Arsenal using the fifa 14 kick off glitch I see

Pigeon_Asshole · 2015-10-04T15:05:31+00:00

What an awful fucking start

bajonkajonks · 2015-10-04T15:07:54+00:00

I guess the 4-1 joke is can wait for the next game

2015-10-04T15:06:57+00:00

Jesus fucking christ, what an embarrassing start

sawcygardnerboi · 2015-10-04T15:12:11+00:00

If this doesn't get Rooney absolutely fired up and going I don't know what will.

omegaxLoL · 2015-10-04T15:20:13+00:00

What the fuck is our defense doing? Young completely fucks up initially, Darmian screws up against Alexis, this is fucking horrendous.

detinu · 2015-10-04T15:07:42+00:00

Well we're fucked. All the cocky people around here thought it would be an easy win. Uphill battle and I doubt we'll get a draw

AMak10 · 2015-10-04T15:12:46+00:00

Schneiderlin not starting is criminal.

ManUnited7 · 2015-10-04T15:21:58+00:00

I miss Shaw :(

mocthezuma · 2015-10-04T15:34:51+00:00

I hope LVG learns from this, but I fear he won't. Starting our two slowest players in midfield against some of the quickest and best passers of the ball in the league. Darmian and Young both on yellow as well and Memphis has been useless. We can't create anything. I wouldn't mind the scoreline if we were actually attacking and creating, but Arsenal are much closer to increasing their lead than we are to reducing it. This can get very ugly.

Low-Born-Scum · 2015-10-04T14:32:45+00:00

Spaghetti carbonara recipe:

Ingredients

1 pound dry spaghetti, 4 large eggs, 8 oz. guanciale, pancetta or slab bacon, diced, 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano, 1/2 cup freshly grated Pecorino Romano, Freshly cracked black pepper, Sea salt.

Instructions

Prepare the pasta according to directions, using the minimum time recommended for al dente (the pasta will cook a little more at the finish of the recipe). Drain and set aside, but keep a cup or so of the pasta cooking water for use later in the recipe.

While the pasta is cooking, heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ham/bacon and sauté until the meat is crispy and golden and has rendered its fat. Turn off the heat.

Whisk the eggs and the cheeses in a glass or plastic bowl until well-combined.

Return the frying pan with the rendered meat to medium heat, and add a quarter cup of the reserved pasta water to the pan. Toss in the spaghetti and agitate the pan over the heat for a few seconds until the bubbling subsides.

Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the egg/cheese mixture. Continue stirring quickly until the eggs thicken. If the sauce seems too thick, thin it out with the remaining pasta water, a little at a time.

Give the dish a few turns of black pepper and taste the sauce. Add a bit of salt if necessary (it most likely won't be). Serve immediately.

Confident Martial wil score. I'll wear my wife's panties and eat a sock if he doesn't. That confident.

Arsenal 2 up inside of 8 minutes well fuck me silly

_SonicDeathMonkey · 2015-10-04T15:03:39+00:00

Why do we always play shit at the start of matches?

theangrycamel · 2015-10-04T15:13:53+00:00

Rooney is still asleep. Cazorla keeps coming deep to collect the ball and Rooney just lets him do it

Martial really is an incredible player.

PavanJ · 2015-10-04T15:11:55+00:00

Where's the guy who said we need Rooney's fight? Fight does fuck all when you can't trap a ball

Baja_Hunter · 2015-10-04T16:37:05+00:00

Martial is our best player. I'm really happy and proud for him, but that's just embarassing. He just made a phenomenal play and no one was there to support him and try to do something

Archzzr · 2015-10-04T15:46:34+00:00

Although the team's poor performance, martial is still exuding confidence and brilliance.

epicfishboy · 2015-10-04T15:49:49+00:00

Remember how excited we were when we signed Schneiderlin? We had an absolute world-class mid field of Schneiderlin, Memphis, Young(?) and Carrick/Herrera.

And now look at what we've got, Herrera and Schneiderlin being absolutely wasted, Carrick with no other option but to pass back to De Gea, and Memphis stealing a living.

huey88 · 2015-10-04T15:12:48+00:00

Watching Rooney decline is so depressing..he can't even hold the ball..Cmon Rooney if there is any game to get the groove back this is it!

2015-10-04T15:10:01+00:00

It's like Wenger adjusted the skill sliders in the option menu.

Changed their pace to 65 Changed our pace to 40.

UnitedRoad18 · 2015-10-04T15:22:31+00:00

Massive mistake by LVG not to play Schneiderlin. You always need a midfield destroyer at Arsenal. Always.

rossco9 · 2015-10-04T16:30:57+00:00

When a 19 year-old inexperienced striker who everyone thinks you vastly overpaid for is your best player...

4niner · 2015-10-04T16:32:37+00:00

Martial has showed character today. Not the greatest game for him but he hasn't given up. He's the only one who is still making good runs.

HOWTOTURNOFFCAPS · 2015-10-04T16:33:14+00:00

Martial is really fucking good. Too bad the rest are playing like it's a sunday league game while slightly hung over.

rossco9 · 2015-10-04T16:37:49+00:00

Everton, away to CSKA, and City after the break..lots of work to be done

2015-10-04T15:23:59+00:00

All the common sense stuff we've been saying has come home to roost today.

Schweinsteiger and Carrick can't play together in a 2 man midfield.

Blind is not a centre back.

Young is not a full back.

2015-10-04T15:48:20+00:00

Hopefully LVG learned that you can't play two 31+ year old CMs in the PL.

potato_war_lord · 2015-10-04T15:59:41+00:00

Fucking unbelievable. 4AM for this shit?! I hope van Gaal completely tears them a new one at halftime. All Arsenal have done is sit deep and hit us hard on the counter with pace and credit to them, every time the ball crosses into our half I'm clenching because they look like they'll score with every attack. Bloody hell like I understand that you want to slow down the game after getting royally fucked by Ozil and Sanchez but when you're on the attack can we have something more inspiring than sitting there, passing sideways only to lose the ball. Give us something, I don't care about the bloody result anymore, 8-0 9-0 I honestly don't give a shit anymore but show some passion. Show us what it means to wear that crest on top of you heart. the only person who looks like he know what it means to be a Manchester United player atm is Martial and he's freaking 19 and fresh off the boat.

Anyway, this is salvageable. If Arsenal can score 3 in a half, then so can we. The players need to stop panicking and quit with the long balls and forget about losing possession. Make something happen, run at defenders. They have freaking Mertesacker holding their defense together for goodness sake. Fortune favours the brave, it wouldn't be consistent with our philosophy to lie down and start damage control. Take risks and show some resolve.

Fuck's sake

EastOfEden_ · 2015-10-04T16:04:08+00:00

Mata and Rooney on the wings, talk about pace and penetration.

rossco9 · 2015-10-04T16:17:09+00:00

Put Wilson on, fuck it

2015-10-04T16:31:31+00:00

LVG's halftime message: "Whatever we do, we shall not concede a fourth"

rdzzl · 2015-10-04T15:03:17+00:00

Think we are doing a mistake in not starting Schneiderlin

LevynX · 2015-10-04T15:10:09+00:00

Alright I miss Shaw now

TracerBullet11 · 2015-10-04T15:12:39+00:00

Dunno why Schneiderlin would be benched for a game like this. A team of fast fuckers vs midfielders/defenders who are on the slower end doesn't sound like a great day.

wdtpw · 2015-10-04T15:29:25+00:00

Is it just me, or does Martial look better than everyone else in the team at the moment?

kiac · 2015-10-04T15:36:10+00:00

Shaw's broken leg has taken so much out of this team. Look miserable without him.

2015-10-04T16:07:14+00:00

Martial has made me proud today.

j0ydivisi0n · 2015-10-04T16:10:19+00:00

Fellaini is playing holding mid what is the point? Has Morgan done something to annoy LVG?

detinu · 2015-10-04T16:10:33+00:00

We're playing like amateurs. I get it these type of games will happen every now and then, but some players need to be dropped. Memphis and Rooney should not be starting our next game.

If Schneiderlin doesn't have an injury you really have to question LVG's thinking here.

2015-10-04T15:22:00+00:00

We all said it at the start of the season and it's never been more clear.

You can't pick Carrick and Schweinsteiger together against decent sides.

TheSchminx · 2015-10-04T15:21:11+00:00

Bastian is the only one running!!! FFS.

j0ydivisi0n · 2015-10-04T15:49:51+00:00

That Martial goal could have changed the game but my god Rooney and Depay have been awful. I don't understand this high line against Arsenal away especially with players like Blind and Mata who aren't bless with pace and Schweini/Carrick. Arsenal goals resulted from being too high up the pitch.

katadn · 2015-10-04T15:50:18+00:00

TheWrathofKrieger · 2015-10-04T16:25:28+00:00

Things we have learned, Schneiderlin might not be our best player but we need him to play every minute of every game.

rossco9 · 2015-10-04T16:27:38+00:00

Well won back by Martial and it comes to fuck all

macAaronE · 2015-10-04T16:37:56+00:00

Schweinsteiger running his heart out means a lot.

2015-10-04T15:21:28+00:00

We're about to get our very own 8-2 from Arsenal.

Although they may not allow us the 2

TheDrySkinOnYourKnee · 2015-10-04T15:37:33+00:00

Rooney is finished as a footballer. What the actual fuck is he doing out there?

HairyArthur · 2015-10-04T14:55:13+00:00

3-0 up, last minute, De Gea comes up for the corner, because why not, scores, celebrates like Cantona. Calling it now.

2015-10-04T15:05:44+00:00

rossco9 · 2015-10-04T15:28:13+00:00

Everyone telling people to calm down because there's 65 minutes left...yeah, great, we still conceded 3 goals in the first fucking 20 minutes and look abysmal.

2015-10-04T15:38:24+00:00

I'VE HAD IT WITH ROONEY. FUCK

2015-10-04T15:38:50+00:00

Rooney needs to fuck off with this lack of confidence shit. He'd have twatted that in anger two years ago just to hurt the center back, and now he's just lost that edge.

Xavii7 · 2015-10-04T15:39:10+00:00

Van Gaal needs to have the balls to drop Rooney. He simply isn't up for it.

psxv · 2015-10-04T15:46:11+00:00

Even thought Martial didn't score, that was amazing touch and technique on the shot.

tommym109 · 2015-10-04T15:49:29+00:00

We could have played the first 30mins with no midfielders and it honestly wouldn't made much of a difference. Bastian and carrick are great players, but starting them together against a team like arsenal just isn't going to work. When I said I wanted young to start, I meant over depay. Not slating young for today but would rather him playing in depay's position. This seems to be a more popular opinion every week. I honestly don't know where to start with rooney. I'm sick of him being immune to being benched or subbed even

acebace · 2015-10-04T16:06:44+00:00

We have 1 actual defender in the defence now

2015-10-04T16:19:08+00:00

Martial with a half competent number 10/strike partner is going to be a monster for us in the future.

CaptainDickfingers · 2015-10-04T16:20:11+00:00

Ashley Young why do that you bird brain.

Archzzr · 2015-10-04T16:23:25+00:00

Why can't we have this kind of aggression right from the start of the match.... why do we wait till we're lagging behind before we fire up.

Nestledrink · 2015-10-04T16:31:29+00:00

This Martial kid is pretty good.

PenPaperShotgun · 2015-10-04T16:53:22+00:00

I think what disappoints me more then anything isn't the result its the lack of composure and fight. There was a thread talking about Rooney and his fight and leadership but we have seen examples time and time again at how overrated and meanglinless those words are.

Speed and work rate and quality far outweigh leadership and "fight. The thing with attacking is it has to be fast, without pace it is predictable and defend-able.

Chelsea's whole midfield and whole attack slowed down with Lampard and Drogba, all that experience and they were a worse team with them. They sell them, lose ALL that experience and yet go on to win titles.

The same way a 19 year old with no experience is making us looking better through sheer quality. The same way Rooney did when he was 19.You need attacking pace, quality. A box to box bastian, with Rooney as #10 is not that.

But lets forget that, take it down to bare bones. For all his experience, game time, times going down early, Rooney said NOTHING. He didn't calm the team after conceeding early and say "Listen we have 90 minutes to score, keep calm".

We went on an instantly conceding, not only is he playing poorly but he let our whole team collapse. Barcelona lose Puyol and continue to win trebles.

Experience and fight is great when mixed with quality. Unfortunately Rooney does not have that quality. Not only that but we lack quality off the bench.

Tactically we were poor, I'm not going to talk about that, but the point is for all this experience, we had a meltdown. Quality, drive, pace wins you titles, not experience. Otherwise we would be playing a team of 80 years olds with lots of experience.

2015-10-04T16:22:02+00:00

We've got our tactics totally wrong today. But most of all this game just has the look of one team who have grown a little complacent and another who've suffered some awful results and truly have a point to prove.

The workfare from some of arsenals players has been immense. Wenger has definitely issued some ultimatums.

2015-10-04T16:34:13+00:00

I hate to be the voice of reason, but every team has off days, perhaps this will be the game where LvG learns he can't play a Carrick/Schweinsteiger double-pivot. Pep had the same issue last season with Schweini and Alonso.

miginus · 2015-10-04T15:08:39+00:00

_HlTLER_ · 2015-10-04T16:47:45+00:00

Valencia has got that one move down. Receive the ball, straddle it while shaking his hips for 3 seconds, and pass it back to midfield.

TheDrySkinOnYourKnee · 2015-10-04T15:20:27+00:00

Don't worry lads, Fellaini will come on in the 70th minute and save us.

epicfishboy · 2015-10-04T15:34:34+00:00

United are far too slow with the ball, this idea of passing the ball a thousand times and hoping the defense will open up is borderline retarded.

Wengers quick-passing, tiki-taka style of football is literally tearing us apart and it's an absolute embarrassment.

theangrycamel · 2015-10-04T15:34:42+00:00

They want their 4th more than we seem to want to just get one

2015-10-04T15:37:20+00:00

Rooney just got in Memphis' way there. Man just can't pick a run these days. You see a player coming towards you, YOU GO THE OTHER WAY to create space and options, not run 2 feet parallel to him.

dudefise · 2015-10-04T15:38:32+00:00

I don't even care if martial is offside, shows he's at Least trying. Better than the rest of the team right now

2015-10-04T15:41:27+00:00

You can tell we've completely lost confidence now. We're just offering nothing at all.

2015-10-04T15:48:35+00:00

I really hope LvG lays into the team at half time. They need to wake the fuck up and start playing. A 3-0 deficit is not insurmountable and Arsenal's defence is always generous.

Nestledrink · 2015-10-04T15:49:18+00:00

Poor first half. Martial still looks confident and strong. Rooney is trash (this is the first time I'm really upset about him). Alexis is having a field day against Darmian and Young kept being out of position.

Put Fellaini on for Rooney. Move Darmian out right and put Valencia in to hustle against Alexis.

Starting Carrick together with Schweinsteiger was a big mistake. Our midfield lacked energy. Schneiderlin should have started all day long.

Elbonio · 2015-10-04T16:24:08+00:00

So who is going to start the post-match suicide thread?

2015-10-04T16:46:34+00:00

seriously who thinks of starting Bastian and Carrick against an attacking team like Arsenal

rdzzl · 2015-10-04T15:21:25+00:00

Time to admit you were wrong and put on Schneiderlin, mr. Van Gaal?

NextTopNerd · 2015-10-04T16:38:39+00:00

Aah I hate it when I'm right. I said before the game that I had a bad feeling about this game because lvgs united play with a high line and that would be absolutely criminal against arsenal with their pace. If we had set up to absorb pressure and counterattack later on we would have definitely won or drew this game.

Besides lvgs tactics, I am also surprised he chose to play with carrick and schweibsteiger when you have schniederlin on the bench. Honestly you can't have two 30 year old midfielders playing against a pacey Arsenal. I definitely feel lvgs tactics were shite this game.

ryulaaa · 2015-10-04T16:33:35+00:00

sit down ramsey bastian would fuck you up

subsequent · 2015-10-04T15:39:00+00:00

Can we drop Rooney for Herrera already?

He's made some poor decisions today.

2015-10-04T16:29:14+00:00

The annoying thing is, Arsenal would've cracked if we'd got one.

sooshi · 2015-10-04T15:03:09+00:00

Not a fan of this early pressure

marcodj · 2015-10-04T15:03:26+00:00

Nervy start

omegaxLoL · 2015-10-04T15:08:54+00:00

What the fuck is this? Two holding midfielders and no one tracks Özil's run, that is shocking

ratherinquisitive · 2015-10-04T15:09:14+00:00

As usual, we have no answer when the opposition just goes for the jugular. It'll be interesting to see if we have a gameplan for a situation like this.

2015-10-04T15:11:11+00:00

Rooney receives the ball on the edge of the box, and turns backwards to pass backwards as fucking usual

2015-10-04T15:19:51+00:00

Game over. Damage control please.

fyodorkafka · 2015-10-04T15:20:19+00:00

Fuck this game and fuck Alexis Sanchez

captaincanada84 · 2015-10-04T15:20:28+00:00

Game over

Thrilljoy · 2015-10-04T15:22:38+00:00

Now I just hope we don't get 8-2'd instead.

H-E-I-S-E-N-B-E-R-G · 2015-10-04T15:28:28+00:00

Oh this place will be a nightmare for the next 2 weeks

TheJoshider10 · 2015-10-04T15:29:17+00:00

At this point I'd be content with conceding no more and Martial getting a goal.

This is the first real game that shows us how much an impact losing Shaw has on the team.

2015-10-04T15:37:23+00:00

Cmon Memphis, you cant run through 2 players. This isnt FIFA

FURyannnn · 2015-10-04T15:44:55+00:00

Memphis is so wasteful

21unitedArends · 2015-10-04T15:46:02+00:00

This the Rooney we need in the 2nd half!

colucci · 2015-10-04T15:48:52+00:00

Streamer started playing hello darkness my old friend. So appropriate.

j0ydivisi0n · 2015-10-04T15:54:32+00:00

If this is the kick up the arse LVG needed so be it.

-OptimusPrimate- · 2015-10-04T15:54:59+00:00

I refuse to go on /r/soccer today. It's just going to be humiliating

Treayye · 2015-10-04T15:55:47+00:00

What a pathetic half of football that was, most disappointing this for me has to be the fact the players are showing no reaction at all to either goal, those first 2 goals being conceded early on were pathetic.

Also slightly confused with the lineup for today, Schneiderlin is perfect for games like today away from home, Schweinsteiger and Carrick away from home against a quick team like Arsenal seems like a terrible idea and that first half just proved that point.

Only player that I'm not annoyed with really is Martial, at least he is trying to create things, thought he should have done well with his chance, but when you take a look at the replay, it was more of a great save by Cech.

We have to show a response in the 2nd half, I accept we're most likely going to lose this game, but if we lose without even trying to make a comeback then that will piss me off the most.

I'm a Rooney fan and love what he has contributed to the club but it has been obvious for a while he is done as a player, I think playing so much football since an early age is taking his toll and he will end up retiring sooner than expected.

He needs to be sold this summer, but I can't see him wanting to leave anytime soon on the crazy money he isn't going to get anywhere else.

Feel sorry for Darmian, he isn't having a good game, but Alexis has the ability to even make the best players look like shite, and he sure is doing that today.

I really hope United fans don't forget about all of the good performances he has had in a United shirt, simply because he had 1 terrible game against Arsenal.

AMak10 · 2015-10-04T16:00:55+00:00

It's better to have this happen early in the season and not near the end.

But is also better for this not to happen ever.

rossco9 · 2015-10-04T16:00:57+00:00

Playing Carrick-Schweinsteiger in this match was a terrible decision

2015-10-04T16:08:12+00:00

Hopefully whatever horse steroids the Arsenal players were on in the first half will also be wearing off.

first_aid · 2015-10-04T16:09:15+00:00

sub in schneiderlin for carrick!!

noob_senpai · 2015-10-04T16:13:07+00:00

Anyone else feels like we won't finish the game with 11 players on the field?

IVIanUnited · 2015-10-04T16:14:45+00:00

WHY IS THE PASSINGSO FUCKING SLOW MY FUCKING SAKES

SantagetoutClause · 2015-10-04T16:15:03+00:00

I just want us to get one goal. Just one. Please.

CraftySpastic · 2015-10-04T16:18:22+00:00

Fuck you Arsenal, we're winning in possession.

PenPaperShotgun · 2015-10-04T16:21:20+00:00

box to box is the hardest role in the game. Bastian is way to old to do it, even Yaya recently said he is so happy to have fernando and dinho covering to help him.

Sending bastian alone as a box to box is mental

2015-10-04T16:21:54+00:00

Geez do we want a red or what

rossco9 · 2015-10-04T16:23:39+00:00

What the hell was the point of bringing in Fellaini on if he's playing alongside Carrick

ryulaaa · 2015-10-04T16:31:26+00:00

look at the speed of this build up its not like we're 3-0 down or anything

catfayce · 2015-10-04T16:32:44+00:00

Martial is the real deal, just oozes talent!

2015-10-04T16:43:04+00:00

looking forward to the top comments on Man Utd's main fb page after this being from those illiterate plastics saying "LVG OUT, ROONEY SHIT, WE NO PLAY WELL"

shihvvb · 2015-10-04T16:44:34+00:00

Drop Memphis for Young for the next two games

2015-10-04T16:47:25+00:00

Wilson's pace adding a bit more bite and danger for us. I'd like to see us start a game with Memphis - Martial - Wilson up top. Either Mata or Rooney or Perreira behind at #10.

And fucking start Schneiderlin.

2015-10-04T16:47:45+00:00

Would like to see Wilson and Martial start one together, just to see what Martial looks like with someone with a bit of pace to support him.

threedowg · 2015-10-04T15:28:05+00:00

I've been 5-0 down at half time on Fifa and still managed to win 8-5 so there's still a chance...

detinu · 2015-10-04T16:22:11+00:00

Someone is defo getting a red. At least we're fucking fighting
