Well deserved losers.

Arsenal had the 4 best performers on the pitch, Gabriel at CB, Partey in CM, Saka and Lacazette with supporting roles with good pressing and ball winning.

We improved a bit in the 2nd half especially when Matic came on for Fred. Matic was one of the better performers in our team not that it was a high bar
 
First defeat at Old Trafford to Arsenal in the last 15 years. Well done Ole. Like Moyes did, he's breaking some records now. The wrong records. Even Moyes didn't lose to this lot ffs.

Far better team than Arsenal my ass. Not creating anything on your turf, only looking to counter attack like minnows and can't deal with their press. Yeah, we have the far better players but they have the far better manager.
Embarrassing you had that typed up in notepad in anticipation for this thread.
 
Garbage. We had no clue today. Couldn’t work the ball, couldn’t create chances. It’s same old story with Ole - we can’t ever get a run going.
 
Arsenal own us, we are shit in the league. It's great that we can win big games with our counter attacking play, but Ole needs to go if he can't find a formula to win games like this.
 
We cannot break down teams at all. We press and then either pass the ball backwards or faff around with it and lose possession.
 
Another cowardly performance from Ole. Got both the formation and personnel wrong. We have no clue how to attack in an organised way
 
Utter crap.

The only way we're in the champions League next year is if we win it this year
 
Ridiculous tactics, ridiculous game management, ridiculous officiating, ridiculous Man Utd.

What else can you say, losing against Arsenal is always harsh
 
Fully deserved result. A very very flat performance.

You can make an hour long compilation video from this match alone of how terrible our defenders are with the ball on their feet.

Stupid tackle from Pogba, the only time in the match he had any impact in the box.
 
I think the pathetic fracturing of the fanbase is a mirror of our performance today. Ole in/ole out, Pogba in/pogba out every week is a horrific overreaction.
 
Complete and utter tactical feck up by the manager. We were playing from behind from the first minute at home! We made it easy for them and honestly they should have been out of sight at half time.
 
Disgraceful performance. Overpaid bunch of bottlers with a manager that has no clue what he's doing.
 
What is the fecking point with this team?!?!?!?!

Pull off a great tactical victory against PSG then show up against Chelsea starting the match with our tail between our legs. Then have a great result against RB Leipzig and then put in this fecking piece of shit performance! Goes to show how important Martial is to this team.

How the feck are supposed to create any fecking sense of momentum when we show up like this!?!
 
we were absolute shite from start to finish

Pogba useless

Ole's had a shocker with his subs

its not an excuse but how Dean didn't give a second yellow to Gabriel is beyond me
 
We were so poor in that first half and in the second created nothing. Oles far too cautious in games like this and I hate it. Also not that it’s an excuse but how did arsenal finish with 11 men. That challenge on greenwood was a clear second yellow.
 
We could play for 200 minutes and still have 0 goals.

Our players have given up on this season's league.

To next season!!1
 
First big 6 side to lose against Arsenal at home in 30 games. fecking disgraceful. Terrible setup (Fred at the base of the diamond what the feck), terrible subs, no desire whatsoever. Pogba should hang his head in shame. Can't wait to see the back of him and I've been a big supporter for years
 
Missed Martial (or any actual number 9) so much in both this and the Chelsea game
 
How is it possible to play like we did vs PSG and Liepzig and so trash vs Chelsea and Arsenal especially Arsenal they are terrible themselves!
 
Even lower than the Tottenham game I think, as at least we had the no pre season, Martial early red, Maguire smashing some twat abroad situations conspiring.

No excuses today, just crap.

Without the two superb european displays, Ole would be absolutely teetering on the sack wagon.
 
Fuming. A game that 30 mins in and its glaringly obvious that what we are trying to do isn’t working.



OGS doesn’t make suitable changes at half time. Still, after a further 25 mins of tumescent football no progressive changes are made.



It took him at least 15 mins of second half to decide Matic for Fred!....Really



Restored to Matic diving for a penalty, Maguire diving for a penalty. Seriously. It’s pathetic.



Arsenal with Elneny in midfield dominated us in the middle of the park. Elneny.



Fred, Matic, McTominay aren’t good enough if we’re honest. Sure they can press and destroy but utterly clueless with the ball at their feet. Not helped by Pogba being woeful, Bruno being woeful.



And when we’re chasing a goal, he takes Greenwood off.



Surely a front 3 of Rashford, Cavani, Greenwood would have been a better option.



I’m not OGS out. Far from it. I think he’s building a decent squad and his man management appears to be fine. He really struggles with in game management. Like he has a plan (including subs) and regardless of how the game plays out he sticks to that plan
Not sure Bruno and DVB think his man management if fine. I also think Cavani will have his doubts as well.
 
I just wonder what these high quality players think when they're a month or so in to their Old Trafford careers....

Sheer bewilderment.
 
Things are fairly simple. If a team doesn't give us space to counter attack, we can't do jack shiit against them.
 
1 point home to Chelsea, Spurs, Arsenal and Palace

Abysmal
 
I think the pathetic fracturing of the fanbase is a mirror of our performance today. Ole in/ole out, Pogba in/pogba out every week is a horrific overreaction.
There's not too much of that is there??
 
Put pogba infront of the cameras for an interview. We deserve an explanation
 
How McT played a full 90 mins is beyond me. Offered absolutely nothing. Should've came off for VdB
