Calm down, this is just the first match and you don’t expect Arsenal to dominate greatly in Old Trafford except you’re trying to say Manchester United don’t have any value again. Remember Manchester United then had more value compared to now, they’re gradually coming back but don’t expect Arsenal to play like it’s that simple, I watched the match although the fact remains Arsenal won with a goal difference yet Manchester United dominated the whole match, all thanks to Arsenal defense team they did a great job especially Raya. Arteta should learn how to make adjustment after this match knowing he got new players with potential, he might have gotten the whole setting wrong from my view the little changes had a side effect on the players, honestly they can’t win the title with this performance

You made a brilliant and intelligent analysis.
I watched the game as well, and you've literally said all that happened. Arsenal didn't play like the Arsenal we used to know, probably because it was the first game of the season, and it was an away game. You don't expect an away side to dominate the home side in a very big game. I can bet that the opposite will definitely happen when Manchester United pays a visit to the Emirate stadium.

I think Arsenal did the most important thing today, which is the 3 pts. They've being playing good football for 3 seasons now, but haven't won a major trophy with it. Good football doesn't matter much again because only points wins a team a trophy. They will be up against Leeds at the Emirate in their next game, so I guess they might have fully settled to match the rhythm of other teams. And luckily for them, they will have to play the top clubs in the early games of this season in an away fixture, while playing at home in the second half of the season. Their real work for the season has already started.
