Ramsdale "Arsenal proved they can beat Man City". Yeah, by drawing 1-1

That was poor, no creativity what so ever. Need to purchase a creative winger.

We were poor in the first half but we aren't fit. Arsenal were worse but got lucky

The same exuberant celebrations as Lpl did last season when they won the shield and we know how their season went. We know Pep won’t be happy we didn’t see that game out, his face said it all.

Why can`t people just accept that City lost that due to their own downfall.Fuck all to do with Atwell.We couldn`t stop the bastard goal coming from a corner and then the daft twats couldn`t even take decent penalties.
Just accept that we were at fault.

Fuck me.

Result irrelevant

Questions over the balance in midfield and creativity if KDB aint there....

I can see what Kovaicic brings...many good attributes but you can also see what we miss if he is the Gundo replacement in this team.....he has no creativity historically and he aint a goal scorer historically either....Maybe Pep thinks he can be so we will have to wait and see...we have seen Pep develop already established pro's so you never know

Foden changes games and hopefully will start in games that matters.

I love Alvarez but he is a forward who is a great finisher and I dont see him as anywhere near as effective in the number 10 role....and he works hard, and can play there but not as well as our other options. and he doesnt really have that creativity....

When KDB isnt available I feel it should be a midfield 3 of Rodri Bernardo and Foden as the two number 8's.....therefore we need a wide attacker or two......which again makes the purchase of Kovacic as good as he is a little confusing

Whenever havertz or mount get any slander online Chelsea fans will pull up the CL final as their excuse for them, even though they have been rubbish since then.

 

[bluemystery]

because they’re not very good keepers

Ortega arguably won us the FA cup last season.

 

[Ajm1985]

Quite happy with that performance considering where we usually are. Arsenal had a decent spell but City were really quite dominant. It took a lucky deflection to equalise and then penalties are bullshit anyway.

Could do with a bit more strength in depth but our starting XI will be superb

Congratulations on winning a plate Arsenal, see you at the end of the season.
