They made a right bollocks of that. arteta needs to be more positive in how he sets up this team.

Yep, though Auba aside, we're not clinical enough to ensure we score enough goals to make up for a defence that just isn't good enough to play out from the back. Laca's not in the elite striker league, fond of him though I am, and whoever managed the other side of a there deal where we paid £72m for an entirely left-footed Pepe must have been a business genius

Indeed! I once bought a bag of footy boots from someone who worked at the Arsenal training ground - the highlight's were Romford Pele's Nikes and a pair of GG's Copa Mundial. I always wondered if George was on a cut of even such low level shifty-ness!

I thought paul Pogba was meant to be some sort of world class player?
He's brought absolutely nothing to the Utd side today.
Mind, Gabriel is bloody lucky to be still on the pitch - I like him, but he needs to tone it down sometimes.

Also think that he could be liberated by other clubs from Man Utd could be a myth . No way would Man Utd get their cost back .ooh, it's cruel to mock the afflicted

On current form, no chance. they still may end up cutting their losses, if he continues to be this poor. They did it with DiMaria - amongst others.

I should temper my earlier exuberance: we still lack a creative/playmaker type in midfield, and Laca worked hard today, but he still looks some way short of what we need.
having said that, solve those two problem and this side will be awesome - thye've got pretty much everything else, plus some excellent squad players (Nketiah, Willock, Nelson, AMN, Martinelli, Saliba, Chambers, Mari....).

Di Maria went on to produce some great displays at PSG, not sure which club Pogba could do that at tbh.

Actually, true, I always thought he was way better than Van Gaal the skill-killer was allowing him to be

Having watched the game again, I'm more impressed than before. They took the game to United, and were on top for all but the last 10 minutes (when they - understandably - parked the bus). They were aggressive, well-organised and pressed well. Everyone seemed to know exactly what they were meant to do. Bodes well.

Excellent performance tonight. Pepe certainly redeemed himself after that little embarrassment in yorkshire. Nelson and Balogun also looked like the future of this club - really terrific contributons from both.

Don't get carried away. that was an easy game. Pepe is still shit. Agreed on Nelson and Balogun though.

I thought pepe had an excellent game, myself. He's certainly got the talent. Arteta just needs to find a way to unleash it regularly in the EPL
