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

Laporte has to come on and Ake left back at half time before Bernardo gets sent off. That 100% has to happen. I'd want Bernardo in midfield ideally but can't now with him being on a yellow.

Midfield has been shit, we've barely had the ball in there and when we have, it's slow, our midfield 3 should never in a million years be getting dominated by their midfield but it's happening.

Haaland looks a mence upfront, they're shit scared of him but we need to provide him with something he can actually score from and he also desperately needs runners off him, kdb, Grealish, mahrez are nowhere near him when it goes into him.

Can't see us even taking a point from this unless there's a big improvement.

Completely unbias, of course :)

Steve Howie, Paul Dickov and Kolo Toure.

These Amazon cunts now calling for Ederson to be sent off for it

Laporte on and Gundogan off

Go back to a back 4 and get Berny moving in the middle with Rodri

Gundogan can't cover ground in there, he's so slow and can't even make a pass out there so not entirely sure why he's on the pitch

Yep,its been gone for couple of seasons now.

I fear it's more to do with aging players and the capacity to press rather than any tactical instructions.

How much does it cost to buy Pigmol ? Sell a player buy a ref it makes more football sense than buying a left back .

It’s a soft penalty but it’s a penalty. Eddie was not even looking at the ball.

There will be at least an extra 10 penalties per weekend if that’s the case. Utter nonsense.

Someone just needs to give ederson a few slaps in the face. He's fucking all over the place. I can't remember the last time he saved a penalty, he's awful 1v1 and he's making really sloppy mistakes like the yellow card for time wasting and giving away goals vs Spurs.

He's got all the talent to be the best in the world, he just can't seem to be fucked.

Though Arsenal may deserve it, they should not be back in the game. Their energy levels and movement are way above ours, today, and it is unlikely that the players on the pitch can raise them. This is a game for substitutions and a conventional back four, shifting Ake and bringing on Laporte. Bernie is in danger, as is Walker, so Foden and Lewis for me, the latter at right back and Foden into right midfield, with Kyle, Riyad and Bernie off.

Just a thought but should he have send Ederson of aswell then ?????

Deemed careless not reckless
