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

[dronefromsector7G]

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.

Keane is our representative

 

[Chippy_boy]

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

I don't see it like that at all. Since our balls up we've completely bossed it. Only 1 team looks like scoring the next goal and it's not them.

 

[citysince88]

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!!

This is the sort of positivity I can get behind !

 

[DMA's]

Trafford, thats not a goal, and we play out better from the back.

Agreed. Arsenal also wouldn’t be pressing like this either.

They know we can’t play through it as effectively and want him to go long into their cbs where haaland is getting bullied.

Donnarumma wouldn’t have left psg if he was as good as people think.

He is a brilliant shot stopper but he can’t deal with crosses nor pass. He isn’t the answer

 

[HorlocksWalk]

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

Sad bit was it was a throwing so he could have picked it up

 

[Ryan.98.]

Think of the momentum the team would get by changing the gk now and saying to Trafford right this is your shirt to lose but nope good chance the Italian kicks it into his own goal in second half

 

[Gibblue]

Donnarumma is a bit wank with his feet. we know that
But that throw was just fuckin stupid
My 12 year olds would know not to give it to the keeper from there straight after a goal
It’s like they have more confidence than ability at times

It's 100% on Donna. He was an open outlet for City. He took an age to trap the ball. Then took an age to react to the bad touch. Then was soft in the challenge

 

[Robinho's Subbuteo]

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

 

[super_city_si]

To be fair to him, these two are two of the best in the league and he has both of them on him. He has no support at all and when Donna kicks it to him, we don’t have a player within 10 yards.

I think we have been pretty average to be honest. Predicible.

They are also allowed to pull and grapple and headlock with impunity.

 

[Micky Blue]

What is a foul on Haaland ?

I think you need some sort of weapon, like a sledgehammer.

But even then it’s only a yellow.

 

[heslops barnet]

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

Can you see Alty sending any gooner off?

 

[pudge]

We’ve got this. 3-1

Bookmarked

 

[bg1968]

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

Liverpool's front three more fluent , what football match were you watching ? , jesus wept, they got battered 4-0

 

[pbueno16]

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.

I just don't think Marmoush would even engage with them. He'd just stay in space, but nowhere to actually be dangerous.

Haaland is at least effective at defending corners and holding it up when he manages to get some breathing room.

 

[Tugay One Cup]

Ref's doing everything in his power to stop this game being enjoyable.

 

[Allnightlong]

Really….???

Was asking a question not an asking for this.
Calm down

 

[El Ingeniero de Noruega]

Let’s get down to the main issue: who is going to be the next manager? That’s the question. Once again, the tactical approach has been piss poor.

 

[Cheadle_hulmeBlue]

Absolutely shocking from the keeper. Could cost us the league

 

[Doc_Testosterone]

Donnarumma knocked us out of the CL and looks to cost us the PL.

 

[Ajm1985]

You at the game ?

What the fuck are you on about? Are you on coke?
