***city v arsenal official match thread***

[Cocacolajojo1]

Wow, a team that never performs in in X way then suddenly play great against City. Where do I recognize this pattern from?

[gmercer1]

We haven't been this shite in the league for awhile and what does Navas actually do? He's garbage.

This! Has pace to burn yet never gets past a fuckin defender

[Tokyo Blue]

Was a definite penalty. Silly fucking challenge
Bollocks

Which bit of his body did he actually challenge with? It wasn't his arms and it wasn't his legs.

The whole body which he shifted to try and give a sly nudge

You'll have to find me that bit in the laws of the game where "shifting your whole body" and "sly nudge" are fouls.

One can argue far more convincingly that it was a dive, which it was, and Kompany was moving to one side as he was trying to get out of the player's way.

[twosips]

We can't handle it when any two of Yaya, Nasri and Silva is missing. We can get away with one, but not two. Our game is built around how the three of em move the ball and we currently don't have an alternative and we're properly fucked.

[Im_Spartacus]

fucking Navas can't put a ball in. jesus.

doesn't he know that we don't want to win corners. we can't score from them.

That effort at the end of the half was fucking abject, utterly horrible.

As much use as an ashtray on a motorbike today. Get him off for Jovetic and give aguero some fucking support!

[Duckman]

It wasnt a penalty, it wasnt a foul for the yellow.

Cunt of a ref.

Has most assists in the city team. Go have a wobble.

[carl_feedthegoat]

You know what , I didn't give two fucks when Vinnie was out injured for 6 weeks and after watching his shite fucked up performance for the last 46 minutes , I now know why I didn't.

[zuricity]

1 pass forward 3 back! Yawwwwwwn

To be fair arsenal are playing a great game closing down. Not sure how long they can keep this intensity up though

no the are not ! Arsenal are not playing well.

However we have been awful in ball movement from the back.

[blues2win]

Giroud has been outstanding. Wasn't a great match to come back against a centre forward playing at that level. Come on Pellegrini get them playing in the second half.

[carl_feedthegoat]

And as for the Milner love in that he gets from some on here , fucking hellllllllllllllllllllllll he has done FUCKALL and will do FUCKALL if he carries on playing the next 45 mins.

[kennyboy]

A bit sick of the endless smallpassing game, who only Silva can unlock anyway.
Get some balls in the box please. Komps been terrible, cant remember to have seen him that bad ever. Must be a bit rusty..
Maybe Mangala should played after all.

[Tesl]

We look rubbish today.

I'm not clever enough to know what our problem is but we can't pass three passes together today.

Jovetic out warming up on the pitch during halftime

tbf, no one has done anything. only the Ferns, Demi, and Vinny have done anything for us going forward. thats cuz the ball is just being shifted around in the middle.

Perhaps we have been poor moving the ball because they have been like flies at shit.

Their shape has taken silva and aguero completely out of the game

[zuricity]

Giroud has been outstanding. Wasn't a great match to come back against a centre forward playing at that level. Come on Pellegrini get them playing in the second half.

true .... He certainly dives well ! just dived into the back of Zabbs ... no foul ! and does a swallow as he starts to lose the ball against Vince. Vince gets a card .. and Mike " I'm so important, so get the cameras on me " Dean, falls for it again.

Come on, we are gifting this to them at the moment.

[blues2win]

For me Fernandinho needs to do more going forward. He's got the ability to be creative but he needs to show it more. Mike Dean has fucked up on two big decisions so far. Can he please send off Koscielny and Ramsey in the second half. Jovetic must come on for Milner. Please don't wait for 60 minutes.

[twosips]

It's as simple as we don't have the players to play our normal game when we're missing our key attacking players. Milner and Fernando don't move the ball anywhere near as intelligently as Nasri and Yaya. We need to learn how to play a different way when we haven't got them.

One thing we need to do immediately is increase the tempo and intensity.
