    Apparently he's predicted a few weeks ago that, while we would still ultimately prevail, Manchester City would overtake us once or twice along the way. Which I thought was awfully kind of him.
    "Plenty of strikers can score goals," he said, gesturing to the famous old stands casting shadows around us.

    "But a lot have found it difficult wearing the number 9 shirt for The Arsenal."

    Neville also said he thought MLS would be a better bet to replace Hincapi? than bringing on White and moving Timber across. I was thinking at that moment that MLS would be a better bet to bring into left midfield than Eze. Sadly I don't think he could have been any less ineffective as it turned out.

    Too many changes and too early. I would have gone with Gyokeres and Martinelli first and given it ten minutes.

    I know the midfield wasn't really firing but I had no real belief that Eze would make a difference.

    All that said, I don't thino any of this would necessarily have worked. Our heads were totally scrambled. I couldn't see a way out. Nor could Arteta.

    The 4 subs wouldn't have helped. It just looked like a panicked reaction. We still very nearly got ourselves out of the hole we'd dug. 9/10 Cunha doesn't hit it that well.

    One of those days. They hit two absolute screamers. But.... we dug our own grave.

    Not overly worried about losing one game but the manner of the collapse is incredibly worrying. I am afraid I just dont believe that will be a one off. It's going to happen again.

    Are we going to see the same mental collapse if we make it to a cup final?

    Maybe it's just what we needed and at the right time. United were superb too - let's not forget that.

    We can't attribute it to United being superb. Our last 3 results Loss, draw, draw and 2 of these are home games. We are in a rut of being completely toothless. I always worried this will happen as we are too reliant on on set pieces (regardless of supposedly being 2nd for open play goals). I don't think I've truly, consistently enjoyed the football we play. It's so slow and tiresome. There's no sexy eye of the needle football and our wingers are overrated as f**k bar Martinelli who actually has potential to be world class, not Saka who everyone blows for some reason. You lot must have forgotten Sanchez now that's what a world class winger looked like.

    Apart from anything else, United were not superb. They scored two outrageous goals and that aside they created nothing other than the things we gifted them.

    We've been playing tightrope football all season and surviving on fine margins 90% of the time. And yes, more often than not the football is frustrating, dull and predictable.

    In the last three games the pressure has got to us. In the first two we looked toothless. Yesterday we were just complete chaos from the minute we took the lead.

    We've had problems all season but yesterday was really just about mental disintegration. We choked.

    That ORC like defender will probably never score another goal like that in his life. I was reminded of that useless Dm that scored from 3O yards against us in the 4-4 at Newcastle. Only goal the useless c*nt probably ever scored

    And if we're honest, leading the league by 4 points with Trossard Gyokeres and Saka as our best front 3 is an achievement.

    Trossard is more useful than good, Gyokeres is still settling and Saka has been poor, certainly relative to his reputation and salary.

    Maybe that's just who we are this season. Great at the back, capable of controlling a game from midfield but not all that up front.



    And despite the ****ing over Zubi on here and in the press, he just makes far too many basic errors for me. Again, might just need to settle
