You can see why Arsenal dumped Leno so rapidly. He’s putting Fulham under all sorts of pressure

 

Dunk with the equalizer in stoppage time on his 400th appearance let’s goooo

 

United's season is going to be over by the time Hoijund is back from injury. Out of the Cup next week, top 4 borderline impossible. Martinez and Shaw out is huge, but no excuse for the invisible midfield. Absolutely atrocious today.

 

Tbf he was an excellent shot stopper for us, but his distribution is genuinely awful and he had big issues with crosses.

 

How has Adam Smith got away without a bookimg? lol.

 

Yeah he’s a good stopper for sure, but between his saves seemingly always falling back into the danger zone and his distribution inviting pressure it’s easy to see why he was dropped

 

Bayern-Leipzig has been a snoozefest

 

Kane has had two insane chances. The header in the opening few minutes required a very special save and then the bicycle kick would have been a sure goal if not straight at the keeper. But can never complain about an on target bike

 

Harry!

 

Howe made the change I was hoping he wouldn't make dropping Burn for Livramento. Tonight won't be as clear cut for Saka.

 

Karius in goal?

i think that ruins my hopes of Newcastle getting anything from this game lol

 

Yea what’s the deal with that goalkeeper change? Is Dubravka hurt?

 

out with illness apparently

 

Dubravka is 35??? Another one of those keepers who is permanently "young" in my head

 

Arsenal are absolute units at set pieces.

 

Wait how does Gabriel not get an assist credit for that own goal? Dude continues to get robbed of points again & again this season.

 

Oh no, Havertz!

 

Arsenal are quite good at football, aren't they?

 

Why couldn't we do this in Porto? Lol

This is great fun.

 

Can someone explain why Kiwior gets goal credit for that?

 

Arteta actually subbed key players off?!

 

There was a point in the United-Fulham game where a Fulham player received the ball at the halfway line and the entire United half was empty up until the 18 yard box. Casemiro and Mainoo were on the opposite wing also on the halfway line and Bruno was up around Rashford.

That’s the stuff that worries me when we talk about ten Hag. I obviously understand the problems he’s had to deal with, but we’ve been dominated every single game we’ve played. You can’t just do the same thing time and time again only for it to keep costing us key points, it’s proving he’s not a tactically inept enough coach moving forward.

Also, a goal differential of zero? That’s fucking one behind Chelsea!

 

What an evening. We look absolutely lethal at home, and we’re a menace at set pieces. Every time we got one, you could feel the anticipation through out the crowd.

We are just so much fun since the winter break.

 

Nice to get the win to open the season. Should’ve been a much more comfortable score line but we held on. Dean Smith already looks like a big upgrade at manager.

Oh and this happened. This kid was announced as a signing during our inaugural season during a friendly match against Chelsea. And in that game we had a different 15 year made a key play for our tying goal.
