Match Thread | Arsenal vs. Manchester City (14/03/26) EFL Cup Final

[TFC]

God I fucking hate the way these cunts approach the game

 

[Dax777]

They're targeting Ake

Shocking

 

[gray740]

Anti-football cunts

 

[BluestBlue]

2 man midfield has NEVER WORKED. Bernardo and Rodri is not a midfield pep never learns either drop a forward or play Nico G instead of Bernardo

 

[dubblue]

This is dire

 

[super_city_si]

We need a midfield.

 

[kippaxchris]

Pep shouting at the players already not realising its his fault it looks like this. The set up & tactics are a shambles.

 

[Blue-Ghana]

Doku and Semanyo should switch flanks sometimes. Semanyo loses his goal-scoring ability on the right, and he is playing far too wide to be effective

 

[citymad]

Just fuck off tildsley can you say anything positive about us?

 

[dave_blue12]

Semenyo serves no purpose in a game like this.

 

[argyle]

We need a midfield.

Will hopefully be getting a new one in the summer.

 

[Blu1]

14 mins in & im confident to say midfield is not working. Great having 4 up top but you need a midfield to pass it them.

Poor set up yet again

 

[oldhamblue]

This has the hallmark of Madrid away. Too attacking a line up with the midfield not able to cope

 

[Tricky_Trev]

Put simply, they look like a team that is coached better than us. And that should be setting off alarm bells within the club. Pep is on a drastic decline. Arsenal’s positioning all over the pitch is near perfect. They don’t give an inch. In contrast, we just look quite basic and easy to play against.

 

[Blueknows]

Pep seriously thought lets reroll the Madrid tactics and see how it goes.

I know (shakes head in disbelief)

 

[wolviedinho]

It’s like the roles have reversed in this tie.

Unreal.

Seems to be most games this season

 

[dannyboiblue]

Bobbins at the minute we dont have a clue when we get the ball

 

[Eccles Blue]

Give the ball to 3 separate people for a throw in. If that isn’t time wasting I don’t know what is!!!!

 

[OrigamiNinja]

This is abysmal again. WTF do we do in training all week?
