      To be fair it was Utd’s 4th away game in 9 days. Perhaps turn a corner wasn’t the best phrase, but at the same time in recent weeks it did seem there was still something in the dressing room. I mean obviously the new signings, along with the youngsters have helped freshen things up somewhat. But what I think Man Utd lack generally is a strong identity and philosophy that would help them become more consistent. I think before the Liverpool game for example, Solksjaer publicly admitted they might have a better chance as Utd tended to be better against very open sides (and struggled vs defensive ones) which was a huge acknowledgement of weakness and something a Man Utd manager should never admit.

        Crazy game, great entertainment, but just think Klopp could have given it a touch more serious thought that would have avoided such a basketball game. Like the look of Kelleher and Jones for us.

            Don’t get why we didn’t play Jones from the off?

                    Still like the look of Kelleher though.

                      Surprised we went into the game without a recognised centre back.

                        Adlab, you’d have thought that they would have developed this first before implementing VAR offsides with the crude line that they are currently using. It’s effectively an admission that the current system is, well, not great…

                          442, we were all hoping Keita would be like Kante, and if he had been, we’d have pipped City to the league last season. But we’ve only seen glimpses of what we hope he can do so far. Apparently Klopp recently admitted that he’s only just started to grasp the English language, so with that, and an injury free run of games, I’m hopeful we can start to see more of what we initially expected of him in coming months. He could, potentially, taken us up half a notch or two if he can deliver.

                            And vs Spurs, Sissoko went past him like he wasn’t there for their goal.

                              442, I have to agree. I’d quite easily swap Fabinho for Kante. I think 10 years ago Fabinho would rightly have been considered a top defensive midfielder. But with the way the game has evolved to a high energy game, Kante has redefined the role. There are some games like Sundays game where Fabinho can look the part when the team is playing well with a high press. But in other games I see him get passed too easily. Kante just…doesn’t. Indeed vs Liverpool during Kante’s goal he went past Fabinho like he wasn’t there.

                                Liverpool seemed to press quite highly yesterday, something they often do at home, and something which makes Henderson look the part and undoubtedly gets the best out of him. That’s why Klopp always had faith we would win the game. But as we all know, when we don’t press as much, particularly away from home, we struggle more. And in such games that’s when Henderson is pretty ineffective. Hence he splits opinion. That’s why it’s so crucial we now have Ox & hopefully Keita to give us more in such games. That’s where we failed last season in those big away games.

                                  VAR should be used as an aid, as a last resort, for big errors, with the on pitch referee having the last call via the pitch side monitors. Instead, because of the availability of the technology, it’s taking over the game.

                                    Still think one of Arsenal’s biggest problems is squad togetherness. Just looking through the squad, it’s hard to find players that have been there for more than 2/3 years, and indeed one of the few Arsenal players that has been there a while (for 6 years) is…Özil, who is currently being frozen out. So whilst there’s no doubt still legitimate criticism of Emery, the question, at the end of the day, are who are his sergeants on the football pitch? Can’t think of many. So it’s no wonder they struggle away from home. So for me Arsenal’s priority first and foremost is try and build some kind of base that will eventually give them the resilience they so desperately need. But that can only be done in the longer term so any solution here is way deeper than Emery.

                                      Just catching up with the disallowed Arsenal goal…what a farcical decision that was.

                                        Anyway, on another note, looking at the other games today, yet more overruling of the on pitch referee. Coincidence or has there been an internal review?

                                          I think Carragher has epitomised Spurs situation – they had a really good team, but unlike Liverpool they didn’t add players that would take them to the next, final level. And it’s just gone stale as times gone on. Obviously better today, and perhaps unlucky at times, but again, stuttering overall.
