Match Reaction - man u v ARSENAL!!

[Power n Glory]

I thought he was amazing. My MoTM easily, disrupted their attacks, made several crucial interceptions and protected our defence very well despite Chesney trying his hardest to give them a goal.

The only minor problem that still concerns me about him is that I still think he's too short. Man Utd were launching a lot of long balls at our defence (cos that's their main form of attack these days despite spunking 210 million last year) and Coquelin wasn't able to head them away decisively all the time because he wasn't able to out jump Fellani or whichever other clogger was there. This meant that one of Merts or Kos usually had to come from the defence to deal with it which left a gap there ........... which if Man Utd were cleverer and better, could have been exploited.



Don't think it was a serious hamstring injury.

He was walking fine after the game when congratulating Welbeck and applauding the support; he would have been on crotches if it was a proper hamstring. It was probably a minor tweak or niggle and I reckon he'll be fine for next week.

And given that we had the likes of Theo and Ramsey on the bench there was no need to take any risks. Got to say with that substitution and Wenger also being wise enough to take off Hector when the Manc scum were trying to get him sent off, Wenger made some top draw substitutions yesterday.

I hope Ox isn't out for too long. I really don't want to see Ozil or Welbeck on the wing. I have no idea what Theo's done but he's not making it into this team until he signs a contract extension.

The Theo situation is weird but I reckon he will struggle to displace Ox even if he does sign da ting. Ox is first choice for me now and I kind of get the impression Arsene sees him as first choice, he starts in all the big games. Ox brings a lot to this team, he was superb yesterday in the first half, tore them apart, he's done that a few times this season too.

Ox has the footwork and is more suited on the wing with his overall game. I think Wenger has given up on Theo's development as winger. He plays more as wide striker taking less touches on the ball from deep and focused more on off the ball runs. But Theo brings goals and assists in abundance when on form. Only Sanchez can really rival that sort of output. But I think Ox needs to keep himself fit and get a solid run in the team because he'll be an absolute beast and from what I heard, he's dedicated to Arsenal and focused on being that guy for us. He has the right attitude and he'll be an important player for us.

I think the Ox is great, the press go on about Sterling but I really think the Ox is just as good. I guess it is because he doesn't quite get the run of games Sterling does and also isn't the focus of the Arsenal unlike Sterling.

I know this sounds crazy but I actually think we are going to beat Monaco and go through in the CL. It is so frustrating conceding that 3rd goal as we will definitely score twice there. Also it really doesn't matter if we concede one as we need to score three anyway. We are going to have a Stevie G moment. 2-0 up going into injury time and Cazorlaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

[Niall_Quinn]

They owe us a progression on glorious failure. Monaco will be ultra defensive though. They don't concede many and we'll need to be bang on form to break them down 3 times.

I would keep Theo for his stats alone, it would be very silly of us to lose him because wherever goes he will score and assist loads.

I think Ox has world class potential, if he can stay fit and get a consistent run of games then I am hoping he will really kick on. The other thing really missing from his game is goals.

Not crazy, the team has crazy potential, especially offensively. We just need to put in a top class performance, it's definitely possible.

[Marc Overmars]

It would be interesting if we did somehow get through against Monaco, we'd have quite the fixture list to contend with and I'm not sure I'd trust Wenger to keep the team fresh enough to come through it unscathed.

It's crazy for us to let Theo go but I think it would be crazy for Theo to stay. Wenger has taken his development as far as he can and there is zero left for him to learn on the wing.

Where would he go? A step back to step forwards maybe.

[Xhaka Can’t]

I think the writing is on the wall with Theo. I'd have been happy if he was at least given a role to be the guy with pace introduced towards the last third of matches to stretch the opposition. But he isn't even used for that which is crazy given it had proved effective in the past and it plays to his strengths.
