Match Thread | Man City vs. Arsenal (31/03/24)

Expected today to be a bit "blood and guts" full-throttle kinda stuff, but looks like a bit more like a pre-season friendly so far.

 

[Stoned Rose]

Going the way I said in the pre match thread.

Keep it controlled and tight and bank on the attacking subs winning the game.

Best I’ve seen Gvardiol play.

 

[Fordyboy46]

Stop showing them too much respect City

 

[heslops barnet]

No it's because it's boring to WATCH

Not if you understand the game

 

[give it to gordon]

Got a feeling gooners will come out all guns blazing in the second half. I've noticed other teams doing this against us lately

Honestly we dont really need subs.

Foden and KdB just need a talking to or something, they are the main issue in our attack.

 

[Damanino]

they completely took Foden, KDb, Haaland out of our game. Arteta done well on that front.
Foden also drifts inside leaving Gvardiol for the left wing but he isnt very creative or a good crosser in general, he wont really make anything with the ball most of the time despite some nice place front of him.

Kovaacic is a safety option giving us bit more safety and control but attacking wise he adds zero.

created fuck all apart from the early close range corner chance from Ake. really poor for our attacking players. one of those games for Haaland again where he is again marked out of even receiving a pass let alone do some damage?

 

[paulchapo]

kovacic off for doku. Doku on the wing and Foden in the centre

We can't now we've lost Ake.

Taylor nailing his colours to the mast again in this fixture I see

 

[Silva&Silva]

I've never seen a team hide behind the ref so much since the murderers back in November
