It was a cracking game of football but we were horribly profligate. Arsenal played well and took their chances but, significantly, we did not. For all of our pinging approach play there is still a lack of focus in some of the players, they should be up for this kind of game but some seemed to be going through the motions. Neville and VDS are more liabilities than dependable at the moment and we are going through a defensive transition. The great positive was the performance of Rafael, he has certainly earned a starting place in the next game and looks very assured. No complaints and not the end of the world, but not really good enough either.

Apologies for no fan’s view last week. A collective doffing of caps from the United support to Hull. You are a bloody good team, please finish above City.
