Match Thread | Manchester City vs. Arsenal (19/04/26)

[TFC]

Titles are won and lost in moments, I really hope the lads make sure ours wasn't lost with something from the under 9's for fucks sake

 

[Blue_Lightsaber]

What does Trafford need to do to become #1 City Goalkeeper?

Change his name to James Etihad?!?!?!

Donnarumma just cannot do what we need

 

[iwasthere1968]

We have played ok.
Pissing about with the keeper too much & stupid playing around but generally ok.

Erl & semenyo have been lazy & piss poor. Both should come off now. We are playing with 10 players. Just 2 players on running can offer more

Unfortunately I have to agree

 

[heslops barnet]

Theres a reason why PSG fucked donna off hes shite with his feet totally the wrong keeper for us

Pep fuked Joe off due to his shit distribution, this fellas worse

 

[pbueno16]

Nerves with the ball at the back and thinking you have time in the middle to receive and turn need to stay in the dressing room. That's where they're going to score from.

 

[colorado blue]

Haaland and Semenyo both been poor. We need to send everything thru NOR and Doku.

 

[spacecadet]

Semenyo off, got the touch and control of a keeper

Some longer studs might help tbh.

 

[wolviedinho]

Good - cherki
Bad - Haaland, semenyo, nunes.
Ugly - Donna.

Need to serious up the pressure on arse second half. This passing out has come back again to bit us. Semenyo doing nothing on the right. Give some else a go. Bernie needs to be coming deeper to start attacks.

Nearly game over unless we can step it up. Can’t pass out that badly all game and get away with it.

Arsenal nothing special. Well drilled but dull.

League really is on the line.

Midfield and right wing badly letting us down. Can’t believe how bad semenyo is at controlling the ball and running with it.

 

[svennis pennis]

Can someone enlighten me as to what we did wrong at that corner? Arsenal play WWF at every single one, we get a free kick against us for standing remotely in front of the keeper… as the ball travels beyond him and the position of our player?

 

[AlexGrimaldo]

Donnaruma and Semenyo awful

 

[stan bowles]

Big half time talk from Pep needed. We've not been anywhere near it so far. So many players taking the wrong decision and unable to play simple passes to a team mate. At the back, we look uncertain and nervous as hell not helped by Donnarumma's moments of madness

 

[gray740]

Nico and Cherki plus Rodders shining

 

[lonestay]

One thing's for sure am not looking forward to the Donna/Trafford debate after the game, it's gonna be the most tedious thread on here.

 

[Uncle Wally One Ball]

Semenyo needs to be replaced at HT. Foden on for him maybe?

 

[Dicko69]

Donnarumma's stupidity is the only reason we're not winning this.

It was a shit first touch from a keeper, raya only just got away with one, shit happens. Well smash these 2nd half

 

[lasereyes]

Not dissimilar to Carabou final. We starting asserting ourselves from about 25 mins on. Let's hope for another 2H masterclass.

 

[Bald fraud]

What a fuck up that was pathetic

 

[Ajm1985]

Same as against Chelsea - don't need subs, just need the players to do better. Nearly clicking in attack, Rodri needs to start bossing it and Donnarumma just needs to be miles better on the ball

 

[Gorton_Tubster]

One month ago I wouldn't have expected this, with 1 cup already, we're in the semifinal of another, and we could be going for the league. So I'm ok for whatever happens today. But cmooooon City

 

[Zenmanc]

Seriously? Don has pulled off some absolutely amazing saves this season. You do remember Trafford had a terrible home debut yes?

Agreed. My knee jerk is to get angry at him but he's stood on his head at times for us.
