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

[OrigamiNinja]

We’ve not been good enough there. Obviously it’s a huge fuck up from Donna but even without that, we haven’t been anywhere near good enough.

Rodri and Bernie need to get a fucking grip. They’re both consistently picking the ball up within 5 yards of our CBs and then it’s sideways, backwards, sideways again. They need to get their heads up and move it much quicker to break the Arse press.

Haaland and Semenyo are the softest big men I’ve ever seen. To my recollection, Haaland has won 1 50/50. If he can’t beat Gabriel more, move the fuck away from him. As for Semenyo, he’s had a fucking shocker. Everything he has done so far has been a fuck up.

Cherki is the key again. We need him on the ball in and around their area.

It’s time for the main men to show their metal. Give it everything.

 

[Blumers Bloomers]

Anyone slagging off Donnarumma has got a short memory …the reason we’re still in this title race is the World Class save he made at the death at Anfield

Players make mistakes all the time, unfortunately when a keeper makes a mistake it’s usually a goal to the opposition

Keep the faith

 

[Millennium]

Donnarumma, Doku and Haaland were the worst performers in the first half. That completely unnecessary and reckless mistake from Donnarumma as well as Nonez is simply unacceptable in a game of such importance.

 

[Jamshopbridge]

Great goal from Cherkladze!

 

[dromoreblue]

Donna dwells too long on the ball. Needs to play it sooner.

 

[eastmanc]

City have to get more control of the game on the second half. Do what you are doing but better.

 

[69FACUPfinal]

Only for that fuck up they’ve offered nothing bar pressing us and to let a gangly cnut like that score you deserve to be fined a weeks money

That cock up has probably cost us the PL.

 

[Tb1981]

I’d argue ours have been just as good

They have today
Bernie on the money

 

[crossie]

Pep makes a sub now & we up the tempo slightly we can beat these. Please don’t start 2nd half with the same 11.

Please suggest the substitution you’d make

 

[DMA's]

To those saying about Donna distribution doesn’t matter I hope this game has cleared that up for you.

Arsenal have literally altered their press because donnarumma can’t play out!

 

[Mancityus]

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

Foden ? We do not want to go backwards again.

 

[The Future’s Blue!]

3 points:

1. WTF was Donna doing?

2. WTF are the officials doing, we can’t even get a throw in call?

3. WTF are the commentary team doing, brushing every dodgy decision under the carpet?

 

[Bluemoonie92]

Doku should be running at their rb every time now. Get him sent off

 

[Chak19]

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

What pisses me off is that Raya has been dicking around constantly these last few games but it never goes in, our keeper does it once and it's a goal, fucking joke.

 

[Bald fraud]

Arteta starting havertz today hoping pep has ptsd from chumps league final when he was at Chelsea

Nunes did nothing wrong for their goal.

 

[madloaf]

Doku should be running at their rb every time now. Get him sent off

Use his full name "NOT FUCKING THERE DOKU".

 

[M Gaudino]

Pep makes a sub now & we up the tempo slightly we can beat these. Please don’t start 2nd half with the same 11.

i dont know where these fans actually come from

we are generally speaking on top. dont change anything

 

[come-on-barney]

The trade off for Donnarummas shot stopping is that he'll fuck up at the back with his passing and lack of composure.

The club don’t have it in them to give it to Trafford
.

 

[Blue_Lightsaber]

We will reget this big time

Yes if Trafford leaves.. can see him being the best keeper in England for 15 years!
