Match Thread | Arsenal vs Man City FA Cup (18/07/20)

[Rammy Blue]

I know it hasn’t influenced the game, as we’ve been so bad, but Jon Moss has been his usual pisspoor self. Abysmal ref.

 

[PannickAtTheDisco]

Clearly Bayern weren't so wrong to not allow Pep free say in the transfer market judging by this squad, so unbalanced with no leaders and players out of position and too many nice guys who will listen and pick up the paycheck instead of standing up for themselves and the club.

 

[@BluePhil8]

Mustafi dead from sliding. Give this man an Oscar.

 

[ScottSinclair]

He probably wishes he still had Falcao and Mbappe to aim at in the box

Underrated comment. We have some of the best crossers in world football and Sterling and Jesus who uses the top of his head to head the ball to aim at

 

[dhruvblue]

Arteta was here when such games become a feature since start of the season.

If we have ones such game or twice a year it's understandable but every 2nd 3rd game where we look absolute clueless and opposition just waits to run and counter usband scores from 1) 2 shots is ridiculous

 

[Heath Park]

BT and Macca loving this.

 

[Hercules]

Wow is this really city?

 

[Ban-jani]

Fucking disgrace this.

5 months of meaningless games to put this performance in the first knock out match we have

 

[kaz7]

Hate time wasting

 

[ninjamonkey]

Why not at least stick stones and Otamendi on upfront get some bodies in the box seeing as our entire plan is pass it side to side for 5 minutes then put it in the box for the lone Jesus to battle 5 defenders.

 

[Tricky_Trev]

Waits until 87 mins to take Silva off. Wow you fucked up today Pep.

 

[Blu3m00n91]

Get one they’ll fold

One what? Shot on target? That’s probably the best we can hope for

 

[super_city_si]

If we’re going to spend 10 minutes crossing it bring on Otamendi for jesus

 

[mikemcfc]

didn't suggest no goals is his fault

what were you suggesting then? what could he have done today?

 

[SleepingBlueTiger]

Sterling will score at least 2 when we beat a team 5-0 but when we need one he is missing same as Jesus.

This. Been a problem all season. All good laughing about and scoring 1 out of your 5 chances against relegation fodders but against a good defense you can't afford that and he is immediately a liability.

 

[mcfc_ms]

86 mins, Dave off Fernandinho on

What is the point?

 

[supersonicblue]

One of those days

 

[IcriedwhenTueartleft]

Garcia is crap

but but but....good passer of the ball, just like Stones

 

[Dax777]

Why wasn't he there in the first place offering an option to Ederson instead of hiding behind an Arsenal player ?

That's a silly question. Ederson should not have made a dumb pass. The absence of others is not an excuse.

Once he made a dumb error, Gundogan cleaned it up. Let's not play cute with the facts.

 

[Phil1]

No escaping the fact we’ve got problems when all 11 players aren’t firing. A couple off the game we struggle through. 10 off their game then even Pep can’t fix that.

 

[Beanhead]

They just wasted 6 mins.
