    The pressure is already mounting for Kai.

    Arsenal is not a Club you can cruise at (particularly now) If we loose and he has a bad game the media & fans are gonna come after him.

    He needs to have a good game more than anyone.

    Good to see Gabby and Zinchenko back in the lineup

    Arsenal 0-1 Man Utd. Rashford. Of course, we’ve been dominating the game, Havertz plays a really loose pass that gets intercepted and Rashford is able to finish off. Horrible start for Havertz after that big miss earlier.

    1-1! Instant response from Odegaard! Lovely team goal and just what we wanted to see after conceding so sloppily. Let’s go at them, they’re there for the taking.

    1-1 We've been the better side but Rashford looks dangerous on the break

    Shy Kavertz is annoying me already.

    Odegaard is the danger man for us. Would like to see Jesus come of for Eddie

    Havertz’s confidence is rock bottom. He sliced an absolute sitter from 8 yards under no pressure and then played a hospital ball that led to United’s goal because we’d pushed up.

    I think for his own sake he needs to be taken off. We should be winning this game 2-0 and instead it’s 1-1.

    That said, United are being given too much space and respect when they have the ball and in transition. We need to engage better.

    Why are we so open on the counter? They are having so much joy…

    No idea why we're not making changes here. United have gathered too much impetus since the penalty overturn. It's so obvious Jesus and Vieira need to come on. Whatever job Havertz was meant to do, he hasn't done it well enough.

    Ben White is scared by Rashford. He always just falls back and gives him space.

    This is really not a good performance. We're only just making subs now, which we should have done 10 minutes ago, and they've got no pressure on them when they have the ball. United haven't even played that well, we've just decided to also not play today either.

    WOW weird subs.

    I would have gone Jorginho and Jesus.

    Viera and Tomi?

    How has Saka missed that...he needs to score there. That's as bad as the Havertz miss in the opening minutes.

    Saka has had a really horrid game. Man, nothing is coming off for him at all. Another bad touch when he was in a chance to shoot from inside the box.

    Man United go 2-1 up. We've been awful. We deserve that.

    And yet another opportunity spurned because of a loose touch that leads to United getting back in shape...

    FT. 3-1.

    We've got away with one today, as that wasn't a great performance, but the subs made a huge difference. Vieira and Jesus made a monumental impact coming in and were both trying to make things happen.

    We have a lot of work on our style that we need to sort out, but at least we can be happy for the next two weeks <diva>

    Another poor performance but 10pts from 4 games when we've been poor is promising. At some point we'll start to click.
