Match Thread | Man City vs. Arsenal (22/09/24)

[Eric Hitchmough]

Got to sacrifice a defender here

 

[Trevor Morley's Tache]

Yup, think I might go out and enjoy the sunshine

32 degrees outside. It's tempting.

 

[kaz7]

Be three mins added time , he is blind to their shithousing

 

[sh249]

They‘ve wasted around 5 minutes already. I‘m sure it will all be added on.

 

[gray740]

Who`s next on fall to floor bingo

 

[SamTheGuru]

I mean this time wasting is not even subtle. The premier leagues "Top referee".

That was football's equivalent of a time out.

Goalkeeper David Raya goes down for treatment on a non-existent injury, the entire Arsenal team immediately run to Mikel Arteta for instruction, with Manchester City's players going to Pep Guardiola for the same.

Raya has recovered and play has restarted.

 

[RayCTID]

It will back fire on Arsenal in the long run even if they get the win

Got to sacrifice a defender here

Seems a bit harsh?

 

[Mancity1980]

If Arsenal hold out in this half for all 3 points the gunners online are going to unbearable this week.

 

[Trevor Morley's Tache]

They are playing pretty much perfectly with 10 men at The Etihad when already leading?

OliVAR is certainly helping them out here.

 

[IcriedwhenTueartleft]

Starting to lose a bit of hope here, not doing nearly enough against 10 men

 

[bluemoon32]

They are playing pretty much perfectly with 10 men at The Etihad when already leading?

Yep, not their fault we're playing badly

 

[M Gaudino]

why were they allowed to sub then when he restarted it the keepers arms

 

[GaudinoMotors]

Ain't scoring.

 

[El Ingeniero de Noruega]

I miss Silva. No creativity in rhis team. Left-right-left backwards……no penetration no nothing.

 

[EdersonsSmiley]

Why are Dias and Walker the ones on the ball 90% of the time. Get Gvardiol or Kovacic or Gundogan on the ball FFS

 

[Claytop]

You could have wrote how this second half was going to pan out to the letter.

 

[Alexia_Ko]

This is shambolic timewasting

 

[Erling9]

we could play with 20 and not score
