Absolutely loving this

Grealish has been so much better than Doku. Actually beat his man down the line. Fair play

As much as I despise Arteta this is hilarious like. Feel like I’m watching Man City enter an existential crisis

Why are they crossing the ball in? It’s got to be on the ground or a shot from distance from a player who can actually strike a ball

If City don’t win I fancy us to give them a tough game. This will be horrific for their confidence

Such an incredibly dogshit effort this from Man City

Doku is great at running into space and using trickery but against a low block he’s generally shite

Man City win this 3-2 I think. It’s just impossible to cope with this pressure and have no outlet against it

Glorious rage from king creep

You fucking imbecile Trossard

Man City have looked vulnerable on those corners flashed with pace across the face of goal. We need Tonali on those

Arteta didn’t want Calafiori anywhere near him

Rodri trying to make the leap from the PL to Hollywood?

Neville always has his tongue up Arsenal’s hoop. Think he’s just desperate for Man City to not win the league so is always over the top in praise of Arsenal

Have no issue with Havertz copping some heat, up there with all the time great heels of the PL by the end of his career I’ll wager

Some dark stuff will come out about him at some point, I’m convinced

Sosa

Some footballers are so incredibly thick. Everyone knows you’re getting a yellow card for kicking the ball away and the time will be added on. Stop doing it

Whether you get the ball or not, you can’t go aggressively pointing at a referee for giving you a yellow after you scythe someone down in the process. Could easily have done the lad’s ankle ligaments there

Got the ball but that was a ridiculous challenge to make, was always going to be dangerous so no issue at all with a yellow

The Wood we know and love

Good post

Pleased to see Howe giving him some love after the game in his comments. Think if he can grow in his confidence and deliver one or two very good performances where he gets assists and keeps things quiet in defence then we’ll see him completely nail down that LB spot and never look back

Villa’s consistency is worrying. They have a very clear identity and all their players have improved under Emery. It’s annoying as fuck how good they are, hopefully we’ll see the brakes come on as Europe stifles them

I couldn’t be more behind Howe but I’m desperate for a performance that gives the following - Control A sense of our footballing identity as a side Fluency when in possession We have had basically none of the first one this season so far and none of the second. We’ve had some very brief spells of the third. If we’re going to have a top six season we need all three of the above to start happening with some consistency. I’m really struggling to understand what’s going on at the moment and while it’s Howe’s responsibility to get it right I can’t figure out what are the barriers to it happening as I’m sure he wants all of the above and he’s coaching the team to those ends
