    Last time you had such an easy game v Arsenal, Cleverley and Anderson were the midfield pairing im am 8-2 stroll for us.

    Sanchez and Cazorla in particular have been poor. This is literally the worst time to go off the boil when we have a cup final very soon.

    I'd bring on Jack, get some bite in the midfield and get further forward. Giroud has been garbage, looks like he's running in peanut butter. I'd see if he improves in the second half, if not bring on Theo - it would give their defence something to think about.

    And can someone for the life of me please explain why Ramsey is still playing on the right hand side? Makes no bloody sense.

    Far too poor. Get Wilshere and Theo for Cazorla and Ramsey. We need an injection of pace and energy ASAP.

    Ramsey is not a winger, why the **** does Wenger like to persist in doing something that doesn't work? **** me, what does he see that's working that we don't? He sticks and sticks and sticks to a failing method.

    Lively start and looked like we were up for it for the first twenty minutes, then there pressing kicked in and started to stop us playing or getting to the second ball. They've doubled up on giroud so we can't play the long ball out as effectively.

    Why didn't Fellaini get a yellow for the intentional handball? I know in general is a **** but isn't a hand ball on purpose a yellow?

    Utd look more physically up for this game, they seem to have the speed and strength over us so far, we need to really start battling.

    Ozil getting frustrated with little fouls on him and giroud not doing what he wants him to and Cazorla keeps passing to the opposition. If we can free up a little space for these two we will do much better. Also with giroud being doubled up on our other players need to close in and mark the remaining utd players, with them doubling up we should be able to adapt and get the ball more.

    They're not going to play that badly in the final. My fear is that on current viewing we might.

    Because it's worked really well for our winning run. It helps us stifle the opponent and flood the midfield, but in a game like this it simply isn't working, utd look more physically capable and we need some speed to pin back there LB.

    We were ****, that's all that needs to be said, we have been dog ****, complete dog ****, not a single effort on goal, they didn't even try, playing like a bunch of cowardly ****wits.

    That might be all you need to say but I like to go slightly more in depth than "****" with my analysis :p

    No it hasnt worked, our winning run hasnt been because of Ramsey doing good from the right, but has come from other areas, Ramsey is not a winger, and never will be. Even in games we won, Ramsey did not look good on the wing. Swansea should have been a wake up call to change things up with that, but no, we stick to it, and we looked completely **** from the right.

    We have been shockingly poor today, is the pressure getting to them or something?

    Well we can't possibly play any worse second half and hopefully with some subs we can get better.

    Sorry i disagree, we have had chances with our players in bags of space, but we have been ****, lacking effort and heart, simple as that, this has nothing to do with United being great or doubling down. Us being garbage and not even trying is making it easy for United.

    Swansea played a completely different way to utd today, so changes based on that game aren't necessarily what we needed. Though I agree Ramsey on the wing for this game isn't working. But it has worked well several times in our winning run of games.

    Ramsey is very effective from the middle, just put him there, it's where he shines.
