It is an extra substitution. But the opposition get an extra sub if it’s used.

I noticed yesterday that we approached the 4th official with a sheet of paper as soon as Arsenal had to use the concussion sub.
What was that about?

I noticed yesterday that the 4th official approached our bald coach (name unknown) with a sheet of paper as soon as Arsenal had to use the concussion sub, and the bloke didn’t have a scooby what was going on hahaha
 
Another one of our tough games on paper chalked off and another win and that's all that matters. Goals and entertainment are an added bonus but winning is the name of the game. I wish we'd make it a little less nervy, the pundit's may say we were in third gear and never in danger but my nerves don't see it that way lol!

If you'd have said we'd get maximum points from Spurs at home and Liverpool, Everton and Arsenal away everyone would be delighted and I certainly am. It gives us a healthy cushion in case, God forbid, we slip up, we just need Leicester and the rags to start dropping points and it's happy days. It's a good job we've had this run as the alternative would be the rags on top and probably a title win, how depressing would that be!
 
Observing the aftermath of the media reports regarding our relentless winning run they are now concentrating on our owners again and our squad depth , reading some articles you would think we have spent a billion in the last transfer window when it actually has taken ten transfer windows of careful spending within FFP guidelines
If it was so easy to buy success why arent Chelsea at the top of the league with their £300m summer investment or Klippety and the Paperboy after their £500m outlays , the jealousy and piss boiling is a thing of beauty and a sign of true desperation that clowns like Delaney have to resort to basic lies.
The most disappointing thing is our club will do absolutely nothing and allow journalists to perptuate their constant lies , which i find strange how does allowing liars to disparage the club improve our "brand".

They went back and forward for a while passing love letters to each other. I didn't realise that when Arsenal used the concussions sub it meant we could use an extra sub too.
Someone mentioned it earlier in the thread.
Copied the following

Won’t the team using APCSs and also three normal substitutions have a possible advantage by having more fresh players on the field than their opponents?
No, because once an APCS takes place, the opposing team are given the right to make an additional “normal” substitution at a time of their choosing.

If the opponents are making a "normal" substitution of their own at the time of the APCS, that substitution remains a “normal” one and does not count as “additional”.
 
You guys thoroughly deserved that, I'm surprised it was only 1 in the end, although that was probably down to you taking your foot of the gas.

Was really annoyed at some of our cowardly performances yesterday, thought guys like Bellerin are physically & mentally scared when they play you guys, its really quite pathetic & doing my head in. I can take getting beat by the much better team, I can take going down with a bit of a fight, but just thought that was shit from us yesterday in all honesty.

Still, glad you guys are going on to win the league, best team in the country by a mile, & play football the way it should be played.
 
after watch some more of the game from yesterday it was clear city took the foot of the gas and was playing with arsenal after 10 minutes ? at any point of the game did arsenal look like they could have hurt us ? city had so much gears and levels to go up its scary for the rest

couple of points from the game i did not like. the respect city players was giving arsenal ? then you see arsenal players around the referee wanting players books. plus couple of dirty tackles from arsenal that could have had big injury problems for city

also KDB fitness ? i know he is coming back from a injury and needs game time and minutes. but 60 mins was far to much and running the risk ? KDB is special and i understand the need to get him in the team ? but when he is cooked after 20 minutes he does nothing for the team and was just pushed into the false 9 to rest

one of the hardest games pep said after the game its never easy coming here ? well i feel pep is going easy on his mate arteta because of the links with city and he did not want to put the pressure on him getting the sack. but
the truth is pep and city could have run up a double figure score and got arteta the sack. with the levels city are at right now any other manager at arsenal would be facing the sack this morning after city running up a rugby score

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

It is not KDB fault that Gundogan had an off day inside the box with his control.
Gundogan still got in some great positions yesterday but his control was not in the same standard as the last few months.
 
One thing I noticed yesterday was how often Dias and Stones carried the ball forward deep into Arsenal territory. Time and time again, especially in the second half. Much more so than in recent games. Normally Ferna would be the one doing this from deep. A very smart reaction to Arteta asking Saka to drop onto Cancelo and Odegaatd onto Ferna and man-mark them when we were in possession. Proper 4D chess shit to still create the spare man

Fernandinho was the best player on the pitch. How i wish we had a 23 year old version of him. The way he plays he could still play another couple of years i reckon and he is without doubt in my mind one of our best ever buys. Because he is surrounded with so many talented players he doesn't ever appear to get the accolades he deserves. On his day though he is one of the best at his role in the world.

As for the game, we cant be amazing every game, but we can be professional and yesterday we were ruthless defensively. Dias has had an impact way beyond what i expected and looks a steal now. He is still only young too. He is some player.

It was great to see Kev back, those minutes will do him the world of good and we are a far better team with him in it, because he offers us what very few players can. For me he is the first name on the team sheet if he is fit, everything else builds around him. For all the attributes of our midfielder's and there are many, Kev plays and it should be the job of the others to work around that.

Zincho continues to impress, he is a clever footballer. I was watching the game on Sport TV2 from Portugal and the commentator kept getting him and Kev mixed up, very funny.

The run continues, it speaks volumes when we can go to Arsenal, win 1-0. be nowhere near our best but still look very comfortable'

10 wins out the League games remaining and we are champions even if every other team wins all there games. So we probably need 8 wins from 13 games. and we will win the league. I never really expected us to be in this position.

To be honest mate Ferny still looks about 23. He's one of those blokes who is so fit he kinda shines,and now he's got runners around him,his brain does most of the work.
