Man City away Wedders 26th April - bar snacks

Had to get to half at 1-0

Dumb to have set such a high line

After the last three matches of getting fucked around by much inferior sides, still no ability to adapt and get compact. Not sure what we are doing in training but I'm not impressed with it.

Panda

Really poor from Arteta. City completely deserved 2-0.

Clrnc They're just so much better than us in every single facet of the game. Incredible that we even had a chance to win this league. So frustrating that we bottled it in other games though.

Qwiss

est they are today but that's just because we've bottled it. Were frozen with fear.

Clrnc

est Yep we didn't lose the league here. We were always expected to lose here.

What we didn't expect is to not get a single result past 3 matches. We have lost the league against the rock bottom teams.

Rohit

Don't mind losing. Just sad that we haven't competed better.

Burnwinter

Bring Back Kerrea Gilbert I am both surprised and extremely disappointed at what Arteta has brought to the table in our matches against his former club.

It's not that surprising, really. He's playing the same game as Pep with personnel who aren't as good, bottom line.

Bring Back Kerrea Gilbert

Burnwinter then his ego needs a slap. He's desperate for praise from his former master. Fucking be pragmatic. You have Rob fucking Holding at the back.

Qwiss

Burnwinter Peps completely changed his shape, his varied his play, etc We've done the same thing since day 1 no matter what

Qwiss

Cannon at least Eddie presses. Don't know what's up with Jesus. Nothing like his pre injury self

Tactics

daredevil Vieira got sent off for less at Old Toilet

Segway

Qwiss Exactly. The title pressure has been way, way too much to deal with for this team.

Burnwinter

Qwiss Yes, it's true. However we don't have that flexibility because we definitely don't have the depth or options.

I can't fault Arteta's Plan A, but four matches in a row of us getting whipped in midfield for thirty minute periods because he can't figure out what to do without Saliba (supposedly) is three too many.

Qwiss

At the end of the day, Arteta gained major traction this season because he copied Pep.

Pep is the originator of his ideas and a huge reason for our success this season. Unfortunately, Pep has evolved his style and strategy and it's superior to ours and his previous style.

They have better players and better tactics. It was always going to be a huge task to beat them.

Segway

Lucky to only be behind by 2. We simply haven't showed up today.

Cannon

Frankly it our fault. Those draws were so bad!

KingslandBarge

Saka playing vs Ukraine was sure great for his development

Rohit

We can't buy a win right now. I doubt we will be able to take it to the penultimate/ last matchday from hereon.

MistaT

Trossard on, for Xhaka or Jesus

Go to a 3-5-2 with Partey and Gabriel central surrounding Haaland

Get Saka/Martinelli narrower, we’ve done nothing to find them wide.

Qwiss

Burnwinter I don't think things would be much different with Saliba. That's a convenient excuse. This bout staying calm and professional. We haven't for the last 4 games.

Gazza M

shambolic stuff. I hate that it's boiled down to us not even competing properly. we became the old scared arsenal that for a brief time seemed like a memory. I don't know if the manager and players just burned through all their belief in the last month, or if we were in an artificially high position, but this implosion demands a big inquisition because I don't think it ends here. we don't look capable of winning many of our remaining fixtures, it's gotten that bad

Cannon

Arteta needs to make changes at half time.
