These lot just have absolutely no goal threat, 1 shot on target tonight. We really should be beating them in this state. Keown just said “restore the belief getting back to winning ways”… another draw.

Funny shit from Keown. They actually beat Sporting six days ago and it did fuck all for them against Bournemouth.

I heard it all and words fail me. He looked a bit defeated to me imo.
 
Early goal Sunday would be great to open up the game. I did not see anything tonight to fear from this lot. They did not threaten a poor Sporting team at all. I will be gobsmacked if we don’t do these Sunday

We don't play on paper though. And although we may beat them easy they are easily capable of beating us too. Arsenal may be low on confidence but they are no mugs.

What's that saying. Beware of a wounded animal? We should be cautious but confident, and i feel confident we'll win, but you never know, as they say...

Honestly couldn't care less what anyone says here. Just look at them against Sporting - they're absolutely garbage, it would be an embarrassment if we didn't properly destroy them. 2-0 minimum.
 
They set up to defend at home and got the 0-0 they needed against Sporting. It’s damned embarrassing to defend at home with one shot on target. They’ve forgotten how to score goals. Will they set up to defend for a 0-0 draw at the Etihad? Almost certainly. We have to crack the blockade then the game is ours. We have the players to do that. An early goal would be really nice for my sanity.

They will absolutely set up to not lose....a draw suits them. They'll have no interest in scoring, will time waste and roll about on the floor.

I fear that at times this season we've struggled against those who shut up shop....I think we'll find it hard to break through. I'm convinced it'll be 0-0 right up to 60-70 mins.

Please please prove me wrong City

Sorry for having confidence in my own team I guess. Some of you lot would apologise for winning.

Nothing wrong with having confidence at all but you showed an air of arrogance of that of a spoiled brat. Arsenal are still TOTL for a reason let's not forget, and although we are capable of thrashing them they are definitely capable of thrashing us too.

I don't know how old you are but are you old enough to remember Arsenal absolutely schooling us 4-0 at Maine Road in April 2001?

They were so good that day that i and several hundred blues stayed to clap them off the pitch. It's not as though we were bad, they totally outplayed us and scored all 4 goals in 1st half iirc.

As much as we have come to dislike Arsenal due to their expectant fans(like you; ) we should try and remain humble and magnanimous in defeat, and i think the majority of blues are who attended games throughout all the bad times of false dawns, shattered dreams and utter despair are still humble and magnanimous in defeat, or at least try to be because we simply cannot win every game and win every game by a cricket score.

One particular game at Maine Road(forgotten which) we were so fuckin' piss poor we got a corner and went mental as though we'd just scored. That was our way of amusing ourselves collectively back then because we were often too bobbins to get upset about: )
 
We know what Legohead is going to do , every man behind the ball and hope for a set piece , own goal or a dodgy sending off , now Madueke is injured they will probably pin their hopes on a 16 year old child who is still at school , thats how desperate they are. A draw on Sunday will not be season defining , after Sunday we can win the last six league games , if it goes to the last day the Goons will cave in
