About respect also important thing is that UTD is very dangerous when you attack them. Look how many times they beat City, PSG... Look what happened to Leipzig. Palace beat them on counters, for Spurs everything changed after red card, and Arsenal also had similar approach but unlike us they got penalty. As Frank said he was hoping for individual brilliance in the final third from Puli, Werner, Kai... If we had that we would won. And look what happened to us last season there...

Look at the average position of us and Arsenal. Arsenal tried to attack more than we did and still looked comfortable defensively. 

No one is saying we should have gone gung-ho against United but we should have been a bit less cautious than we did.

It feels like a decent point but it also feels like a bad point. This United side are terrible but as you said, we gave them far too much respect. It's a missed opportunity. 

The game should have ended 0-1 to us, if also we were awarded a penalty which was incorrectly, not given. But Arsenal dominated from the first minute. We have better creativity than they too, so we couild have carved them open but oh well, still will take the point.

United are in 15th after 6 games and they go to Everton next weekend...

They tend to do better away from home plus also Everton look so vulnerable without Richarlison and James Rodriguez both not playing. But hopefully James is back for that. But the way the league works is so weird. Arsenal look clueless against a depleted Leicester team and lose 1-0 and then go on to win against United. United battered Leipzig in the week and then lose to Arsenal LOL. This league comes up with so many disproportionate results.

Yes, we should have gotten the penalty but at the same time, if we had shown a bit more intent, we might have won it without relying on a penalty to win.

I expect City to beat Liverpool next week and Spurs will go on top of the table. 

That first round loss aside they have all wins and two last second conceding goals draws. 

We are also in the title race, in the end injuries, European competitions and details will decide all. 

And Lamptey scored 😂

[Vesper 29,226]

1 1

I cannot believe what I am seeing on here

[Azul 1,615]

the fact that the ref was looking at the screen for 2mins and still gave the goal is scary imo. these lot are brainless
