David Moyes in disguise, introducing Mikel Arteta

Going into work tomorrow is going to be difficult. Imagine losing to these punks who are playing with ten. We need to look beyond Arteta. Even if we try for an attacker he isn't coming here to play this kind of football.

Claudius this has been coming for a while.

Thing is United are shit. This is so so bad

    Coombs Jorginho looked like he wa carrying a knock

      Coombs I mean, it looked to me like Jorge had a groin injury. There's a lot you can throw at Arteta right now, but I'm not sure this is it.

        lorddulaarsenal we're worse. We struggled to attack and even defend against a 10 man United

        RocktheCasbah Bukayo is a superstar. Which nobody else on this team really is. Makes a massive difference to have a player who can bend the game to his will.

        Hope Kroenke is focused on this and not the Vikings game

          This was pathetic. We’re a man up, chasing a goal, and at most one or two players in the box when we attack. The way they all stand at the edge of the box it’s clearly by instruction. Which I guess there could be a point to but then not by firing endless crosses. Tierney had a great ball but no one there. Odegaard a few too.

          And don’t get me started on Havertz. That’s why we used to laugh at him at Chelsea, can’t finish. At least sterling was trying to make things happen by dribbling. That’s why Arteta doesn’t play him, that’s not the plan but guess he had no choice today.

          And that was the worse penalty shootout performance by a keeper since Shilton back in whatever that World Cup was.

          RocktheCasbah what's really frustrating me right now is that when Odegaard was out Saka carried us. Yet with Saka out Ode has disappeared. I thought if we had one of them we'd be ok.

          Chaps, I’m actually in a state of shock.

            QuincyAbeyie can't believe I went to work early today just so I could leave home in time to watch this shower.

            QuincyAbeyie I mean those of you without your head in the clouds should have seen this coming. I, on the other hand, am mortified. 😱

            My only saving grace tonight is thank fuck I didn't get tickets.

            Maguire and De Ligt are slow and dopey yet we made them look like defensive titans. Arteta's lost without Saka overproducing.

            Claudius should have carried it a little further. Tierney coming in is what makes no sense, though.
