I think they've played far worse than today in earlier games tbh

If there is any good in the world it will be a Bradford v Blackburn final.

Anyways, fed up with LVG. He's been a massive disappointment.

I dont think we'll make top 4 due to this guy's tactics/subs and our crap defense. De Gea is basically our defense and the reason we're in the top 4.

Get rid in the summer and start over.

United were pathetic. At least small teams coached by big Sam would play longball but not dive.

United were diving all over the place and hoofing it to Fellaini the whole game Laughing

I guess the first half was slightly better, but even then it was a plan of give the ball to Di Maria and let him cross it. No attacking plan besides crossing and hoofing lmao LVG is clueless.

Best thing since Sterling touched Webb Laughing

Gotta love these refs for at least their reactions to such things Proud

Van Gaal says he has no regrets selling Welbeck to #afc, praised Falcao's "4 goals/3 assists" &

adds Valencia #mufc's “best player tonight”

by Unique Mon Mar 09, 2015 11:05 pm

as a Liverpool fan I have no love for Manchester red. but I have 2 things to say. 1.. the ref had his back turned so could not see that di maria was the one that tugged his shirt. and 2.. im not sure the tug was that bad anyway. but all in all arsenal were the better team and well played to them.

I agree with that. man u as a club. and LVG as a manager should be better than that tbh.

by Kick Mon Mar 09, 2015 11:29 pm

First time in a long time that I have seen a a big team gift a rival a victory.

Didn't LVG say before the game that he wanted top 4 over FA cup? Well, he's on track for that, now.

Perhaps Valencia was their best player because he provided the assist for the winner? hmm

by El Gunner Tue Mar 10, 2015 12:05 am

Lol Kick, those bunch won't even finish 4th, they're awful.

by Kick Tue Mar 10, 2015 12:09 am

They won't if Liverpool keep up their form but they are 4th at present.

I was trying to subtly hint that Utd threw the game Wink

by Harmonica Tue Mar 10, 2015 12:10 am

Anyone else noticed this? What on earth was De Gea doing? scratch

by El Gunner Tue Mar 10, 2015 12:15 am

^^lol did that actually happen? Laughing

by Kick Tue Mar 10, 2015 12:17 am

he was getting into a position for a back pass, he did similar things a few times.

by El Gunner Tue Mar 10, 2015 12:19 am

^^Yeah, that makes sense now. So obvious.

by Kick Tue Mar 10, 2015 12:28 am

It's safer if he makes a mistake, but if his team mates do, it's a certain goal.

I don't have still understood a thing, but who is the Arsenal 1st GK now ? Ospina or Sczesny ?

by RealGunner Tue Mar 10, 2015 1:07 am

Ospina

Wenger always uses the 2nd keeper for FA cup which is Szczesny atm.

However both seems to be solid-very good keepers with Ospina edging. We really need a top class keeper who is Courtois/Neuer/Buffon level.

Probably going to stick with Ospina which is fine.

by Twoism Tue Mar 10, 2015 1:08 am

Ospina has a spot for league games, Chesny played today due to cup game. No one is clear number one yet, if it's up to fan wishes, none of them should be number one.

Yes, I had this doubt exactly when I saw Sczesny starter today , remembering Fabiansky last year

Well tbh I appreciated enough Sczesny wen he was 1st GK hmm

I didn't think he would have lost spot again as 2 years ago after that mistake against Blackburn in FA Cup .
Probably he never would have done if he didn't got injured , Ospina played in place of him for this reason and Wenger liked him.

I don't know well Ospina so I can't rate him ,Arsenal needs of stability in that role anyway

by RealGunner Tue Mar 10, 2015 1:17 am

Everyone liked/likes Szczesny. He is a very very good keeper. But he is inconsistent. He will make stupid mistakes and make stupid decisions. He thinks he is better than he is(not that he is bad).

We do need stability. Depends on what Arsene has in mind this summer.

by Art Morte Tue Mar 10, 2015 5:44 am

Falcao was not even called from the bench amid United's increasing panic, which saw the great tactician Van Gaal end with the giant figures of Marouane Fellaini and Chris Smalling up front.

You know it's good when even the BBC take a jab at LVG eco smile
