Manchester City vs Arsenal - Sunday, 31 March, 4:30 pm

awooga83

In the context of City a good away really but in terms of the title I think our path is probably going to cost us and it's looking like Liverpool are emerging as the team that night take advantage.

Coombs

awooga83 I mean, they barely scraped a win against a shit Brighton who were basically begging for them to score, and now they're favorites?

Big Willie

Hopefully United and Villa can do the business for us over the next week.

DiabyKungFu

Clrnc Haaland has recorded a grand total of 0.00 xG in his last 4 matches against us.

He had 0.28 xG today.

Clrnc

DiabyKungFu Zero shot on target* stand corrected

Burnwinter

DiabyKungFu Wonder what for because he got pocketed.

Qwiss

goon we will need to rotate him and Jorge for the run in.

Tomi looked very rusty. He needs to come off the bench a few times before he starts I think.

Clrnc

Qwiss The next match is Luton, I will play Partey and Tomiyasu.

awooga83

Coombs based on the remaining fixtures for me yes. They may be riding their luck but they've been able to get the results and they now have far now games I'd expect them to win whereas I think they're is likely 3-4 games we might drop some points without any curve balls

Clrnc

City has scored in their last 57 matches at home. This is their first blank.

MistaT

Clrnc — may have been the over watered pitch. You could see how many players were slipping and how the ball was rolling slow.

Bring Back Kerrea Gilbert

Best we can hope for is ManUre nicking a point off Pool on 7th April.

Doesn't seem very likely given how trash they are.

Clrnc

Bring Back Kerrea Gilbert It's at OT and they just won there in the FA Cup recently. Anything can happen

Burnwinter

Bring Back Kerrea Gilbert Best we can hope for is ManUre nicking a point off Pool on 7th April.

Meh, Liverpool aren't going to close out the season with one hundred per cent points.

I liked today's performance.
I felt we proved there's a lack of ideas at City. Pep throws on his wide men and neither of them does anything. Haaland crying and not getting his shots away. De Bruyne crying.

Sicario2 - Tier 1

Bring Back Kerrea Gilbert

Given our goal difference all we need is Liverpool to draw one game and we are back on top assuming we keep winning

DiabyKungFu

goon Partey looked good when he came on. Would like to see him start vs Luton.

Partey looked fine but I think Luton at home is a good time to go back to the 5 attackers lineup with Zinchenko at leftback.

goon

DiabyKungFu

I wouldn’t be against giving Rice a breather to be fair. He looked shattered by the end of the game and it’s probably our last chance to give him a rest.

Qwiss

Clrnc he had 4 shots, is there such a thing as a zero xg shot?

Qwiss

Clrnc I wouldn't underestimate Luton. They're a handful.

Clrnc

awooga83 Liverpool are extremely good against teams outside of the top 6. If I am not mistaken they only dropped points against Luton. Flat track bully

In fact they have only lost 2 games all season long while suffering many injuries. If they win their last 9 remaining games tough luck for us

Doc

I'll Take that

RocktheCasbah

That's a brilliant defensive performance and point. If we can do it there, we don't have to be afraid of any ground in the country.

Don Pacifico

RocktheCasbah I think that tells you where we need to invest this summer. We need more attacking options than we have right now - and not a Trossard level signing, we need someone who opposition defenders have nightmares about.

Sicario2 - Tier 1

RocktheCasbah
It’s a great point but looking back I think we could have taken a few more risks. Will we ever get a better chance of beating city than yesterday? Think they were for the taking

MistaT

goon — saw Odegaard tracking back faster than Rice.

Panda

Draw is a good result. 4pts from Liverpool and 4pts from Man City is a great return and these matches won't be the reason we lose it, if we do.

9 games left, win them all and see what happens. That has to be the target now.

Clrnc

Bernardo Silva post match:

"Arsenal are a top top team. We already knew it before the match. It was a very tough match. When we have the ball, they backed off us and when we progressed forward they will go very tight to us. I think a draw is a fair result, it could have gone both ways. We weren't dominant, Arsenal are a top defensive side. We could not create any chance today. We tried to go into the pocket to create chances but we are not effective today. We have to take a point, still a lot of games to happen. Of course we are no longer the favorites anymore but we will be there if the top 2 side slips up."

RocktheCasbah

Clrnc I thought he spoke really well, quite likeable - which suprised me as I've always assumed him to be a massive cunt.
