Manchester United's success in beating Arsenal cannot be separated from Erik ten Hag's role in choosing the players to be played and reserved in my opinion, even though Arsenal dominated the game as Arsenal usually do in every game.
I watched the game to the end on television and I think there were a few things that made Arsenal lose for the first time this season in the Premier League. Arsenal's defense failed to establish communication with the defensive midfielders in anticipation of Rashford and Eriksen. Marcus Rashford has speed so it is very easy for him to receive a quick pass from Eriksen.
It's quite annoying to see Arsenal failure to maintain a record of consecutive wins, but indeed Manchester United was lucky enough in that match, the lack of stock of defensive midfielders made Arsenal defense very easy to break when Manchester relied on counterattacks, our players were too busy attacking to forget that Manchester counterattack was very deadly, but as an arsenal fan, I was quite satisfied with yesterday arsenal games and hope that Arteta can find a solution to strengthen the defense in the next match.
Arteta prefers to play Sambi Lokonga over Marquinhos to accompany Granit Xhaka. Sambi Lokonga and Marquinhos are actually both good, but Arteta must know that they are facing a winning streak. At least Arteta could have replaced Sambi Lokonga early in the second half with Marquinhos instead of F. Vieira
You have to admit that McTominay in that game was like a monster who managed to ruin Arsenal's midfield game.
