Arsenal v CITY - Official Match Thread

[smiles]

We're dominating midfield atm, give them that much space in MF and they'll score 3 on us

I Agree With The Line Up...Fuck the midfield battle we wouldnt be losing it if vieira wasnt so retardedly slow...he's done ok...but no where near good enough...he just cant run and it pisses me of...rather see swp in the centre...

uhh were winning it, we're away to Arsenal. Give them space to play and they will score.
We can't play champagne football 100% of the time, sometimes you have to grind it out and thats exactly what we're doing.

even if we win our two next games, a point here won't help, unless my math is off, so I say bring in Ireland for Viera, and Adebayor for Barry, and go for it.

your maths is off.

if we beat spurs we go ahead even with no points today!

Correct.but lose today we are 2 points behind. Both win next sat and we are still 2 points behind. We beat them then we go one ahead going in to the final game. A draw today will see us 2 ahead going in to the final game. Therefore a draw should be good enough - I am banking on GD due to th fact we would have beaten them.

God i hope paddy goes off for ade

mancini needs to realise he's the only one who wants him....winning mentality doesnt win you games...playing good does...

boring game at the moment...both teams cancelling each other out....we need an outlet, be that up front or in midfield

at last a sensible comment, this is exactly what we need.

Everyone plays 5 in mid against Arsenal (even Barca did), they rip you open if not

Those saying get Johno off are clueless.

We might as well take all 3 of our frontmen off if thats what you want. We need a player to sit in the middle of the pitch to link the midfield. Wingers dont do that job. We have 3 very defensive central midfielders and then a huge gap to Tevez. If I was going to make a change it would be Adebayor on for De jong. Play Tevez through the middle and Ade up top.

If we're going to play on the counter SWP is the better bet than AJ

Correct. Draw here and then beat spurs n villa, then we would only need a draw against west ham.

I don't agree. If we tried to exploit the fact that Arsenal have so many 1st Team players out and go for a win in this one we could afford to draw against Spurs.

This is exactly right. They are there for the taking but I just can't see it happening. A draw would only encourage Villa and Spuds wouldn't regard it as a disaster either. They're still fourth, as things stand, despite a pretty miserable result today.

A more adventurous team would take them on and beat them well. .

Chelsea sat back conceded lots of possesion and hit em on the break.
Utd sat back conceded lots of possesion and hit em on the break.

Think we are doing fine and dandy right now.
