Match Reaction v Man Utd

[Ollie the Optimist]

indeed! and I was quite sure that if we failed to convert them we would get a pasting. Not that I expected 8 actually but 6 defo.

at half time i was convinced if we got an early goal, we could do it, missing those chances was poor and cost us.

Getting an early goal would not have made a diffrence in a month of sunday's tbh. We still would have conceeded more with that defense thats the problem.

You truly are deluded, get as grip, even if we'd scored these we would ave got a whopping...Man U could have scored more too FFS.

That score line is shocking and embarrassing, how have we reach this level?

Through consistetly stripping the squad of it's quality and doing the bare minimum and sometimes nothing at all to replace it.

Woke up today thinking it was all a bad dream. Eight!! FFS.

RVP respect to him tbh, leading by example. Another captain who already is singing from a diffrent sheet from the manager,

I think Merse was spot on yesterday when he said Wenger cannot expect certain players to just slot right into the system and play the style of football he wants. It just doesn't work like that. You need to play to your strengths, work out the best tactics to get the most from what you have. I guess it fits into the idea of Wenger not being anywhere near as tactically astute as other managers in this league.

Lead by example on the pitch and not the press room. He's right, but he hasn't said anything unique.

Yeah, Merse was absolutely spot on. As he said, you'll get league one sides go there this year in the Cup and offer more resistence than that. OK, we had players out but so did Utd. If our squad is too weak without key players then we clearly need a stronger squad. Wenger must know that. And given that our team was clearly far too weak we needed to give the defence some help, pack the defence, make it hard for Utd. Just trying to play the 'Arsenal way' was suicide and as Merse said completely unfair on the players.

We're not going to be playing sides that good every week and Wednesday showed we're not a bad side but the squad is far too weak and if we don't get several good players, which as the time ticks down is looking increasingly unlikely, then it's going to be a long, hard season

He's scored 2 in 2 and in a miserable end to last season was the only player consistently scoring and playing well.
