Match Day Thread General matchday thread.

Ben Orange coming on. This is going to make prime Mourinho look attacking and it will finish 1-2.

 

Sacrificing Saka is a big call. Would’ve thought he’s the one you’d want as the outlet when you get that rare counter chance.

 

Refs have become more aware of Arteta coaching cheating and are stamping down on it.

 

I respect the 5-4-0 formation. Hope it all ends in tears but they’ve had no scares thus far. City look out of ideas and with Doku and Kovacic on there’s only a few players to worry about.

 

Doku especially is an absolute rotter of a player. It’s mental how much game time he gets for them.

 

He needs to assist or score more often, Diaz for us was getting that aimed at him from fans but he's sorted that.

 

City not really creating anything despite having all of the ball...goons looking comfortable

 

I see what you’re trying to do here

 

The stats nerds will tell you he has by far the greatest distance carried with the ball in the league so I guess the argument is he offers something different but I can’t see it. Thought he’d kick on this season but looks dross.

 

Love the way City give their opponents a false sense of hope to make the league interesting for us neautrals

remember when they gave Pool an 11 point lead once

 

How has he not brought Grealish on yet?

 

This is awful from city

 

They'll continue to create nothing and then score twice in the final five minutes.

 

Give the ball to your worst players to shoot from 25 yards. Should work.

 

Can hear a pin drop.

****e fans.

 

Think city have been awful this half. The long range shooting has been beyond poor, their crossing is rubbish, they are so narrow and their subs have done nothing.

Raya has only had to make simple saves which says it all

 

Arsenal deserve credit too. ****housed when they’ve had to, kept their shape. City have been crap but that’s partly because of how Arsenal have played. A few decent saves but nothing you wouldn’t expect. Stop giving the ball to the one bloke in the team who can’t play. It’s mental.

 

Points well earned here by Arsenal, defo the better team today.

 

This is the thing with free scoring Haaland

can’t do **** unless it’s put on a plate
