City v Arsenal post match thread

[Hungdaddy]

This passing out the back scares the shit out of me, over played it a few times and they nearly score from it. I was shouting at the TV kick the fucking thing lol

 

[aguerooooo]

We should have played two or three more games instead of schlepping to China & back to play one.

A week to go and we still are trying to sign players is it wise? if i was at Everton i would assess City are desperate after tonight and move Stones valuation up to 60m We have signed 3-4 promising kids but yet to rectify our obvious shortcomings

 

[The perfect fumble]

The Swedish PA took a fuck of a long time telling the crowd they'd run out chips.

Joe Hart is always one of the first to go over to our fans and applaud them so why did Guardiola seem to pick him out of all the players to start pushing him over to our fans? What the heck was Hamman on about with 'body language' remark as well?

Joe Hart was not the worst player on that pitch today and why he has suddenly become the 'boo' boy is beyond me. He wasn't the worst player at the Euros either so I just wish people would get off his back. (JMHO)

I think he's on self destruct mode. He knows that Pep wants his keeper to retain possession and distribute it out from the back but oh no, Joe fucking twats it upfield nearly every time, losing possession straight away.

if there are no passes on what js he meant to do ?

 

[Exeter Blue I am here]

How did Nolito do? (Couldn't watch the game:)

Lightweight and slower than a sloth carrying an anvil

free shot from a player with enough time to take not one but two touches to set himself.........awful wide open defence, a keeper may get to those once in a while and save them but more times than not they go in regardless. .....watch the training videos from the last week and see how many go in when the players have no defenders in front of them....just like in todays match which is absolutely criminal

See, that's what I'm talking about. You think keepers might stop that once in a while? It was a good height and close enough for him to get a strong hand.

You clearly didn't watch Mane running Barcelona ragged yesterday and have also forgotten his hat trick against us in April. He might not be Kun/Lewandowski/Suarez elite level, but I'd happily have him in our squad. Strong, quick, skilful, works his bollocks off, scores goals. Which part do you not like?

The part that him signing for Liverpool means they have had a better window than us.

Oh and the part that prior to scoring against us he hadn't scored for about 5 months...

FFS the pressing was just as bad as under Pellers. Aguero running his bollocks off at their fullbacks who then had easy passes cos our lot either could not or would not mark their midfielders tightly to cut off the possibility of a pass. As for Kolarov as a footballing centre half, give me strength.

This is absolutely not true. We were mugging Arsenal time & time again first half. Some of the players ran out of energy but it's not true there is no diference.

We can hardly get our gander up in champions league semi finals, what else would you expect from this bunch in a meaningless friendly. Not worried in the least

 

[waspish]

Personally I'm sick of this pressing game and leaving us wide open at the back football.

If we dont have the right players it does not work!

That season we won the league under Mancini fcuk me we were solid at the back and When we went 1-0 up I was 100% confident we wouldnt concede. Might just me looking back all gooey eyed though.
