That is the worst of it. Instead of being like wolves after sheep knowing we can have fresh meat we are tentative.


Emery is too conservative. He has regressed so much.

Really piss poor first half. Pépé particularly awful. No creativity. Midfield is poor only Guendouzi showing any impetus.

Put Ceballos and Willock on, inject some energy.


I would take this guy for less money right now

I hope its not going to be one of those matches where we play decently enough but end up losing..

Man Utd look ordinary as hell.

It totally depresses me that Xhaka is so certain to start every game. I don't care what Emery sees or wants from the structure of his team, just watch the games. He adds nothing to our structure or attacking game because we are nowhere near threatening enough and he is a toal liability at protecting the back 4. Lee Dixon did a piece on a programme called The Boot Room where he absolutely takes apart the midfield structure of Arsenal - it was woeful.

Willock has to be starting.

As from our next league game Tierney, bellerin, Holding need to start every game. We've had nothing from our full-backs in over a year

So you have Torreira moving around the box rather than Özil or willock

Just stupid mentalism

Good VAR decision, but how did the lino flag it in the first place? He was miles onside.

Linesman too anxious to catch an offside.

Shocking decision to flag him offside. Also linesmen are told to keep it down if they’re not sure. He was at least 2 yards onside. A classic old Trafford decision that has gone against us and many other teams for years. Var rightly serves justice

All strikers take note - don’t stop if you think you’re offside; stick it in the net and cross your fingers.

VAR would have shown Rooney's dive to end our run of games

What's was he moaning about? Was the whistle blown for offside before the ball crossed the line? The comms said something but I missed it all.

He’s claimed the whistle had been blown so VAR shouldn’t have been used.

I think.

Get Pépé off.

He’s been a passenger all game.

He needs to get his *%^@ sorted - that ball was unacceptable.

Sorry Brom.

Pépé is struggling. Perhaps the weight of the price-tag.

Maybe, but if he’s going to be world class, he needs to get his head sorted pretty quick.

If he doesn’t, he isn’t going to set the footballing world alight.

Xhaka with his standard yellow. I think he’s only 1 away from a ban now

No apology necessary - he had a bit of a stinker.

Not on my tv, but if your tv is still playing Fergie time, you never know.

Obviously happy with a point, but both these teams are a massive distance from Liverpool and City in terms of quality.

Lots of effort from the boys; Guendouzi fantastic again, and Aubameyang our savior yet again. Couple of good saves from Leno too.

Very impressed with Saka; good ball control and you get the impression there’s some bite in him too.

We played better when Ceballos came on.

A point gained or two lost? As things stand, I’m happy with 1.

Well, I'd have taken a point before kick-off.

Two very mediocre sides. What is clear is that both sides have too many players who are simply not good enough at the very highest level.

Why Xhaka did not come off instead of Torreira I don't know.

Willock must be close to a starting spot. His energy at both ends of the pitch is a feature.

Saka did well, Guendouzi covered every blade of grass.

Pépé really poor. I said give the lad time but I am just beginning to worry a little bit. He looks lightweight.

Can't wait to get Bellerin and Tierney in the side.

Unbelievable how poor both sides were tonight given past glories. Thought we stepped off the game again at 1-1 when they were rocking badly. Good performance by Guendouzi, Saka and finish from Aubameyang but the rest wasnt great. So poor on set piece delivery all night. Ah well, signed for a point around 80 minutes glad not to have to listen to any gloating tomorrow.
