#Barclays 24/25

[Bairnardo]

It's funny that it's Arsenal for a second time though, right or wrong. Arteta will.hopefully explode

[Sarto Mutiny]

The great thing about this is that every possible outcome is, on some level, funny

[Sortmeout]

Of course Arteta knows far more than me but I think this approach is a mistake.

[Highlandmagar]

Be a monumental effort for Arsenall to hang on.

[Wee-Bey]

Training exercise now.

[Bairnardo]

City need Rodri here and they don't have him. Arsenal win

[Sarto Mutiny]

Arsenal have well and truly parked the bus now

Gone deeper than a coal miner.

[Bairnardo]

The passing and possession wanking will be some laugh when it finishes 1-3

[DukDukGoose]

He'll be delighted to get three points if it works, but it's a clear sign of an inferiority complex.

Guilty as charged. Does my nut in seeing it written down but actually saying it like that as if he’s Michael Stewart is another matter.

Strange that Pep was bigging up Rico Lewis before the game, saying he's basically the complete player, before dropping him for Walker who goes on to have a mare.

He'll have opted for Walker due to his pace up against Martinelli/saka. Lewis is turning into a fantastic player but he's not as fast as walker

In fairness, the ref pulls walker over to talk to him which meant he was out of position. That's exactly where the free kick goes (from 10-15 yards further forward than where the foul was). City likely don't lose that goal if the ref doesn't pull walker over. I can see why they weren't happy

Silva dribbling the ball away from the point of the foul to the centre circle, technically another booking, and Arsenal taking the free kick from there was suitably entertaining.

Aye, it's a dreadful turn of phrase.

[Wee-Bey]

City's centre backs need to take more speculative 25 yard pops at goal imo.

Genuinely can’t think of a more glaikit looking footballer than Phil Foden.

Cole Palmer, by a mile.

It's a shame Arsenal are quite competent at defending these days. If it was a late-period Wenger team trying that in this position then this game probably finishes at least 6-2 City.
