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

[Kippax77]

Pigmol want a draw

For the rag members of its board

 

[BlueBanger]

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

I mean he gets his shot away, the ref played advantage until the ball was cleared...ederson wipes the lad out.

It sucks big time but we'd expect a pen the other way round.

[malg]

Not sure what people think is corrupt. Was it the pen?

 

[Brendan110_0]

Not seen a decision that bent since the Rashford ghost offside

If Arsenal get ahead they'll send an Arsenal player off. They want a draw so United are "in the race", no better than WWF, this isn't sport.

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.

I’d put Ortega on as well.
I love Eddie but he’s on a yellow is an easy target for a bent ref and IMO there’s not much between Ortega and Eddie nowadays anyhow (except that yellow card).

 

[Lowtower]

Bernado needs to come off.
Doesn’t help us that we stupidly got Walker booked.

 

[bernard o'silver]

What happens if that shot goes in? Penalty given? Surely it’s one or the other - not both?

Definitely feels like anything that’s in the slightest bit of a grey area goes against us. Rashford’s offside then this tonight. In big games.

Strange, that.

Fodens goal disallowed at anfield as well

 

[Blu1]

I am not too keen on that style either but if it gets Haaland more chances then it so be it.

I’m not sure we are even looking for haaland. We are just hoofing it & hoping

 

[HypnoticBlue]

I hope cheating the bald, m***** cünt who’s running the game gets cancer of the cock and d1es a horrible death 5 mins before the 2nd half starts, cheating rag b4stard.

 

[Millwallawayveteran1988]

It was nice of Ederson to point where Saka should put the ball .

I know. Idiot.

 

[MadchesterCity]

Arsenal will win, it’s been decided by the powers at play

 

[Nascent Blues]

The question isn't: 'Was it a penalty?'; the question is: 'Which teams do not get that given against them?', and we all know the answer to that question.

 

[GaudinoMotors]

It is the overwhelming opinions of it’s a stonewall penalty that makes it even more ridiculous.

Every punch out by a keeper should be a pen now. Just stand in the keepers path at corners and "stonewall" pen now then.

 

[BerkshireBlue]

I've seen strikers having a shot, missing chances and getting wiped out by the keeper thousands of times and it's never been a penalty before

 

[Bald fraud]

For the rag members of its board

Yep

 

[Manc Born & Bred]

For those of you who think it’s a penalty show me another example of when a penalty has been given for a similar challenge?

 

[01282]

Can we get Duncan Davidson out of retirement as he’d do a better job than grealish and mahrez.

 

[domalino]

Grealish off for Foden.

Mahrez off and switch Bernie to that side.

Laporte on and shift Ake to left full back.

Need to have more going the other way, rather than our backs to goal.

Grealish is the only one at the races, I can't comprehend why anyone would want him off.

 

[Fordyboy46]

We always seem to make every game look like the opposition have an extra player, this season has been as poor as Pep's first one. We need that major overhaul in the summer if possible
