goal sanogo scored was clearly offside, these things are apart of football, GREAT teams overcome these obstacles, GREAT teams do not crumble with 3 or 4
goal leads, GREAT teams do not

goals in 40 mins REGULARLY, GREAT teams average more than one tackle every 90 mins, GREAT teams don't need more 7 clear cut chances to score, united have academy players in defence, in fact our defensive players are 15x better but VAN GAAL will get a result, united have had an injury list just
as long if not longer than ours but VAN GAAL will get a result, united have just gone through a managerial shift but VAN GAAL will get a result, so why on earth are united in the title race and not arsenal?

I have to say that we had such a poor reaction after going ahead, when we should have been looking to bury Everton rather than dropping off, but that has been symptomatic of a lot of our games this season — why, I'm not sure,

As a result, it would surely require a player to head out first to make space for Werner, but having spent so heavily on their attack, it's only logical that they address their issues at the other end of the pitch given that they possess the worst defensive record of the top seven Premier League sides this season having
conceded 36

goals and are entertaining, infact Liverpool is the new Arsenal,
