Match Thread | Man City vs Arsenal FACup (27/01/23)

[Zin 'messiah' Zimmer]

Bernardo changes this for Kev, he’ll break the lines with his control; hate seeing him transitioned out like this, it’s like we’re being appeased by making him bit part before the sale…

He’s wanted out for 2 seasons but never dropped his levels, ridiculous if I’m honest

 

[Goater=Legend]

Don't expect much from this midfield anymore, they don't have the legs to get up and down the pitch, the ball gets played up to Haaland and theres nobody around to pick up the ball. Defence has been fine though.

If Odegaard was on the pitch, the game would be a different story.

 

[Semper aggressus]

Only one side making a statement here.
The drop off from last season is a mystery.
We've lost our identity.

We need a few hungry, pacy, young players; two of them wingers and one a left back.

 

[Thaksins Love Child]

Stones a waste of time

Christ

 

[BuryBlue1977]

I like John but wouldn't be against moving him on in the summer.. Yo-Yos in and out the injury room, always seems to be available for England though

 

[The slaughtered lamb]

None of you answered the question! Probably says it all.

Sorry, what was your question, get bored with all your shite?

 

[Mancity1980]

Dixon is a shit stirring sneering ****

I don’t care who he supported as a kid he is no city fan now.

 

[bluemoon32]

Rico's had a tough old time of it, looked really shaky and out of position a lot

 

[moomba]

Tough half, but we're still there. Arsenal impressive and we've struggled with the intensity. Game is there to be won though.

 

[bluethai]

Our midfield was so slow, took too many touches before release a ball forward.

 

[DMA's]

Something really is very wrong. The players body language is very telling many look absolutely miserable.

Haaland is an athletic freak but his link up play is severely lacking. Like playing with 10 men at times and we lose that control the false 9 gave us.

incredibly boring

 

[Zenmanc]

Lee Dixon is a ****

I've got the ESPN+ feed, what'd that totally Arsenal biased Karl Pilkington voice having twat say?

 

[domalino]

Sorry, what was your question, get bored with all your shite?

You replied to it, so obviously not that bored.

 

[wolviedinho]

The fall from the top is happening. Grin and bear it as that is what the rest have been waiting on. Hopefully we make some good signings in the summer and reboot.

Far too many dribblers now and not enough tidy playmakers. Overall the players are just not good enough.

 

[ayrshire_blue]

The teams performance puts our crowd to sleep.

Can take not winning trophies every year, can take fucking up in too many games, but find it more difficult to take months and months of zero energy, tepid, slow, flat performances. It's horrible to watch this.

 

[MarsLlama]

We really have the worst fans. 0-0 against a really good team in a pretty even match. Can we play better? Sure, but if you read this forum you would thing we are down 0-3 abd fighting for relegation. 70+ pages of pure moaning and pessimism...just anither week here

We play this shit almost every fucking week, stop acting like we're throwing our toys out the pram after one bad game, this is a seriously negative trend that's been going on for a long time.

 

[Newman Noggs]

I sense a goal from Mahrez coming on. We're a second half team as I know from having a season ticket in the South Stand.

 

[paulchapo]

He’s not a City fan. He’s said for years he isn’t. He’s even said tonight ‘…when I used to be a City fan’.

If he isn’t an Arsenal fan after playing 616 for them over 15 years there’d be something wrong with him.

Not really. I get he'd have an affinity with them but your team is your team.

 

[stan bowles]

He's been great for us for 6 years but if we are seriously offering Gundog a new contract then someone's seeing something I'm not. Legs have clearly gone.

 

[jimmygrimblesboots]

ITV commentary worse than bt

Mark Goosebag , Gooner , Wright , Gooner , Dixon Gooner , Keane Rag , that mute button worth its weight in gold :)
