Arsenal Vs. Man City (League Cup Final) 430pm BST 22 March

Had we gone out in the first round, we would have at least +4 points in the league, and would have been done with it. But whatever

Coombs

Tactics even more so

tazmania ah no Cali was a positive

I am not talking about playing from the back. I am talking about taking the piss while doing it. Kepa had ball at his feet for 30+ seconds a few times until we conceded a goal. This fucking around didn't work against fucking Wolves, it didn't work in previous seasons when our build up was extremely slow and why would anyone think it would work today is just beyond me. This team cannot fo it because our midfield is poor at passing. We had numerous examples of it.
And there is also additional argument, whenever we play to do not lose, we do. Every single time.

Don Pacifico

swider I'm not sure I follow tbh. I don't think we were taking the piss, I think we were trying to lure City into breaking their shape. Clearly it failed but our passing has also been indecisive for large portions of the match which has them compounded the issue.

Don Pacifico

Burnwinter he's looked increasingly nervy on the touchline over the last couple of weeks. Hope he doesn't have slow meltdown coming out of this match.

Burnwinter

Don Pacifico His weakness is his much-vaunted resilience, means he's slower to be affected by the truth of events than some of his peers. It plays out as dogmatism and the lack of a clear ethos at times like this.

tazmania

Tactics what did we do today?

Lukazan

Qwiss Really does always feel like Arteta's "fuck this, on to the next game" move.

IBL

2 weeks to lick our wounds and come back strong.

Qwiss

tazmania the subs have been horrible. Martinelli should have come on first. Trossards not been in it at all.

Coombs

Don Pacifico just ain't true

Lukazan

Lmao that was incredible by Jesus, it really was.

Gazza M

city have their flaws, but they proved my point about what a superior attacking team they are. look at their spacing, attacking transition and one-touch football compared to ours. our players are miles apart from eachother and incapable of controlling the long passes that are bulleted at them

Burnwinter

tazmania Our subs made us so much worse which is crazy

Makes sense when you realise every player we've got was praying Arteta would sub Raya on after Kepa came and flapped at that ball to Doku. When he didn't come on shoulders dropped.

That's what's going on here, the lack of rational courage we can see is also evident to the players on the pitch.

Guardiola has totally figured out how to nullify our passing patterns, and we haven't adapted at all.

USArsenal

Gyokeres throws himself down in the box to try to get the pen. Ugh.

Gazza M

first time we find saka between the lines

in the 87th minute

disgraceful

Don Pacifico

Still not convinced that Cherki is anything other than a showpony.

Qwiss

Don Pacifico when he gets 2 footed by someone I won't feel bad for him.
