polishgenius Posted September 3, 2023 Share Posted September 3, 2023 We have started to come back into the game, despite the immediate reply, but also we are lucky Arsenal have chosen to start with ten men. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ljkeane Posted September 3, 2023 Share Posted September 3, 2023 (edited) A bit of a weird half. United look quite good on the ball in their defensive third but as soon as they pass it into midfield they look very blunt. Arsenal have largely been pretty comfortable but they’re also mostly not looking particularly threatening, until they went behind and immediately carved United open to equalise. They then went back to not doing much. ETA: Good bit of VAR work there for me. Very similar to the Eze one against Arsenal. Unusual that they overturn it but the right call I’d say.

polishgenius Posted September 3, 2023 Share Posted September 3, 2023 Arsenal finally bringing on their 11th man, ideally we would have been leading by now. Hojlund showing early signs he's got the physicality and movement we need at least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corvinus85 Posted September 3, 2023 Share Posted September 3, 2023 Arsenal got away there. Looking complacent in defense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

polishgenius Posted September 3, 2023 Share Posted September 3, 2023 That was all the more irritating coz after the shit first half hour we were good. Lot of positive performances but mistakes at the back let us down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raja Posted September 3, 2023 Share Posted September 3, 2023 Can united not show up in these juventus kits btw Also, think we got away with it a bit there - we didn't seem like we wanted the win and played a lot of that in 3rd gear with a weird lack of intensity can't complain too much cause fuck bruno and it's always nice to win against the old enemy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mexal Posted September 3, 2023 Share Posted September 3, 2023 Also, Declan Rice was fantastic all game. Goal was a good finish to that performance. Monster. Spockydog and Nas! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasn't even about committing people forward though - we had so many situations where just a bit of patience and composure with the 3-4 people we had in attack and we would have had the goal.

Nas! Posted September 3, 2023 Share Posted September 3, 2023 Was hoping to see both clubs flexing their title credentials but nothing of the sort from either today. Good late business from Arsenal but that overall performance won’t have Pep too worried I shouldn’t think. I see Dec is starting to get used to operating 1) with his team in possession, and 2) further up the pitch. That interception where he reached his leg out (87th minute-ish?) was perfect Rice and might have been really important to the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
