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

[BlueBanger]

Alvarez for mahrez, and foden for gundogan. This game can change.

 

[mancity2012_eamo]

We've played pretty well against 12 men
3 yellow cards for us and a penalty for them.
I really hope we've got dirt on these cheating corrupt cunts.

Bernardo’s was coming although the yellow he got was a follow through from Saka. Bernardo was stood still.
Similar to the penalty which was ridiculous. It was a follow through on the keeper. Only given because Ake brilliantly cleared it off the line.
Eddie’s yellow? Yes he was warned but when have you ever seen an opposition keeper warned and booked with 20 minutes gone in the first half. No keeper over the last 10 years would last against us if this was normal.

Walker yellow is us being totally brain dead. What the fuck was Rodri doing. Walker has been put under awful pressure now.

We are generally disorganised. Penalty or not, Eddie was too late in going for the ball. He should have stayed at his front post. He’s looking slow and tentative.

 

[give it to gordon]

If you look at the arsenal players they think it's a foul against them. Not one player thought it was a penalty

 

[blueabdi]

When pep will learn that grealish and mahrez can nt play together.
Grealish off for foden, bernardo for laporte

 

[Nellies left peg]

Haha…..Shilton, he used to dive with his head and not even get his arms outstretched when facing a pen

Better technique than Eddie, just point where to put it and I’ll go the opposite way ffs

 

[Akiva]

Ederson stood his ground. The collision came about AFTER the shot and as the attacker shot his momentum took him into Ederson.

100% NOT a penalty.

This is what people don't seem to get.

THIS SITUATION HAPPENS ALMOST EVERY WEEK IN THE PL AND IS NEVER A PENALTY.

You think they're going to start giving these from now on? Are they fuck. Only against City.

 

[hammocity]

Ederson coming out to clear the ball and missed. 100% a pen

Was it fuck, ball had gone and the Tarquin runs into Eddie, no way we get that Penalty against any other Premier team.

 

[super_city_si]

just dont concede anymore, ill take the draw

another half like that and not much chance

 

[Aba452]

We may not have been great but lovely piece of skill from KdB. We finished strongly against the current leaders.

But that penalty saka gone past edy, already played the ball - then clatters into edy?????? Shambolic decision from someone with long form for shafting us.

Stay strong and try not to end up with 9 men. Don't think a draw would be a disaster.

 

[Lowtower]

Me too

He wasn’t waved back on by the ref and then played the ball

 

[Allnightlong]

It was a dodgy penalty. If Ederson was at fault where's the second yellow??

apparently not intentional....but a foul is a foul and should have been a yellow. not that i thought it was pen.

 

[Impeccable One]

Ederson stood his ground. The collision came about AFTER the shot and as the attacker shot his momentum took him into Ederson.

100% NOT a penalty.

Not quite … Ederson went in to their attacker, admittedly after he’d hit the shot

 

[nellyonthewing]

That was his plan, point to the right and jump to the left. Genius

Jump is pushing it more of a flop.

 

[deegee33]

Absolutely this. We have as many spunk bubble fans as Red Cafe these days.

Rarely come in to this thread, read that.... won't be back to this thread today.
Talk to you lads over in post-match, have fun.

 

[Blu1]

Poor first half from city, dont think many can argue we're still nowhere near our best with this set up.
Ederson's timing and decisions of when to come out/ close the angle down/ stay on his line are absolutely horrific and its costing us every game. Never a pen but you have to ask why hes even there when nketiah is at that angle? No Keeper should be getting beat from there

Yep

 

[axlgod]

Came back on the pitch without the referee's permission.

ahh ok thanks.

 

[LongsightM13]

Me too

He stupidly came back on and played the ball when he hasn’t been called on by the ref. Though Rodri was equally stupid passing it to a player who was off the pitch at the time

 

[M Gaudino]

overall think that as the game slows down we should control it. we have struggled with their energy and they’ve intercepted shit loads of passes.

Bernie needs to avoid Saka. Taylor is gagging for a red

 

[GaudinoMotors]

Hate it when our keeper goes the wrong way from a penalty.

He was even pointing there. The mind game backfired somewhat, hope he doesn't play poker.

 

[buckshot]

I know it would be hard to pull off but is there any chance they go back and disallow KDB's goal?
