Coquelin urges consistency, praises Walcott
Van Gaal, who left Morgan Scheiderlin on the bench, made a double change at the break by replacing Matteo Darmian and Memphis Depay with Antonio Valencia and Marouane Fellaini and his side improved in the second half.
Manchester United headed into the Super Sunday’s Premier League fixture against arch-rivals Arsenal confidently but conceded three goals within twenty minutes of the opening faceoff to hand Arsene Wenger’s side vital three points.
The players held a private meeting before the match against United, who had gone into the encounter looking to reinstate themselves at the top of the table but ended the weekend down in third place.
Arsenal are over a flow of eight Premier League gaming apps if you don’t have a sensation over Manchester United (D3 L5).
Louis van Gaal has admitted he has no answers as he called Manchester United’s display at Arsenal the worst of his reign.
“The start was not shocking for us, I think we are capable of doing that, but we have to kind of remind ourselves that we can do such things”. “I was surprised. No performing our gameplan, no will to win”, Van Gaal said.
The win for the Gunners came on the back of a surprising 3-2 loss at the hands of Olympiacos in a Champions League game at the Emirates Stadium that raised all sorts of questions about the north Londoners’ ability to mount a title challenge. “I like this group and I like even more the performance we have shown”, Wenger said to Arsenal Player. The players spoke to each other on our own and we wanted to do this for the fans. So I was surprised, amazed – maybe that is a better word.
However, there was certainly no talking down the importance of a result that puts them two points off leaders City.
“You don’t expect it – we are top of the league, we have won all our last four matches and we have to protect our position”. They were not slow, but they were not aggressive, you need aggression and winning the second ball.
“Before the game our goal was to keep the top spot of the Premiership, but it wasn’t our day as we saw from the kick-off. We have an important month of October ahead, with games that will demand our best level of performance, and we have to be ready for them”.
