Surprising result today. It seems Leicester didn't have their shooting boots. If they did, this game could've well been out of sight.
Think we should be grateful that they took it easy on us today and that we surprised them with a few attacks.
A team that won't be as merciful though? United. Man U. How do we stop these juggernauts?
They're currently rampant and sit pretty at the top of the league.
We will need to have the game of our lives for us to stand a chance.
I'm worried about one player in particular. Not Martial, not Rooney (who's still quality as proven by his class goal today) but a certain Dutchman by the name of Depay.
Scored a great goal today. Steering an awkward ball by some faceless player on the flanks into the net.
I was impressed. Plus he likes to shoot a lot so that will be a problem.
I think we missed a trick in not signing this lad. He's been a revelation thus far scoring goals left, right and centre with all parts of his body ranging from his shoulder blade, nose and scrotum.
We're in for a long day lads. Another loss on the cards. United are just too strong, too fast.
How Do We Stop United?

Kos will nullify martial but Rooney will get his customary goal. I think we could hit 3 tho, we've been creating 20+ chances a match.

Rooney will also be a major threat. He popped with a goal yesterday which shows he's still class.

Watching the little I saw of Martial in highlights, he actually just reminds me of a young Walcott. He is a bit "headless chicken" still. I like the fact that he has been made a striker from the outset as he'll be the finished product earlier in his career.
Actually a good buy for Utd but would have been madness for us with Walcott and Welbeck at the club. Someone's progress would be prevented. As long as we don't get " Having a howler mistake today" Kos, Martial will be kept quiet.
Rooney's just a git to Arsenal you just know he'll score. Fair play to the man, can't stand him but his presence means we have to score 2 so he pressures us into performing.

Martial is anything but a "headless chicken". He will also be a constant thorn in our side. A major threat.

Dubbed
Maybe I've just not seen enough of him but the little I have seen says he's a few seasons off thorn in our side. Everyone's caught up in the hype/price tag, as usual and talking as though he's the finished product. He's not and has a way to go before he'll be outscoring Walcott over a season
As said, provided our defenders don't make a howling mistake, he'll be kept quiet. This season at least.

I never meant headless chicken- rubbish as such.
Headless chicken - young. Just that naivety that all young players have. Even Ronaldo was a headless chicken once upon a time. Albeit a headless chicken with a stepover.

Ronaldo was never a "'headless chicken". He was a constant thorn in our side. A major threat. And is currently one of the GOAT.

Early on in Ronaldo's first season, he was a headless chicken. It's a common trait among young wingers especially. Don't make out like the Ronaldo at Real is the same standard of player that was 17 at Utd. He wasn't, he was raw and naive and made headless chicken runs just like everyone else in the position until they learn to play it.
I'm not saying he didn't pick it up quickly and I'm not saying he's not the 2nd best player in the world. Just that one day, many many moons ago, Ronaldo's too, was a headless chicken.
