thats like us in the 90's we turned that many corners we ended up dizzy.

Got to laugh when I see people talk about 'masterclass' in their game against Arsenal....
No manager sets his team up to have THIRTY-THREE shots on their goal.
No manager can set his team up knowing the Arsenal center halves would give the ball away just outside their own box in the opening minutes.
They got a 2-0 lead because of horrendous errors. That's all to it.

The 33 shots against (and 14 goalie saves), is a pretty damning stat for the non goalie defence.
I think I’ve seen City have 30+ Shots on the bbc match stats about twice in the past 7 years.
It’s not just the 33, it’s the wide difference between that and theirs (8).
If it was fairly equal then fair enough but to be 25 shots different...
The 33 is a shot against every 3 minutes, If we get even close to 2/3 of that figure on Sunday...

Well, did they lodge an appeal against Pogbads sending off? The deadline was supposedly 1pm today.
Yet you could argue that Cech made the best save of the game to deny Lingard.
Yes and a fish rides a bicycle
Wtf has a Cech save got to do with 33 shots at the other end.
Ddg had a worldie display. Arsenal had the biggest discrepancy between xG and actual goals so far - due to 1 player, covering the asses of a dire defence.

Maureen wouldn’t say if they had appealed or not in his press conference!

You could probably argue that United play open attractive football under Mourinho but it doesn't make the statement correct.

Because most of De Gea's work was routine stuff. I know Arsenal fans want to console themselves with these stats but it was desperation, kitchen sink stuff: competing for second balls off set pieces, optimistic shots from distance etc. Hardly glorious football.
I do like how De Gea's aura is now so great that opposition fans lose their mind whenever he plays well. It reminds me of Schmeichel.
