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

[Blood on the Tracks]

Losing 1-0 was not an awful result.

Sure they largely controlled and dominated the game. They're the best team in the league by a mile. It's to be expected.

@DanDare what flavour pizza you getting?

That is just bullshit reasoning. That way there is no way we can lose against a good team without us being ****. We made City play poorly through our defending not from them not giving a ****.

Man, Pep used us to get KDB in form again. They played at half gas. Accept it. We don't even represent a treat.

You have to realise that City are such a fantastic team that they measure every in a pipette down to the last peedrop and decided to punish plucky Everton by beating them by two goals for challenging them but reward us by only beating us by one goal because we lay down and died.

My goodness, and then we wonder why democracy delivers awful governments.

 

[Plutarch]

Wasn't great. Wasn't terrible either. We mounted a solid defence against a very good - very expensive - team, which is an improvement on recent years. Hardly managed to get anything going in attack, unfortunately.
I don't know why Elneny gets such hatred here, he's shielding the back four effectively, something people used to be crying out for. He doesn't contribute much going forward but he certainly helps us defend. We don't need our player in that position to be great offensively.

 

[AberGooner]

That's insane

 

[CaseUteinberger]

I’m starting to doubt there are many Arsenal fans on this forum. ****! The ****ing Fighting **** forum has more spine!!!

 

[Makingtrax]

Not a criticism of Wenger but in his later days we'd of been 4-0 down at half time if that would have happened to us.

No criticism of you, but Wenger was never 4-0 down at half time against City in his latter days or in his early days.

 

[Wiggins]

You're not going to get much from a midfield pairing of Elnothing and Xhakaka. Then there's the problem of Poopee and Bellendarin. Laca should start.

 

[Legend14]

We played good enough to lose and that seemed to be the attitude minute 1. I think some players are just not good enough mentally, but we can’t drop so many players all at once.

A minimum of 6 more players will be gone this summer.

 

[avenellroad]

I guarantee we will put in a similar gutless performance and lose against Liverpool in a few weeks, even though they are their absolute worst

 

[<<reed>>]

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.

 

[RacingPhoton]

Had a really weird feeling that Pep was going light on us.

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

They didn't do anything because they're confident we couldn't to them any harn whatsoever.

They could have scored from counter to be fair but that thier thing we didn't have solutions

 

[Oxeki]

Raheem sterling has scored home and away against us in the past two seasons ffs.

Why do we let certain players turn us to their bîtch?

 

[Rex Stone]

Ex Footballers are such bad pundits, the guys from the 90s have no idea about the modern game.

Alex Scott levels above while Redknapp just talks about passion and leaders non stop.

 

[Trofton]

Still some tin pot players at this club

What are you on about?

 

[krengon]

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.

Absolutely no standards at this club anymore.. A pathetic performance where we create nothing and City never get out of 2nd gear and people are trying to spin it into something positive? Embarrassing.. Fanbase has fully adopted the midtable mentality it seems.
