Topic: 🏆 The Emirates FA Cup - Season 2021/2022 - page 5. (Read 9452 times)

Where do I start... Manchester United are really different in the FA Cup.    No matter how bad they have been in the Premier League, they have been successful in the FA Cup at the same time for a few years.

Today I expected them to show resistance against Arsenal. Yeah even at Emirates.    They really did it and I must admit that I really liked Altay Bayindir's performance. He saved 2 critical penalties for his team to eliminate Arsenal.

I think the last champions Manchester United can play in the finale at least. If they win another trophy it wouldn't surprise me as well. They have a new manager but this still doesn't change anything for them in the FA Cup as it seems.

Its been a very hard past few days for Arsenal, from losing to Newcastle in the first leg of the league cup and now getting knocked out of the FA cup by a ten man Manchester United team.
The FA cup is probably the oldest cup in top flight football and it comes with great prestige and respect, I believe that Arsenal wouldn't mind adding the FA cup to their trophy cabinet.
I would not take anything away from Manchester United today as they held up their own strongly against Arsenal and yes luck was on their side but they played their own part.

Arteta is a good coach, but I think he is only good in building team not for trophies because I see no reason why he should be taking so much risk with all these cups Ten Hag used to survive his two years at Manchester United before he was sacked.
His errors caused a lot to Arsenal this season; he have the players but don’t know how to use them because of his selfish interest in team selection; he is also scared of given new players chance and he don’t like playing the players we know that are very good for the team especially in the left wing, he have Tierney that will cross ball for set pieces, but he prefer to use either Lewis Kelly or Callafiori, and his midfield selections are usually bad in some circumstances when we need goals. If you check how Arsenal are been defeated this season, he is the cause of everything with his selection and substitution. I think it’s time to let him go.

I don’t know why we must have Harvertz as our main striker; it shows that the team and the manager are not ready for big things. Arsenal as a team have the capacity of bringing a world class striker, last transfer summer was a great chance to get a striker because we have options, but the manager chose to keep Harvertz; I think Harvertz will be his way out of Arsenal because I m very sure if he didn’t win any title this season, he might get sacked.

Winning Tottenham in the Premier League will not be easy as well because it is a London derby, but I think Arsenal will try to win because they have only Premier League to consider winning this season which is their top priority.

A wonderful performance by Manchester United this evening first of all I will be giving credit to Manchester United goal keeper Bayindir to me he is my man of the match, if not also for Dalot second booking that leed to the red card Manchester United would have won the game before even going for extra time because it was after the red card that Arsenal had a chance to score I could not imagine that Manchester United will hold Arsenal draw for about 1 hour playing with 10 men against Arsenal 11 men. Odegaard penalty missed before full time gave Manchester United enough courage to fight till the end despite playing with 10 men against 11 is long I watch Manchester United played such a determine game even though Arsenal was putting more pressure on them after several goals attempt Manchester United goal keeper never allow arsenal to score before heading to penalty shot out, if Manchester United should continue with this mentality of not losing hope till full time we might likely see them playing in the finals of the Emirates FA cup.

I think it time arsenal consider parting ways with Mikel Arteta, arsenal are now probably 80% ending this season without a trophy. After getting kicked out of the FA cup today by 10 men Manchester United and losing in the first leg semi-final of the Corabao cup to Newcastle, I don’t think they are favorite in winning the champions league and premier league this season. It 7 years now and Mikel Arteta is yet to win a major trophy for the gunners. Since his coming they have spent over 700million on signing players and their is not to show for it.

Arsenal have every chance to beat Manchester United today, they had a penalty which they failed to convert, they had over 5 clear chances which they also failed to take. Kai harvertz is costing arsenal a lot and I think it time they consider getting a proper striker. He should have scored a goal or 2 today but he wasted his chances just like he did in their match against Newcastle in semi final.

Arsenal take on Tottenham this week in the premier league, they need a win, it a good thing they are playing at home but it still not a guarantee that they will win. It a north London derby and for sure it going to be tough and interesting, I’m really looking forward to this one.

Arsenal missed lots of chances, I'm still very surprised of how Altay Bayındır managed to save Martin Ødegaard's penalty kick, he was so sharp, that was a big save for someone who had a shitty performance in Manchester United's past visit to London, when they played against Tottenham in the Caraboa Cup, it's shows that he's received some good goalkeeping drillins after that very poor performance against Tottenham. Well, asides that i think Manchester United players are becoming very good defensively, lots of their players perfomed brilliantly, they didn't give in to Arsenal's attacking pressure. Anyways, nice job Ruben Amorim, i think the player are gradually improving but they also need to work on the attack, i mean they need more better attacking players to help strength that area and help other of their teammates who are still finding difficulties in adapting to the new strategy to improve, well let's see what INEOS would do in this current transfer window. It's funny how this victory against Arsenal brings joy to lots of Manchester United supports, it's a big win though and it means Arsenal might go trophyless again this season.

This season Arteta is really confused with the situation that happened with his team, instead of wanting to present something for Arsenal this season, it is the opposite and now he only has to go home empty-handed again. Yes, The Gunners this season do not have a sharp striker figure so that many opportunities are wasted, I also do not understand the strategy implemented by Arteta even though if analyzed more deeply of course the problem will be resolved soon. But due to a series of bad results, Arteta will likely be kicked out at the end of this season because the hope of winning the competition has failed again.

Arsenal actually did not play badly, they dominated the game with 71% possession and their chances were almost 30 but they were very ineffective because only 7 were on target, besides that they could not maximize the number of players after Diogo Dalot was sent off the field, oh one more thing, Odegaard missed a penalty that should have been the key to their victory and their bad luck continued in the penalty shootout, Kai Harvert became the second person to fail, I call Arsenal having an unlucky day. On the other hand, Man Utd appeared mighty and maximized the opportunities they had, the key to their success was Bayindir, congratulations to the Red Devils for their hard work in this match which paid off.

The gunners are in need of a recognised no 9 that can be able to convert their chances. Their goal conversion rate is very poor, and any team that wants to win something don't have such a poor goal conversion ratio. This is similar something that happened to their match against Newcastle. They had lots of chances but they weren't able to convert it. The team look lost without Saka in it. With the way they were playing it looked as if they have already given up for the season. I don't know how Arsenal fans will take this, but I think Arteta is out of ideas on what to do at the club. Arsenal already knew that this was the only competition that they stand a chance of winning, but now they have blown everything up and to me there is nothing more for Arteta to prove anymore. You lost two cup games with a matter of days is that not insane?

Congratulations to me and all the Manchester United fans all over the world for winning against Arsenal today. Firstly I think I wasn't expecting Manchester United to have gotten to the 90 minutes of the game without conceding another goal after D. Dalot was sent off in the 61 minute of the game but Manchester United managed to hold Arsenal down to a 1:1 draw before moving to win the game in the penalty kick.

For the penalty kick that K. Havertz wasn't able to convert, we already know that penalty is a nobodies games and it happens that the luck didn't shine on him to score and Manchester United won at the end of the day.

To be honest, I never thought Man United could win the game after Dalot was sent off. Despite being down to 10 men, they were unbelievable, the defended well against 12 men Arsenal (including the referee) because he was big joke. He almost ruined the game with two wrong calls, the penalty and red card.

It was good win for United, a fantastic team performance but individually some players were sensational. Maguire, Deligt, Bayindyr, Fernandes and Ugarte were all brilliant. I don't know how Amorim is doing it but he's gradually changing the mentality of the team. The performance against City, Liverpool and now Arsenal are glimpse of what is to come. I think United is going to do well under the new coach.

I don't think Arsenal performing well today because according to the statistics they had 26 total of shots and Arsenal have 71% ball possession but during the match Arsenal only scored a single goal which this is not effective because their players are wasted several good opportunities to scores and i can see Arteta looks frustrate especially after Odegaard failed to take the penalty

For Manchester United although this match is not so important because it still early stage but this is good result for them because they can eliminate Arsenal and in my opinion the hero of this match is Altay Bayındır because he is very consistent at Manchester United defensive lines and i think Amorim should be try to play him at Premier League to replace Onana

Manchester United played well in the match, and I knew the match won’t really be easy for Arsenal. Most people expected the Arsenal to get a win in the match, due to how Manchester United has been playing, but I knew it’s not going to be easy for Arsenal, since Saka went on injury, Arsenal's performance has dropped. They are always creating chances, but it’s always difficult for Arsenal to convert most of those chances into goals.

Arsenal had the opportunity to win the match today, they dominated the match, and they had 26 goal attempts and had 7 shots on goal. That’s just kind of much, after so many attempts which they had in the match, they were able to score just one goal in the match, which is really a bad one for them, they missed two penalties in today's match. Manchester United had little opportunity, but they took advantage of it, they were able to hold Arsenal to a draw.

Arteta will have to work on the team's performance, Arsenal's performance is dropping gradually, and they are finding it difficult to win matches. I just feel like Arteta is not learning from his past mistakes, whenever Saka is not playing, Arsenal's performance is always dropping, and Arteta is not signing the player who will be replacing Saka.

Man Utd was lucky to come out as a winner i partly due to how well they defended and kudos to their goalkeeper who kept them in the competition the two penalty saves he made was very crucial to their qualification and also made some brilliant and fantastic saves to keep Man Utd despite playing with 10 men after Dalot was sent off the Red devils thrown every players to defend and deployed a well utilized counterattack to scored their first goal thereafter Arsenal equalizer came through Gabriel, Arsenal should use their advantage to seal a win unfortunately or very unlucky to do so after several goal attempt missed definitely the team would have themselves to blame for their loss

The first half was not as interesting as the second half, in fact, the first half was so boring that I regretted taking the time to watch Manchester United's game against Arsenal. However, in the second half, we saw some changes; both teams were eager to score goals. To be honest, without Bukayo Saka, I can't put Arsenal among the top four clubs in the Premier League; their attackers were poor, losing many scoring opportunities, now I see why they were defeated by Newcastle at Emirates Stadium in the Carabao Cup.

However, kudos to Manchester United, they played a great game, and I was impressed with their performance in the second half, despite the fact that they were down to 10 men in 61 minutes of a game. Manchester United fought hard to play against Arsenal without conceding another goal after Gabriel equalized for Arsenal in 63 minutes. I believe Bayindir became tired of sitting on the bench for a lot of games, he has improved and deserved man of the match after saving two penalties that may have led to a defeat for Manchester United. I hope to see them perform like this in Premier League games.

the absence of Saka in the team has indeed had quite an impact on Arsenal's game. Arteta certainly realized this and perhaps that sparked rumors about Arteta wanting to bring in new players with a striker type in the Arsenal squad.
after successfully thwarting Arsenal's penalty, of course the mentality of the MU players increased when the match was forced into a penalty shootout, they gained the advantage with better confidence. Arsenal failed to take advantage of the opportunity, that's what made them fail to beat MU.

Arsenal failure to win actually started from odegaard penalty failure in the 70th minute and after that I saw that arsenal attack was no longer effective although they only faced 10 manchester united players, honestly I see that the loss of Saka has really affected their performance and also sharpness of the attack line at the moment, so it's no surprise that Manchester United could eliminate them today from the FA competition, with the faillure today, arteta should start thinking openly to find a new central striker instead of continuing to expect Kai Harvest in front line, regardless from penalty faillure in the match, but in my opinion relying kai harvest and Sterling in a crucial match is Arteta biggest blunder so far.

Arsenal performed well throughout the match. However, Arsenal lost the match in the end. Manchester United played defensively from the start of the match. And they probably tried to draw the match. After Diogo Dalot received a red card in the 61st minute, Manchester United players could not make any strong attack. Arsenal were also unlucky in this match. Odegaard failed to score from the penalty spot in the 72nd minute. Arsenal lost 5-3 in the penalty shootout. After sharing points with Liverpool in the last match, Manchester United players also performed well against Arsenal. Manchester United players are now confident.

Arsenal has just crashed out of the FA Cup competition by loosing on a penalty shout out with Manchester United on a game that entered in extra time, All Manchester United's penalty spot takers saw the back of the net, whereas Kai Havertz was the player that lost Arsenal own opportunity to have entered the next phase of the competition. Kudos goes to Manchester United for their resilience in this game and stopping Arsenal from sweeping this very opportunity out their hands.

Honestly the injuries among the Arsenal players have really had a negative impact on Arsenal's performance lately and that have equally exposed Arsenal's lack of strong squad depth. Today, Jorginho have also exhibited another injury attack which I felt could also affect Arsenal's opportunity to win this game at penalty shootouts. I didn't expect Jorginho to be out because he's a good penalty taker. Although I have faith in other players currently in the pitch but Arsenal is at danger right now.

Arsenal lost the match on a 3 to 5 goal defeat against Manchester United. They had all the opportunities to win this game in the second half as they were 10 men over 11 but it was evident that Arsenal wasn't ready to win especially as they were missing goal opportunities back to back.

Before the penalties, Arsenal had 12 corners but none of this materialized a goal. I expected Arteta to have cautioned the team based on their frequent use of the right wing and the under utilization of their left wing but that did not happen. I also expected Arteta to have cautioned the players for their header game as they seemed to lack confidence in penetrating the 18 yard box with one-two passes but everything was a mess.

Let me say kudos to Amorim for securing this great chance for the club to move higher and for him to have build the confidence in the Man U players. I sincerely gave them the onions to have succeeded in winning this game even when there was an absence of Dalot at the 61st minute of the second half, they held Arsenal to their bear maintaining the 1-1 game.
