Match reaction vs the Mancs

[GP]

Its disgusting how GP Opinions are treated on here.

Only slit-your-wrist, jump-off-a-bridge WUM opinions get spouted on here tbh.

Yeh our away support is good. They go up north, all bevvied up, and sing Arsene Wenger's name as we are being killed. I used to do that for years

Predictable. Van Persie scored, ManYoo won. We were 2nd best, we're just not at their level any more.

Our away support is absolutely outstanding.

[Dennis Bendtner]

Was actually a boring game tbh.

Yeah exactly. The ref probably expended the most energy. That's been the case with Arsenal at Old Trafford for about five seasons. The game I least look forward to on the fixture list. Everyone had the Giroud trademark resigned face on today.

[Press Box Gooner]

at least last year we could blame the loss on injuries. that was basically close to our strongest team.

how many fucking defensive mistakes are we doing to make? its EVERY FUCKING WEEK. to top it off, santos the fat c*nt grabs van persie's shirt at half time. WTF? what a disgrace. thats me done with santos, couldnt give a flying fuck if you choose to be a lazy prick but do not embarrass the fans and make us a laughing stock in front of millions of people. you dont care about the club because you come from some shithole in brazil- fine, but at least pretend you care for 90 mins when the cameras are switched on. i will never ever support santos in an arsenal shirt again. we're done and i will gladly boo him next time im at an away game.

last year we had a world class striker who could change the game. we had song, one of the most creative midfielders in the league, playing behind him. both gone and not replaced properly. not only did we sell RVP but we pocketed the money and strengthened one of our rivals.

this is the year we drop out of the top 4. we are absolutely average and have no attacking threat. we are so narrow and have no width, our full backs dont even bother overlapping. we slow the tempo right down when we're on the attack which gives the opposition a chance to get 10 men behind the ball. then we wonder why we cant open teams up.

podolski was woeful. ramsey uninspiring. why do we start with a 6ft+ striker when we dont plan on giving him any service? we play with ramsey instead of a proper winger, giroud gets no service FFS. no crosses, no balls in behind. nothing

rivals strengthen year on year and last year we scraped champions league football through pure luck. you would have thought that c*nt in charge would have had good reason to strengthen the team over the summer but we didnt. we are gonna pay for it this year, believe me.

couldn't agree more

Utd beat us without having to show up. Should have been a right hiding but we fluked a respectable shoreline. Wenger sees things nobody else sees, in a bad way I mean, in a way that normally gets people sectioned under the mental health act.

Pretty much anyway who thinks any different is deluded IMO

[jelgoon]

i think there was quite a bit between the teams in terms of defending.

Deservedly beaten by a superior team, with that said....

Not much in it. Just one mistake separating the sides.

[Joker]

Yeah I have no idea how anyone can say we deserved a draw Unfortunately, I can see Wenger complaining that Cleverely should have been sent off, that the 2nd goal came from a corner that shouldn't have happened, Wilshere was unlucky to go etc and completely ignoring how Man Utd were able to cruise through in 2nd gear. Some supporters seem to be of this mindset as well.

[Marc Overmars]

Podolski has been terrible over the past month.

Actually, terrible might be harsh because that implies he's done things that haven't come off. He's barely been involved at all.

[Özim]

a draw a fair result?

they were all over us in the first half, we didn't manage a shot on goal til the 80th+ minute.

completely overpowered. it was men against boys.

Pretty much you'd have to be a clown to think we deserved a draw, they were superior in every way and deserved the win.

`We had a lot of spirit up to the end. We never gave up'.

Very important goal by Cazorla at the end. Wenger can work with this scoreline for the post-match interview. Not scoring would've been a bit more difficult to sell.
