"I think Arteta is brilliant and I've praised him a lot but I think he panicked after Man United went 2-1 up and to make four changes at once. I think he's panicked and rushed those changes, rather than let Arsenal try and get back into the game with the players they had on the pitch, and it didn't pay off."
"After going ahead through a Lisandro Martinez own goal, strikes from Bryan Mbeumo and Patrick Dorgu put Arsenal behind with Arteta making a quadruple change just before the hour mark in an effort to change the game. It was to no avail though as despite a late equaliser from Mikel Merino, Matheus Cunha secured the three points for United with a sensational strike in the dying stages."
Arsenal took the lead through a Lisandro Martinez own goal, but strikes from Bryan Mbeumo and Patrick Dorgu put Arsenal behind. Arteta made a quadruple change just before the hour mark in an effort to change the game. A late equaliser from Mikel Merino briefly levelled the match, but Matheus Cunha produced a sensational late strike to secure three points for Manchester United. The substitutions were characterized as panicked and rushed and did not restore Arsenal's control. Arsenal have added forwards Viktor Gyökeres, Eberechi Eze and Noni Madueke in the last year, yet their big players have been judged insufficient this season.
