Arsenal (H) - Post Game Thread

When your 2 most creative players don't play well, your up against it. And I really don't know what's happened to Doku, the lads turned into a bundle of shite! I'm not saying he's not one for the future, he's just not for today, Bobb would of been a much better option. Jesus should of seen red and half their team should of been on a yellow. It's these bent decisions that tilt these knife edge games. On the the whole we didn't deserve the win, but neither did the Goons. Only one winner today and that was the vile fucking vermin scum.

How can it possibly be a good point for them?

They were top of the league with it in their hand this morning, now they need the dippers to drop points.

Agreed.

Complete stupidity from Arsenal, That's the lack of know-how and what will lose them the title. They had an opportunity to come here and make a massive statement, Instead they turned up like Bolton Wanderers.
 
Only one team wanted to win that. We tried but Arsenal were superb defensively and we were void of any ideas and our finishing was poor. We have to sell Doku, he’s dreadful.

Prefer the 16/17 team to this one.

Worst team under Peps tenure.

I guess it’s nothing to with going so deep in last season fixtures. The tension and emotion to win The Treble. This season lots of injuries, too many games and a fairly poor transfer window. Waistcoat overplaying our players in meaningless international friendlies.
Take all of the above in context and we can understand why we may be a yard of pace and lacking the drive of previous seasons.

A yard?

He can't see the passes that made him a great, that move near the end on the left flank, Haaland was on the back post, the old KDB would have hit that first time with the outside of his foot to the big fella for a tap in

I'm being generous! He's always likely to miss some passes, I think it's his fitness that's affecting his ability to kick. Not ruling him out though.

Sorry Pep but we’ve become boring as fuck this season! Erling wasted currently, KDB creates literally nothing and it seems Pep has picked controlling over what has made us the greatest premier league team ever over the last few years. Our results on the big games have been shite as well

He does not have the tools to work with, we have lost a lot of quality and replaced them with lesser players for me
 
1 shot on target at home against any opponent, especially one that just parks the bus all game, when chasing a win in the title race is nothing but awful. Zero wins in 6 games this season against the top5 says it all about our performances this season. No surprise we lack quality in attack when we replace quality players like Mahrez, Gundogan & Palmer with Championship level players like Doku, Nunes & Bobb (who I like and think could be something one day). We have more or less not had one single really impressive performance all season. Thank god the other teams are not much better so we somehow can still be in a title race. Massive summer window needed to fix the huge issues our dreadful one last summer has caused.
 
Last year we played them off the park and this year we just about manage a draw. I’m really hoping the we can kick on from this now and win the remaining games.
 
Strange one that. It was a game both really needed to win but both (especially Arsenal) played not to lose. Surprised Arsenal didn't go for it a bit more against our weakened defence. We were a bit more adventurous but didn't really do enough to win. I thought taking Foden off was a strange choice under the circumstances.

Shame about Ake.

Still it's a point and hopefully the dippers slip up at some stage. Probably need them to slip up twice though which seems unlikely. Perhaps best to focus more on FA cup and CL whilst still not completely giving up on the league.

If you don't beat your title rivals you don't win the league.

That's failure against both Liverpool and Arsenal, teams we'd have blown away last year.

Pep can say the hunger is still there but it doesn't look like it at the moment. Very stale and boring football. There's a bit of lethargy in the club and fans at the moment.

Haven't been convinced we'd win the league all season but this is City so we hold hope knowing what we can do in the run in.

Gvardiol was absolutely superb, a modern fullback with technique to back it up. Really enjoyed his football today and that shows glimpses of what he's going to be like for us in future.

Thought Arsenal's tactics were strange, you'd think they'd go for it too knowing that anything but a win for either team gives Liverpool the ascendancy.

Onto the next game, hopefully Haaland from last season comes back soon.

I don’t think that’s fair. The hunger is there. We just don’t have last seasons performances it in the tank.
 
We were there for the taking today and Arsenal could not lay a hand on us and they parked the bus and defended for a point, City has hit the wall and injuries and loss of form to key players is hurting us.
But we dust ourselves down and go again in midweek and still plenty of games to play and you just never know.
