A win

Really sloppy game.

How many times TAA lose the ball.. lucky not yet get punished for that.

Very disappointing 2nd half. In fact bar the 20 or so minutes that we scored 3, the players looked very tired with many underhit or overhit passes and bad decision makings.
Hope Slot can rotate more in midfield as it is very obvious he only rates Macca Dom and Grav.

overall good performance, 3 goals and cleansheet. but defense need some improvement.

Hmmm anothe edggy win.

Hopefully the league cup next week will be totally diff first 11. If slot still plays any of our starting midfield or attacker, then he might think epl and eredivisie has the same demand, lol.

Salah really needs competition at this point.

Slot reaction to nunez goal. His english really damn good for a foreigner.

Now after few games, I can clearly see that Ryan quality... is on his ability to run with the ball, keep possession as long as possible in tight space, and only pass at the right time...
It is not flashy skills... But not easy to execute and really important in build up

its a long way to go but he kinda reminds me of sergio basquets. another DM with good ball control in tight space. but ryan is a lot quicker and if he can improve his defensive skills and read the game better I'm sure he'll be a beast in midfield.

Jones also did well last night. normally no matter what position he was assigned, he'll just idling himself on the left wing. even last night when come on, he immediately went to the left untill slot told him to stay in the center which gets him more involved in the game. we need him and Elliot fit and ready so szobo could get some rest from time to time.

did anyone watch arsenal gabriel 2nd goal against mc? i saw at least 2 arsenal players "blocking" ederson from moving at all. i thought this kind of goal no longer allowed

Got, but I believe city got only themselves to blame for not learning on mistakes. Few mins earlier, Gabriel has the exact same chance when he is marked by doku. Same initial starting position, same direction of running to the ball, same header position, ederson fall down the same way too. It's 99% identical. Quite shocked that city allow this kind of mistakes to repeat in a game.

I see many ppl saying referee is bias to city. Not sure why though, as the referee obviously help them for the first goal by starting the play when so many city players are not back in position.

i think this is how the tactic works now, flooding GK space to limit their movement.

ref have always been biased towards mc, put rodri in any other team and he would been red carded multiple times. the way arsenal been treated now is the same as liverpool when we were fighting for title. certain rules will only apply to us (now arsenal) but not other team.



i guess this is why arsenal is so strong in set pieces nowadays, have few players completely stop the gk while having 1 or 2 very good header to score goals.

TAA wishes to captain liverpool someday, salah said the similar thing that contract extension is out of his hand...

I guess the main reason is FSG reluctant to break wages structures by offering them (TAA, Salah & VVD) big contracts

Giorgi Mamardashvili was MOTM in his last game. Not bad.

Somehow Dutch and to certain extent, German are always good in English. And some Scandinavians too. But those with Latin (Spanish, Italian, Portuguese) background tend to have difficulties.

This guy is good, that’s why I mention this deal is a steal. But of cos I also never heard of his name before la, lol, until during euro. He perform very well for Georgia during euro.

I watched again the city vs arsenal goal replay. This referee is world class in screwing city for the first goal.

Call city captain towards him -> talk few shits -> restart the play without letting him back to his position -> bam, goal. Topkek!!!!!
