How do teams beat Arsenal? Everyone knows the answer.
You stop them playing beautiful football and deny them any time on the ball.
If you allow them time on the ball so they can pass the ball around all day long, you are ******ed.
This is what United did and is why they lost.

The British press like to portray Arsenal as the UK's version of Barcelona when in fact they're miles apart in the style of football they play IMO.

Everyone rightly praises how they play but because other teams don't play that way it doesn't make their football ethos rubbish. Arsenal currently have more problems than United to deal with atm with their team.
