Manchester United U21s 3 v Arsenal 2 - Match Reaction

[Maestro]

Losing at United is almost a constant. There was a game when Fergie named every person who couldnt get a game including the Da Silva twins and a the cast of the Teletubbies in a Carling Cup game and they still crapped all over us. Only God knows what we do in training, because it hardly ever prepares us for the game in hand.
Im waiting for the Maestro to blame "naive defending " or summat for this loss too.

this can't be wenget's fault surely. that defending was dire and we can't get rid of the manager when it's clearly down to naive defending.

[Marc Overmars]

We badly miss one player. Cazorla. I can't see any other player in this squad that will change things for us. It's all fallen to shit since he's been injured.

I agree. No one operates in tight spaces as well as he does. Our midfield is a sham, full of cloggers and a beleaguered Ozil.

[Marc Overmars]

Also, Merts and Kos have to be the pairing at the back. We've been shit for a while going forward and we've been pubbing it. But we've had a good defence at least.

Gabriel was dreadful today. He looked like shitting himself every time he got the ball!

[Kano]

Gabriel is making too many mistakes whenever he comes into the side. No point having him in the team for pace if he just dicks it up everywhere else.

[Xhaka Can’t]

Fourth is looking a little tighter now. We'll go through the motions in the Champions League second leg and about half of the Premier League matches left and just win the others to make sure we nick 4th on the last day, to make sure that we qualify for the Champions League next season...

When we'll do the bare minimum to get through the group stages in second place, when the focus will then shift from the Champions League and the Title, to making sure that we finish 4th and qualify for the Champions League...

Where we'll do the bare minimum ... and repeat. Same old sh*te year after year.

[Kano]

Time to book a place on the plane for Rashford.

Well we have to upgrade or persist with him. Do you guys realise how old Merts is. Is he going to be our no 1 pair CB next season too?. I agree that Gabriel was at fault for the 2nd goal, kept reversing into this box when he should have made a block outside the box. He was a good defender until he came to us.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Gabriel is making too many mistakes whenever he comes into the side. No point having him in the team for pace if he just dicks it up everywhere else.

It's the Vermaelen problem again. Two similar defenders whereas when BFG is in there, the role for the other is absolutely clear.

Having said that, we left the midfield space massively open again.

Wenger after the match.

"blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah, great character, blah blah blah"

Our midfield is a shambles without Cazorla. Headless chicken Flamini or headless chicken Ramsey.
