City v Arsenal pre-match thread

[Chi-town blues]

We didn't win

We didn't lose but the gooners lost.

just read the last couple of dozen posts , cheered me up no end , it appears the best coach in the world with some of the best players in the premiership are now total dogshit . Anyone got the number of the samaritans ? Merry Fucking Xmas.

Step back and ask why most are so pessimistic?
Just for myself. Primarily because we dont have a good enough keeper. Also I think we should have addressed the defence PRE-SEASON.
I also think expectations were too high - but why not. We spent a fortune..and to date little return. It reminds me of brexit lots of suggested benefits nothing tangible and 10 years to wait. Given my age I want it now.
Lets hope Jesus is the one success! Well I can hope.

Must win game now, the Rags have a fucking dream run coming up and Spurs ain't that difficult either.

I've stopped thinking title and just want top 4 with a decent CL run, how fucking depressing. Merry Xmas ;)

We are still better than what Everton put on field and got 3 points. Forget about who is missing, the 11 on field should be able to get a win.

Doesnt seem to matter who we are better than on paper. Keep saying to myself "we are due a win against a big team" and go into it full of optimism. Im not doing this tomorrow and I hope to be pleasantly surprised.

Just woken up in NZ to find Chelsea have won again and even the rags are on for a third straight win.

Tomorrow is a must win to keep our title hopes alive. Lose and our top 4 chances look shaky.

It could be a long season of that is the case....

Have a feeling it will be 3 at the back tomorrow so we can flood the midfield.

Which wont be a bad thing, they are strong i midfield and Sanchez drops deep going to be tough but hope we can put some chances away, another Chelsea performance but more clinical will do.

I think that Chelsea game is the exact reason he will do it.

Whichever way you look at it we are going into this game severely weakened. Take away any top 4 players from the other title challenging teams and you'd be confident of beating them.

At the same time our record over the last 18 months in these big games is absolutely horrific, injuries or not.

I don't care how we do it, but we just need to win tomorrow to give this squad some belief back for this type of football match moving forwards.

I'll put on my tin hat and you can call me a wet fanny, I'm not normally like this, but I expect them to beat us tomorrow for the reasons above.

Not confident at all. I really can't believe how poor our defence is. Hopefully yer man Guardiola can sort it out.
