Manchester City v Arsenal, 20:00 BST (26/04, BT Sport)

[21_GOONER_SALUTE]

It’s not even close to being a contest this game.

What a sad ending to such a promising season.

This is the real sad thing about tonight.

Not even made their keeper work once.

Despite what people might say, looking at the 2 teams I haven't seen much of a mismatch...the main difference is one team is clearly confident and mature and the other is just shitting bricks for no fucking reason!

Even if they had won this game, their was no assurance or confidence that they would win the league so why are they so fucking scared ??!

It's really sad, and I keep saying it that the nervousness of the manager is what is getting to these players.

We need someone handling this team who is fucking confident and able to think beyond a silly "system".

Its sad as Citeh have not moved up a gear and we've fawned over them like a pack of skirts.

Pathetic.

I sadly just cannot see what we could have done here.

This side are just miles better than us in almost every position

Right. I wouldn’t particularly say we’ve played badly, we haven’t been allowed to play at all.
City are just too good for us. We all knew it before the game.
And we know how they’ve “achieved” it.
As I may have said, fuck them.

Commentators keep saying we need to keep a lid on our emotions - why?

We did nothing in that half but at least we were cold during most of it and look what we did.

Absolute jack.

This is a side that has our number.

I hate to say it but yes we are playing poorly but there is not a team in Europe I would necessarily back to come here and do much better

If you look at them lately they are not only scoring at will they are not conceding, not conceding goals…barely conceding chances apart from to teams like Bayern who they also duffed up

I just don't accept you can't be more competitive in a game.

I don’t think it’s a stretch to say there isn’t a better team in the world than City.

Doesn’t make our collapse any less horrible but it is what it is.

They remind me of peak Barca. It’s like they’ve got 15 players on the pitch.
You just can’t get into a rhythm because they’re pressing and on you at every pass.
And then they just pick you off at will.
It’s relentless.
I’m not going to lose my shit over this result, let’s just pick things up, finish 2nd and try and sign the right players in the summer to improve the squad where it needs improving.

Has anyone been when City are in the mood?
They demolished Bayern. They’re just a different level.

It’s not a coincidence that we’ve lost to them what will now be 12 times in a row. We cannot deal with being pressed and that’s even when we have the personnel to play the system we want.


Where’s there’s not a lot of mismatch is between Arteta and Guardiola…they both have the same strengths and the same flaws

If Guardiola was managing us and Arteta was managing City, we’d still be losing

[HCZ_Reborn]

City are magnificent at doing the thing we struggle most with, the high press. That first half….they’ve pressed us all over the park to the point where we are scared of losing the ball and being countered
