Arsenal's defending is so bad that even United can score.

Too early to be too worried but Pepe doesn’t look great at all does he?

Got up early to watch the match and 45 minutes of this trash is more than enough for me. Right back to sleep I go.

Nice goal from McTominay but both these teams are 100% bullshit. What kind of retard lineup is that from Arsenal. And Pepe is a complete retard. Dude has some great dribbling but can’t shoot or cross for shit - like a more extreme Politano. He’s literally sent 3 or 4 crosses directly out of bounds. €90m player btw. Feels like I’m watching Serie B. Neither of these shitters will finish top 4. I hope they both lose.

Serie B is good quality, stop mentioning it in vain.

Massive bright spot for Arsenal though is Saka. I wish he’d be a bit more arrogant and confident in himself and take the shot on a bit more though, but he looks good here.

I don't know about anything else but the pitch is looking amazing, as usual. Grass really IS greener over in the EPL - will we ever see those pleasing squares in Serie A, ever?

Very unimpressed by Pepe so far. I’ve been keeping an eye on him cause I felt like he was really exciting player to watch but so far I see a one trick pony with no end product. How long are arsenal fans going to be okay with him trying to curl left footers into the bottom corner and having them go just wide of into row Z?

Like Universe said so far he has looking more Politano than world beater.

I didn't watch the match, but the starting eleven of these squads today were horrendous.

And I'm here for it. Lets see some of the teams playing quality football like Leicester have some (more) European glory. Arsenal and Man Utd have been wastes of time in the Champions League for a while now. Not sad to see either of them drowning in seas of incompetence.

That's because of the tv, man.

Arsenal's set pieces were a fucking disgrace. Not even exaggerating, they made our set pieces look like works of art. They were so bad that even as a complete neutral watching the game, it was infuriating.

- At one point in the first half, Arsenal got a free kick in a decent position, left side of the pitch maybe 35m away from goal. Good angle and a good chance to cross into the box. All of a sudden, fucken Pepe of all people walks up to take the free kick and I'm like wtf is this cunt doing. Completely over-hits the cross like a spastic and sends the ball straight out of bounds.

- Arsenal get another free kick, this time right in the middle of the park, about 30m out from goal. David Luiz lines up and I'm thinking he's going for one of his trademark long-distance free kicks, cool. At the last second, fucking Xhaka steps up (100% garbage player btw) and tries some bullshit sneaky hooked cross to the right wing and sends the ball directly out.

- Towards the end of the match, Arsenal got a few corners, and EVERY SINGLE TIME time they send the ball in low, looking for a near post flick on. Every single time, the ball is easily defended.

- Absolute last action of the game, that Willock retard gets a free kick in a GREAT area, close to the corner flag with just 20 seconds remaining. Sokratis, Luiz, all the Arsenal defenders come up to attack, there are 7 Arsenal players in the box. Ceballos steps over the free kick and I'm thinking at least Ceballos is a technically strong player. What does he do? He takes some bullshit, weak as fuck, waist-height free kick that doesn't even reach the 6 yard box area. It's easily cleared by the first man and the ref blows for full time, ensuring that an absolute trash game ends with a moment of absolute trash.

Years of mismanagement is finally showing in it's worst form, same for both teams.

Only saw the first half. Terrible.

Who was that Luiz lookalike in midfield for Arsenal ? He played like a headless chook.

Also, lol Rashford.

If he's one of their better players, then they are sadder than I thought.

Guendouzi is not bad player. He got much better in the second half. He is also only 20.

Bu my God Pepe... The fucker is worse than Politano when it comes to end product. How the fuck did he score so much in france? Aside from that, he seem to have a brain of a pigeon. Offside awareness is zero, he doesnt know when to shoot or when to pass, and his defensive contribution is way too low for a winger. He often stands higher than Auba and Lacazette.
And he is 80 mils. And he is almost 24, so not that young either.
