Match Thread | Arsenal vs Man City (08/10/23)

[Beanhead]

Also, I would be seething if the Kova second yellow was against us.. oh well Wolves did it to us last weekend although that was brushed over.. so eat shit!

 

[Jesus H Gabz]

Haaland has been the only bright spot of that half, Less said about Kova the better and Ruben has been pretty sloppy.

Not a good mix Rueben & Nathan when you want one of them to bring the ball out, we really miss Stones for that, but both will be in the trenches in the 103rd minute should Arse get a corner/free kick

 

[Nascent Blues]

Genuinely feel for the neutral fans who who watched that across the world

 

[Keeper!]

Eh? he's been awful,minimal aggression and very little movement.

Dias looks unfit to me,not his usual self at all.

Dias is way off the pace this season

 

[Chak19]

Kovacic absolutely has to come off. His first challenge was borderline red and I always feel it should be a yellow in those situations but a 0 tolerance policy afterwards which means for me that second challenge is him off, so stupid.

He looked good with Rodri, utter shambles without him.

 

[give it to gordon]

Theo Walcott with his Arsenal knickers firmly pulled up.

Nah if it was the other way round we would be saying it's a red card, which I think it normally would be

 

[117 M34]

I'd take kovacic off for Phillips but would be brilliant if he stayed on and scored the winner

 

[roy.or.r]

Margot Robbie has a nice arse not gonna lie.

 

[M Gaudino]

Most footballers aren’t intelligent, that’s the problem

his blood is up - thought he was a more disciplined player tbh.

the yellow that annoyed me was Silva - fucking nothing challenge with their player in his own half going backwards

 

[SkyBlueFlux]

Have our midfielders been taking mercury supplements or something?

 

[Infinite blue]

Bring Grealish on

 

[pudge]

I agree we haven't been great thus far this season but Arsenal is set up well and looking to hit us on the break. You have to be patient. It doesn't help when our midfield of Kovacic, Bernie, and Rico probably have one attacking bone in their bodies between them.

But for multiple games this season we've been the same.

Slow not only in getting the ball forward but actually on the ball. No zip, nobody demanding it, and when it is played between the lines Alvarez can't control it. Even Phil too.

We're not decisive. Whereas when they get it, and any other team, they're at us.

 

[BlueMooner87]

We shouldn’t be taking Lewis off but I think we all agree Kova needs to be yanked.

I'd see alvarez playing where Lewis is and put doku vs zin

 

[Keeper!]

I think Gvardiol has also been good. I’m surprised nobody has. mentioned Haaland’s hold up play which has been excellent.

Class act, some player

 

[wolviedinho]

Theo Walcott with his Arsenal knickers firmly pulled up.

He is another shit biased pundit. The level is shocking low these days unfortunately.

1. Do you support a team in red? Check

2. Can you be as biased as possible? You know for the bantz?

Yes? Welcome to sly.

 

[Stoned Rose]

Theo Walcott looks like he’s trying to sell you a second hand Audi bless him.

He looks more like a newly qualified IT teacher who thinks all the Year 7s fancy him.

 

[chris85mcfc]

Game is there for the winning, think Grealish and Doku could both play key parts in the last 20 minutes.

 

[Bluemoon dan]

If Kovacic stays on it has all the hallmarks of when Mancini refused to take Balloteli off at the Emirates that time.

 

[Chak19]

Eh? he's been awful,minimal aggression and very little movement.

Dias looks unfit to me,not his usual self at all.

He always starts slowly then turns it on later in the season.

Genuinely feel for the neutral fans who who watched that across the world

I’m watching in the pub and behind us are some obnoxious Blackburn fans who spent the entire first half shouting stuff like “City are cheats”.

Inbred cunts.
