Match Thread | Man City vs. Arsenal (22/09/24)

[lasereyes]

Good atmosphere at the ground bad refs always fire us up, Oliver has been terrible the sending off evened things up but it was deserved

So it didnt even things did it?

I'll be in the minority with this for my Trossard opinion.
Oliver has lost this game completely and has reffed it appallingly - sorry but sending Trossard off for that is ridiculous. If he's booking him for that then Doku should have gone in the book earlier.
Atrocious.
Arsenal first goal should never have stood for 2 reasons:
Walker not given time to get back in position (although he's been poor 1st half especially 2nd goal where he seems more intent on touching up Gabriel)
Taken from nowhere near the correct spot
Hey ho

It was 8 yards away..no where near.

I know the goons are down to ten but I reckon second half will be frustrating to fcuk. Ultra defensive time wasting will happen now.

Sad but true.

Oliver is out of his depth here. He has made decisions that he could have looked at on Var and decided himself. Decision he could have reversed but didn’t.
Absolute wanker

If Oliver is the best we have it shows exactly what a shit show of an organisation the PL is. It's taken him an hour to show us he has a pair.

Prior to that, the free kick that led to their first was more or less taken behind his back. He pulled Kyle out of position and then allowed the kick to be taken. I don't know if it was from the right place or not, that may be another issue.

Seems we no longer know what is or isn't a foul on the keeper any more too. Edi's taken out for the second goal, but that's clearly an Arse tactic, little niggly fouls that go unnoticed. Rodri twice prior to that...

 

[Eric Hitchmough]

Merson, Walcott, Keane and an ex-Blue who calls us “Man City” and sucks Carragher’s ball sack at every given opportunity.

 

[platty7]

It's martineli who needs blocking off from getting near edersdon on corners they play it deep and block off the keeper so he can't back peddle

 

[madloaf]

No mention of the haverts incident in the analysis

Why would they? The commentary is fucking embarrassing. The whole thing is anti-city. It's not even subtle anymore. Even carragher fucking tongue in cheek says "We're neutrals" and the silence is fucking deafening. Unprofessional fucking cunts.

 

[supercity88]

Got to be miles better from the set pieces. Crowd need to keep on at the ref here, joke to allow them to take that quick free kick, even if Walker needs a fucking slap for being so slow to get back.

Got so much quality on the bench got to fucking pepper them and make them pay in this second half.

 

[jamielowndes]

Bollocks, players stand their ground and ederson crumbles. Walker meanwhile just lets Gabriel run 12 yards for a free header. Shite

You can't run 10 yards to stand your ground. He's turned his back and blocked Ederson. That's a foul.

Doesn't mean Walker didn't get embarrassed by Gabriel, but its still a foul.

 

[Paul1970]

Exactly. Walker switched off and was to blame for both goals.

And he’s our captain
