right on schedule, lose to a physical team struggling to even fill their bench due to lack of workrate and effort. Wtf was Martial doing all game?? Forget the goals ruled out by “fouls” and them smashing into De Gea for the first (which wasnt called) this should have been contained from the get go.

Citeh showed how to deal with a team like that by wacking Wba 5-0 and will probably do the same to Sheffield on the weekend

not confident going into the Emirates at all

No and thats literally the last position they should prioritize upgrading

yeah we just aren't consistently pressuring the goal and creating enough chances.
Its not like its a situation where we were bombarding Sheffield United's (and now arsenal's) goal but couldn't quite score like was common in many of the early mourinho/ibra days where a few too many games were drawn vs lesser teams. Despite getting a reputation for parking the bus vs top teams that side had the 4th most shots and THE most big chances missed.

A blown call or two shouldn't be the difference between winning and losing to garbage teams. They shouldn't be in the game.

I think Martial and Rashford ultimately aren't good enough if Manchester United want to be world beaters. Another garbage performance today.
A Kane or Lewa type quality striker would do wonders. Maybe Greenwood can be that guy eventually, but this season is slipping away fast.

Rashford is fine but he has to play LW or in a 2 ST position with him as left striker. Forcing him to play elsewhere to suit the team is a waste of time he isnt as well-rounded as Rooney was at 23. Greenwood is 19 he cannot be expected to lead the line and hes having a major sophomore season slump. Martial theres no excuse anymore dunno wtf happened to him vs last year its like he got replaced by some random who won a sweepstakes to play for United.

awful performance today against another weakened side, 5 points dropped in 4 days while Citeh keep notching Ws without getting out of 2nd gear. Schedule doesnt get any easier with Southampton, Everton, and Big Sam next up in the Prem.

Fine margins tonight. Lacazette crossbar, Pepe good chances but also Cavani with two great chances. The game could have gone either way.

yeah with Greenwood I mean a few years down the road, if that wasn't clear. They need someone now.

Martial is doing a great Memphis Depay impression and should probably ship off to France to rejuvenate his career too.

scoreline is harsh but when someone does a flying tackle 1 minute in not much can be done. glad martial scored twice maybe he can snap out of his funk already. feel bad for Southampton but United really needed to erase fully that 1-6 nightmare on the goal difference front
