Arsenal Post Match Thread.

No point getting upset about it. People are entitled to their opinions, both naysayers and I told you so-ers. I believe some of the comments on here may well be aimed at me; so be it. I was very disappointed in the showing in the first half, and said so at half time. The team and the fans seemed very flat, almost like each was waiting for the other to fire them up. I said at the break that I couldn't see where a goal was coming from, based on the first half performance. Some on here have taken great umbrage at those comments of me (and others). Fine; they're free to voice their opinions. I wish to apologise to anyone who was upset by those comments. Not for the comments per se, but the fact that they seem to have got some people's backs up.

I dont think the told you so-ers are upset at the likes of you Jim, we are all allowed an opinion and you are here still for start off, its the wankers who do nothing but slag everything about the club off and then are nowhere to be seen until the next loss or build up to a big game. I suspect many of them arent Blues.
 
Did we? They always looked more likely to score than us. We had a lot of possession and as so many times this season never actually threatened them other than on the two occasions you mentioned.



Sterling did well but he just doesn't know what to do really in the "striker" role/position or false 9 or whatever you want to call it. I think he is more dangerous on the wing. But at least he put a shift in in the first.



Piss off
Judging by your analysis - the way to avoid confusion would be not opening your eyes in the morning
 
They nay sayers lurk in the prematch and match threads, doing nothing but slag just about everything the club is doing, most players, the manager, Txixi, shocked the kitmen dont come in for more abuse, then disappear like a fart in the wind if we win. Total shithouses at best, rags at worst, the lot of them.
Yep. And enough of this "can't we all just enjoy the win" bollocks.

Well yeah we could if we didn't have to put up with the ****s in the first place. If we can't mention the fact they are spineless ****s then it's a win win for them whatever happens.

They either melt away with a win or claim they knew it all along if we lose.
 
So fucking proud of the players and our manager.

We made Arsenal look fucking ordinary due to a fantastic work ethic.



Just wish there were more posts like yours in here, man. All this negativity, all this overreaction, what can I say. You can only hope players and manager don’t visit this site…

By far the most important match City have played this season. Recent results had severely damaged our moral, lack of confidence was reflected in the performance of the 1st half, particularly in the -low- pace of our build up, the predictable ball circulation etc. Conceding early again, just after 5’, it felt like reliving the Leicester nightmare, like 10 days later. These are human beings out there, not robots. Why is it so difficult to understand their situation?

I made it clear in my first post, City’s transfer strategy last summer was a fucking travesty. An imbalanced squad, naturally an imbalanced lineup: Talented yet immature youngsters needing time, key players over 30, while for some players their best days are clearly behind them, etc etc etc. And a manager experiencing the hard reality of the PL, it’s only normal that occasionally he’ll get some things wrong. However, I’m trying really really hard yet cannot remember another manager having such an impact in such an extremely limited period of time, as far as I am concerned it has never happened before…

So I’m not going to play the blame game. With this manager and these players City have managed to qualify in the KO stage of the CL, and tonight they sit 2nd in the PL table. But there’s no doubt in my mind that whatever City achieve this season it will be against the odds, all rivals, and I mean ALL of them, have definitely more complete, balanced and experienced squads. [But is it just the direct rivals? 10 days ago playing against Leicester, Guardiola was practically obliged to field a 19yo kid in the SC position (and subbed him in the 2nd half). And Ranieri’s options, respectively? Well, only the likes of Vardy, Slimani, Okazaki, Musa. I mean it’s fucking RIDICULOUS. Just because a certain parasite with unbelievable wages failed to do his job during the summer…]

Tonight we were missing key players, Sergio, Ferna are simply indispensable, Gundogan also out (while we have learnt to live without Company) etc. Coming from behind, City beat Arsenal, an Arsenal practically forced in a clearly passive role throughout 90’. A massive win, we are still alive. Again, the most important match so far. And the key point here is not the quality of the performance, we can do much much better, it's the work ethic, you are absolutely correct. As already proven, this team refuses to accept defeat, like you, I feel it is a privilege to support this group of players led by this manager. A manager with this particular vision about football…

Get behind the team ffs. Make players feel your support, they deserve it all the way…
