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

Joe Hart going off about the Arsenal goal when Walker was out of position. He says Oliver got it completely wrong by calling Walker over and then not allowing Kyle to get back into position.

That’s Joe going that same way as buzzer

 

[yeah whatever !!]

Said before the match watch the cornets.

Ice creamed at the telly when it went in.

 

[give it to gordon]

Maybe but the second yellow was for kicking it away to delay the restart.

Was it who says ?

 

[SWPISHOME]

Just seen them blocking off Ederson. Blatantly back into him to prevent him from getting to the ball. But you know if one of our players had done the same to Gabriel to prevent the run, he'd go down and it'd be a penalty. That's what pisses me off about corners these days. The inconsistency between attackers and defenders.

They've found a way to get around not making it blatantly obvious blocking off keepers, I agree with what you're saying, Teams must find a way to deal with Arsenal's set pieces, My main concern was Walker just letting Gabriel go, It wasn't good enough.

 

[footballmanager]

Pep hasn’t made many mistakes in his career but going out for sushi and bending over backwards for Walker is high up the list.

nevermind his awful behaviour off the pitch but ok, people like to sugar coat it here

 

[madloaf]

They do it all the time. It's a good tactic as they're scoring goals from those corners.

It's a good tactic if it's not punished, which is fine, we're not savvy enough to wrestle people to the ground like Haaland is every fucking corner.

 

[paulchapo]

To be honest although panda eyes going off is obviously a good thing I'm not sure we will benefit from it. They'll defend like they do and still have enough threat to hurt us on the break.

 

[wolviedinho]

The ball has spent far too much time with Walker, Dias, gvardiol.

We need to make sure we don’t just pass it about between the defenders looking for a perfect pass.

Get the ball moving fast and run at arsenal

 

[01cravend]

why ist Haaland trying to mark Gabriel. we need to fire set piece coach as we rarely score from corners while other teams do it regularly.

Why isn't it obvious that with all the Arsenal at back stick that Gabriel is going there again? Kyle needlessly buys the dummy and we've not loaded that area ourselves.. Just awful all round

 

[Keeper!]

Bernardo, Gundo dont impose themselves much in terms of control. could be a game for Grealish and Foden.

Gundo is looking all of his 33 years
