Both teams have created fack all, yet we are still behind. So annoying

We're still in this ofcourse. I'd have been delighted with a draw before the game and obviously haven't changed my mind.

Even less pace in midfield and wide than normal. Need Rosicky at least. Monreal?

Id move Ramsey to the middle to make more happen. Hes not a winger and I think we have other players who could be more effective there. If Arteta is not 100% maybe give Wilshere or Gnabry half the match on the right

Bring in Wilshere for Flamini; we need forward momentum.

I would bring on Wilshere at half time too.

Would it be fair of me to say that RVP is a bit of an ungrateful kent?

Here is a player that Arsenal stuck by during a lengthy injury ravaged career at the club..

He then fecks off to United, ok that can happen, but to celebrate like he did after scoring agst Arsenal is just disrespectful to Arsenal and Arsenal fans

Very poor performance so far. Hopefully Vidic does not come back on 2nd half, Jones has kept our midfield under tabs. The only positive is United have created nothing apart from the goal.

Wilshere and Rosicky are our only players who up our tempo.

He didn't celebrate when he scored against you last season - and after Wenger's comments about him still being an Arsenal man, he's entitled to prove him wrong.

Sacrifice Flamini for Wilshere

We just don't create enough at old trafford, never have.

The way united have played this half is exactly how fergie set them up against us

Man U have done well to keep the Arsenal creative players pinned back.

While we've defended pretty well with the deeper line, we may need to push up and defend higher up the pitch to release Ozil and Cazorla in the final third and risk being caught on the break

So far so good.

RVP has shown far more evidence of beign an ungrateful than just celebrating this goal

I respect RVP's decision to celebrate today. He had to respond to Wenger's comments, and also to the fans' banner. Fair play.

We have been horrendous, can't string 1 pass together very slow tempo as well

lets try to keep it at 1-0

I think both teams have been well below par. United did well on a corner, there's the difference. Hopefully second half we up the tempo.

I blame Wenger. Should have sent the players out fired up. We were too fecking respectful

Keep it tight for 20 mins then bring on Jack and Gnabry.

I'd also take of Flamini for Wilshere. Keeping him on with a yellow will be dangerous and he's also looked very off the pace with his passing (although our whole team has).

We need Wilshere's directness, somebody to run with the ball like Rooney has been doing for United. He's been the difference so far.

We'll have to see how Arsenal come out in the second half, there is still a hell of a long time to go in this game.

Captain, try not to wum until the game finishes. Comments like that have a habbit of biting United in the ass.
