#3 Arsenal susceptible on the counter yet again
Despite crashing out of the FA Cup, the main frustration from an Arsenal perspective regards injuries. Sokratis (ankle) and Laurent Koscielny (facial), the club's first-choice defensive partnership, is no more - both had to be replaced after succumbing to their respective injuries.
Even still, the manner in which the goals they conceded was painful to watch. The first one was created by an excellent Lukaku pass, but why did both Koscielny and Shkodran Mustafi rush out to try and block his shot instead of holding their positions? It left a gaping hole for Alexis to capitalise upon, which he certainly did.
The second was a counter-attack and Arsenal players were caught far too high up the pitch, though Lingard had acres of space to run into and crucially time to pick his spot beyond Cech too.
Lacazette's misplaced pass set United on their way to a match-winning third but why was no midfielder in sight to try and stop, or at the very least delay Pogba's driving run forward?
After such an encouraging display against Chelsea, they've gone and conceded three preventable goals against another top-six rival on this occasion. Arsenal, particularly in defence, is the epitome of inconsistency.
