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

[branny]

Still don't like Cancelo at right back.

Looks like he's running in treacle. Tough few days, perhaps sub him for Walker.

I don't think he's great at the defensive side of the game to be honest.

[john@staustell]

Arsenal fullback got Sterling in his pocket

Doesn't help that he can't control a ball

[blues2win]

A half time bollocking from Pep. Arguably Gundogan for Kevin Walker on and Cancelo to swap flanks.

[PeterParker]

Very annoyed with Gabby, he looks like a passenger in this team. Brings zero, had a fantastic start of the season, the went to utter shit, except the PSG game.
Same old predictable as fuck.

I'd put Sterling on the right

[blues2win]

One big positive. We’re still in the match. It could have been worse.

I'd put Sterling on the right

I'd just take Cancelo and kdb off

Just the way I see it too

[Beefymcfc]

I wonder if Cancelo is still not 100% focused after what happened the other night. He looks very poor today.

Understandable that he wanted to play but not sure we should’ve let him travel.

[Outcast]

We'll win this the ugly way

why did Mahrez just waste 30 seconds and then deliver that crap instead of tin tin ? idiot.

[s1ty m]

I admire your optimism. Zero shots on target thus far.

Gundogan, Walker and Grealish for KDB, Cancelo and Jesus.

[Sideshow Bob]

kdb, bernie, jesus, cancelo all poor. sterling was sterling.

[Tokyo Blue]

One big positive. We’re still in the match. It could have been worse.

Aye. Long way to go yet.

[stevefromdonny]

we really need to do fucking something, arsenal are playing like fire, we, on the other hand, are not stringing 2 passes together,

get walker on and if need be put palmer on, he can't be any worse than a few of them, oh and stop fucking going back when we have the ball near the pen area, just put balls in to the area

[blues2win]

The Dias miss from Sterling’s delivery very costly. Arsenal are defending very well. Need someone to unlock the defence. Joao either swaps flanks with Walker or comes off. Gundogan probably our best bet for creating more chances.

exactly. can’t afford to miss gilt edged chances like that

[Sideshow Bob]

gundo not the answer imo. we need more energy and cover.

[Beefymcfc]

Difficult watch but one that isn’t totally unexpected considering the teams and recovery time. Arteta has got them playing to a high tempo and when they can counter (at home) at such speed, the energy they bring just blows us away.

Got to be glad it’s not more and hopefully we seem them fade a little whilst we bring those older, more sustained legs to the fore. Or, a piece of magic or, a deflection. Fucking anything will do, just to shut up all these cunts who are in absolute euphoria that City are losing.

[sheblue]

We look flat footed and off the pace.
Will be doing great to get point from this position.
