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

[SamBlue]

We were lucky to be one nil up, we were the second best in all aspects of the game. Pep is killing this season with his tactics. With no blue tinted glasses on that was 99% penalty for them. With Haaland on this formation we play with 9 players. I don't expect any dramatic improvement, unless he completely tears up this formation and make three subs at least. Haaland on just doesn't work in these type of games.

 

[HelloCity]

I don’t blame him. The shit he got off City fans while he was our player was a disgrace at times.

Not as bad as he got at Arsenal. :)

I’d also argue he was popular player here on the whole. Hardly a boo boy.

 

[vmsuhail]

Can’t argue with facts, however the time wasting yellow that early is a wrong decision.

Unfortunately, referees favouring Arsenal today is a Fact.

 

[I'm Blue]

I don't get alot of people saying we've been shit and they've dominated us.
It's been a close game and if it wasn't for the one sided referee we'd be comfortable.
Summed up by a goal keeper getting booked halfway through the first half for time wasting.
That pen is a joke.

 

[HypnoticBlue]

I wish for once that Pep would call them all out for the bullshit officiating and take the fines, I don’t want us to play the slow game of possibly having a dossier that we might use in 5 years time to call and end to it, I want us to react and kick the f*** off and put the fear of god in these cheating cünts.

 

[Goater=Legend]

Clichy has nailed down his colours.

‘We’ for Arsenal and ‘them’ for City.

Why wouldn't he be more of an Arsenal fan than us?

 

[tolmie's hairdoo]

This and we win game imo

Reduces the red card risk and both Foden and Bernie will help out the full back areas.

 

[IcriedwhenTueartleft]

Bernardo is still on the pitch....that's a big gamble, one more run from Saka at him and he could be in trouble

 

[Beanhead]

They look like they’ve been on the scouse inhalers

Either that or they are a lot younger.. wait a minute.

 

[Chi-town blues]

yellow for time wasting in the 35th minute is the best. how many fucking times have we put up with ridiculous level and fuck all unitl the 85th minute?

spot on

 

[Gundogan's Moustache]

Arteta and Arsenal can both fuck off, both love to play the poor victim card

 

[hihosilva]

Awful pen decision. I wonder how may Arsenal fans were shouting Penalty at the time, Not many i expect.

 

[Blu1]

Hopefully Pep's had the chance to see what's going on and made adjustments to suit.

Nope

 

[buckshot]

So wait, the same league that has been working non-stop to get City demoted is also helping their opponents on the pitch? I am SHOCKED!!!

 

[Zenmanc]

If an opposing keeper has knocked down our player and clearly had their momentum keep moving such that that attacker had no place to go... We'd yell and cry and wet our pants asking for a penalty as in that situation It's a foul, a foul in the box is a penalty. Ederson historically isn't exactly the smartest in making the best decisions regarding his body control... it precedes him and doesn't exactly slow the pointing to the spot.

can we fucking move on, support vs slag off the team or does it make you feel better to write them off in advance of the 2nd half to be able to say you were right?

 

[Big Yaya Wilko 12]

Not playing well.

Getting shafted by the officials.

Same old, same old.

 

[frothy]

There’s at least one “controversial” decision in literally every game we play. Now call me cynical, but it isn’t “incompetence” law of averages you might get one every few games. It’s not even subtle anymore, it’s blatant.

This is only the second game Home and Away we have missed this season, but I'm having serious doubts whether to bother next season it's just fucking bent

 

[Fordyboy46]

Time to step it up city

 

[handsofstone]

Watch Pep make his first change in the 88th min when we are 3-1 down and have 10 men

 

[01cravend]

Ederson has literally jumped into him, it's a pen, and it's Ederson at his moronic norm.
