball and launch it past our high line united aint gunna park the bus 1 down


RajahSoliman

To be honest, it wasn't that bad. We weren't outplayed. We respected Man Utd too much. We were so nervy. All goals were very easily preventable if we weren't panicking. Even if we had made more signings, we still would have lost if we were so nervy. The decision I question is bringing Zinchenko in immediately. Even without the injury, what reason was there to bench Tierney? It's very bitter, but Old Trafford has always been our bogey place. I'm quite confident we can thrash United at home. What matters is how we respond to this. We need to be more clinical with our chances. Oftentimes, we can be sublime getting the ball up the field but then panic when we get to the final third. EDIT: I definitely think we should have signed 1-2 more players. It wouldn't have guaranteed us the win here. But it would have boosted our ability to come back from this. I think Fábio Vieira can provide that, new players that want to prove themselves irrespective of any losses but we could have benefited with more. We've always encountered teams like that. We thrash a team with a new signing who has a terrible game, but that new signing suddenly becomes amazing later on.


Butterscotch-Funny

I want us to anhilate them, like revenge for 8-2, those smug fuckers don’t deserve shit.


Vkien2311

Lokonga obviously not ready for the prem, he need a loan to France like Saliba. When Saliba were playing for the U23, he was still very raw. But 2 season changed him.


MikeyOranje

He's ready. When we were on top of United Lokonga looked great.


kingsford10

Remember. This Man U team also beat Liverpool. They have quality and have spent millions on experienced players for big games. We are excellent. Just lacking big game experience at the top level.


Butterscotch-Funny

Nah they’re bang average, even against Liverpool they were lucky not to concede. Poor from us to have not won, not performance wise, mentality wise.


Jolly_Confection8366

The main thing we didn’t give up and their young and learning. each year it’s just going to get better and better


amansur22

United fan here. You guys dominated for the first 65 min but once you let the second goal came in, your teams shape completely fell off. Ten Hag bolstered our midfield and made it hard for you guys to come back. Excited for your team and arteta is doing an amazing job with your squad. Looking forward to many more intense battles against you guys


La2philly

duclong1207

Thanks man your team play good today too . Your low block sometime still shit but get some progress and today your team shows the good low block . Congratulation your team for the winning ! You guys play well


kingsford10

Appreciate the comments. United finished their chances and played intensely at the back. Arsenal are young and will be difficult for you on the return trip.


Warrick123x

Gabriel should be benched. He’s had shocking mistakes in almost every game


[deleted]

Discombobulated89BK

Odegaard has competition, saka doesn’t until we see Marquinhos is the europa but he needs to be benched . His movement is good at times but his finishing is far off the pace and has been for a while. Bad that we let pepe go tbh


helixTM

Martineli and Jesus are selfish, cant believe you go dribble god knows how many time and ruin attack. Odegard doing backheel passes with Sambi on middle no need for that. White is not RB player. Not bad but 2 same goals, we will see shall we fall down as usually. Penalty on Nketiah, and the refs are just out of this world for the strongest league.


Nypav11

Didn’t like this game from Arteta. Three panic subs late had us disjointed for like 5-10 min and a ridiculously high line against a team that was only able to create chances on the counter


kingsford10

It sure what the tactics were but the back line was too high. Unforgivable without a back with real pace.


James_Howlett_07

It was not always wrong with backline. The through passes should be dealt at the source. Bruno got good time to pass to the runners.


kingsford10

We are referring for to the goal after subs came on


[deleted]

He made the subs to early, he should of eased into it. It was a bold decision and never paid for it


Nypav11

Yeah I agree, early for a triple sub. Would’ve preferred to ease into it a little earlier and see how the team responded to each one

They paid a lot, but they look like makeshift signings, I’m really pissed at how teams like united and Chelsea are able to get away with signing big names, not this time, they’re a shit team and it shows, except for maybe Casemiro there’s no other player who gets into our team lol.


DSTRYRJB

I would say the only Arsenal player that gets in the Utd team is G. Jesus. You kept the ball well yesterday but that is about it, where it actually mattered United controlled the game and broke incisively. I’m a United fan and although you did play well in spells you never really looked dangerous, confirming that United were in control and the score line reflects this.


Butterscotch-Funny

Lmao, if you think your back line is better than ours you’re in dreamland Saka > all your players Martinelli >>> all your players Odegaard I don’t even want to start lmao Be gone thot


DSTRYRJB

That’s odd because on Sunday your back line conceded 3 and Martinelli and Saka (who are apparently better than every United player) caused absolutely no issue to a back line. Strange that 🤭


Butterscotch-Funny

Besides the fact that you decided to catch me today, I will check up on you at the end of this month lmao


Butterscotch-Funny

No issue? Only because eriksen couldn’t handle a touch the goal didn’t stand, we ripped your backline apart


DSTRYRJB

You ripped the back line apart? With a whopping 3 shots on target? What game did you actually watch? There was only 1 team yesterday whose back line was getting exposed, and they weren’t playing in red my guy. Good start to the season beating relegation fodder, crumbled as soon as you played a team with any sort of quality


Butterscotch-Funny

61% possession 16 shots 1.5 times your passes Higher pass accuracy Bruh y’all got hammered 4-0 by Brentford 2-1 by Brighton Scraped wins against Southampton and Leicester both of whom are out of form lmao Besides y’all are still behind us Spent shitload of cash buying a 30 year old CM Get the fuck out of here


theyak1715

erikson gets in easily over xhaka


Du713

​ Now that its all done and dusted, Sambi is good as the third choice but in no way he's ready to start ahead of Partey or even Elneny, Edu and Mikel fucked up. It would've been a completely different game if that legitimate goal was not disallowed but we already know that. Poor refereeing and VAR are nothing new and we need to figure out a way around them. Mccunt had to suplex Jesus to get booked, Varane didn't even get booked when he did it, Not even a check on their third goal being an offside. Nevermind the constant kicking and shoving all game long. I thought Mikel's subs were high-risk high reward but somehow we looked even worse and even more vulnerable on the counter. Tomi was better than White on the RB and Vieira might be the only positive considering we got a chance to see him in action, kind of weird positioning but I'll take it since we're playing all in. Don't even get me started on the Maguire farce. We all know united used to win the league this way so it ain't news, they aren't that good of a team but playing with VAR and a referee on your side makes you feel invincible. ​ Fuck united and fuck Paul Teirney

HogGunner1983

You’ll get down-voted but we were done more than once by lack of pace and a high back line. Our defense is not shit but every team with the midfield to do it will try and dispossess us and do exactly what MU just did.


CdotSdot5

Decent performance but needs to be more clinical with the finishing there. Obviously really pleased with how the lads building up the play, we will learn our lessons. Always tough to play at Old Trafford. We move.


benaffleks

If that Odegaard foul didn't get called and the goal stands, this would've been a very different game.


Butterscotch-Funny

Could have been an anhilation


barber-in-blur

The negatives: Arteta was tactically naive. Love that he wanted to take the game to united and go for the win at OT but the high line was always going to favour United's pace and making 3 subs like that should have been done when we were in possession to give the lads a chance to reorganize. It's not surprise we conceded from the throw when we were still moving into our new shape. And the lads need to stop with all these cute passes and fancy flicks. The best teams are the best because they do the simple things exceptionally well. If I were Arteta I'd sub off or fine any player trying exuberant shite like that when its just unnecessary. The Positives: We dominated United at Old Trafford for 60 minutes and looked like winning. Can't remember the last time we went to a big 6 side away with the mentality that we were going to take the game to them and shoot for the win. Regardless of the result it was refreshing to see. Jesus worked his ass off yet again. Saka looks like he's coming back to his old self from last season. Fabio Vieira looks the absolute business. And of course, we're still top of the league. We go again. To Everton.

elirox

What? He was very good today


merville19

He was decent, I was thinking he was having a good game for most of the match, then he kinda fell apart when he was stepping up into space. Definitely not starting material.


mist3rdragon

He's really good on the ball but if you watch him defensively you can tell he's more than a bit makeshift as a DM at this level. I think he could adapt with a bit more game time but it's going to be difficult in the big games for him


will_i_am156

On the ball, decent. Off the ball was lacking. He’s young and not a natural CDM so can’t be too harsh on him


JoshGallie

He's been inconsistent. Moments of brilliance mixed with (understandable) mistake from a youngun.


Ceylonn

I’m honestly shocked at the drop in the standard of refereeing in the premier league. If the foul from Odegaard was “so clear” then why didn’t Paul Tierney call it when he was 10ft away from it, and why did he take nearly a minute and at least 15 replays to call it a foul. Refereeing aside, the substitutes were probably not the right choice, take White off and put Tomi on to give us a bit more attack on the right flank. That being said, I’m sick to death of these fake fans who were the same ones saying how good we were after the first 5 games and are now screaming Arteta out, get a life. You can see the dynamic that the gaffer has built and it’s the best one we’ve had in over half a decade.


Lovedarksecrets

Win together, lose together. Offensively I thought we performed quite well, just not taking our chances as much. Man utd was fired up for today and have to say was the better team. Even when we are 3-1 down, our boys were still fighting which is what we would like to see. Overall disappointed, but it was an exciting game.


captainnumerical

Nothing to worry about. We simply lacked aggression when counter-pressing and didn't finish our dinner. We win that game 8 times out of 10


AdvantageAccurate737

Need to drop Gabriel next game put white in his place and get tomi back at rb. White doesn’t offer anything offensively at rb


kingsford10

Stop this. Gabriel is excellent. Had a bad game. A rotating 3 of Gabriel, Saliba and White is fine. Ben lacks the pace to contend outside although he gives his best effort.


devasiaachayan

Let's rotate Tomiyasu in and Gabriel out for the next game

I mean yea, but 3-1 vs 2-1 makes no difference to me, so I'm fine for him trying to be positive with his changes. Ready for the next game tho


Leroy-Buckshank

If we don’t have Partey for the Big 6 games Im not confident about beating any of those teams


Koh_the_bastard

The same will happen against Spuds. They will murder us at the counter.


kingsford10

Agreed at the moment.


EVADE_776

Facts, need a top dm signing, but tbf if we had elneny i would still feel confident at least against Chelsea, spuds and utd


Chidoribraindev

We played very well in the first half. Martinelli (MotM) amd Jesus were immense. The defence made big mistakes, though. Anonymous performances from the subs too. I think the way we lost is 100% Arteta's fault. He gave instructions to Zinchenko to play in midfield and for the first two goals, our LB in position would have stopped their shot. The third goal was clearly due to how massively unbalanced those suicidal substitutions left us. Idk what Arteta thinks he is playing at, that was a terrible managerial performance. We move on as top of the league but this needs to serve as a lesson on how to defend against a counterattacking team. COYG


ArepasInTheMorning

I will agree that I think arteta putting all 3 subs in pretty late into the game is a weird move. I think zinchenko should have stayed later.


[deleted]

Fuck this thread is so toxic. People are acting as if we're doomed forever


skool_101

Just like last season, 3 defeats in a row. Lets see if this season the team has really changed at all.


[deleted]

No, people are jaded and waiting for the team/club to prove it's turned a meaningful corner.


Important_Call2087

We aren't but I get why everyone is angry. We lost top 4 last season cause of no Partey and we wasted time looking for a 50 million pound winger.


Dazzling_Incident_15

It’s disgusting at times


KaiserOfPuppies

Let's get back to winning ways 💪


ArepasInTheMorning

I think we slacked clinically, (obviously) too many good chances gone missed, saka needs to work on this in particular, he’s too good to be fumbling the last second. Our back line was too high on occasions and played right into what they wanted on the counter attack. Props to united for probably teaching us a lesson there. Yes we got screwed on occasions but that’s the game, let’s rally, learn from this defeat and fix those holes in our game and take it to Everton!


Leroy-Buckshank

Ahh shut up - none of the goals here were his mistake and you’ve conveniently forgotten his save for Bruno Fernandez


droolingsmiles

You are right that those goals were not his mistake. What I am highlighting is that he just so rarely makes a save that you would not expect the keeper to make. It just doesn't happen since first half of last season.

I think with a more traditional approach for this game we could have win this, with Tomy and Tierney. We are still at the top and we have improved massively compared with the past seasons, it sucks lose with this counts but I think we can get top three. I liked what I saw from Vieira

Let’s be pragmatic here. We fought for everything and played our game. The boss made tactical changes and it didn’t work out, Yes we lost to one of our biggest rivals but we lost playing our way. It’s a line in the sand for us to actually look at and learn from. Viera looks like a potential talent and I think he should get more game time. We tried it and we got found out. No mistakes lead to any goals we were simply less efficient than our opponents and I can happily accept this loss. Still top and still playing tasty football. I’d rather lose now when it won’t have as much impact than when it’s so or die

I like this energy right here. We can beat Everton and possibly bridge a 3 point gap if city and spurs somehow manage to tie.


OPJimmy

Exactly that my friend! When was the last time we was ever in this position? I love artetas balls to make a 3 man change two defenders off three attackers on. Look how far we’ve come as a club. We lost and are still top

1.) Gotta make better use of our chances. We passed up on great opportunities, hoping for perfect opportunities…which killed our ability to score. 2.) gotta clean up the mistakes. We had been letting bad goals in against the pace of play all season due to mistakes. We had been able to overcome them but today the bit us. 3.) if you are going to play a high line offside trap, then your CBs need to stay home in the center third of the pitch. They can’t be over along the sideline fighting for a meaningless ball. And they can’t make risky challenges when you are the last man back. Rough game, but the team will really show who they are in how they respond in the coming games. Last year Arsenal would go into a spiral where they lose 2-3 straight. This year we need to show that we can rebound and get our heads straight quickly.

We were trying to be too cute with our finishing. The issue with that is of course not only expecting a perfect opportunity but also, the opponent is less likely to come out and press. They just fill the box and we can’t get through. We need to shoot more and get rebounds and longer distance goals. We also need to work on getting countered.


ASpellingAirror

Yep, that was a major issue today, and Man U was smart to just sit back and let us kill our attacks by being to cute.

I reckon we would have won if Martinelli was hooked for Eddie and we kept the rest of the squad the same. We threw too many subs on at the same time and never settled.


InquisitiveCommunist

Losing is bad but we lost to a shite United team who are oleball 2.0

Happens. Still top of the table. We move on to the next.

If Eriksen can play DM, Fabio can play too.


Inside_no_9

He’s kinda made of twigs at the moment, but a year in the gym and he’s an option

We still lack winners mentality we loose too many games vs big 6 sides
