Arsenal vs Man United, League, Sunday 3rd Sep, 4.30pm

Segway

Fuuuuuuck yes! What a relief. Rice is going to be an Arsenal legend isn't he? What a player.

It's alarming, however, that our attacking play and finishing was so woeful again. Saka was almost Antony bad today and that miskick from Havertz is one of the worst I've seen.

Kel Varnsen

When was the last time Saka looked like Saka? Six months ago?

Bring Back Kerrea Gilbert

Kel Varnsen bit fed up with him and his predictability.

By the way, Onana was really good with his feet but fuck me his butter fingers are hilarious. Dodgy as fuck hands hahahaha

Pepe LeFrits Did we? I thought we outplayed them for long stretches but I don't recall much chance creation,

most of the xG was on the Saka miss and Jesus goal. No idea why the Odegaard goal was low xG.

Qwiss

banduan got to be a fair bit on the Havertz chance too.

Vieira seems to have come of age since his Community Shield winning penalty. Another decisive contribution off the bench. I'd consider bringing him or Jorginho into the midfield.

Nelson also favoured over Trossard off the bench today.

He also releases ball very quickly, when you want to win a game, you have to make sure your actions are as fluid and quick and possible, and he did that all the time today, also was visibly frustrated with lack of movement from others at one time and I have to admit I really liked it.

Clrnc

Pepe LeFrits I thought we outplayed them for long stretches but I don't recall much chance creation, apart from that one for Saka, which he really should have buried. If ever there was a game to highlight the fine margins in football, this was it.

Yep don't disagree with that. We had many corners, we have many possession outside of the box and pot shots but didn't trouble Onana till late on. Was the same against Fulham. Could have easily lost from that super tight offside that didn't look like offside but when we win, seriously don't stuffs don't matter anymore. Especially against the manc cunts. Got lucky but fucking get in!

It's intentional. We pass up dozens and dozens of crossing opportunities in every single match which would lead to a higher xG, but also many more counter-attacking opportunities for the opposition.

I think we haven't quite found the right balance between patience and penetration, mainly because we're actively trying to play higher and with more dominance than last season. We need a little patience as fans for the new patterns to form and for things to really come together.

Dragan

Great composure. Not the best performance, but the result is all that mattered today. I hope the team enjoys the international break and comes back sharp after it, plenty of matches in quick succession follow.

Qwiss got to be a fair bit on the Havertz chance too.

that's a problem with xG - if it didn't count as a shot it's not registered.

Clrnc

Vieira is always very good with those through balls innit? Did exactly the same against Villa to put Martinelli through.

And as Martinelli shown at Anfield, very easy to misplace the weight of those pass that looked easy but Vieira really have a wand of a left foot.

Thought all our subs did have a good impact when they came on. Tomi was confident in possession playing in midfield and helped out alot in defensive interception. Vieira added urgency and was available alot to keep ball going as compared to Havertz. Nelson and Jesus impact was very obvious. Kudos to Arteta.

Yeah. I think it's still non-obvious who starts there, but when Havertz is in it's almost like we're throwing away our chance of a fast start currently.

Burnwinter

Pepe LeFrits Did we? I thought we outplayed them for long stretches but I don't recall much chance creation, apart from that one for Saka, which he really should have buried.

Also Havertz' chance, and of course Jesus's goal was massive on xG (rises to 0.8) because of his final touch.

Well deserved win, having both maintained more control, and created more.

KingslandBarge

Ten hag takes zero accountability once again with his post match comments coming in. What a whinger, especially as he set out his team to hack, waste time, and pray for counters.

Clrnc

KingslandBarge even that cunt Bruno was fair in his comments. Got baited by the interviewer "you were on top of the game, did you feel like the win was coming and then you scored the goal that was offside".

He said something like no they were getting battered the entire game but knew they had fast players on the counter so played to their strategy

Qwiss

KingslandBarge he's a fraud.

Clrnc

Burnwinter Havertz mostly don't try to make himself available, but rather runs in behind or make himself another body in the box. Almost like we are playing 2 up front and I think that's by design. It should work better soon once they gel

DiabyKungFu

Qwiss he's a fraud.

I've heard from a Manchester United supporting friend that he's bald too.

Kel Varnsen

Clrnc

Doubt it. Havertz lacks the individual skill.

Qwiss

Hoijland is very hateable
