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

[brummie blue]

On the management this. They knew arsenal will setup like this for the second half and if we fail to break through we'll be playing against low blocks all season

Just like Milan on Wednesday.

Pep has two flaws, working out how to break down teams that play like this,
and set pieces - both our own and defending them.

 

[handsofstone]

These subs are ass

 

[Pingu the Penguin]

Pep going with the players he trusts

 

[brettplane]

we are so slow, piss easy this for arsenal.

It was the same against Inter, against packed defences we are too slow, letting them get reset in position. It needs pace and incisiveness

 

[Eccles Blue]

John Boy’s on. Well do it now!!!

 

[Gabriel]

An Alvarez/Bobb type player needed.

 

[TFC]

Very frustrating. Fucking come on City, we need to crush these cunts dreams. Again.

 

[Dewey6]

Why is it just Dias and Kova with space outside? Put someone there that can put his foot through it. Where's Kolarov?

 

[jollylescott]

Come on Jack earn your keep

 

[Blu1]

Let’s get jack & Phil on & still let defenders try to create. Very poor from pep today

 

[ScottSinclair]

This is so unbelievably shite this

 

[Blue Llama]

All the long shots being taken by defenders.

 

[Chippy_boy]

Would it be silly of me to suggest we might try running at players in the box? I have know a thing called a penalty to be given in the past.

 

[M Gaudino]

stop fucking shooting when its not on ffs

 

[Tuearts right boot]

We just need the kitchen sink and we've cracked it.

 

[ufo]

without kdb we are out of ideas

 

[Macca77macca]

Got a shot on him..
Knows where the goal is.
Thought he might have come on sooner for akanji or Ruben seens as the tactic is for a defender to have a shot..

Plays exceptional under pressure
Knows how play out

The disrespect to John from this fan base makes me puke tbh

 

[BlueMonkey79]

Couldn't hit a barn door from range today.

 

[paulchapo]

Such a disappointing result after brilliant start. Rodri's injury shook us up and they capitalised on it. I fucking hate the dark art cunts but we'd be ecstatic with a win like this.

 

[homerdog]

Not one of our team has tried to get the ball to Erling - I know it's difficult, but at least fucking try!
