Match Thread | Arsenal vs Man City (15/02/23)

Ridiculous decision aside - I thought we started fairly well, but they’ve certainly been the better side for the last 25 mins or so.
Gundogan and De Bruyne have been especially poor - not sharp enough and given away cheap ball. Ake has been superb, again.

There is no obligation to move out of the way of a player running straight at you terrible decision.

 

[Mancityus]

You want a decision to go a certain way - Anthony Taylor is your man.

Yet again Pigmol re-writing football to fuck City, them kind of penalties never ever get given, ever! If it was the other way round it’d be a coming together, Ederson is grounded & not in the air, as a keeper he’s entitled to stand his ground, doesn’t matter how he got there…fuckin cheats

We started the half well and ended the half well but for about half an hour we lost control of the game and then it was just far too fast for us.

In that middle half hour we looked second best by a long way.

We’ve just popped up a couple of times and looked dangerous but we haven’t been good. And we were gifted the goal.

We scored too early. It altered our mentality and since then they have shown that they really are the better team this season. Pre-goal our tactics were working but then everything changed once we had something to lose.

Wonder if we’ll benefit from these new rules that have come in today that sees goalkeepers penalised for time wasting and standing in the area?

 

[Double R]

Even Gary Neville saying its not a pen. Its a shocking decision.

 

[itsnevereasy]

You know the game is bent when Duncan Castles is calling that out. Not even the Arsenal players or fans called for that pen.

HT...not great from us at all. Some poor performances, Bernardo not at the races and heading for a red unless he comes off. Been rubbish since we scored, can't make more than 2/3 passes.
Absolutely ridiculous penalty decision. Another huge decision against us away in a big match.
