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

[Micky Blue]

I’m loving the line up of pundits.
Weirdly it feels more like Viera is the city representative and the twat Micah has openly admitted previously he wants arse to win the title.

 

[brummie blue]

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

Marmoush before Foden, but Semenyo not staying out wide enough to stretch them.

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

We beat these without a sub chill out and let the boys do the talking

 

[Zenmanc]

Donna needs to concede that he's got the footwork and ball handling of a giraffe on roller skates.
Speed up his decisions and get out of danger quicker.

 

[Norbert D]

Donna was having a mare in the lead up to his howler. He’s making the back four nervous.
Taylor as expected doing his best to influence things. All the time wasting and the **** had the nerve to add one minute

 

[Dicko69]

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

Not lack of composure, lack of of ability, but as you say, a trade off. Best shot stopper in the world after cortois (sp)

 

[Blue-Ghana]

Been precious little click in the final third, which is why we’re so reliant on individual brilliance. All three attackers are on different hymn sheets.

Even against Liverpool, I though liverpool front 3 were more fluent. A draw will be a great result for Arsenal; they will sit back and try to hit us on the counter . Semanyo and Haaland need to be more clinical

 

[MMA]

Please suggest the substitution you’d make

Mush for erling.
Easy...

 

[thyer64]

Adebayor saying it plainly - Donna one of worlds best in shot stopping but not good with his feet...

Donna too slow to clear it and fucked it instead

 

[jamielowndes]

Havertz being the only outfield player watching that throw or anything going on around it is fucking awful.

 

[Bewar3them00n]

Arteta has put Madueke & Eze in to try nullify Nico & Nunes.
Mosquera on a yellow should be a green light for Doku to run at him in the 2nd half before Arteta swaps him out.
Quick ball down the middle like in 23, & these will fold.
Come on Pep, work your magic

 

[coolcity]

Only read a few posts and it's the usual meltdown despite the fact that they've produced nothing of note to be concerned about.

Shocking lack of respect for what this team has done for us. I'll leave it with you.

 

[balotellishaircut]

Had Donna not done that mistake, we would be 2 or 3 up.

We were never the same after that.

Need a big Pep half time talk

Absolutely, it took all the wind out of our sails.

 

[Ajm1985]

You are joking right

Joking about what, you weirdo. You replied to two separate posts to refer to Donnarumma. Not every post I make has to reference his fuck up

 

[CityDE]

Would have been a totally different game without Donnarumma gifting them a goal. Still enough time to win it tho. Cherki is magic and will produce more magic in the 2nd half!!

 

[DMA's]

Nunes did nothing wrong for their goal.

Doku also been good. Other than that was a great post

 

[CambridgeExileBlue]

Haaland needs to learn he has to go into combat.
He is not in the playground now.

 

[Chak19]

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

Don't think we need a sub, we've played well, just that inexcusable fuck up.

 

[Bluearmy]

The irony of Arsenal's keeper getting protected on corners.

YCMIU

He had plenty of time to clear that ball.
Pissed about for too long.
