Fantastic game. Both teams played very well.
Hard loss for Arsenal. 3 moments of stupidity cost them 3 goals and the game. Outside of those 3 moments, they played very well.
Man Utd were excellent. More balanced than Arsenal. Better CF play, better CM play and better CB play. All through the spine of their team. More physical. More toughness. Well drilled defensively and dangerous when they went forward. Lingard and Martial were excellent with their runs, dribbling and interplay with Pogba and Lukaku. Everyone contributed well for Utd.
Pogba was man of the match for me despite the red card. He was superb.
I don't like watching chasing for a goal in last 10-15 minutes of the game. They rarely look like they will get one. Too predictable. Too central. Always trying to play through the packed defense right on the edge of the box. Too slow in their build up. Rarely look like creating a chance despite loads of possession.
I thought De Gea was MOTM. If not for him, this would have been a scoring party for us.
The defence cost us this game...
MOTM? More like Man of the Century! Poor little Wenger...what whiny excuses will the "specialist" in deflection offer in the post-match presser?
Surely he'll blame the referee, especially on that Danny Welbeck challenge (was a penalty by the way).
But he should be blaming his defence. His back three costed this team 3 goals, and for that matter, 3 points. Mustafi could not clear the ball, and Koscielny, the one who should be one of the most reliable, made two boneheaded decisions.
I feel really bad for the front lines. They have went out of their way to get back, only to be deflated because the defence was stupid.
And David De Gea, Jesus. Great decision not selling him to Real Madrid.
