Have a feeling we will explode when we learn to play wuth Gyokeres and Zubimendi. Raya man of the match I think.

Well we have some serious work to do but they are obvious much better this year. Nothing that's not fixable but we ground it out which is all that's matters. Ugly win that still counts as 3 points

Our depth was on full display today. First time in forever I feel like that we can make 4 or 5 subs and the quality off the bench be just as good.

It really helps when our defenders love to get yellows and we can sub on quality defenders to replace them. Big time performance today.

6 wins in last 8 games against Man Utd. 22 game unbeaten run against the Big six. Arteta you king.

It was nice to win ugly, that felt like a game we draw or lose last year.

Attacking never really got settled, lots of poor passes and decisions all over the pitch.

Couldn’t control the ball at all, hopefully that’s just because it’s the 2 game that all of them have played together in 3 months.

United clearly a better team than they have been

Yeah now I will root for those stupid Red idiots to take points off of all of our rivals at Old Trafford all season. Get the boys right Amorim!

I may be insane but that may have actually been Saka's worst game in an Arsenal shirt and yet he still almost scored.

I wish Odegaard was as decisive on a counter as Saka is. Odegaard has got to start releasing the ball earlier

Not the match I expected but it still adds up to three.

Love the third kits.

I’m so happy we finally have a deep bench and a great defense. Midfield is trash. But we draw this match last season.

Arsenal currently at 76.8% pass completion, their lowest in a Premier League game since the 2-2 draw at Manchester City last September. It'd be fair to say there were more mitigating circumstances for them giving the ball away then.


It definitely seemed like it also

I expect this performance to be an anomaly. Have a few good practices, continue getting everyone fit and gelled, then go stick it to Leeds

We were poor today. The goalkeepers made the difference.

Our defense is solid. Gabriel maybe a little rusty. But when Odegaard is defending so much something isn’t right. Looking at Rice. Not sure if got injured during the game. He didn’t look right.

But we rarely win away there so you take the result.

I think Mbeumo, Cunha, and Sesko are going to do some damage this year for United. Their problem is going to be their aging midfield and defense

Mbuemo tried to score like he did against us with Brentford.

Cut in but instead of curling far post hit it near post to catch the goalkeeper.

They will definitely be better this season. That’s a huge 3 points and it would always be seen that way if United weren't so poor last season.

Watching some clips - biggest deal for us is figuring out these transitions.

Hardly any of them resulted in a shot, and for the most part they all ended up giving United a transition the other way.

Need to find some balance there, and also our players need to not be so shite when we get those opportunities

I will commend them for trying to play differently, just need to not have shite crosses every other opportunity we get

If we look like shite against Leeds at home that will be a diff story.

When we win the league no one will care we did a smash and grab at Old Trafford.


All the pressure was on us. City and Liverpool won their games. We were already 3 points behind. A win was the only option. And we got it.
