They need to get the confidence in this team back.
Ozil's done f*** all today, too.
He and Giroud need to take a long, hard look at themselves.
Worst thing is that we've made Pellegrini look like a good manager today. FFS
Merts!
Merts scores. We should have had 6 but there you go.
One good thing - shiity look vulnerable without the ref.
Its been coming. This is the best chance we have had for years to win the league while other teams are supposedly in transition, and in the big tests we have been found wanting. Again. If we are honest, recently we have been falling off and I am worried that we are going to find our real level by January - and that level is still top 4 rather than league winners.
We have been well beaten today. Were beaten against a shitty Manure and have never won against Mourinho. Do victories over Liverpool and Dortmund really change the perception that we are also rans?
Milner in the box - LOL
Two clear onsides ruled offside.
Two levels, including a goal, ruled offside.
One penalty not given.
But nothing will be mentioned.
The fact that we've had enough chances to win ourselves is besides the point.
MERTESACKER!!!
Would have been a late flag if it went in.
We've now scored more goals at Etihad thaneveryone else combined. Add the other two we should have had and the penalty and we'd have drawn this 6-6
Gnabry thinks he's in the training ground <_<
Yes - he cheated. Left his foot in again. His one skill.
Pelanty. WTF?
6-3
:lol:
6-3. Whoops.
Another massacre at the Emirates next week
Arsenal :rose:
Pure circus - stick RvP in the team and we walk this match.
Milner - penalty area - what else?Quote:

Just got in, looks like a good match, shame about the score, who got the goals?
Scratch that just seen the goalscorers on the bbc.
Nothing ludicrous today unfortunately - just routine cheating.Quote:

Sheer stupidity.
No. We have been outclassed and shown up. We are not good enough to impose ourselves, even when league leaders. Even Manure bossed us. We are marginally better than Everton, perhaps, Liverpool are still naive and we can exploit that. But a proper, balanced and motivated team, like Citeh is - like Napoli were on Wednesday - like Chelsea were in the Capital One Cup - will beat us 9 x out of ten.Quote:

Didn't see any of the match, not surprised at the result as expected to lose to be honest, bit surprised at the score though considering our defence is suppose to be watertight.Quote:

I'm not denying we gave them the goals - but which of the offsides I'm refering to weren't?Quote:

You do if you give them freebies all fucking game. Stupidity.Quote:

It was pretty blatant stuff, but fully expected. Rather obvious why their home record is so good but they can't get a sniff away. Doesn't excuse our lack of finishing which was enough to get the points today. Doesn't excuse our defensive lapses. This will be played up as a great performance by them but it was nothing of the sort, on on-form striker would have slaughtered them today. They are very poor at the back.Quote:

Giroud should have had a hattrick. His best finish was when he buried it having been incorrectly ruled offside.Quote:
