Kev, Bernie and mahrez all dropping stinkers

 

[Goater=Legend]

Poor in midfield and apart from Sterling the other front line isnt doing enough.

Was always going to be a tough game but got to dig in

 

[Dax777]

To be fair we could be 3-0 down.

3-1. We should have started out ahead. Albeit, they've been better.

Let's hope we warm up to the challenge. Arsenal is playing us straight up. Hassling us and attacking us. We can't ask for anything else from an opposition. We've just not been good moving the ball and making runs on offense.

 

[Big$pendingPeppers]

who would have thought we would be lucky going into half time 1-0 down.

Martinelli is going to be some player.

I know this because I sh.. myself whenever he runs at our defence.

 

[01cravend]

You wants Palmer against this arsenal team?? Lmaooo I’m done for today with this forum wow. Palmer lmaoooo can’t make this crap up

You putting Arsenal on some pedestal is more Lmaooo worthy.

 

[Josh_D]

I’d take Cancelo on the left now if he could pull out an assist like he was doing weeks back. If they can’t defend today then bloody attack them. Haven’t seen the possession game the lads are supposed to be good at. Too many misplaced passes and lost balls

 

[jollylescott]

I know Pep’s not going to change it up, but I’d even be tempted to bring Palmer on. He makes things happen and he’s fresh.

Regroup
Walker for his pace need to come in for ake, cancelo who is not having good good either but can cope Saka
Let the youngers comein mahrez/sterling/jesus are not at their best today.
I will take draw

 

[MadchesterCity]

Decent shout

Would be harsh on Ake and “Mahrez, Sterling or Jesus” but we need Walker vs Saka and control in midfield with Cancelo and Gundogan more central

 

[ws01]

This is a wind up right?

No.

 

[kun]

jesus h. take the tin foil hat off. time was up and he let us have the free kick which was headed away and he blew up. its perfectly fine

Didn't give Saka the stone wall booking for stopping our last attack of the half though

 

[Trevor Morley's Tache]

jesus h. take the tin foil hat off. time was up and he let us have the free kick which was headed away and he blew up. its perfectly fine

I thought he blew closer to 2 minutes when 3 had been signalled?

 

[youngbob]

People say Grealish adds nothing to our team and then we struggle to put 2 passes together as soon as he gets left out.

 

[LongsightM13]

This has been in the post tbf, we have been pretty shite since half time in the Leicester game. Can’t say a single one of them has played well.
We have only come from behind to win when losing at Ht in the Premier League once in 100 games or so

 

[Tb1981]

Today could be the day for Grealish
Need to move forward with the ball Kev has been atrocious

 

[Hayley Croppers chopper]

how many more times we got to see the Arsenal stand in manager and his assistant?

 

[Luke The Blue]

bernardo must be tired, terrible half from him. hope we can salvage something out of this

At least he's getting back when the team isn't playing well.

De Bruyne and Mahrez been shit.

 

[mat]

Arsenal getting little credit.

The city are shit narrative is unfair on them.

 

[bondsman]

Frankly glad to have got to half-time with the score as it is. Leaves us with a chance. But we've got to be much sharper than we are. Pep will have obviously spotted that the main danger is Saka against Ake, although not quite sure what he can do about it.

Cancelo over left Walker on? Midfield work rate more of the issue for me though. KDB and Mahrez passengers. Gabby struggling as well.

 

[dad1971]

Arsenal doing to us what we usually do to all other teams. Not nice to be on the receiving end.
Have to increase the intensity and start controlling the game at our pace in the second half.
