Gundo will never be good enough for this team

Genuinely didn’t realise he was playing until you mentioned him!!

of course he is , i sometimes wonder what on earth people on here are watching ! He‘s done well tonight , just like kdb, quietely going through the motions.

KDB has had a poor game too

[bigblue]

Ederson has saved more penalties (1) at The Emirates than Cech has in his career

[Scatman]

Arsenal are on points nearer the bottom of the league than they are the top

[zuricity]

3-0 away. Can’t argue with that, but we got so shoddy second half. Collectively the passing was abysmal.
It was too easy for us I suppose but I would have loved to see Wenger’s coffin lid nailed shut tonight and there’s no doubt we could have if we were bothered.
But it seemed like we were under instructions not to commit forward. Conserve energy etc.

Onwards and upwards. Chelsea next to be put to the sword hopefully.

it wasn‘t a shoddy second half at all. Don’t you understand that going through the motions when 3-0 up, demoralises your opposition ? City didn‘t need to up the performance.Anyway Sergio came damn close to making it 4-0. See the game out with no injuries.

Game was done by half time. No point busting a gut with Chelsea so close.

Exactly, 45 mins snore is ok

[blues2win]

The first 15-20 of the second half was poor, as Pep accepted but really we’d killed the game by half time. Hopefully we saved a bit of energy for Sunday

Does anyone remember when it used to be stressful watching a City game? These are special times Blues.

It's still hard to get used to

We were going through the motions and I’m sure we could have upped it but we were not doing it as well as wevyseen before.
Collectively the passing was well off.
Haven’t seen David Silva miss place so many before.
Wanting an extra touch instead of accurate first time balls.

Arsenal were very poor and could have been let back into it with the penalty.

Going through the motions, I’d still expect us to be in control and for the most part we were but it had as much to do with Arsenal’s ineptitude.

Being picky I know. As I said can’t argue with the result. We killed the game first half. That’s professional and hopefully what we will do at the weekend.

Fuckin ace!

[Piccsnumberoneblue]

That really is a huuuuuge win. We need ed six wins and we take on a tough fixture , on paper, and stroll to it. Sure second half was wank, but what a first half effort to wrap it up from us.
What a team.
When not if.

Couldn't agree more.

Gundo will never be good enough for this team

Don't know why you think that Pics, Gundo was superb tonight, slotted in to Fern's position seamlessly.

Went to an Italian in Ashton in Maker field tonight. I know they don't do football. Sank a few Peronis and sort of hid there. I still find it stressful mate. If we hadn't won tonight I would have found the Chelsea game a very nervous experience. Will go there with a happy heart now but things may be different at half time. Old habits die hard!

[dazby]

Only an Arsenal fan should want Wenger gone. With him there, the rotting from within will remain. Get rid of him and there's a chance they could get someone good!
