Arsenal playing really well. Glad it's only 1-0 tbh.

We look off the pace and can't get out. Cancelo and Bernie definitely below par so far.

Think the ref's having a very good game too.

Was always going to happen.

We were still playing 72 hours ago, Arsenal have had a nice week off.

You won't hear us complaining about it in the media, though.

Only on this forum

We need to double up at full back stop Martinelli and Saka not take off cancelo.

No, he needs to be pegged back, which is exactly what Walker gives you, the problem we have is the anchor in midfield, can’t get on the ball as they’re pressing well but also man to man on Rodri, Gundogan changes that as kev is playing hide and seek

jesus h. take the tin foil hat off. time was up and he let us have the free kick which was headed away and he blew up. its perfectly fine

End of the day we are getting well beat and if we don’t get our head in the game we will get beat and its not because of any shit ref decisions or arsenal have had more time of than us . Pep will wait till the 60th minute before a change .

Play Sterling on the right?

 

[Burtonblue]

Bernardo looks tired
He needs a rest
Gundogan on for him second half
Getting over run in midfield otherwise

 

[mancity2012_eamo]

Arsenal have outplayed us here. More energy and far less sloppy than we are.


I don't think we can single out individuals fairly as it's a team wide issue.

We’ve been sloppy for a while now and got away with it against teams that can’t pass and move the way Arsenal do.
Can’t keep giving the ball away cheaply to these. They can play and will punish us again.

Sort it Pep.

Getting overrun in midfield. I'd take Kev off and put Gundogan on

 

[Bluearmy]

Foden on at halftime please.

Got Covid
