Was hoping for a City win but was that from them? Sitting deep. Long balls. 33% possession.
Felt like they wanted Arsenal to score and once they conceded they suddenly started to play football again.
Definitely not afraid of City. They are struggling already and it will continue when the games come thick and fast.
Iāll be on the naughty list ā¦for misinformationā¦
I donāt think Arsenal will struggle in attack and definitely not at the back. Can they challenge us for the title until the end of the season? Arsenal are great in ābullyingā the āsmallerā teams - even when the games come thick and fast. They have a very good squad I and think they will get close to more than just one trophy.
Their problem are once again the big games. They already dropped points against us and City. Next week going to Newcastle and might struggle but after that I expect them to go on a good run.
I was just going there. Not sure what it is with these Spanish types that believe in non-consensual kissing. I wonder is this is the real reason Stevie felt Rafa was lacking affection.
Yet last season they struggled to put a good long run of wins together, drawing or losing games they were expected to win with regularity. Perhaps they have found a way to counter that problem this season, but itās too early to be sure.
Theyāll bully teams in setpieces. Any teams which are used to those routines are gonna find it easier to take points off of them.
Man United outplayed them. I mean this shit Man United team outplayed them. They had an easy go against Leeds (who basically are relegation fodder) and Forest (With Ange). The minute they got matches against us and City, they went back into that stupid defence first mode. This after having the most expensive squad in this season. Absolute idiocy. You donāt win the league with that kind of mindset.
Arsenalās bench strength is insane in every department. To startt with 3 CBās and 3 DMās in this match is cowardice. Eze should have started as a #10.
Newcastle away will be interesting. As set pieces is not something I can see them being bullied on.
Not sure Newcastle will score too many goals considering weāve taken Isak and Ekkers from them but yeah, they wonāt be bullying the likes of Guimares etc at St James Park.
Iāve had a theory since forever that we do well in the season if we beat Chelsea, especially away. Form aside, thatās always one fixture Iām dreading. However, letās see what the lads come up with at Crystal Palace, that is always a difficult game.
They never had HUGOā¦and you put that Ekkers stuff away right now son, or Iām gonna get the belt!
Arsenals longest winning run last was 3 games.
But nothing changed when the changes were made City werenāt exactly hanging on.
Itās about conveying the intent. Arteta with that lineup is basically saying that heās happy with a draw.
Didnāt we get beat 3-1 there last season?
I know we had won the title then like.
It was the game after the title win.
But we beat them at home early in the season - and they probably played the best football a visiting side played at Anfield last season (yeah, that includes the defeat against Forest).
BTW, happy to see that you still have your record collection.
If you take away the relegation fodder they have 2 goals from 3 games and 6 shots on goal.
Not hard to replace Gyorekes. There are plenty of championship level strikers.
