[Vienna_70]

I’ve muted the TV because I don’t want to listen to the dog wanker!

 

[Barcon]

Thought I'd pop in at half time. Still full of bed wetting cunts I see.

 

[SidJames]

Positives are we are not losing.

Ortega has made 2 very good saves.

Arsenal even with 6 changes still look a very capable side.

Arsenal side are younger and hungrier.

We look like a Prize Fighter who is in decline sadly.We have done all season.Still dangerous,we can get a good 45 minutes out of the team in games here and there.

Hopefully we will get a good second half 45 minutes.

Worst midfield we had in years. Gundogan is completely ineffective, Rodri is tidy but needs players near him, KDB has gone off a cliff. No real options, Foden injured and Bernardo has pretty much downed tools. Guardiola has to find some inspiration and energy. Being bested by Arsenals second string.

Didn’t realise Kev was playing

 

[Trojan1962]

We will see if the City board want us to remain a top team by the players we bring in during the summer.

 

[jimmygrimblesboots]

Trossard has given him the run around.

Need Walker on to keep Trossard on a tight leash , he will hurt us if he gets the same amount of space in the 2nd half.

 

[thanatos]

Thought Grealish had a great half. Needs to get the ball more

 

[citymad]

We really need to stop playing backwards so much!

Peps been watching the Ray Wilkins football skills video.

 

[wattle]

Which one?

The one that wants to stay? He’s gone hasn’t he

 

[Len Rum]

Painted the front door today with a thick oil based gloss which takes a long time to dry.
So if we don't improve I'll think I'll go and watch that.

 

[BLUEisville]

Was hoping we'd put down a marker this game and give the Tarquins a little doubt in the back of their mind.

 

[chris85mcfc]

Can't play worse in the 2nd half, it'd be almost impossible

We've literally no pace or dynamism in the side

Someone on here laughably told me that pace wouldn't make a difference in our wide men, and yet Trossard has skinned our full back 2 or 3 times in that half

We are crying out for pace in the front 6, we don't do anything quickly. To say that the only way to keep control is by having players like Gundogan, Mahrez, Grealish is a joke, there's numerous top players who are quick and keep the ball well

This squad needs a fairly big overhaul

 

[come-on-barney]

Thought I'd pop in at half time. Still full of bed wetting cunts I see.

Why did you pop in to say that. Laters.

 

[Ederson1000YardDrive]

No real options, Foden injured and Bernardo has pretty much downed tools. Guardiola has to find some inspiration and energy. Being bested by Arsenals second string.

My thoughts exactly. Midfield has gone to shit.

KDB and Gundo can both produce out of nothing but other than that absolutely out of the game. No control.

Trossard is defo going to score or assist. Rico out of his comfort zone tonight.

 

[Hayley Croppers chopper]

Don’t disagree, he’s had maybe 1 season uninterrupted during his time, other reasons alluded to, however, when he’s good we have always looked more solid, it’s just his Achilles heel that he never seems to be able to sustain staying fit!

Thought it was his hamstring not his achilles?

 

[Metal Biker]

Thought I'd pop in at half time. Still full of bed wetting cunts I see.

you cannot say you enjoyed that with a straight face

 

[Fordyboy46]

Just so fucking boring, surprised at our total lack of tempo. We don't look the slightest bit arsed sadly

 

[jimharri]

Thought I'd pop in at half time. Still full of bed wetting cunts I see.

Yep. It'll never change.

 

[jaiguruKun]

Need a Pep rocket and Alvarez on asap.

 

[I'm Blue]

Pep’s halftime team talk will be these are there for the taking…..so will Arteta’s
