Premier League Games 9/10 Dec '23

[paulchapo]

Coz luckily for him it was a goal kick and he’s kicked it towards villas keeper/ goal -still a twat though

Rodri was booked for doing the same.

 

[waspish]

Villa have had 2/3 good opportunities on the break need to do better

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

Id imagune if we had full strenght it would have been similar. We are so far below full strenght

It’s nearly KDB o’clock.

We still have a Gundogan shaped hole to fill too. Hopefully Kovacic or Nunes grasp that soon.

 

[meeesh]

If you think that’s true, rather than he kicked it away hard in temper then I am surprised

Oh he kicked it hard alright but not away from where the next play was gonna start from, like I said luckily for him

 

[Blueknows]

Stupid fk to give away

 

[super_city_si]

Half ??

Doku, grealish, de bruyne, rodri, ake. throw in kovacic and nunes who would have started but werent ready.

 

[meeesh]

Rodri was booked for doing the same.

Yea, but there’s a difference remember

 

[SamBlue]

Exactly. You cant compare playing against a full strength arsenal side to playing a team missing half their starters.

Plus Pep who is on City 7.0 beta version, moving from waterfall to prototyping cycle. Even he doesn't know what the final version will look like Mar-May '24.

 

[Newman Noggs]

Long 35 minutes ahead for Villa

 

[super_city_si]

It’s nearly KDB o’clock.

We still have a Gundogan shaped hole to fill too. Hopefully Kovacic or Nunes grasp that soon.

Just being able to bring alavrez off the bench for the last 25 /30 will make a huge difference to the dynamic.

 

[Bluemoon115]

Every 50/50 going these cunts way.

 

[Norbert D]

Ref giving every fifty fifty to arse, SLY not showing anything that portrays Arsenal in a negative light.

 

[kippaxwarrior]

It's a piss take how long Martinez takes kicking a ball out

 

[Wretched Vengeance]

I know a lot of keepers push their luck, but Martinez takes the piss kicking out of hand from out of his area.

 

[super_city_si]

Plus Pep who is on City 7.0 beta version, moving from waterfall to prototyping cycle. Even he doesn't know what the final version will look like Mar-May '24.

Yeah, it kind of has the feel he has a new way and the players are either missing and / or havent quite grasped it yet. When it clicks game on.

 

[Bald fraud]

Villa blowing out their arses.

Had their cup final midweek

 

[Trickyblues]

Seems like arsenal players are allowed to foul and get away with it

 

[bluemoon32]

Doku, grealish, de bruyne, rodri, ake. throw in kovacic and nunes who would have started but werent ready.

Doku and Grealish both wouldnt have started, Ake isnt a guaranteed starter & Kovacic & Nunes wouldnt have made any difference.
I agree with your general point though, we were under strength.

 

[RayCTID]

I'll take a draw here. Injury time is going to kill Villa

 

[Crooked_rain]

If it's like this at 90 minutes, do we reckon Arsenal will be getting their token 11 minutes added time and then play on anyway until they score?
