I wouldn't say he was brilliant in terms of the match itself - but in terms of young kid coming on in such a big fixture and looking like he belongs, he did well. Wenger said Ramsey was a top player, which has seemed ridiculous until recently. He claims Gnabry is even better - I'm going to believe him.Originally Posted by Where's my username gone?

No, he honestly is worse than Arshavin in terms of sticking a foot in. But we're not paying him to do any of that. He is obviously struggling to cope with the pace of the league atm. After Christmas we'll see him running games consistently. It doesn't help him that we don't have a runner upfront. Maybe Theo will help in that regard.
I was thinking that as well.
Well yes, I was accounting for his circumstances by describing him as brilliant, but even from a purely pragmatic stance he was very good; his introduction really did change the face of the game, we were very unlucky (to have bendtner on the field who conspired) not to get on the end of at least one of the balls into the box right at the end.
You used to be everything to me
Now you're tired of fighting
We have no width and when the midfield aren't at their tippy tappy best it becomes quite easy for their play to be read, which is what United's defence did comfortably today.
Need Theo back ASAP and I'd also like Gnabbers to be involved more as well.
People need to chill out.
If you were told we would be 2 points clear going into the 2nd international break you'd have taken it. I'm much more pissed off about our loss to Chelsea in the COC than this.
Last time we were there we lost 8-2, this time we lost our best defender on the day of the game and still managed to defend really well for the duration of the game. It's frustrating we didn't make more of it but we had no Walcott to get in behind their defence and he would have been key.
It's going to be a long season and as long as we get to January 1st/2nd, we can strengthen and push on.

Double post for some reason.
Anyway, one thing I'll add is that at least Wenger is getting the subs spot on. Should have got them on sooner but his judgment in terms of players is improving. It's promising.
The problem has never been about losing at Old Trafford. It's about this pyschological mental block that we carried forward to let it fuck up our form. When we went there at a similar time in 2004, we were playing our very best football. We then lost the game 2-0, lost our unbeaten run and although we were top by 5 points, we quickly started dropping silly points. In fact the very next game was this: http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/foot...em/3947349.stm , where we celebrated a RVC wondergoal equaliser like a world cup win.
This time we also play Southampton at home. I can't be the only one who is not worried about this group of players letting this Man Utd result unsettle their form. We've been doing this shit since March and we can carry on building the lead at the top.

Nah.
We've lost in the league twice in the space of 8 months.
We got this.
