***Arsenal v Champions Official Match Thread***

why carnt we sometimes go forward fast instead of taking 10 passes around the halfway line and stop pissing around the pen area as we did then because arsenal are up for this game and pressing well up front

‘Like a team of Street Fighters’. WTF!

[zuricity]

Phew! Could have been a pen.

Fantastic tackle. Fernandinho would have been proud of that. Clearly got the ball.

It was a good tackle and contrary to Keown belief, he did get the ball. But the Arsenal player was going nowhere and thus in the penalty area it was unnecessary. He was borrowing trouble

A fanatastic tackle as TB says . VAR vindicated it.

Still labouring on a penalty when he clearly got the ball.

Not disagreeing at all with the skill of the tackle, just whether it was necessary and taking a risk given it was in the penalty area

The ref is allowing a lot – for both sides. I find it quite refreshing.

That could have been 50/50. It was careless, but we were lucky this time.

[Harry Dowd scored]

Some good defending there

[Sideshow Bob]

i hope they tire bc we are second best atm.

[blues2win]

Arsenal look a decent team but we had two good chances to start the scoring. Come on City!

[stevefromdonny]

we are not at the races yet, way too slow and same with this attack going back all the time get the ball forward quick and into area

[nottsblue]

Been coming

[CTID Hants]

It was coming

[PeterParker]

Deserved. We were beyond shit.

[blues2win]

Yep it has.

[stevefromdonny]

shit,

[Sideshow Bob]

just fuck off.

[mr_nool]

That's been coming. We've been very poor so far.

[Dameerto]

Well, shiiiit.

[Beefymcfc]

Left a huge gap there when tracking back. Not sure why we just strolled.
