Loss Premier League: Manchester City 4 - 1 Arsenal | Wednesday 26th, April | KO: 20:00 BST | BT Sport

Last night was not good enough and we must not repeat the mistakes we made if we must get a result here. Even a draw will be good enough.

We just need to abandon our principle but you know Mikel will never do that. He's so obsessed with winning his own philosophy rather trying to be pragmatic.

Even Pep sacrificed possession when they came to the Emirates earlier in the year. We have to pragmatic. We have to protect Holding like a group of wildebeest would protect their youngest calf.

Prediction

Man city 0-1 Arsenal

COYG!

 

[Monstar-Gunn4r]

Could have well been 4 or 5 up if not for some brave saves by Ramsdale.

Him and White the only ones showing something, the rest of players are ghosts, like deer in headlights.

Second half will get ugly.

Fk that every shot other than one was bread and butter for a keeper including the one he didnt save.

 

[GDeep™]

Is there any point crying about Holding? He’s playing because of multiple injuries. He’s probably the 5th choice best in the league.

 

[MutableEarth]

This is annoying - City really don't look unbeatable to me yet we're so submissive to them.

 

[dka1]

I'd suggest bringing off Holding for Jorginho and moving White to CB and Partey to RB but then I remember that Partey has actually been our worst player.

Our problems are partly due to Holding not being able to pass but tbh I don't even know if he's been the main issue, the whole team has been dogsh!t.

 

[Ash10]

They’ve made us look bad.

This is their press at it’s peak with a home crowd supporting them.

They can’t and don’t do this every week but when they defend like this you have to be absolutely elite at playing out from the back.

Holding, Xhaka, Ramsdale and maybe even White have been exposed.

This tbh

We really can't do anything here. Totally nullified

[Lady_Gooner]

I can’t believe the half we’ve just watched and there is talk about referee bias lollll

 

[andeoch1]

Disgraceful performance from everyone on the field and that includes Arteta ,

 

[OnlyOne]

No one wants to hear it but Rice is having another unreal game vs Liverpool.

 

[SA Gunner]

It's incredible it's only 2-0 they have absolutely eviscerated us.

Overloads everywhere on the pitch, its mad.

 

[HollandGooner]

Holding btw, has genuinely been hilariously bad

Told everybody that Saliba is a big big miss in every aspect, but we all knew that. and ofcourse Holding should not be blamed for the points we dropped against Wham en Sout.

 

[amigo]

SWP is analysing on TV that we are neither dropping deep enough or pressing so allowing them the freedom of the midfield.

 

[lomekian]

This is annoying - City really don't look unbeatable to me yet we're so submissive to them.

This is the most intensity City have played with in 12 months. This is the impact of oil money - can coast and rotate for 90% of the season and save the full intensity for the 3 or 4 games a season they need it

I'd suggest bringing off Holding for Jorginho and moving White to CB and Partey to RB but then I remember that Partey has actually been our worst player.

Take off Xhaka, move Partey up to where Xhaka is, bring on Jorginho.

 

[CaseUteinberger]

@CaseUteinberger can’t even play his conspiracy card here.

Mate, you are so lame often... Why do you even bother?

Anyhow, glad you enjoy seeing us on the ropes!

 

[2Smokeyy]

@2Smokeyy they finally turning on Casper?

No surprises. He’s been a complete shadow of his former self. Says a lot when his former self was being labelled Casper.

 

[Tir Na Nog]

Go all out or try to keep the score down?

Multiple is 2?

 

[Sanchez11]

All the bs from we have learned from the collapse of last season. Fvck it il take 2nd, this guy needs 4 signings and be less rigid ffs.

 

[Paperino]

This is a theme since Teta joined.
