Matchday Thread - Arsenal v Man Utd - 4 October 2015

We'll paper over the enormous cracks with a win I reckon

Let's hope so. Man u is highly overrated.

Is this real life?

Come on. It's not like they're olympiakos...

They are way over rated. We can kill them, Theo and Sanchez like up perfectly. They don't have defenders that can much us up for speed. But we must be strong and wise at the back...without Kos it could be a problem

This team is to mentally weak to win against motivated competition.

Totally agree...the team is mentally week...

We can, and have come back many times and won (FA cup vs Hull being the most obvious) so I wouldn't say we're mentally weak. Rather we have the concentration and attention span of an autistic monkey. We pass it around for 60 minutes and fall asleep, then the opposition get that one chance and nail it.

Cech; Bellerin - Gabriel - Mertesacker - Monreal; Coquelin - Cazorla; Ramsey - Özil - Alexis; Walcott

"@Orbinho: Giroud (511) has a worse mins/goal ratio vs. sides to finish in the top 4 each season than William Gallas (405) for Arsenal via @mark_hazell" lol

I can't imagine them being mentally weak. We have players who are experienced. Problem for me, this season, is being wasteful. Against Olympiakos for example in the opening minutes we had a counter 5v3 it was I think. Ox had the ball and he blasted it wide while Theo was well open for a tap in. Same for Theo, after that counter we had another one and Theo chose to take it instead of passing it to Alexis in a far better position. I know they're only two moments but so far we've been by far most wasteful in the league.

I agree with VA, we have not been able to convert the number of chances that we have created but now that our strikes are converting the chances i expect us to put a show. All i fear is with loss of LK6 at back, him and GP5 would have been a better combo.

I don't mind losing, I just don't want Martial to score.

Is this what you have become?! What have they done to you?

Arsenal turned me into a broken individual.

Id rather they win and allow martial to score 5

Yo got corrupted IX, you better get reboot fast !!!!

This is our first 20 min every game, but for first time this season our intensity in the first 20 min was rewarded, Its the same team, same game play, only difference is the motivation.

Arsenal! Arsenal! Arsenal! Awesome first 25 minutes by the team in first half and fabulous defending in second half, but frankly we could have scored more goals. Rambo missed a sitter, he is lacking confidence the 4th goal in 30 minutes would have opened flood gates.

Fantastic result. Hopefully manure is unable to bounce back from this and suffers a prolonged spell of bad form.

Ok Arsenal. I love you again.
