Match Thread | Man City vs Arsenal FACup (27/01/23)

[Goldust]

I think the midfield could do with some energy, it’s clearly obvious bernado is off and maybe gundogan. Make a statement and beat Chelsea to Fernandez

 

[Len Rum]

I’m on my way round with a bag of beers. Is the moon out tonight?

No, bit misty here.
But bring the beers round anyway!

 

[daveiw01]

Bring Alvarez if only for his running

Let’s not sleep walk ala Southampton out of a cup

I know it's a Cup game and perhaps Pep sees it as resting him, but for me, it's a no brainer, he should be involved much much more.

 

[jollylescott]

We’ve played rope a dope in the first half. I think we’ll win it from here. 2-0 City.

 

[yeseye]

That bouncer is ready for action!

 

[Kippax77]

On the sniff? FFS, Stones is an excellent defender, but unfortunately made of glass.

Whats sniff?

 

[I'm Blue]

PRIDE IN BATTLE
Want it ffs

What bothers me the most here is not just this game, it’s the wider picture. We have been kidding ourselves that we will turn over the gunners and this title in the two league games we are yet to play. Arsenal have stolen a march on us over the summer and a lot of us posters on here thought we could afford to let them have Jesus and Zinchenko.

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

Not one player on that pitch from either side had anywhere bloody near a great half.

 

[cookster]

I said something similar after the Wolves game. He played well, saw loads of ball but created next-to-nothing. I was informed my opinion lacked nuance.

His energy masks how poor his end product is.

 

[DavidWhitesUnderpants]

I somehow get the whole argument about changing our play for Erling. But what the fuck happened between the start of the season and now ? We started off great and he was smacking them in all over the shop. What changed ?

 

[Don Karleone]

C'mon City!

 

[Josh_D]

Still have faith in the lads. Come on lads!!

 

[super_city_si]

Not one player on that pitch from either side had anywhere bloody near a great half.

Ortega probably the closest. But no outfield player

 

[paulchapo]

Arsenal's second string more than holding their own. We need a big uptake of energy this half.

 

[deano ou812]

Not being entitled and a trophy is a trophy but I couldn’t be arsed with a replay so either win tonight or go out ..

 

[Bald fraud]

Come on city! And fuck these pro ars twats off in the itv studio!

 

[remember arthur mann]

There's been a lot of work gone into putting the brake on City, EPL, FA, Pigmol, a lot of effort into analysing our system and how to counter it, been scheming a City demise for ages. Need to be strong, back Pep and fook em off.

 

[christened at st marks]

Kev isn't in the but has the winning pass in him, Gundo to slow for this pace of game

 

[FantasyIreland]

No changes,great.
