A response from the cesspool of shark because apparently actually having a discussion instead of constantly judging your season against your neighbours is frowned upon over there:
1. United has not scored an away goal against the other top 6 teams this season (Spurs to come), so have had two losses and two draws. United used to know they can win every game, no excuses. Mentality needs to improve to get higher on the table.
2. United played deep (almost 6 at the back) against the 3-4-3. It didn't work against Chelsea the first time and it didn't work this time. But playing a 3-5-2 vs Chelsea the second time worked? Why the change?
3. Why did United let Welbeck go? He is at that perfect age between Rashford and Zlatan/Rooney, he has loads of energy, he can play wide if need be, and he is a youth team product. And he is pretty good, when not injured. Another LvG mistake - putting his faith in Falcao over him. Ugh.
4. Why do Ozil and Sanchez (seem to) sulk and go missing when there is no longer anything to play for? They just don't seem to have that energy and desire you see in those top class players, whatever the game. For Sanchez to be outshone by Tuanzebe in his first league start is crazy (the kid looks good).
On a final note, the only difference between the teams at the moment is that United have improved their style of play from previous years and that has given the fans the sense of belief that there is more to come. Arsenal have played the same way, with the same type of players with the same type of results for a number of years now, and the fans don't have any sort of belief that there is more two come. If that is what the club is content with, then that's great. Ultimately, both teams are relying upon cup success to turn a mediocre season into a reasonably good one.
1. United setting up to park the bus is embarrassing. I used to destroy my Chelsea friends for it and now look at us. Strangely enough when we started attack we relieved ourselves of the Arsenal pressure. Funny that.
Parking the bus isn't acceptable at the best of times, definetly not when it consistently fails.
3. Because next week he will default to being his usual mediocre wasteful self, hence why he is an Arsenal player.
4. It's a good question for Arsenal fans because Sanchez looks so much better than the rest of the team. But the public displays of frustration seem fairly childish and aren't helpful. I know personally playing with people like that makes everyone scared and makes their game worse.
