Arsenal hosts Manchester City | Sunday 16h30

Coombs

MLS is the best LB in the league.

Claudius

Coombs he is definitely going to next England camp

Claudius

This has looked like a typical City - Arsenal game. So not much to say. Just wish Havertz had hit the target. Even if you shoot into the goalie or defender, maybe there is a chance for a rebound

Qwiss

Dom Yeah Odegaards been way too loose with his passing and he's missing opportunities for better passes too.

Long balls need to stop, we are just handing them possession. Especially as Martinelli seems to be covering for Timber most of the time so when we blast it Havertz is all on his own. And he's not at the races at all today.

MistaT

Qwiss — I’ve been annoyed how poor Timber and Odegaard have been at winning second balls. They have net been within ten feet of one, yet alone one one.

MistaT

Really poor half from Timber.

He’s fortunate to have the support from Partey and Martinelli as he was all over the place.

Bring Back Kerrea Gilbert

MistaT damn. Has his passing been loose or he's getting caught out defensively?

est

So what are the odds on Timber getting sent off for a run of the mill common foul in the second half? Or maybe something more creative by the refs? They'll probably do him for delaying a throw-in or something like that.

Bring Back Kerrea Gilbert

Dom he's been horrendous this season.

Pepe LeFrits

We are always absolutely turgid to watch against City. Working so far but we've Raya to thank for that, we're inviting too much pressure.

MistaT

Pepe LeFrits — we were bang average aside drum one mazy run by Trossard and one from Partey

MistaT

Bring Back Kerrea Gilbert — mainly poor in positioning across defensive responsibilities and offensively. His passing has been limited as he’s only had a few touches.

Also got a yellow for an unnecessary foul when his mark was well covered by Partey.

Dom

Bring Back Kerrea Gilbert

Usual Timber performance. Gets the ball in the opposition half and his first instinct is to look backwards for a pass.

This Man City team have no back bone. The defence is error prone and they've got a slug like Kovacic as the DM. I'm sorry but we should be forcing the issue more.

Lukazan

Really good from Rice for the first goal BTW. Showing a lot of quick thinking and awareness lately. I like it.

And for the Havertz goal that never was

Qwiss

Lukazan Rice has been immense today.

Lukazan

Thierry Henry trying not to piss himself at Havertz miss 😂

Claudius

Seeing the Kai replay again. God. Shooting left was the easier option. It’s worse on the replay

Qwiss

Claudius takes ages to shoot as well. It's like he doesn't want to shoot.

I really think having a CF who wants goals would make a huge difference.

flobaba

Claudius almost unmissable, and He doesn't even get it on target.

Rohit

Qwiss Think both Rice and Partey have been very good and have complimented each other really well

Coombs

Qwiss he's clearly been restrained by fitness this season. When he's physically 💯, he's out of this world. Superhuman powers of press and recovery.

Odegaard is not fit, and still struggling. Managed to bag a goal, though.

Qwiss

MistaT he's out of position way too often. Martinelli is doing too much defensive work as a result. I'd worry that Marti gets tired from having to run the length of the pitch over and over and we'll get caught out there.

Bring Back Kerrea Gilbert

Dom I like Timber but I can't wait for White to return.

flobaba

Qwiss Gyokeres. He would eat the league up. Bet he wouldn't have passed that first one to Odegaard either

Coombs

Qwiss he's just not a striker. He's a raumdeuter with loads of utility, running power, and game intelligence.

But, put him in front of goal with no friendly faces in front of him, and he can't hack it (consistently). It's a totally different feeling and skillset that we just don't have in this squad.
