Match Thread | Arsenal vs Man City (01/01/22)

Probably take a draw at this moment in time unless we shake off this lethargy,Ake looking a bit naive today.

Bernardo also isn't playing his best football - but he helped us during the build-up for number of times..

If it was KDB with his fast crosses - Arsenal would have made more attacks there..

Our build-up isn't as good as it's needed against Arsenal and that's why we need Gundo-Foden and other guys, who are up to the standards..

Ake is shit for buil-up
KDB also lacks pace and everything..
Sterling is good, but Foden is better, so it means that we need Foden as well..

Arsenal plays maybe best football that's needed to stop this City.. So you need your best team against it.
It's not Leicester or Leeds or other third-tier team..

Gundo-Bernardo-Rodri midfield, Foden-Mahrez wings and Walker-Cancelo or Zinchenko as the fullbacks.
Every player that isn't good for build-up, is a liability in these big games.. :(

Beats watching the rags eh? ;)

Fair enough, Saka then.

Some of the calls for Phil are meant as jokes.

Really? I don’t think so.

The stats aren't encouraging. They have lost 12 of the last 15 Premier League matches they were trailing at half-time (W1-D2-L12).

This is also the fourth time this season City have not had a shot on target in the first half of a Premier League match.

So why does that idiot ask on three separate occasions for Foden to be brought on?

May be for frustration ;)

Kevin needs to be taken off... Gives the ball away everytime he has it which led to the first goal and leads to us being on the backfoot all game.

Read that back, just read it back to yourself. Say it out loud.

Take off our most creative player… that will solve it.

Can you not just accept we have been out played in the first half.

 

[Tuearts right boot]

1-0 down at half time in Prem. Don’t we historically struggle to overcome this.

Seems so.

 

[Revolver]

City are deserving to be losing. We can’t win every game and Arsenal are playing well Nothing wrong with officials. The only thing that is fundamentally wrong today is the hideous biased amateurish coverage by BT.

Gundo for KDB please

On 85 mins possibly

De Bruyne is hopeless. He's turning into a one good game in four player.

Overall a very poor performance. Let's hope Arsenal run out of steam before they get a second.

As it stands, we're still in the game. Early goal and we'll win it. If we go two down, we're done for. I don't think we've got three goals in us today.

When we’re not at the races, De Bruyne is the one most likely to create something out of nothing

But we are often not at the races when De Bruyne plays

It’s a weird situation
