Arsenal post match thread

[Mancity1980]

No they didnt. we were worthy of a draw at least.

You are entitled to your opinion, but while we could have got a draw - no way was that performance WORTHY of a draw at least.

 

[morleyswife]

What did Kolarov do other than pass it back?

Get forward

 

[KingCarlito]

Blame Mangala as much as we like but it's our lame full backs who put him under unnecessary pressure.

Playing Yaya so deep for 80 mins is laughable - he should've just put 2 fingers up at MP and gone up there anyway, I'd rather see us lose 4-0 going for it than just give up. Our management are a joke and 20 yrs out of date but tell me something we don't already know.

Kompany and zabba fit from now on we could sneak it ,but if not I don't see us winning the league too many errors .mangos a headless ,legless chicken,lesscott was scary on the ball but mangala makes him look like beckenbau.

''We were tired we have played.........oh wait a minute....I forgot.....we had nine days rest this time!'''......Ok....''I thought we played well and we continue to play the same way.''......

Arsenal will slip up against Watford or something next. They are shit.

 

[Sky Blue]

Come on fella get real...unlucky? Arsenal could have made it 3-4 easily if they had been on point.

It was men against boys tonight, and that comes from a stokie who hates arsenal ever since the shawcross debacle of 2009.

No you Stoke clown....it really wasn't...

 

[El Ingeniero de Noruega]

Not tonight he didn't. What would you have done?

Im agree 100%

 

[blueheart84]

Pellegrini has taken this team backwards. Whenever we play any other of the 'big 6' now I expect us to lose.

 

[razman]

Yaya was useless, jogged for 80 minutes... The goal doesn't mark his incompetence!

That the defence was pathetic was a given unfortunately

 

[Bluemanc100]

We played the strongest team we had available so no complaints there. We matched them for the first 30 mins and Kevin could have done better with his chance. Fair play to Walcott, that was a good goal. still in the game if we go in 1-0 at half time. Mangala has another brain fart and its 2-0. Fair play to Pellegrini, he had to chase the game in the second half and he did. Not sure what more he could have done. That inevitably led to us being wide open and if Arsenal had been more clinical, it would have been worse. Yaya was something else in the last 15 mins. Simply unplayable. I didn't think we played badly but individual mistakes are clearly going to cost us. No point in blaming Manuel I'm afraid, injuries have really taken their toll. Kompany, Sergio even when he does play is in recovery mode. Dave still doesn't look 100%. It is really ruining our chance of winning anything this season.

We had the strongest team on at the end.... The manager's fault as is the lack of confidence/motivation

 

[tiggsywiggsywoo]

Owd Pep will have his work cut out. I expected for us to lose. However I can't help feeling disappointed. We should have had this title tied up weeks ago with this squad. Pellegrini as lived off Bobbys back. Time as sussed him and so have everyone else. Fuckin useless.

 

[roj]

We start to boss it
We realise we're bossing it and start getting slightly cocky
Mangala does an ace sliding challenge, predicting where the ball's gonna be having realised their player's getting the first touch
Mangala gets more cocky and tries that pass
Uphill from there

Walcott's goal was an example of the quality both us and Arsenal have. Can't argue with goals like that.

That's my hazy version.

 

[Citizen in Pakistan]

Truth be told we are over reliant on two injury prone players
Without aguero and kompany our attack and defense becomez average. It shouldnt be happening after all that spending.
We played well in first 30 mins and last 10 with 50 mins of average football

 

[Chippy_boy]

Agree completely. Yaya was shocking tonight. Again.

 

[city saint]

I know hes frustrating but we look miles better when navas is on.although I wish the daft **** would shoot

 

[stan bowles]

Maybe. I just find it very frustrating that this happens all the time with Aguero. You look at players like Silva. They come back and they are the same player, yet Aguero always takes months, and I mean months to get back to his game. He didn't look fit. Just sounding off. Best ignored.

Silva isn't the same player as he was before his latest injury.

 

[somethingelse]

to get 3 pts city have to take the lead or its game over,KDB runs back even slower than Yaya
Mariner couldn't see that 4 minutes of time out quickly enough,Giroud was still on the floor when it started then he was allowed to run back to the half way line

 

[SS2dan]

Comon Si, at least spell the captains name correctly.

To be fair it is that long since he last played and don't we all know that it is no wonder he forgot vinnys surname is kompany

 

[Ed2607]

City will win the league this season.

Agreed

 

[gomer27]

You need to go fuck off back to whoever you supported before. What has what we've spent got to do with supporting your team?.. I know the red press love the gazillions quotes but for a supposed City fan to quote shit like this is indefensible. The team played well, 69 percent possession and got beat by a wonder strike. Get real. I hate this forum as its literally turned into ragsville with posters thinking that we're entitled to win everything at a cantor. Football isn't like that and City certainly aren't either.

why because people think city should dominate a poor premier league? isnt that what is supposed to happen when you spend over 150 mil on players in a window to score more goals and win games? to get better players? i understand we cant win everything but give me a break, we havent won a road game in forever and have scored fucking 2 goals in our last 5? how can you accept that and be ok with it?
