Our mental block against Utd coupled with the fact that out of all the players you mentioned for us, only Sanchez seems like he gives a toss will mean that we will draw this.
Arsene Wenger, the only football manager that got paid 8 million quid to do nothing but sit on his arse..
The Mental block is more about Wenger being a chicken againts man ure (esp at OT) than the players IMO.
a 0-0 wouldnt surprise me. the big teams will all beat Man u this season (at home) which makes it more frustrating.
Don't think it's a mental block, I just think we are very easy to play against, we have scored three goals in the last five games against United because they know how to snuff us out as an attacking threat.
On Saturday they will come for a draw, and even with massive personnel loss in defence they will get at least a point because they won't push up looking for a win, without Blind they probably won't try to engage in a midfield battle, they will sit deep allow us to dominate territory and Posession and then look to break when the opportunity arises and if our midfield lacks its usual discipline than that will leave our defence looking vulnerable.
Where as Wenger will probably say believe in your quality and you will win the day, don't let tactical restraint be a barrier to your innate quality
He has the tactical philosophy of Ned Flanders' beatnik parents "we've tried nothing and were fresh out of ideas"

Society is now one polished horde
Formed by two mighty tribes, the bores and the bored.
"After all, it was the Gunners’ goalkeeper who started the move that culminated in Thomas’ crowning glory. It was Lukic who, in injury time, decided to throw the ball out to Lee Dixon rather than lump it long..."
I disagree Welbeck works hard and I think he is getting better. The best thing about Giroud getting injured is that we signed another striker who I think is more suited to the way we all want us to play.

Utd's injuries not quite as bad as they were pretending. De Gea, Carrick, Di Maria, Shaw all in training. Who are they missing? Rojo and Blind? They are better off without them.
Für eure Sicherheit
Evans, Falcao and Smalling suspended.
Their defence is made up of turd burglars but I'm sure they'll come out of this looking like GOATs.
