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

[I'm Blue]

Fucking disgrace this.

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

Summed up perfectly.

 

[pudge]

I blame the kit

 

[SidJames]

Sad we didn't turn up for this.

BT so painful. Arsenal pundit in the studio and co commentating. United and Liverpool represented too. WTF.

 

[Ban-jani]

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

I’d sell our entire defence apart from Walker

 

[Kokonut1307]

Bernardo?

 

[super_city_si]

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

Abysmal Game management today.

 

[argyle]

Pep really fucked up with the tactics today

 

[kanovic]

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.

What a joke of a comment wowwwwww

 

[MeatHunterrr]

Board's complacency is the reason for this. They never ever strengthen when we are on top (winning trophies) and then have to fix it all once which we can't.

We wasted a window last summer

 

[FromPollockToSilva]

I think having the Eiffel tower in the box would struggle to get on the end of some of Mendys crosses

The 15 assists he got in his last season at Monaco would suggest otherwise

 

[simon23]

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.

you are right -it hasnt influecned the game

we have been so poor and Arsenal for their organisation and clinical finishing deserve the win

 

[@BluePhil8]

Typical boo boys tonight but Mendy been shite, teams stand off him because his crossing is so shit, what did we see in him? Gundogan syndrome in midfield where the whole team is out of sync - Mahrez, Sterling and Jesus not stepping up as leaders.

 

[Tricky_Trev]

86 mins, Dave off Fernandinho on

What is the point?

To waste time and hold onto the 0-2.

 

[BlueMoonz1977]

When the team is shit the striker end up feeding on scraps.

Yep...there was one passage of play and Jesus had opened a gap between himself and the midfielder and the defender he had the run on

Gundogan decided not to give him the ball, I find that quite telling. Like when a player doesn't trust another

Jesus imo would have been in for a shot at the very least

 

[Dr Jacoby]

1 minute of injury time.

 

[Dax777]

Because if we score with one of our chances before they do then usually we run away with it.

But we are better when teams play an open game

 

[hertsblue]

Usual City. 14 shots, 1 on target. As well as any future medical for new players, can we see if they can hit the target from a free shot in the box also. Plus 12 corners, all wasted again

 

[citymad]

Not looking good for us against Madrid. They will be in confident mood after watching this. Can’t wait for the season to be over now.

 

[IcriedwhenTueartleft]

nobody has got on the end of a cross, nobody...
