[Match Thread] Arsenal v Manchester United

Well, lads, it isn't 350K subscribers. But it is our little place on lemmy.

I would like to see Balogun and Smith-Rowe get a run out.

Just got home from a night out with my brother in law (life long utd fan) - and we didn't check or mention this game once.

I know we will both dissect the highlights tomorrow, but honestly.... no one should care about the result, we'll smash them home/away this year.

Bit of a stinker from Gabriel 😬 good finish from Sancho have to admit

should have been saved but fair play

Proud of Martinelli getting the ball back after he gave it away

Havertz come on! FINISH THAT!

Timber is really impressing me. Ben White might lose his starting role.

RIce or Havertz should have closed out quicker. But Ramsdale should save that every single time.

Tierney is so solid. I'm so glad he is staying.

We're being a bit too friendly.

Rather we get the shakey moments out now with our new signings than against Nottingham in August.

Emile looked good today.

Eddie... Should've scored that one.

Thank you Emile, for giving me some hope. That's how you attack a header. Great build up as well afterwards.

Gabriel, my man. what is you doing

Tierney for Tomi as the only substitute. Arteta with a baptism by fire for our new signings.

Awesome work rate from Tomi

Let's not open twitter tomorrow lads

Commentators were talking about when United will challenge for trophies just shows what everyone thinks of the Carabao Cup.

I remain unconvinced about Havertz. If I'm the manager, Trossard and ESR start in that role before him.

They can't build up an attack and therefore they play hoofball. We can't create chances because shot/cross blocked.

Ok that was dumb...

Glad we're doing penalties after this. Ramsdale needs the experience.

Bloody hell it's so proUnited in the stadium

Come on Arsenal!

This second half played out more of what you would expect from a preseason match.

Fabio Vieira moment

I must say though, even Yanited fans here look inbred lmao

This ref is letting too much go.

At least now if we're in this situation this season, we have some good depth on the bench

This pitch looks like a green jumper my nan once knitted me.

Everyone playing Wrexham in preseason but us. Lol

At least our away kit is easy to see when its shady.

They are winning most of the 50/50s at the moment

Havertz is shaky in defense. It's not looking good so far.

Good test of mentality in pre-season

They're gonna wear the away jerseys at every pre-season match, huh? Gotta market them as much as possible. Terrible look, especially near Utd's red kit.

Eesh, that was worrying. Good thing Antony is reliably crap.
