Match Thread | Arsenal vs. Man City (02/02/25)

[Twisted-wheel]

Get Eddie tied to a new deal or start the search for a new keeper as we cannot rely on ortega, he looks like a rabbit in the headlights and I’m sorry no quality keeper would ever make a pass to a defender running back with two men on him

 

[TFC]

He is utter gash, a reason he played for lower clubs in Germany, super no2 but that's it.

I was all for him earlier in the season when Eddie was wobbling all over the place, but fucking hell poor today :(

 

[Franknorgrovesnephew]

Come on city

 

[Keeper!]

Lets go boys. Hit the smelling salts at the half and get in this.

we should be dry buming this lot, you can smell the fear, keep it tight for a few minutes then go for it.

 

[Chak19]

Good job were playing the tarquins then.

Yeah we haven't beaten them mate.

 

[VOOMER]

Skin of the teeth season. If we get a European place it'll be due to other sides being naff rather than our playing. Great players who can't gel together and keep making stupid mistakes. I love Josep but you have to admit cohesion and tactics are his responsibility - and he hasn't had a good season at all

So true as all our players have been fit and have stopped ageing.

 

[Allnightlong]

fucking touch time line
what a bunch of wankers

 

[RobinHood]

Haaland getting the stat treatment like no other.

 

[hertsblue]

Ref keeps giving them though.

Its the difference is us trying to be nice that does not work. Klopp, Ferguson and others would mention their antics enough prior to the game for the ref to be aware . We just bend over and accept things making a refs job easy. Give the decision against City= no fuss or comeback or against Arsenal= players, coach and media having a go

 

[ali benarbia's studs]

Still in this ....haven't been totally overwhelmed like in other games. We can still turn this around, just in time for Arsenal s title challenge collapse.


Come on You Blues!!!!!!

 

[youngbob]

Gabriel and Saliba are there to pin Haaland.

Grealish or De Bruyne on for him. Marmoush up front.

 

[ninjamonkey]

these early brainfucks are crazy especially in big games. Khusanov last week, Akanji last week. major error in first 5 mins.. why do we do this to ourselves.

Because pep insists on us playing that way despite the fact we are now poor at it and all the top teams are desperate for us to do it so they can force fuck ups.

 

[mancityscot]

Smash them in the second half Erl!

 

[daveiw01]

I watching on Optus Sports so no … he’s morphed into Lee Bradbury again, as he’s done on several times when we play at this pedestrian pace.

Perhaps the pedestrian pace is the issue then, and not Big Earl????

 

[Macca77macca]

Oh for gods sake calm the fuck down

We were 1-0 down at half time v Bruges, 1-1 V Chelski.

I trust.

 

[MCFC1993]

They're obsessed with Haaland's touches.

In the modern game against a low block, strikers don't touch the ball often.

 

[TFC]

Erling out
KdB in
Marmoush on 9

This is what I would like to see, would completely change the CB gameplan. They've got it easy right now.

 

[burning blue soul]

2 things.
1. Haaland not getting many touches is not the fault of Haaland. The supporting cast is there to get the ball to him.
2. It strikes me that Arse are playing to defend their lead. Playing on the break and drawing us forwards. The same tactics used by everyone these days. If we equalise, I believe they will move up a gear and get another. They should have at least 2 goals already with that plan.

 

[madloaf]

Are we still doing haaland doesn't touch the ball a lot stats? These cunts are fucking cunts. Cunts.

How many times will 5hese cheating cockney wankers have cramp
