Arsenal 0-0 Manchester United : Five Talking Points

Arsenal struggle to find a response, whilst Moyes got what he came for

Before the game, Wenger spoke of the game against United being the “defining moment in Arsenal’s season” and that a response was vital. And, whilst they started anxiously and slowly gathered momentum, they were still unable to go any further than third gear. They looked like a car which wanted to go very fast, but were stuck in traffic and as a result, they couldn’t mount a strong enough challenge to come away with all three points.

Their inability to create clear cut chances played into the hands of United, who were more than happy to sit back and soak up the pressure. In the end, Moyes would have been the happier man, when the final whistle blew, as he finally had a performance that he could be proud of.
