PL: Arsenal v Manchester City | Sunday, February 21 | KO: 16:30 UTC | Sky Sports

[samshere]

Tierney and Elneny were the worst players on the pitch. Both of them can play better than this.

 

[14Henry]

Hilarious. We lose and you come back

What do you mean we lose and I come back? We have lost many games in the last 2 months I have been taking a break. Have we not? Or have we won every single game? Have results been good week in week out until now?

Wolves?
Villa?
Dumped out of the FA Cup by Soton?
Drew against Palace?
Drew against Benfica?

I have had plenty of opportunity to come back here because we lost.

They’ve got a CL game mid week.

Pep did Arteta a solid here. Nice easy 1-0 defeat rather than the four or five it would’ve been if they tried.

We have an EL game midweek and had one this week. They have two teams. No excuse.

 

[yorch44]

What is wrong with you? First its a CM problem then its Arteta tactics problem, make your mind up.

I see you lack some neurones or you don't understand football at all. The way you use your players and midfield it's a system problem. Get that in your head!! I said we don't have the best players there and the best we have to release pressure he doesn't use it. He likes to play that system where CMs are useless.

 

[al-Ustaadh]

Too many sloppy errors in possession.

That’ll be worked out in time. A lot of the training they seem to be having the players do is to get them to think quickly. Not to mention as we add a few more highly technical players.

 

[Penn_]

Pound for pound this is the worst in my opinion. Constant mis-passing, bad first touches, taking the wrong options, lack of work rate, no aggression. City didn’t have to break sweat for the 3 points.

3-0 at home to Villa far, far worse.

 

[bergholt]

We weren’t even in the game through the second half. They were in control, we were on the defensive, and barely had a sniff of a chance. Supposed to feel happy about that? Don’t think so. The margin was one goal but the gulf between the two sides was enormous.

Well, yeah, we're not that good this season. You didn't realise that until just now?

 

[CaseUteinberger]

Yep, it’s the other 10 games we lost that keep us mid table.

Some of those losses where really unlucky and from stupid individual mistakes. Only game this season I really felt we played like **** was the first game against Villa. Other than that we have been in every other game. Well, onwards and upwards.

 

[Lady_Gooner]

Yeah, people are being too negative. Especially since the same people expected us to be smashed by 4+ goals.

1-0 to a rising City is our least embarassing loss this season.

The reason we lost by 1 goal isn’t because of our defending though was it
City just couldn’t be bothered

 

[OnlyOne]

Sterling forgetting how many chances he had.

 

[al-Ustaadh]

Go back to the 3-0 loss to City last season at home and compare it to this - night and day difference. We played pretty well today. Just need to come out of the gates faster.

 

[Mo Britain]

Everton show some effort even if thier goal was fluke we didn't show anything at 2nd half

So what did this amazing City team show in the second half exactly? Moss was their best player.

 

[Rex Stone]

Pep’s got these City lads drilled. First thing Sterling said is how great Mikel and his team were

Wants those easy six points for a while.

 

[yorch44]

Piss off.

Pito chico

 

[Raicore]

Arteta gifting Pep the win so City can become champions again

 

[mpower2540]

Surprised we didn’t give them a guard of honour when they left

 

[BigPoppaPump]

Some unreal burger joints around mine, we'll have to grab one when you come up next weekend after you take me to fat camp.

Yeah but you tried them all knowing your fat ass, I have yet to test the ones on uber eats.

 

[squallman]

We were playing the best team in the league though, a team we haven't beaten in this comp since 2016.

And? People say stuff like this as if City/whoever win 38 league games a season and it's impossible to get a result against them. I don't care if we're playing the reincarnation of Brazil 1970. A loss at home is never acceptable, ever.

Watford ended Liverpool's unbeaten run when it looked like they might go the whole season. They didn't go "Well we're playing the best team in the league lads" and give up.

You support Arsenal, not Fleetwood Town.

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

So what did this amazing City team show in the second half exactly? Moss was their best player.

Nothing that's why I'm bit frustrated by this we could have show more maybe created more

 

[African Flair]

@BigPoppaPump ’s lecture on how to be a responsible grown up was the highlight of the whole thing. I learned a lot anyway

Shame I missed that enlightment.
