Arsenal (H) | Post-Match Thread

This team with a number 9 like Kane or Lewandowski - we'd start putting 10+ past these teams!

Maybe, but if Gabby continues like this, a child could put his crosses in.

Arsenal could do worse than put in a bid for the Vincent Kompany statue as it's more mobile than their back 4.

Great to see so any Arsenal fans after the game enjoying our city

 

[Trevor Morley's Tache]

The rotation of our front line absolutely bamboozled the Arsenal defenders today. They didn't have a clue who they were supposed to be marking. It was a great performance.

Who is it cmon ffs

I am not so concerned about Berni, but I think Jesus's movement is so important to the whole system.

You should be

Don't think I've seen s worse Arsenal side at the Etihad. Even with 11 men they were fucking terrible

 

[sky tot]

Blue boys were good today .

Fantastic performance and needed following the week we just had

I am sure I saw Deliveroo driver dropping a pizza off for Ederson second half

Could be wrong though it could have been Dominos

I saw the BooHoo Man deliver a valley of tears with a side order of weeping and gnashing of teeth.

We are a better team with Silva in midfield rather than KDB, it’s a conundrum but it’s the truth.

Sorry pal, don’t agree.

 

[Gundog’s Gundog]

Bernardo had a marvellous game, he grabbed hold of it early on and drove us forward. Thought he just edged out Gundog and Torres

That will have disappointed you a tad I guess.

Sorry pal, don’t agree.

Based on? Look at our midfield in our unbeaten run last year, look at our midfield last two games. You have to ask if a certain midfield wins so often then how can you argue against them. I said last year that KDB getting injured then Sergio turned out to be the biggest slice of luck we will see.

And Sergio is my all time favourite player and KDB is the best in the world at what he does.

It 'feels' true. But it isn't.

Well we’re not let’s be honest. KDB has fear factor and can create chances out of nothing like no other player can. Only thing Bernardo has on Kev is work rate

 

[Bluefen]

Arsenal reminded me of the Liverpool side under Roy Hodgson (the game when Sheikh Mansour attended) - they looked utter clueless other than the first 10 mins

 

[chesterbells]

Only just logged in, so it may be already mentioned, but just seen we’re first on MOTD later. Which is a pleasant surprise :-)

 

[Lavinda Past]

Think we’ll come good when we get our two best players back, no need to panic yet.

Scott Carson and Nathan Ake?

You are making the presumption that I wouldn’t play KDB, I have stated our best results are with Silva and gundogan. Easy to prove otherwise just show me the alternatives that played in our league winning run and the last 2 games. Otherwise you are just giving individual player preference in a team game.
