Match Thread | Arsenal vs. Man City (02/02/25)

[Maine Shark]

Maybe we’re missing the De Bruyne creativity on the pitch.

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

That was just a shit half of football all round. Really dull barring the mistakes.

Just wish Nunes had more determination. He’s got the attributes, just not the mentality or heart to be a top player.

 

[The Norfolk Blue]

We have to find ways to get Haaland into the game, 4 touches (if that) is unforgivable really … at least we’ve looked dangerous from corners for a change with Marmoush’s deliveries.

Can we not target Timber now he’s on a yellow?

 

[samuelyeboah]

He’s barely been passed to

He should consider moving a bit and stop hiding behind the defender then

 

[Kippax77]

Think we’ve been the better team just 2 complete and utter fuckups aside.

But but Neville says we've only been good for the last 3 minutes.
Between you and me I think the Palace result has boiled his piss

 

[r.soleofsalford]

Marmoush on the left wing isn’t working.

 

[CambridgeExileBlue]

Yeah
He is in mind games with Gabriel. Never there where we need him

3 touches for halftime

Needs to move more and get involved in the game.

 

[Nas_City]

Really missing Doku to dribble at their fullbacks.

 

[HypnoticBlue]

Often goes missing v the best defences unfortunately but not helped by our severe lack of creativity

Also not helped by the fact that they manhandle him anytime the ball goes in his direction, that’s a foul if you wear red.

 

[mancity2012_eamo]

Also unlucky to not be 2-1 up.

At least we're creating the odd chance, Arsenal haven't created anything.

We should have been 2-0 down though.
That miss after Ortega fucked up was incredible.

 

[Bluemoonie92]

Need to be braver second half. Their chances have come from our mistakes at the back. When we pass with some sort of purpose we look threatening

 

[69FACUPfinal]

One long ball just fucking try it !!!! Ffs

The one time he tried it did a Pickford and went straight into touch.

 

[Bridgewater]

We had bozo moment recently, it got better after that

 

[Solatron]

There goalie made two world class saves. We've been the better sides but as usual gift the opponents soft goals!

 

[samuelyeboah]

Oh and marmoush has been terrible

 

[meeesh]

Been better side for that last 30 just need a bastard goal and their arses will go

 

[rct311]

No midweek game and only fa cup next week. Seems strange to rest de bruyne for the second half here. Get him on

 

[Blu1]

Why can’t pep just set us up to not lose rather than this kamikaze style.

I can see him put Gundy & Kev on soon which sadly I think will just cause us more issues

 

[Cobra]

Perhaps Pep could tell Foden that he doesn’t have to pass the ball back to where it came from every single time he gets it?

 

[VOOMER]

I’m fairly confident Ederson and Ortega would have saved Kovacic’s last shot.

Agreed, the problem is Ortega is average with his feet and not as good as Eddie as a keeper. Plus he has a impressionist defence in front of him.
