What a game, unfortunately though we got a result we didn’t deserve.
3 shots on target and 3 goals, typical of a extremely negative Jose Mourinho side.
At the end of the game, I was proud of Arsenal. Yes, 2 stupid mistakes lead to the first 2 Manchester United goals but mistakes happen and it’s not as if Koscielny and Mustafi misplaced those passed on purpose. After going 2-0 down after 11 minutes, all Arsenal could do is respond and did they.
After the United sucker punches our response was (almost) perfect and we dominated the game, with chance after chance. The only problem was David De Gea was on world class form – some of the saves were sensational and he kept Manchester United in the game – because against any other keeper we would have scored 4 or 5 in the first half alone.
Manchester United have a reputation for being very negative under Mourinho but today he took that to a whole new level. It was as if he thought he was up against Barcelona in their pomp. A squad that cost around £500 million to assemble was reduced to a defensively desperate mess by Arsenal, and for that I am proud of my team.
And any Arsenal supporter who is critical of Arsene Wenger is an absolute joke – could be legislate for the 2 mistakes? No. Was it his fault that a side that cost half a billion to assemble played like a non-league side at The Emirates? No.
Arsenal gave it everything and our recent form has been outstanding.
Arsenal fans need to put things in perspective.
I agree and it’s good to let emotions pass before making rash decisions.
However Wenger should be sacked just for playing Xhaka. And I’m a big Wenger Knows Brigadier. Xhaka has so clearly been the weak link since he arrived that it is unreal. How has he ousted Coquelin, who once fit and with a run of games had some of the best defensive midfield stats in Europe? Ridiculous.
