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

There's literally no creativity or movement in the middle when in their 3rd. Its try a cross or nothing. Need another body amongst it or a runner(Nunes) to make space.

Always thought this will be an extremely close match. The ref could've given them a booking two, generally think he's been ok. Still all to play for. Maybe...Håland <-> Alvarez & bring Grealish (or Doku) in? Also, Gaby Jesus is still a poor striker!

If you think the ref has done ok in that first 45 mins, you are not watching this game..He’s been appalling ffs..!

No, it isn't.

A draw isn't a disaster but we then need Arsenal and Liverpool to drop points. We've only ourselves to blame for being in a no mistake situation for throwing stupid points away earlier in the season.

 

[Keeper!]

We don't win this, it's over for us. The refs will make sure Liverpool win the league by cheat or crook, nonetheless it will happen. We have to put the pressure on them

Same applies to the arse, shit or bust for both sides this half

That’s understandable because Dias isn’t that good on the ball. He’s struggling to break the lines hence Kovacic has to sit even deeper to help in build up, Rodri being used more advanced for odd in the box opportunity

Yep, should have added it's the Stones injury is what's killing us. Don't blame Pep, can just see where it's hurting us up front.

Foden very quiet IMO, Haaland not dynamic enough not troubling the center backs to create chances or draw defence to him for there to be chances for other players.

Haaland has been in a couple of good positions if we try an early through ball but our players never spot it, it's the same every game.

I know we play a possession game but sometimes I think that's so drilled into our players that they don't look ahead enough and spot Haaland ready to make a run.

 

[SWPISHOME]

Lewis and his lack of height and strength could cost us, they will target him 100%

He had to play the ball wide to Bernardo in that move just before half time, It was the first time all half we moved the ball quickly and managed to suck Kiwior into a centre back position.

Arsenal are a big side and set pieces could be the decisive factor in this game.

We have not looked the team that used to rip teams apart for some time, far too one paced and predictable

We are relying on Dias to create as all our creative players are way too high up the pitch. Kev needs to drop
