I agree, their left side is pretty poor at the moment

[peekay]

Arsenal have been very poor. United could have scored 2 or 3 there.

[Fernandinho]

The formation they are using suits Giroud Podolski and Cazorla, but I am not sure the rest of their team fit it all that well. Especially Ramsey on the right, and Wilshere who isnt suited in a deeper role.

the right side and middle havent been uch better

[Muddled]

What the deal with Ramsey? I have never seen much of him, does he hold onto the ball a little too long for most of them?

Arteta as been suprisingly quiet, he normally does well to take control of these games and slow them down, but its passing him by. Its a shame Diaby isnt available, a midfield of Diaby Wilshere and Cazorla would be awesome.

He's very neat and tidy on the ball, but lacks an ability to make a decision. As such, any approach play loses its momentum when he retains the ball for too long and the moment passes by. This also means Ramsey gets caught in possession and can often get caught out of position.

As for Arteta, Rooney seems to be dropping deep and picking him up, so he can't get time on the ball to influence the game. Diaby would have shored it up a lot more, but at the moment, Man Utd are bossing the centre of the park despite having a wank midfield themselves.

that last play there said it all. Wilshere trying to drive to the byline and ending up taking the ball out of play with no options.

'Are you Savile in disguise' being sung by the United fans to Wenger

Wenger reference I presume.

That Giroud header was truly awful

[red g]

Has anybody ever seen Cleverley even have an average game? He has been so poor everytime I have seen him he could be the new Joe Cole

[Fernandinho]

T'was.

Although I do like the look of him. Stamdard description of "Good touch for a big guy" applies to him. Seems the type of player they always needed. Big, strong lad up top with a good touch and poacher abilities.
