Anyone ever tried putting your playing who is best at heading the ball on him?

[HadjiChippo]

Pretty much identical to the goal against Tottenham, can we copy their homework on set pieces?

 

[Tommo1993]

Who needs Odegaard when the can pull the strings like that

He’s a good player, but whenever I do watch Arsenal he just seems to slow them down.

 

[HadjiChippo]

I’m so jaded by Man City’s dominance, I still fancy them to win this

 

[Tommo1993]

Walker napping for goal one, and playing tig for goal two.

 

[Ian1779]

What is Trosssard doing?

 

[Nick]

How stupid

 

[Evo1883]

Man city thrown a bone

 

[Evo1883]

Not sure the initial foul is a yellow , the kick away is the reason then ?

 

[HadjiChippo]

Did that meet the “higher standard” for a second yellow then?

 

[Tommo1993]

Trossard you absolute fucking div. No attempt for the ball, kick it away anyway, seconds before the whistle. Clown.

 

[Skybluekyle]

That is bewilderingly stupid from Trossard

Officials don't do themselves any favours do they. You can easily argue that's a yellow, but there's no way you could say it meets a 'higher standard' that they've suddenly decided to start telling us exists.

How can the Arsenal players complain to the ref about that? Clear yellow card.

It's bollocks, if it's a yellow it's a yellow

Exactly, I’m happy for kicking the ball away to be a yellow and a second yellow, but not when Sky have spent the last few weeks defending terrible tackles not being second yellows because it didn’t meet a higher standard. If it would get you a first yellow, it should always be enough to get you a second yellow. Don’t know why we needlessly complicate things.

Players have got to be next level stupid if they’re still petulantly kicking balls away right now, especially when you just got a booking 10 minutes prior.

Some very odd refereeing in this game. Think you could make an argument that both Arsenal goals shouldn’t have been allowed. The first one probably doesn’t meet the criteria to be disallowed tbf but seems a bit mad that Oliver called Walker over to him, taking him out of position and then let Arsenal take the free kick quickly.

 

[wingy]

why, he shouldn't of let them take the free kick

*have!

 

[chiefdave]

apparently not for the Man City player who kicked the ball away and didn't get booked

 

[Wyken Sky Blue]

Anyone else hate the term 'low block'?

Day 387 of me saying Arsenal would dominate with a certain Swedish goal machine up front

 

[Nick]

Oliver is having a shocker.

Says play on, lino flags, gives free kick

I give a lot of stick to linesmen lacking the bottle to make decisions these days, have to give kudos to him there

 

[HadjiChippo]

5-4-0 is the only way to defend a lead away at Man City whilst down to 10 men, even then it’ll mostly be luck if you somehow escape with a win.

 

[HadjiChippo]

Idiot Trossard killed this as an enjoyable contest

Martinelli playing like he’s a crocked 40 year old

 

[Evo1883]

Not a manager in the country that wouldn't play like this now against city

 

[chiefdave]

goalkeeper injury

 

[Evo1883]

Arsenal are going to try and shithouse their way to 90

 

[wingy]

IDK,will be entertaining to watch if arsenal can frustrate or Man city choke?

 

[no_loyalty]

Arsenal keeper injured (not).

 

[SeaSeeEffCee]

Something needs to be done about keepers faking injuries so teams can relieve pressure. That was so blatant from Raya.

 

[Tommo1993]

They need Russell Crowe, he seems alright while up against it.

Don’t help themselves when Doku did the same and it went unpunished.

Could’ve been a really exciting back and forth game 11v11 with Man City chasing it.

Watching one team probe for a goal and another shithouse and park the bus just isn’t entertaining.

 

[HadjiChippo]

Would’ve given Foden longer unless he’s not fit, game seems set up for his style of play
