You know the ones - loads of possession, but no penetration and they win by a goal or two.
Actually having shítloads of chances and still losing 1-3 was even more galling, if anything.

The match only panned out the way it did because The Arsenal's defence gifted the ****s two ****ing goals in the first ten minutes.
We weren't 'brave' or 'unlucky' (as I have read elsewhere), we absolutely played into a Mourinho team's game plan. We didn't make it hard for them.
De Gea? The double save was class, but the rest of them were no better than Fabianski's when Swansea beat us at home.
In short, Wenger out.
Glad I'm not the only one who thought that about De Gea. The double save from Lacazette/Sanchez was astonishingly good however the rest or them were poor finishing or, in most cases, just bad luck for us.
Not convinced we played into Mourinho's game plan, though. They had to win and he knew it so they actually came to play. And other than a poor start (how many times has that happened to us in big matches over the past 5-6 years) we played them off the park. Had they soaked pressure while looking comfortable I would agree with you, but we really ripped them apart.
Apart from the start, I really enjoyed it. :-)
Reminded a bit of that bizzare game vs Charlton at Highbury.
Went 1nil up and then found ourselves 4-1 down...had 27 shots in goal that day.
Sometimes sh it happens.
I thought we went at them from the word go, another day and we win that game comfortably. We played as well, if not better, than we did against spurs. You just can't give any side a 2-0 headstart, let alone United.
De Gea was superb but our finishing was awful, as was the referee.
