Match Thread | Man City vs Arsenal (18/01/15)

[MeatnSpudsMCFC]

our parts of the ground are emptying with 4 minutes to go....show of unity lads, show of unity

Doesn't matter when the players are not out there...

 

[TCIB]

Not good enough in the final third today and a bit headless.

Funny old game.

 

[rnblade]

Well these things happen, time to move on. So what do we do at Stamford bridge? Do we go all out or do we play for a point?

Just think we need to salvage something after today.
A point at Chelsea is no easy task.

 

[Ray78]

Poor. Too much pressure on us going into the Chelsea game.

 

[Txiki Txiki Bang Bang]

No complaints Arsenal much better. Stumbled along last few weeks & no it's caught up with us.

Arsenal excellent today. Game plan executed perfectly.

Were they REALLY excellent ? I think two ridiculous mistakes cost us this game. One from Vinny and the other from Fernando / Hart , they both had a hand in the second goal.

 

[BigOscar]

Amazing how all the people rallying against people being called rags have low post counts, what are the odds? To be fair, I don't think all these people are rags, I think some are pathetic, spoilt flappers instead

They were. Completely smothered any of our attacking threats.

Did we have any attacking threats?

Aguero and Kompany need to get their fitness up. Hit the gym and practice in extra time.

Navas needs to spend like 90 hours this week working on finishing.

I think Jov should be started more often.

And ffs figure out those corners...

A bad performance is a bad performance. Stating it doesn't make you a flapper or a rag. Unfortunately we're no where near last season. That seeing a realist not a flapper.

 

[Txiki Txiki Bang Bang]

Lets hope we see a line up of Jovetic, SIlva and Milner behind Aguero in the game against Chelsea. I think we have given Navas too many chances to prove himself. Its time he goes.

 

[Dax777]

If we lose the league, it would be a function of poor decisions we made in the summer. Instead of Spending 65 million on Fabregas and Sanchez, we purchased 3 backups and kept the change. That was when we lost the league.

Its funny how Navas gets to stroll into the team while players like Schurlle can't even get into the Chelsea team. Time for a rethink Manuel.

Schurlle is average aswel. No better then Navas.

You can't be serious lol.

 

[@BluePhil8]

Reminds me of the season after we first won it as well.

Everyone spread their cheeks for United and played like their lives depended on it against us.

Same is happening now with Chelsea scoring after 1 minute thanks to appalling errors.

Mate......some on here love their team so much, its impossible for them to admit when we were outplayed and out-coached and today we were both!.....impossible for anyone to make an excuse for this display.....still long way to go this season but going off this performance...we need to do some more shopping......big game today and we didn't have our game face on...poor, very poor....... whether we want to admit or not......

Yes I am. He's very wasteful, just like Navas I suppose. I think I would actually prefer Navas out of the two.

 

[themanc]

our home form is the reason we will not win league. to many points dropped

Think you might be right Mate.....Mangala hasn't started well and Arsenal made Fernando look really poor in parts of todays game....Maybe we should be looking for a Koke type player even if Yaya stays next season....we need someone else who can control the middle....Cazorla ran the show in the midfield today and made us look bad....
