Arsenal (A) - PL Post Match Thread

[levets]

He was utter gash

OTT pal. We didn’t get the ball anywhere near him. The only time he was involved was when he dropped off looking for the ball. He should have had an assist, only for Ake to miss a sitter. The so called ball players were gash… Foden, Alvarez, Bernardo & Kovacic were all well below par.
We set up to play a containing, risk averse game today, rather than our normal attacking, probing game. We handed them the initiative in the last 15 minutes as it was clear, Pep was holding out for a draw. Once again, Arsenal get a late lucky deflection against us, but it was self destruction.

Still don’t know why the ref blew early for the foul on Rico instead of playing on.

Irrelevant as Rico handled it in the follow-up.

absolute terrible performance. I'm so done with this team now. I started supporting before champions league 2021 final because I thought this was a winning team. yeah we lost but I gave them another chance and last season was nice but this isn't the team I thought I was supporting.

Seems like they've lost desire since last season. Pep is getting outdone by other managers too, but it happens, some managers like Mourinho have their moments and the game moves on.

Tottenham is looking like a pretty good team to support right now.

I'll see how we go between now and Christmas but if things haven't improved by then, then I'm not wasting my time.

WTF?

Are you a Yank?

The blue winning machine has hit the buffers.

Might aswell be united -:)

Give your head a wobble Pep. I think you’re amazing but that’s on you. Poor management, selection, subs have cost us. Hate calling out Pep but today he’s lost it.

Nah i don't agree.
We played that game without Rodri and Kev and haven't replaced Gundo.
So a team that used to pick itself has struggled as the remaining players and new signings haven't stepped up as of yet.

It's early days and no-one should be worried or start panicking at the moment.

I think Dias is the worse passer of a ball in the team and starts to flap when getting closed down.
But i can't blame this on him as the team was awful throughout.
2 OGs in a week. Lady luck seems to be deserting us at the moment.
Big games coming up and we need to get back on track.
Beating the rags will make up for this poor showing

 

[El Ingeniero de Noruega]

Poor tactics today from Pep. Also, some might call me a flapper or whatever, but I don't think we have come close to replacing Gundo.

I don't think we have come close to replacing David Silva

 

[TueartsCossackSpray]

Hilarious, the whole of the commentary team were in tears of emotion. I was almost waiting for the stage to be erected on the pitch and the red/white tiker tape.

 

[Stoned Rose]

Kovacic feels like a player who is great when we are cruising and winning, but put him into a tight tough game and he’s gone missing.

Also felt today we really didn’t have our usual shape. We had no width at all until doku came on and even then we never really got at them.

I got shot down in flames in the transfer forum when I told you all he’s a lazy **** and a very fair weather player.

Not fit to wipe the arse of the likes of Gundogan or David Silva.

No sorry he has to get involved far more, said in the match thread, he is starting to get bullied, that can't happen.

Hope the blues don't get caught up in the open top bus parade again

 

[Nellies left peg]

Kovacic doesn’t look the same player without Rodders holding his hand

Heheh, you'll catch a few with that!

 

[Goldust]

I think it’s clear to day that the transfer market was far too reactive than pro active.

I wouldn't want to be city next time Rodri sits down for contract negotiations.

once he and kev are out the team we look bag average

 

[Dirty Harry]

If that doesn’t motivate us from now on, then I’m not sure what will, everything about it was very poor, and was that White being a twat again at the end ?

 

[mancityscot]

Thoroughly deserved result. The team was an absolute mess today.

Is your middle name malg?

 

[oakiecokie]

Bad day at the office I`m afraid and we just didn`t hurt them at all.
I`ve just read that this was the least shots any team of Peps has had since 2010. Another record for Pep. ;)

These posts (like the one in the pre-match thread from someone earlier) aren't funny.

The Boys in Blue didn’t give in. They fought to the end. Hard lines City it wasn’t to be today. But you went down fighting. On the plus side Rodri’s back next time, John Boy’s back and as long as Wally Waistcoat leaves him on the bench we’ll be fine.
Thank you City, thank you lads, thank you fans you did us proud.

THE BEST TEAM IN THE LAND AND ALL THE WORLD.

:-)

Hahaha, even I tried my best in the match day thread but today we were poor, so many bad passes, players going missing etc. Let’s hope when they all return after the international break, all injury free, they pull their socks up and be ready for the games ahead. COYB
