Man City away. Sat 14th. 12.45pm.

Who missed our chances? Surprised about the defence to be honest as it's been pretty good all season, but City do have a pretty amazing attack to be fair, 6 goals is a shocker though.

Giroud missed at least 3 excellent opportunities. In fact I don't even think he got the shots on target.

you were obviously watching a different game if you thought we could have got the points and saying they were defensively poor when we conceded 6 and it could easily been double

No team scores 6 by playing badly.

You were reading a different post because he never said they played badly.

The you have to ask yourself why in a game as big and important as this we we're so slack, I can't comment as I haven't seen any of the goals but if you're saying we gave them free chances at goal then we clearly weren't up for this game like we should have been.

We don't have what it takes to win these games. Its sad after the progress we have made but it is the reality.

I'm guessing it was Ozil's workrate that was the problem

I'm guessing that is sarcasm yet again. Wasn't my analysis just an observation.

They can if all 6 of the goals were gifts. Their goals didn't come from good play by them - they were literally handed out on a plate.

There is a mental block. City, Chelsea and United are all write offs these days.

No - I was watching the City Arsenal match - it was on BT Sports just in case you were watching SKY by accident.

First goal - handed to them by Kos
Second - Offside
Third - handed to them by Ozil
Fourth - ref broke up our play with a whistle for a non-foul when we had been all over them.
Fifth - Fair enough
Sixth - Dive in the box by Milner

Giroud should realistically have scored 4 - three terrible misses, 1 incorrectly ruled offside.
We had a penalty denied.
We had a stream off ridiculous offside decisions that broke up our play.

That is sarcasm against Ozil.

I don't think it is mental this time. I think our choice of players and method of playing is flawed.

[Bumble]

Good one. Their keeper should have saved both walcotts and think mert might been offside. So perhaps 0-0 then. Nasri missed plenty negredo or whatever missed three giroud style chances.

We deserved to lose. they scored six by your rationale every goal we concede is a gift and giroud should score every time he touches the ball.
