Cmooooon Blues!

 

[Keeper!]

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

That fuck needs to worry more about Salford

 

[WestGorton]

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

I agree

 

[SebastianBlue]

I feel the same way. I'm so annoyed by everything in that half I'm trying to start an argument with the fridge.

The sofa is no longer talking to me after that first 52 minutes.

 

[Nellies left peg]

Anyone think Arsenal might try some time- wasting now?

Heaven forbid any shithousery from the kings of it

 

[come-on-barney]

Ball will be in play 20 minutes this half

 

[adr2.8i]

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.

It defies belief that there are rational people who legally subscribe to sly sports

 

[Johnny Mars Bar]

The myth that it's harder to play against 10 men needs to die. The stats show you are a third more likely to win v 10 men. There's no excuse now, we need to go on and get back into this.

File alongside “2-0 is a dangerous score”

I swear most of this shit originates from Ron Manager in the Fast Show.

 

[Phoenix900000]

The abuse Kyle is getting on social media from our fans is dreadful

He is the scapegoat

 

[The Black Shed]

Arsenal's 2nd goal - two players run to obstruct Ederson, clear plan and it worked. If Ederson tried to jump/stretch to fist the ball away it might have had a different VAR outcome.

We're still well in the game with the extra man. Let's be direct in the penalty area and just fucking go for it.

COME ON BLUES!

 

[BringBackSwales]

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
