Two angles, both corner flags.One thing's for sure... Donnarumma will find out exactly how good he is today!
Arsenal will no doubt attempt to bombard us from all angles in this game .....
These days our defence usually opens up like a lady of the nights legs in games such as this !
That’s the sort of ridiculous and unrealistic optimism we need !! Every single game I tip City to win regardless of who they’re playing or at home or away. Me being a fucking idiot helps of course.Hope the lads fetch their winners medals along for these shit cunts to have a look at.
5-0 City
Just need to concentrate on ourselves this season and not worry about the title or Liverpool.We can lose and still recover in the 32 games to come - obviously much better if we don't go 9 points behind.
don't think Pep and his team will share your modest ambitions - with all our players fit we are the best team in the league no question.Just need to concentrate on ourselves this season and not worry about the title or Liverpool.
There have been huge changes in playing staff, coaching staff, DoF, goalkeepers, loads of key players coming back from long injuries or serial injury records or are currently injured, we had next to no pre-season… and it’s all a lot to contend with in one go.
We were a distant third last season and I reckon should just focus on having a big improvement on our own 71 points total from last season and cement a CL place.
Do that, and we’ve done our job this season for me.
Anything else that comes on top of that is a bonus.
I reckon you told the captain something like this on the high seas when the rogue wave was approaching. Still, admirable optimism.The vultures are circling ready to pick the carcass of our club. I hope we go out there,win well and remind everybody just who we are.
To be fair he’s not the only player passing sideways and backwardsView attachment 170101
I found this statistic absolutely mindblowing. Only 17.4% of his passes go forward, for a guy who plays as an attacking midfielder or on the right wing that is abysmal!

When did I say we're not in a transition? I'm not disputing that at all, but I'm seeing the word banded about too much and used as an excuse for downright shit performances - we still have some of the best players in the world in their respective positions along with a generational manager, I'm just not having that there's no expectation to win games still.If it's not a transaction then wtf is it?. We've changed half our squad in the last 6 month, you're absolutely batshit crazy if u think it clicks immediately this shit takes time. Again! we're 4/5 games in stop with the Leeds & Sunderland bollocks, it's a 38 game season those two will be 30pts plus behind us if not relegated.
When we lose today (I say this hoping i eat my words, obviously) it will be a bad start but then we have 5 very winnable fixtures to come before a home tie against LiVARpool, nothing is won or lost in September.
Pressure wise I'm talking today, all the pressure is on Arsenal & Arteta, City are 3/1 to win we've been written off.

Just being realistic.I love your positive posts.
3 points behind Arsenal.Just need to concentrate on ourselves this season and not worry about the title or Liverpool.

That's by design, nothing wrong here. Why? Because a midfield including both Reijnders and Foden/Cherki is a bit lightweight defensively wise. To have Foden at 10 without serious defensive costs, we need to drop Reijnders or have a defensively minded midfielder on the right, one whose main role is to keep the ball rolling instead of creating or attacking. Many on here don't understand what Bernardo's role is and jump to conclusions.
