[theres only one carlito]

Can’t fault that, effort was superb, game plan was correct and after only two days rest a fukin epic effort. We look solid and dangerous, I like that. Well played lads. Deserved more.

Nico is still to far off the pace to be playing for me. He is too slow in the thought process and his legs are slower. He gives that away and they counter.

 

[give it to gordon]

We broke our lines once :(

Still we will learn and oddly i enjoyed that. Good to see City trying something difference, time wasting etc lol.

 

[M Gaudino]

is it a coincidence two of our old slow defenders came on and we got done?

 

[chesterbells]

Second half bad tactics,bad subs and timing.
Ake and Stones are players that you can't count on them any more.
We lost 2 point today.
We don't have deep squad, what we have is couple injured prone players that are not good for this level and when they play our level drops.

Far too negative a take that, imho.

I feel like we would have held on if Khusanov had stayed on. It's hard when so much of the defence is different at the end compared to the beginning. But ultimately, 3 games in a row for the whole team took its toll. Still a point away at Arsenal is a good result in anyone's books.

It is, but a strange performance for me. I'd have taken a point at the start but having took an early lead I think we have enough up front to win it if we play our usual game. Given the timing of the goal we effectively had to hang on for the entire 90 minutes and that's a big ask for a team not used to playing that way.

 

[SiMCFC]

Unlucky. Just cant play that high line when no Khusanov, there's nobody else quick enough. Why we were pushing forward at that point I dont know but shows we can mix it up, sort of performance that we may need in Champs League.

 

[Haaland94]

If Gigi is on his line no way Martinelli scores. the back line fell asleep aswell. Draw is ok, we move on

Gigi wanted to make the angle difficult for him, as he thought it's going to be 1v1,makes sense. Josko caught him, though, so he found himself in no mans land. Not his fault, though. Nathan played him onside :/.

 

[Tarzan Pancake]

I said before the match that a point would be great. I'm more than happy with the last three games. This team will get better.

 

[CC1]

2 points dropped after switching off at a crucial time … Parking The Bus isn’t us and I never want to see it again.

Taking Big Erl off was unforgivable when he was our only outlet.

Great point against a team that spent a fortune in summer; had a full pre-season & no injuries

Well done Pep & City

 

[Sky Blue]

Only positive is the goal was top quality. Could be wrong but think it stemmed from Savi not keeping ball. I was screaming for him to go into corner but he came inside.

Doing my head him when he came on. Lack of effort

 

[Sibierskii]

I refuse to celebrate a draw. Who is responsible for the signings in the last 2-3 years? These players cant keep possesion or press like they should. Might aswell let Pep go if anti-football is the way forward for this team, Pep is not that coach. Can´t watch this that kind of football going forward and it didn´t even get the 3 points after all. Never thoguht il see us playing like this ,when Pep is still around.

Harsh. Very harsh.

 

[kupest]

Donnarumma massive up till the goal. Should have been positioned better but I guess these moments happen. Everyone was good did their part. We almost pulled it off. A point most dint expect.

 

[TueartsCossackSpray]

Parking the bus isn’t for us.

It is when we played on a Thursday. Masterclass bar one defensive fuck up from 2 subs who forgot the fukcing tactics of our defence strategy.

 

[SWP's back]

Would of took a point before the game.Gutted to
lose all three so bloody late.Still ones better than
nowt.View attachment 170145

All three? Did Arsenal score after the final whistle when I’d switched off.

 

[Leroy Leroy Leroy]

That would have been so so satisfying but still pleased with a point
Big 2 points dropped from them

 

[thyer64]

Gvardiol maybe should've taken the red and taken that shit martinelli out. **** always scores against us

 

[kanovic]

Another shite performance, couldn’t keep the ball at all.

Why hold a high line so late on and then Donnarumma doing his Ederson impression stood in no man’s land inviting an easy lob.

Pissing away the win shows how we’ll be nowhere near in the title race. Liverpool have it boxed off already. Grim.

Lmaooo what a shit attitude. You would have taken a point before the match lol.. it was a good performance, players put everything they had. Proud of the boys.

 

[Gumzy97]

Well done , very good defensive display, Donnarumma has been immense, our whole defence has stopped the mistakes. Best signing this summer.

 

[citymad]

That goal is on Savinho and Donnarumma's mistakes!

But he was still candidate for Man of the match. Bar that mistake he was superb.

 

[stan bowles]

Did what we had to do tactically. Everyone worked hard and 2 days extra rest may have been the difference in us drawing rather than winning. Taking off Khusanov, Foden and Haaland weakened us even if they had to come off for injury/fatigue reasons. Doku was amazing.
A draw was a positive result at that place.
