Well there's 11 games to go but I know I speak for a lot of Arsenal supporters who must feel now more than ever that their title challenge might indeed be over.
History wasn't ever on their side when it came to playing at old Tradford but let's be realistic, Arsenal have been terrible so far. If like to be pragmatic and pick out some positives but there were so many negatives in a game that was suppose to be a deadrubber tie that I can't realm think of any. There was no fight from the players, Theo Walcott still plays like a teenager and I don't mean the Rashford type, I mean the type that couldn't deal with a makeshift defence of Carrick and Blind. The squad was once again Naive, With two Manchester united defenders already booked in the early minutes of the game, little or no pressure was put on Varela or Carrick. Manchester united grabbed two goals in quick succession through Rashflrd and by that time you could tell that Arsenal where this game was headed. There was no response from the Arsenal squad devoid of creativity from Midfield, no fight that shows worthiness to be champions,no defiance, there was just a simply lethargic perdormance.. For a team trailing, there were far too many back passes or wasteful forward passes.
This fixture use to have significance in past seasons, most times a title decider but today it was a game between Academy boys and Fraudsters and Academy boys triumphed. Of the United starters today, there were makeshift defenders, a debutànt, and an underperforming squad that were gifted the game and who did they go up against? Well they were up against am Arsenal squad that looked like they all bet against Their team and wanted more to go cash in on their bets rather than win the game.
The game started and after Monreal missed his first chance as Arsenal easily picked open the United defence, optimism grew for the Arsenal hopefuls but it reduced when Rash ford put United ahead and I'm sure it dissapeared after the second goal.
The simple truth is that these players can't handle pressure and once again, Arsene Wenger is overachieving with a team of mostly mediocres and few quality. The fact is that, players like Aaron Ramsey, Walcott, Welbeck and Giroud shouldn't be undisputed starters at a team vying for premiere league success. Its a really sad day for Arsenal and quite frankly an Eye opener for everyone who expected much from Arsenal.
