What were the key moments in the Arsenal vs Man Utd match?
Goalless at half-time, and then Granit Xhaka took a chance. Big deflection, De Gea beating Arsenal in front, and then just two minutes, nine seconds later, delicious inviting ball from Oxlade-Chamberlain, finished off by Danny Welbeck. He and man of the match, Aaron Ramsey, with Patrick Davison.
Guys, well played. Danny, extra special for you, I guess, but for the team, for Arsenal, what did that mean?
Yeah, it was really important for us to get the victory today and obviously with our position in the table at the moment, we need to be further up there and it's something that we're all disappointed about. but to get the victory and hopefully give us a good end to the season, it's a good start. Aaron, man of the match today, is that formation bringing the best out of you?
Yeah, I felt good in the games that I've been playing in and going into positions, goal-scoring positions as well, so playing that formation gives me a bit more freedom. But no, it's a formation that we're still working on, but it showed today that we can... that we can be effective using it, you know, and we're just delighted for ourselves, for the fans as well. They deserve that today to go on with a smile on their face.
And Danny, of course, you love Manchester United, but you keep doing it to them.
Yeah, obviously, I grew up there and everything, so it's a special, special place in my life. But once we get on that pitch, it's just business at the end of the day and just try and get the points for the team.
How did Arsenal's formation impact their performance?
And thankfully, we did that today.
And couldn't resist a little smile and a celebration at the end of the goal.
Yeah, when you score you've got to be happy, haven't you? So, yeah, it's only normal.
Aaron, very good day in terms of the top four. Is it still on for Arsenal, Champions League football?
I said a few weeks ago that we have to win every game, and we didn't do that against Tottenham, so let's just build on this now and finish the season off strongly, hopefully win them all, and go and see where that takes us, but hopefully we can get that confidence to take it into the final.
Like I say, you're the Premier League man of the match, Danny, careful mate, they're heavy.
Cheers, mate.
Thank you very much.
I'm going to have to say that if they didn't score that goal, I don't know if they would have scored like that. But then when they scored that goal, it looked like everybody wanted to be on the ball, everybody was a bit more composed, and they were a bit better at it. But I know you wanted to talk about this one, Graham, so I'm going to leave it to you.
Yeah, I mean, a large slice of luck, but... Herrera, who's been having a good time of late for me, is the biggest culprit here, apart from the obvious turning his back on her.
What does Aaron Ramsey say about the importance of the victory?
Go to the ball, son. A midfield player defending the edge of his box. To defend properly, you get out and confront the ball and put pressure on the ball. Watch, Martial's the one who ends up chasing this. He's nearest the thrower. He ends up chasing him down. What is Herrera doing? It's not as if he's got Arsenal bodies round him. Then he commits the sin by completely turning his back on it. Oh, I'm scared to take a blow for the cause. And that's what's costing the first goal. Herrera at fault. Get out, away from the centre-half, put the ball under pressure. That's what central midfield players have to do when the ball's round your area. Get to the ball, stop them getting their head up and stop them having shots.
What were the criticisms of Manchester United's tactics?
But the game had been drifting into that second half.
Yeah, I think you described it as putrid.
Yeah, that's what it was.
So should we credit Xhaka with actually just taking a bit of a chance?
Yeah, and Thierry talks about it a lot with Arsenal. Just have a shot from distance. Anything can happen. Deflection, we see it so often. And once they scored that first goal, United had no answer, really. They didn't really change their tactics. But the second goal was a piece of quality, and it divened up the game exactly what they needed. And it was reminiscent of a goal you scored a few years ago, big man.
