    Match Reaction v Citeh (away).

    Waste of time really.

    Have to see more from us at Old Trafford.

    Saka once again showing he should be regular. You don't want him run into to the ground like Fabregas or Rooney at an early age, but he's too good to be left out.

    We all know that creativity is our biggest problem, because for the most part we were steady and solid again. Maybe the addition of Partey and a slight switch of formation will allow Arteta to give the team a bit more freedom in their attacking play as the season evolves. Hopefully Smith Rowe is given a chance to play soon too, as he offers something no-one else in the squad has.

    Apart from the first game, Willian has been mediocre and Pepe follows up every highlight reel moment with months of infuriating, ineffective, blind-alley runs. Surely Nelson deserves a game here or there over these two non-performers. If he fails to step up, it won't change anything and his defensive effort will still be there.

    Gabriel is very good, but he made a few too many sloppy passes into dangerous areas today.

    I wonder if any club in world football has a worse away record against the top 6 in their league? Surely we should have even fluked a win by now?

    This shouldve been a Partey and Elneny game, we needed energy on the middle.

    Laca shoulve started. Pepe only plays his best when AMN plays RB.

    Saka and Tierney did all they could do today

    Anyone else notice that Partey got booked for very little within 5 mins of coming on, with Sky saying how he had a reputation for that in Spain.

    It has started already

    Same shit really.

    Losing against these teams is nothing to get worked up about but I really hate it when it’s just tame nonsense where we look like we could play for another 90 mins and not even get close to scoring.

    Not particularly impressed with what we’ve seen at all. Defensively better yes but it won’t be enough.

    Just watched the highlights of the 1979 FA Cup final for some strange reason. We had players that cared for the badge. Fuck the imposters that dont care.

    Surprised how much of a nothing player Willian has looked since the opening day. Thought he’d have more about him. Looks like he’s going to be one of Arteta’s pets that gets into the team no matter what. Expensive dud, cheers Kia.

    Auba has barely had a sniff too. There was always going to be a time where the lack of creativity would render him useless, it was a miracle he was scoring as much as he was with such a basic set up for a supply line. Needs to find his scoring boots again quickly.

    I understand this is a process and we need to learn to run before we fly but it’s the same against whatever quality of opposition. That worries me.

    Old Trafford in a couple of weeks and we hope to see more but I don’t think we will. If anything we are more likely to breathe new life into their season.

    All of the above

    am getting really frustrated with game after game seeing the wrong team take the field in the wrong formation, yong players not being given enough of a chance and Chelsea rejects cluttering up the pitch

    Arteta's a good cup manager but too cautious as a league manager - like MO says we were never going to get anything from that game however long we played for
