Arsenal (H) | PL | Post Match Thread

We have to give credit to Arsenal for coming to the Etihad and trying to win the game.
Yes they wasted time, used the dark arts, etc. but they also attacked and had chances to win the game.
It was a great game if football with both teams going for it.
 
How the fuck was that a shite performance? Weve just beaten the best team in the world to put the title in our own hands!
Still trying to work out how a performance can be "shite" and "massive" at the same time. Where do we find these idiots? Anyone that's in here from the match thread needs to do one right now.

??? Did you watch the same match? Hit post twice, Havertz missed a sitter and Donnarumma made a great save.
We had 59% possession, 15 to 9 shots, 5 to 3 on target. And Gabriel should have walked twice. That handball was pretty identical to Bernardo's against Madrid. We also hit the post twice and Haaland and Doku missed very presentable chances. Arsenal were very passive in the 2H until we scored - clearly playing for a draw despite Arteta's bellicose claims otherwise. Sorry mate, it was tight at the end but the better team won.
 
I don't wish to put a dampener on things, but Arse's five remaining games are against teams no higher than 12th. Ours are a bigger challenge. Yes they're bottlers, but sadly they are not shit. We know how to win a title of course, and we're certainly capable of winning six on the bounce, but this could very well go down to goal difference.
That's the spirit. Bet you were one of those who had written us off when we were 9 points behind.
 
Get in there! Tough, tough game, all the built up momentum collapsed when Donnarumma fucked up. Struggled to regain composure and control for a while after that but got there in the end. The big players who have been there before produced when it mattered and that was ultimately the difference today, Bernardo and Haaland in particular.

It's on now, got to show the same desire at Burnley and every other game after, plenty of difficult games, can't be relying on Arsenal bottling it, they gave us the chance, it's now on us to show we want it and deserve it by taking it.

Fans were great, their fans were seriously poor even when it was 1-1 and they were arguably on top, still barely heard a peep, at the end when they're desperate for a goal, piling pressure on, their players repeatedly urged the away end to make some noise, give a big roar as they get a last minute corner... nothing.

Police proper fucked it outside, not neccesarily in yhr actual ground but they should have kept them within the fenced off away section for a short period instead of letting them out freely, plenty of scraps up and down yhe new road and then the police made it worse by creating a sort of divide along the pavement which fed straight into the home fans coming out of the south stand.
 
Fuck me, talk about tough audience. Foden came on with 5 mins to go. Didn't see him give the ball away or jog around losing his man. Seems the lad can't fucking win at the moment
I was glad to see Foden on. When others seemed determined to give the ball back, Foden just calmly took control of it and smartly sent it back to Donnarumma to run it out. His presence there calmed me from some otherwise chances I didn't think they should have had in those final minutes.

I was happy to see him come on for Cherki. We needed the legs and discipline. Cherki was drifting and was really nonchalant second half.
