Manchester United were more defensive, that in itself shows that Olid wants to make changes but also make adjustments that suit the players as they develop and grow into her style of play. That will give confidence to the team. For me, adjusting things for your players shows signs of a good manager.
FT: Arsenal 1-1 Man Utd
Arsenal boss Renee Slegers speaking to Sky Sports: "Of course we wanted to do better. Today I wanted to be more dangerous, I don't think we were dangerous enough, even though we dominated in touches, still not dangerous enough.
"We gave away a goal and they haven't created much else. If that's the scenario, we come back from a mentality perspective. Disappointed with the loss of points.
"It's details in the final third, how do we set each other up, what's the intent? We need to be able to break things down, it's a collective responsibility. We were more aggressive in the second half, we have to stay together and pick each other up.
"There's a short turnaround but we need everyone ready. Recover, review and get ready for Wednesday."

Manchester United manager Eva Olid, asked whether she is enjoying her role: "You always want to win. The first two matches didn't start as we wanted. But I believe in myself and the team. And I know that things are going to come. It's just a difficult start. But that doesn't define us as a team. It's been two bad days. Now we need to build from here.
"They are supporting me a lot. They see me working so hard every day. I don't stop. They support me, they know that it's a process. They believe in me. They see how we are trying to improve in attack, implementing the style. I feel a lot of support from them."
Asked about Wednesday's League Cup game against WSL 2 side Sheffield United:
"I think it's a good match - with all respect, as still we will have to defend - but it's a match to create confidence in attack, try things, and keep growing as a team."

Went in expecting the worst, but I’m proud of the fight we showed tonight. Gutted we conceded late on but hope we can use this to push on.

Manchester United manager Eva Olid talking to Sky Sports: "When you are so close [to winning], it's hard. We wanted the three points a lot today. We worked so hard in defence, they attack more than us. You think the point is probably fair. Being that close, we are a little frustrated but at the same time, happy for the performance.
"This week was short. We wanted focus in defence. We did that in training. Focussing on the shape, the defensive basics. I need time to build what we want to build in attack. It will come. The defensive shape is the minimum, from there, we'll build the attack.
"We are a team who need to press high but at the same time we want to be better with the ball. We lose simple basses, passes, we cannot recognise the free player. Those things need to improve. It'll come, I'm sure. But we need to keep this, then from there, little by little, be an attacking team, create more chances, score more goals. I cannot pretend it's happening in four weeks but I'm sure it will come."

I don’t get the complaining about the referee not adding on an extra minute. You’ve had 90 to score and not taken your chance.. it’s not their fault Arsenal have started slow, again.

Goal scored in injury time and the Utd defender’s “injury” took 30 seconds at least from the time added on too. How do you then stop the game just 20 seconds over the 6 minutes?!
Ali, London
Ref didn’t have a good game but at least did come away with a point. Need to better up front. Too cautious.

Appalling officiating all everything... And yet they wonder why everybody complains about it.

For Zigiotti to have the composure and state of mind to take that shot. She's not a natural nine so it is difficult. That was the moment that Manchester United needed in the game. It didn't come from design or strategy, it came from determination.

Despite missing out on all three points, this should be a much needed confidence boost for United. Both for the team and their fanbase. Something to build upon!

Superb battling performance from United, very unlucky not to have won. The Eva Olid reign is underway!

I caught up with Maya [Le Tissier] after the Chelsea game. It was hard to see her deflated.
For her experience, for somewhat of a young player, she's still inexperienced within leadership in terms of going through change at a club, new managers... you have to experience things like that to know how to navigate those situations.
In those moments, everyone looks at you as captain.
Seeing her lead tonight, that's Maya, top tier. I thought she was outstanding, led by example, knowing when to tuck the team in, defending with her heart and soul.

Manchester United player Maya Le Tissier speaking to Sky Sports: "Last week was awful, we hold our hands up. We were hurting, got to training and came out a different side, we had some honest conversations with the players and the staff how we want to play. We came out a different team tonight, but gutted to concede.
"We need to be confident, we've had a difficult run of results recently, not our standards at all. We need to be competing in the game. One game to build on, another game on Wednesday. It's good.
"We love to defend, love to keep clean sheets, we can build on that. It was a much more 'us' performance. If we concede, I'd rather score more than we concede. Big point considering the results and the performance is what we can work on."

Arsenal have so much attacking quality that we really should score, but we always start the season slowly for some reason. Hopefully this late point is the start of positive momentum.
Esme, Northamptonshire
Dropped points again from Arsenal. That squad is stacked and should be beating a team like Utd.

Arsenal look half a yard short everywhere. Play the same way every game. Stanway is somewhere else. Not enough guts. We really have gone backwards.
John, Essex
Going forward Arsenal players appear to make things up as they go along - few, if any, patterns and always too many touches without any decisiveness, far too slow.

It's positive for Manchester United. I think this game will strengthen the bond between Eva Olid and her players. It will be invaluable going forward.
I think the angry manager here is Renee Slegers.

It did seem odd that injury-time wasn't extended beyond the six minutes allocated despite Arsenal scoring late on.

Looking at the Manchester United defence, Arsenal are lucky to get that goal, United maybe switched off a bit on that last ball in.
But it was a fantastic ball, a fantastic goal.
Arsenal deserve the goal on the basis of being relentless and constantly putting the pressure on.
This was a different United team today, and defensively outstanding.
Manchester United last won at Emirates Stadium in November 2022
Smilla Holmberg's stoppage-time equaliser for Arsenal denied Manchester United a first Women's Super League victory this season.
United had shocked Arsenal by taking the lead midway through the second half when Julia Zigiotti capitalised on an under-hit pass from Georgia Stanway.
But Arsenal kept pushing for an equaliser and eventually got it when Holmberg volleyed a cross from the left into the roof of the net with 90 seconds remaining.
It was a dramatic end to a match in which Manchester United were impressive defensively and put aside the disappointment of their opening two defeats of the season.
The visitors came into the game under heavy criticism for poor displays against London City Lionesses and Chelsea, but this was considerably better.
They were defensively organised, much better in midfield, and were able to cause Arsenal problems on the occasions they did break into the opposition third.
Striker Elisabeth Terland had two of their best chances early on, forcing a double save from goalkeeper Misa Rodriguez.
Arsenal responded as Mariona Caldentey's strike swirled over and Stina Blackstenius' header had to be tipped over the bar by Phallon Tullis-Joyce.
United continued to defend impressively and were rewarded for their efforts when Zigiotti handed them the lead but they could not hold on.
The outcome meant Arsenal extended their WSL unbeaten streak to 20 games, while new United boss Eva Olid must wait for her first victory.
The main criticism directed towards Arsenal this season has concerned their lack of ruthlessness and their decision-making in the final third. It was no different here.
United were there for the taking, having endured two poor performances to start their campaign, and Arsenal needed to strike while they were vulnerable.
Instead, they allowed their opponents to grow in confidence as Arsenal's attacking play grew stale and predictable.
Leah Williamson's vision from the back opened up United on occasions, and Olivia Smith was busy down the right wing, but Arsenal were largely toothless and were almost made to pay for it.
They relied on a late equaliser to save a point, but this is a result that leaves them trailing leaders Manchester City by four points after just three games of the season.
"Like you say, it's round three in the WSL. There's a lot of games left to play so let's see in May how it ends, but we can only look at ourselves," said manager Renee Slegers.
"If I look at the last two games, not turning that dominance into goals and wins, is something we have to look at. We believe in the quality of the squad and their ideas.
"We can create in a variety of ways. When that starts clicking, it will be really good. It really is about the details in the final third.
"It's not ideal, it's not what we wanted at all to have four lost points, and Manchester City are the only ones with nine points so far."
Pressure will build as their Women's Champions League campaign begins and they travel to Stamford Bridge next Sunday for a feisty London derby against Chelsea in the WSL.
After their first two performances of the season, few backed United to get a result at the Emirates.
Their shortcomings were ruthlessly exposed by Chelsea in a 5-0 home loss last weekend, following a disappointing opening defeat by London City Lionesses to start the new era under former Hearts boss Olid.
Olid said criticism was to be expected, but United's fans will have left London full of optimism on Saturday night after a much better display against an Arsenal team many had tipped to win the title.
United's structure was noticeably better as Anna Sandberg and Andrea Medina worked together to minimalise the threat from winger Smith, and goalkeeper Tullis-Joyce stood firm.
Their midfield was more effective, helped by a superb individual performance from Simi Awujo, and Terland provided a threat up front, testing goalkeeper Rodriguez twice in the first half.
Olid's gameplan worked a treat as Arsenal's frustrations grew, gaps opened up and United were poised to exploit them, eventually pouncing on the error from Stanway to take the lead.
It was therefore a blow for them to concede so late on, having done everything right up to that moment. Regardless of the late pain, this was a significant improvement on the first two weeks of the season and gives Olid and her players something to build from.
