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

[Tricky_Trev]

Will be interesting to see what Arsenal do in the second half. It wouldn’t surprise me if they now switch to a high press against our defence. I remember against Newcastle this season when they sat off first half and then came out really aggressive 2nd half and got loads of joy against us. Arteta could be doing similar, as it takes away Pep’s ability to react to it at HT. They might do, they might not. Just a thought I had, as I expected a high press from the off. But Arteta knows as well as anyone how good Pep is at adapting at HT.

As for us, we’re so limited in what we can do because we have such an average build up from this defence. We can’t get close to their box. Feel like this will be another game where KDB gets taken off (for Doku or Grealish).

Arsenal have done what I thought. Part of a wider game plan from them to play each half differently.

Pep needs to be quiet on this reffing. only to get the same in few games.
