Man City away Wedders 26th April - bar snacks

Coombs

est we've been top of the league that entire time, pretty hard to spin negatively.

No need to overcomplicate this analysis, we're just not quite there yet as a club. As these guys improve (Arteta included) and we continue strengthening the squad, we'll develop better late-season resilience and tactical flexibility. I'm sure of it.

People castigating jesus again when saka has been MIA for weeks

KingslandBarge

Thats usually Partey's bread in butter. We've wasted a half hour going into our shell psychologically but I hope we can impose ourselves here on. They will get to spring these 3 v 3s but we need to just role with it and give fire back.

Bring Back Kerrea Gilbert Carlo Ancelotti's left eyebrow...

Rohit

Ref has been kind.

Coombs

Kel Varnsen well, none of them are in this situation, so they can get fucked.

KingslandBarge

Zinchenko is such shit

est

Bring Back Kerrea Gilbert Not set up like this you won't.

We have no midfield. Front three are totally out of the game. It's basically our back 5 against their XI.

Burnwinter

est It's basically our back 5 against their XI.

It's a real fucking problem that we can't shift it up tactically here so that Saka and Martinelli, our best players, are occasionally on the ball.

SimplyThePest

Kel Varnsen 100%. Arteta's inflexible, done us no favours.

Kel Varnsen

Jesus' pressing is pathetic. He offers no defending from the front. Awful performance so far.

Bring Back Kerrea Gilbert

They're going to batter Madrid by the way. No hopes for that one.

Edit: typo...

daredevil

Bring Back Kerrea Gilbert

They will win the CL this season.

I've taken a decade of enjoyment seeing Pep fall out of the CL. But he's finally addressed his biggest weakness, himself. He has no issues sitting back and playing long now, whereas before he was way too gung ho.

KingslandBarge

I want to see proper replay of what happened there - we'll never get one though

Gazza M

Coombs he's incapable of switching up. our whole rise has been built on buying the right pieces to execute plan A. we just have to keep buying so that any tactical naivete/inflexibility on artetas part isn't exposed as much

Clrnc

Gazza M He probably only learned up to a point with Pep. When Pep changes it then he has no answer.

Make no mistake this is not just about quality we have been completely shown up tactical battle, like at the Emirates.

Coombs

Gazza M I'm not convinced that's true. He started off his career much more willing to tinker, but got burnt a few times and it looked much more naive than sticking with the plan. Things will change again.

awooga83

est yeah and I'm not sure what that means about the defence generally, were we really that good or have some things been hidden by a bit of luck.. This consistent poor performance can't is something more worrying.

Burnwinter

Quality intervention from Holding there, credit where it's due.

Rohit

Going into half time down just a goal will be a win.

MistaT

Rohit — for sure

Just foul/hack our way to half and sort it out

Coombs

Wow. How are we only 1 down? Mad.

MistaT

We’re not even competing on these long goal kicks

And it just comes back right down our throats

Cannon

Hook Jesus. That should shake him up!! Also we need to feed martinelli and saka. I don't care how but we need to get them on the ball!

Yes fucking exactly.
