[Mr HJ]

Looking at Arteta's comments after the game - the man will never learn - they had 3, yes 3 shots on target in a home game yet he thinks they were so much better than us. Let him live in this illusion because from what I just watched we were at about 70% and them at 100% were not so hot, they will not win the league. Can't believe I used to like him!

Micah Richards
Former Man City defender on Sky Sports
That is the poorest I have seen Manchester City on the ball for a long time.
clown.......considering we were coming into the last week 2 defeats on the bounce , we're on the right track with moosh and cherki to come back

Micah richards knows absolutely fuck all about football, he is nothing more than comic relief and a sky sports stooge, he offers no clever insight or reasoned arguments.

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.

You still on the matchday forum by any chance??
Cheer up ffs.
We got battered at the Emirates last year.
1-1 us a vast improvement.

As much as I would prefer more possession etc, to give Arsenal 67% possession and hold them to less than 1 xG is pretty good going for the defence.

Can fault a few things in the game, but the effort & commitment was there

 

[blue by birth]

i've seen better hold up play at the kindergarten level

Yeah right..I'm sure you can do much better than him eh

 

[Silvatoure21]

Have you watched Liverpool this season?

Yeah. I have seen anything from Liverpool that makes me say “wow”. Squeaking out last second wins and blowing leads in every game is not what I would call dominant

 

[dadnlad]

I said to my lad at half-time, one of the weirdest halves I’ve seen under Pep, basically Pulis’ Stoke with Crouch upfront. Nothing changed much in the 2nd half and Arsenal did the same, lobbing the ball over the top for a runner.

Who says we can’t adapt, and if we hadn’t only had a couple of days rest, taking off the knackered legs, we may have gone on to win that.

Disappointing for the late goal, but would’ve taken that before the game.

i guess last season you never saw every goal we conceeded everyone shouting for change whats saying doing it once is ok keep doing it is a sign of madness

 

[mancboy]

maybe you are right ,but 7 points out of 5 games is not good and haven´t seen much that this season will be much better than last one. Today didn´t insist much positivity for me also ,maybe for others it does ,not for me :(

I just dont have the time or the crayons to explain how wrong this is.

 

[bobbyowenquiff]

Threw 3pts BUT will settle for a point everyday of the there . Dont mind a steely backs to the wall performance reminds me of the Mancini era . Well done both peps for coming up with another system and we can only do that with someone of Donnarummas stature in goal . Nice run of fixtures now to get some proper points on the board .
Up the blues CTID

Superb defensively. Have not seen that for some time.

 

[Longballutd]

Happy enough with a draw away. Taking off Foden and Erling was a bad move

100% - Rodri and Bernardo gave it away 20 times between them. What are they thinking...

You can't defend a 1-0 lead for 75 minutes.

We were asking for trouble.

We did though!

It's the stoppage time that is the fucking problem.

3 minutes for the fucking Dippers yesterday.

7 minutes for the Arse.

Those 3 red shites are refereed completely different to everyone else!

Nunes and Savinho should not be coming on in a game of this magnitude.

Nunes slipped as usual just after coming on.

Savinho, didn't work nowhere near hard enough in the role he was brought on to do!

Some excellent performances in a must not lose game. Pity Haaland went off, if it was tactical then it was a mistake imo.

 

[daveiw01]

Said this in the match thread, I knew it wasn’t allowed. Let’s see if they get done for it.

Shurely you're not suggesting that arsenal would stoop low enough to cheat? Such an upstanding, law abiding club?

 

[bridgeno1]

Some of these so called pundits…
Arsenal were pretty poor despite having a lot of the ball. They have fuck all up top. That CF who they paid a mint for is a championship player.
We switched off, mainly due to our back 4 being disrupted. Ake had a mare and just looks so off the pace. Maybe not fit? Stones is clearly not fit! Khusanov was outstanding and was a big loss. Nunes is just shit… Another comedy performance from him, falling on his arse continually.
A result that was probably fair, Arsenal are not a threat… We will eat them next time round.

I think we were poor because City played so well. Defensively City were excellent. Most teams are going to go to the Emirates and leave with nothing. Dippers have gotten 1 point in 3 years here. As a non-City fan I thought your team showed togetherness and fight plus a lot of grit. You can't go and smash teams left right and centre every week. Pretty sure the City side that last won the league lost at the Emirates btw. That point could be massive for City (or Arsenal) at the end of the season.

 

[The Light Was Yellow Sir]

Stones and Ake on and we revert to the ‘high line’ in the 93rd minute and for the only time in the game and, surprisingly enough, they scored from it.
Whilst Pep might have made a few odd looking decisions that draw is down to the centre halves.

 

[manimanc]

hey at least we didn't lose! happy clappers will be out in droves carrying pep on their shoulders holding the 9th place trophy

Why don't you fuck off and support someone else you absolute bellend.
You don't get what being a city fan is about, nowhere near bruv.
You obviously don't see the bigger picture.
You bring nothing to the forum apart from negativity and shite posts.
Go and support someone else, you aren't needed mate.

 

[RobinHood]

Is it because of there being more teams in the champions league that games are played on Thursday? I’ll take that result given the short rest. They played their hearts out and being that it’s only September I can’t be too upset about taking a point away. Look at how Arsenal celebrated a draw lol Come talk to me again in February and March.

Good points.

 

[lightning Rodri]

Feels like a defeat but well played boys

No it doesn't, if anything it tells us we'll be up there come the end of season

 

[citymad]

lol you’re relentless! We’re exceeding my expectations for this season already!

 

[Vienna_70]

Another thing I noticed, but forgot to mention, gargoyle one was desperate in everything he said, for us to lose.
