Ramsey playing the Arteta role, it's a shame, he's much better further up the pitch.

Harry Redknapp on Mario Balotelli: "He kicked Scott Parker in the head. He backheeled him in the face and cut his head"

lol

I don't really like Valencia at right back, but i would've gone with Park here to help balance the midfield.

LOL at Walcott so far.

i think he's confusing the white on the touchline with the white on his teammate's shorts

United wingers ripping Arsenal D apart

1-0.

Inevitable. Walcott and Ox should be tracking back more

That's been coming. Djourou just hasn't looked comfortable this whole first half.

Finally! We've been getting whatever we want on the left wing so far.

Nani had an excellent first half down that left side, just needed a better final ball or a finish.

That goal takes some attention away from what's been a totally underwhelming half by Rooney so far. He's got acres of space to exploit and his passing has been utter crap.

Yeah. Better touches from Nani and Welbeck inside the box would have had United up by many goals. Dominant display by United

Walcott still can't dribble with his head up. Djourou getting ripped apart predictably at RB. Really struggling to hold possession without Arteta. United deservedly ahead.

united will continue spamming the mismatch they have on the left wing. Dgorou has no business being on the field against nani. Sickens me that we havent even attempted at purchasing a fullback in the last 3 weeks.

Some kid I've never seen coming on for Arsenal

MitchellUK · Post #177 » by **MitchellUK** » Sun Jan 22, 2012 5:06 pm

Replacing Djourou with a young full back. At least Yennaris is will be playing in his natural position, but you have to worry for him given the way United targeted the flanks in the first half.

MaliBrah · Post #178 » by **MaliBrah** » Sun Jan 22, 2012 5:10 pm

throwing the kid into a fire pit for a debut, dang

MitchellUK · Post #179 » by **MitchellUK** » Sun Jan 22, 2012 5:12 pm

HOW!? You would bet your life savings on RVP in that position!

Van Persie's great run ends today. He just Torres'ed that one
