Another Ode disasterclaas. Rice is the real leader of this team as shown today again.
Man U vs Arsenal | Sunday 09 March | 16.30 UK Time.
It’s disgusting that a team with the quality we have, the title ambitions we have, goes to United in the state they are in and feel lucky to come away with a draw. Absolutely disgusting.
If we weren’t playing relegation candidates we would have lost by a few today.
Raya motm. Defense was weak and vulnerable, especially down the wings. Our midfield started strong then fell apart in the second half. Merino was a liability. Trossard hurt us more than helped and Odegaard was good but created a whole lot of nothing.
We deserved nothing from that, all pressure and no penetration
Take the point and move on. Martinelli was bright at least basically our only attacking threat. So painful watching us attack atm.
Absolute dogshit, that. Shouldn't be a suprise I guess, much better Arsenal teams than this one have failed the Old Trafford test, but to not beat this United side.... Yeah, I'm quite angry. Although not as angry as Tam seems to be.
The sheer negligence of investing in our forward line is clear to see, with a better front-line this game would be done and dusted by 30 minutes.
Odegaard is great at pressing, no player in his position does that better
However his tippy tappy touches and so much of the ball yield really little
He had a great chance to win it and the freekick as well
We're so bad.
TambourineMan we are 2nd and hair recorded our best away win in Europe. We have issues but “we are so bad”.

That was our worst performance of the season but:
1) Saka and Martinelli should be back for the CL QFs.
2) It seems unlikely that anyone we play in the Champions League would play stylistically like Man U did today.
3) There's basically no way we fall out of CL places even if the sky falls down.
So it's not really clear if today's performance really "means" much in a forward-looking sense.

RocktheCasbah what’s there to be angry about? The league season is done. CL OR BUST.
I’m struggling to see how we’re better next season without Jorginho and Partey, with only
Zubimendi in. That looks like a downgrade to me.
