we did quite 'okay' for today's match.
i can see that they are trying very hard to minimize the crossings

in which however exposed our lack of commanding attacking central midfielder to control the ball at the opponent's half. too many loose balls.
that role shud have been perfect for mata, but then again, moyes plays him as a winger. (which i strongly against because of mata's lack of pace).
this also shows that playing 2 holding midfielders at the same time (carrick-fletcher or carrick-cleverly) isnt working anymore. the combination yields too little service to the strikers (which resulted in less goal scoring chances and had to rely heavily from the crosses). i wish moyes stick with carrick alone as the holding midfielder and kagawa/mata as the CM in front of carrick since kagawa/mata can pass/dribble the ball better than cleverly
carrick was consistent as he was in the last 10 matches or so. cleverly was average, but better than he did in the last 5 matches he played.
persie shud have scored the first minute chance. still not quite back to his goal scoring form. same goes to rooney. they are very average since they came back from injury.
de gea was superb. our defenders played surprisingly good

but that might have been because arsenal themselves played very poorly.
hopefully this one point can be the stepping stone for united to back to winning ways.
