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

[remember arthur mann]

The arse are a good disciplined side, shut down well and play good defensive angles. Us on the other hand are all over the shop. Maybe that why we're difficult to handle sometimes.

Great goal from Cherkladze!

Was like him wasn’t it. One of my favourites ever.

 

[borassic]

That cock up has probably cost us the PL.

Here’s me thinking there’s another 45 minutes to play

 

[give it to gordon]

What is a foul on Haaland ?

 

[domalino]

Mush for erling.
Easy...

I think everyone calling for Marmoush is delusional if you think he's going to do better than Haaland when the referee thinks this is fine.

 

[Bewar3them00n]

We can beat this shower. Interesting how Taylor gave free kick for foul on their keeper. Most of Arsenal’s goals have come from that all season.

My thoughts exactly, the 2/2 game Ederson got absolutely piled on for their goal, yet Nico stands in front of Reyes & it’s a foul, absolutely pathetic

 

[Pingu the Penguin]

Are sky going to analyse the crucial handball decison?

 

[come-on-barney]

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

You at the game ?

[mosssideblue]

We’ve got this. 3-1

 

[Doc_Testosterone]

They will park the bus now. Their game plan has been attempt to get a goal, which we gifted to them, and then sit back deep. That is why they got 4 CBs.

 

[Taylor]

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

Agreed, get Doku running at him, he's on a yellow

 

[super_city_si]

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

Agree.

 

[argyle]

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!

They have hard ons for shot stopping though.

 

[I'm With Stupid]

"Arsenal played better"

For like 10-15 minutes, maybe.

To be fair, they're not the ones that need a win.

They needed a goal for all of 30 seconds though.

 

[ALDN_Ko]

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.

Doku wasn’t even close to being one of the worst players on the pitch. Yes he could make better decisions but his and NOR’s dribbling have gotten us out of tight spots.

Semenyo, Donna and Haaland have to step up, especially the first two. Donnarumma has fucked our game plan because he’s nervous and we can’t play the passes to him anymore. World class my arse. Semenyo did all the talking pre match and hasn’t even kicked a ball properly even once today. Haaland just needs to be stronger.

 

[Blu1]

Please suggest the substitution you’d make

Happily have foden on for senrnyo

 

[kippaxchris]

Scored for them.
Wasted time for them.
Gave them a few set pieces.
Kicked the ball out for them.
Passed about the back for them.

Great tactics.

 

[colorado blue]

Arsenal are shit. Sadly we're not much better.

They do have AT on their side to level things out

 

[blue_danube]

If Donna hadn't made that huge mistake we'd be up at least 2

Indeed. That killed any momentum stone dead
