Hi Sam.Hi V how's things fella? Yeah saw that, he's a twat he really is,biggest game of the season and we cant celebrate?? wasn't it United a bit back,who did a lap of honour cos they beat Brentford at the swamp? lol.
Yeah, that block by Havertz could have gone anywhere. They might linger on the chances where they hit the posts but they got 100% lucky on the charge down, and they got 100% lucky when Erling had a similar opportunity when Raya near buggered it up.Arsenal were very lucky to equalise and yet still lost.
Yes, they were ..... and Gabriel started it !Some ex ref said that the goal shouldn't have stood cos of Haaland had hold of Gabriel...they were both holding.
Why is that ? Numbers ?It's a far cry from the Mad Hatter days...
This was good insight into the tactics and how Arteta actually improved things, and how lucky we were they didnt take their chances, but how well we did to take ours. Good insight into why it was more difficult than the EFL cup final.

Also Doku had 2 chances - 1 fluffed and 1 shot at the goalieI expected them to be better than the cup final. We were never going to dramatically change our approach so it was easier for them to prepare. Odegaard was the main difference, he helped their back 4 by dropping in which meant our 4 man block was less effective and he helped lead their press which led to some shaky play at the back for much of the first half.
But in terms of statistics, they had more possession but only a couple more shots/shots on target than in the cup final. We only had two shots on target to win the cup, and increased that on Sunday so our metrics were actually better.
They can look at a fair few chances - Havertz' shot saved, Eze and Gabriel hitting the post, Havertz' header late on. They can also be happy with their goal - a gift, Gabriel staying on the pitch after the headbutt and even the Gabriel arm block from Cherki's shot which could have been interpreted as handball on a different day. His arm was in a natural position, tucked in, but he moved it towards the ball to make the block.
We can look at Haaland's shot and then Cherki's follow up off the post. Khusanov's chance and Haaland's follow up against the post. Semenyo's awful touch when through on goal. It was fairly even, but considering they got gifted their goal I still think we edged it.
Don't hear much Yankee twang there. Lot of expats in NYC - the others I think have just learnt to speak Mancs, God bless emThat's Brilliant..Hi New York x
The Inside City episode is out. It has some new angles of the game. Haaland looks so calm in the incident with Gabriel. It features some great crowd scenes too. I liked Bernardo's reactions during and after the game.
Wolvie the criticism on the matchday thread was crazy and first of I have no problems with JT. Keepers make fuck ups as we all know.He was never perfect with his feet. The criticism on here is disproportionate to reality. He is not Ederson and never will be. He saves us in each game many times.
He fucked up but then made some big saves. What more do people want? Any excuse to complain.
That’s Tuchel? Yes/no?
Great close up. Should shut the Cockney twat up who says the goal should have been disallowed for Erlings shirt pulling. Interestingly if he had put it wide would we have got the penalty for the shirt pull (foul) on Erling?cheers for that, ive been waiting to see a decent close up replay - i thought Gabriel had engaged first and he did. 50-50 tussle, Haaland won.
Got pissed up with the NYC Blues a few times when I’m over there for work. They can put it away even at 9am ;)Don't hear much Yankee twang there. Lot of expats in NYC - the others I think have just learnt to speak Mancs, God bless em
Partly. And sizeWhy is that ? Numbers ?
