Arsenal (A) Post Match thread

[The Colonel]

A fantastic 3 points.

Tyler and Neville trying to set a different narrative, but we have gone to Arsenal and not given them a sniff. Fair enough, we weren’t at our swashbuckling best, but it was total control for the majority of the 90 mins.

Dias and Stones immense. Special mention for Zin as well, who didn’t put a foot wrong and even seemed more progressive on the ball.

Fern excellent in the middle.

Half time summation, “City have not done enough yet”. Just fucking weird from the creepy man.

 

[The Colonel]

Stones and dias colossal at the back. That burst of pace and strength to push over aubameyang was superb, vinnie-esque.

Followed by a high five.

I love the fucking bitterness OOZING and SEEPING through the BBC "live" comments from "fans"... one fan said "controversial opinion, Manchester City are incredibly dull and boring to watch" or something to that effect. Hahahahahahahaha

Only if you prefer drama to high quality football.

Followed by a high five.

The high fives between the CB's are great, you rarely see it with other teams, especially those 10 points clear.

23rd clean sheet of the season (15 in the PL) from 38 games (25 PL).

8 wins will do it...

Don`t know how you arrive at that ?

Followed by a high five.

The commentators on Peacock were annoyed by the high-fives.

Rags and Leicester have to play each other and they have to play us

It seems that playing KDB, Gundogan and Bernardo Silva all at the same time isn't ideal.

That's a tough decision to have. Having to rotate them for best tactical advantage.

Pep must be gutted...

That's quite simplistic given Bernardo looked a shadow of himself when he was flitted in and out if the side to accommodate.Gundogan also struggles when pushed out of position.

We are incredibly fortunate to have such an array of talent/options but its also an issue where our most creative and cohesive 11 are concerned.

Sorry - miscalculated - it's 9 wins.

... despite us playing a game practically every three days for three months....

You mean except for our 2 week holiday we blamed on covid :-)

 

[City till the day I Die]

Solid professional performance by us today should of been more but a win is a win, and not too long ago Arsenal was one of those places we always lost at. Stones and Dias absolutely fantastic, I was loving them celebrate with each other every time 1 of them made a tackle or a block.

De Bruyne seemed quiet today but he has been out a month and you could tell hopefully that 60 minutes can bring him back up to speed.

Let's get a positive result midweek now COME ON CITY.

2 weeks? I could of sworn it was longer than that maybe a month surely

 

[M12Blue]

Yep. What can’t be argued (although I’m sure it will) is that if we win the league (likely) and the CL (very possible) this season then this is the greatest side in English history. We could even do better.

100 points (unprecedented)
Domestic quadruple (unprecedented)
Back to back titles
Champions of Europe and England (tbc)

No other English side comes close.

Now your seeing things through blue tinted specs. There will never be appropriate recognition ;)

 

[kinky's boots]

I'd agree, but team wise, I think this is better, 18/19 was very good too, we're talking very fine margins though.

I think 18/19 was more entertaining, but this team has the resilience needed to do what it needs to do. The experience to save energy for tougher days

 

[kupest]

Best part about this run is that we are ticking off some tricky games (Liverpool, Spurs, Everton, Arsenal). Our run in is much easier than most below us.

KDB 1st game back. Dont you think with hindsight, this is a knee-jerk comment.
