Very concerning bits from the 1st half.

Holding appeared to have suffered a significant Knee(ACL) injury and was stretchered off.

Ramsey could barely walk, limping around with an ankle injury to end the half.

What the hell happened in that span of 45 seconds?

Not sure how to take this result. At times United looked the more threatening side for sure, for a spell it seemed Arsenal would get the go ahead, which they did, but then conceded immediately after.

The injuries are a big concern, and the terrible defending which persists is another. Arsenal had some chances, but a lot of the possession was from the backline and the keeper knocking it back and forth.

We looked terrible without Xhaka linking everything together.

Guendouzi didn't have a superb game, but he's a great player for games like these. He's good at those little fouls and he's good at driving past people with the ball.

Another thing, the midfield giving the ball away constantly. Arsenal looked pretty bad at times in this match.

Definitely could tell it wasn't the preferred starting XI, but thankfully the side they were up against was a mess as well.

It's hard to come back after a huge North London Derby and go to Old Trafford midweek. It's an off day. A point away to United is a good point. I'd expect some rotation this weekend. Some of the guys look tired today.

frick manure. Dirty fouls, injuring players, blows to the head, hair pulling. And don’t get me started on the lack of an offside call on their goal. We were robbed of two points today.

They said, I don’t remember the last time we really took it to man united like this. It was refreshing to see. I like what Emery is doing.

ETA the defense is still broken

Our guys were obviously still tired from the north London derby. Still a very winnable game. A lot of reserves should get PT this weekend.

This game sucked arse. Got cheated on the first. which brings me to Guendouzi. Why start him? Yeah his ceiling is high, but use fricking elneny. Haven't won a fricking game there in 12 years. He made a stupid arse foul and got bullied around in the 2nd half.

I feel top to bottom they have a better roster, but not the team they put out.

After such a high, just realize it's going to be a Battle to get top 4. And we aren't going to be battling Man U fir that spot.

He made terrible passes that killed us going forward, he made a dumb foul with players around him that resulted in their first goal. He doesn't need to start at Old Trafford.

He might not need to start, but in the second half he worked hard and played some good passes. Again, he's the only midfielder we had who could drive with the ball, and that he did.

It's clear Emery doesn't trust Elneny. Guendouzi will always start over him.

Looks like Holding is out for the rest of the season. Hope Koscielny is ready to step up. If not we have to address the CB situation in January.

Not too familiar with the loan rules but is it possible to get Chambers back in January?

Well this week we are wrongly disallowed a goal for offside. 3 weeks in a row the lineman screws us. It's getting really old really quick.

I am not sure what Emery says to officials on the touchline, but, they sure hate us.

I thought Man U was a dirty team. Huddersfield play like a pub team.

Why would you take Lacazette off at half?
