The Mailbox reacts to Arsenal’s win, with the blame for Man Utd’s defeat pinned on Erik ten Hag. Also: Liverpool, Spurs, Mudryk’s debut, and Everton’s doom spiral…
Mctominay is not just good enough even for a squad players, dude spent 90 minutes hiding and shying away from the ball.
Agreed this is a team in transition and it is too early to place expectations. But we had our chance yesterday and we didn’t take it. That we had a chance in the first place is in itself proof of how much we have improved. Utd were not far away from them in E10Hs first season showing how far he’s taken us in such a short space of time. Utd are a team on the up but so too are Arsenal. Whatever happens this season we must expect this Arsenal team to get better especially given how young they are. City will probably also get better next season. E10H has done a great job thus far helped with quite a few new signings, it feels like a few more still are required that fit the bill.
There are still a lot of noticeable weaknesses in the United team against the big teams. Disappointing to concede two last minute goals in the space of 4 days, the Palace game was definitely a game United should have won, but given United played midweek and Arsenal didn’t, no wonder Arsenal suffocated United in the last 25 minutes of the game last night. I knew Arsenal would score a third goal, but to do so in such late fashion was frustrating to say the least.
– That Saka kid isn’t bad at all is he? What a player with a great attitude. Have noticed that he hardly loses the ball as well, is ridiciously quick & strong on the ball and his goal yesterday was pure class. Given he is only 21 is scary to think, he is going to become even better. Next season or two I see him grabbing 20 goals, Arsenal have to base the team around him.
1. It always rankles, and always seems unlucky when you concede a last-minute winner, but this really, really wasn’t unlucky. United were camped on their own 18-yard line for the vast majority of the second half – with no out ball as Weghorst had also dropped in – and just invited pressure. They defended manfully, and there was no lack of effort, which in itself is an improvement on recent years, but it just wasn’t sustainable.
7. We all laughed at “trust the process” at various times, and any Arsenal fan who says they never lost faith or questioned Arteta is a liar, but everyone from Edu on down to the manager deserves enormous credit for being top of the table and league favourites right now. There is a clear vision, both in terms of recruitment and playing style, and they are not afraid to walk away from a deal when the money becomes silly and move on to a secondary target.
The Second half was disappointing for United as we conceded a world-class goal from Saka which no one is really stopping and a last-minute goal that should have been dealt with. We looked super tired after 60 minutes which is not surprising considering we had Crystal Palace on Wednesday and the only change was for Casemiro who couldn’t play.
ManUre expose the shoddy work of previous managers. How many interceptions? How many blocked shots? Well coached and committed players. Rashford is a star. Martinez showed why two clubs wanted him so much. DeGea with a phenomenal save. Klopp turned players such as Salah, Mane, VVD and TAA into World Class players, added some artisan players and moulded the team into one of the most exciting and breathtaking teams to ever play football in the U.K. Yet, at the first hint of a problem, largely as a result of significant injuries again, there are calls for Klopp out? Every top manager has down years but part of their success was that their longevity enabled them to ingrain a playing style.
Liverpool need to evolve – a non-scoring, non-assisting midfield surely has to be the first place to start.Full time whistle. WHU 2-0 EVE. Can I be the first to wish Frank Lampard all the best in his future endeavours?As many supporters will recognise – particularly my fellow Aston Villa supporters – Everton are on an irreversible doom spiral. Villa went all the way through such a spiral under Randy Lerner . If you’ve not done one, it takes a while to realise you’re in one.
