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

[Blu1]

Shocked no foden

 

[wolviedinho]

Any Rodri news?

 

[SWP's back]

Hope everyone who was up for the "lack of control" without Jack, in the pre-match thread, is happy.

Jack offers no more control but with the added benefit of no threat.

Also their two goals were a left back from 25 yards and a corner. How would Grealish have stopped either of those you moron?

 

[Frank the Yank]

Our corners are wank! It wouldn’t make a jot of of difference.

That’s the spirit!! Don’t disagree but let’s try it anyways..

 

[Jung the foreman]

Odds on there was gonna be a sending off. Just suprised it was an Arsenal player.

 

[SebastianBlue]

rat and that **** on tv thinks it’s eddies fault

I love that take.

What is he meant to do, fling them out of the way or charge through them, shoulder lowered?

He’d give away a fucking penalty.

And that is exactly why Arse employ those corner tactics.

Sometimes they will be given as a foul, sometimes they won’t (there is absolutely no consistency, even within matches themselves, from officials), but it always heavily advantages the attacking team.

So when it isn’t called, you increase your chances of scoring substantially.

That is not to say we defended those two corners well—we didn’t.

But allowing the opposition to surround the keeper, with absolutely no recourse to do anything about it, is making a farce of the laws of the game.

 

[Wellsblue21]

Well who did? He didn't just go down without contact

It wasn’t deliberate was jostling for space

 

[Brewster's millions]

Hopefully we don’t have to wait half an hour before we see Foden.

 

[01cravend]

Get another striker on after 70mins if still the same....ohh wait!! Lol

 

[Mancini’s Pastilles]

Im ready for pelters here. But i dont rate Doku. Certainley not as a starter anyway
