You’re a very silly person aren’t you

Yes you’re right, the three shots on target (and only three shots on target) is as much about shots that are getting blocked because by the time we get into their box they have everyone back


So yes we need a striker given we’ve missed decent half chances, but the point is the whole creativity is slow that we are only creating half chances

As I keep saying if you want to argue against an argument you’ve imagined be my guest but you don’t need me for that

Are you watching the game this time....or should I wait for your in depth match analysis after another 5 min highlight reel?

Rice's cornere go too near the goal, it gets so clogged in there we can't find a way through

I imagine it’s going to be very ugly for Arteta should United somehow spawn a win on the weekend.

It's not at all unlikely, they were actually quite decent against Liverpool at the weekend, Maguire howler notwithstanding

Against my better judgement I’ve watched the game. Your pathetic petulance about highlight reels relate to a match four months ago where I did a player rating only after watching the full highlights of the game.

As I say because you’re either semi literate or too flustered to read properly. You’re starting a row with me for no reason


You’re imagining I’m saying we don’t need a striker when I’ve not said any such thing.

Better from Jorg

I can’t stand Arteta as is well known but my only gripe tonight is playing the first team. I think playing Calafiori rather than Maitland Niles on the left might have possibly given us more width on the left, but ultimately it comes back to being one trick ponies with set pieces
