FA Cup Semi-Final: Arsenal vs Manchester City | Saturday July 18 | KO: 19:45 BST | BT Sport

[The White Pelè]

What a team performance! Can't find any flaw or mistake today. Everyone was 10/10.

Some shaky moments, Auba could have had another 2 goals. Masterclass performance by everyone. Yes there were a few shaky moments in the beginning and some individual errors. There are some positives, everyone seems to be communicating better in defence, shouting at each other. Xhaka absolutely crucial shielding the defence and Lacazette with some good hold up play and releasing the ball well to the wings for the counter.

We should have had atleast 2 more goals.

Arteta is showing himself to be a master tactician for the moment, the players need to do better against other teams. Imagine where we would be now if we hadn't dropped points in must win matches previously.

We had 4 ****s on target, City only had one. Smash and grab? Don’t think so.

City also had 16 shots total (vs. our 4) and 71% possession. They spent a lot of time hanging sketchily around the store window.

Have we already qualified for Europe now?

Even if we don't win the FA Cup now, the winner of it will already be in Europe...does the spot go to the runner up, or to the league places?

Goes to either winner only, after that its league position.

Random but has anyone had issues with changing their avi? Forum literally isn't letting me change mine.

Funny enough, yes. I hope you weren’t trying to change it to the same thing as me

Always liked Raph.

Last however many years of watching us defend leads has been extremely nerve racking and painful to watch, tonight however was not, we looked comfortable and I never thought we were really under threat even though they dominated possession.

I dont think we smash-n-grabbed, robbed or whatever, we defended well and scored 2 good goals, the first goal was built in our own half, City didnt have a clue what to do tonight and that was down to our game plan, City never even looked like scoring.

I wouldnt even say we parked the bus until late, we were by far the more dangerous side even when defending deep.

Yes but we didn't let city play they keep crossing and crossing they never do that even against sit deep Arteta knew how to frustrate them

Afraid not. You need to win to qualify.

Ate too much rubbish while watching the game ffs, ****ed my cut up. Chocolate, cake, cola etc.

Nerves.

Congrats for making into final. Believe it or no, few weeks ago I actually predicted Arsenal vs United in final like the classic FA Cup matches. I just knew Arsenal will beat City because everytime they are so far being favourite, you guys always beat the favourite.

Although, not confident tomorrow for us. We're likely going to use 2nd team and our 2nd team is worse than Chelsea's 2nd team. But then again, Lingard usually score in Wembley so may be he will score the winner.

Spotted him against Liverpool. Think he’ll move on in the summer.

He usually in stands he part of coaching team.

 

[DanDare]

Cant believe I missed the game but was seeing some good friends I haven't seen since pre-lockdown

Watched the highlight and read a bit about it. Sounds like Arteta has instilled how to beat a big team and how to gain our fundamental football back. That's the 1st and 2nd placed team beaten in successio
Arteta masterclass


What a win

Come in the Arsenal!

Have had a few glasses of wine

 

[Lidl_Reed]

Tweet confuses me, how will Solsjaer/Lampard and Arteta have won it once? Even if it counts as a player, surely Arteta's more than one? And if it's only as manager, none of them have 1?

 

[GDeep™]

Pep said they played crap, nah mate, Arteta made you play crap.
