  1. Immense win. Big thanks to Ben Mee for his contribution. Lots to learn from that. Too many players needlessly lost their composure and we ultimately paid the price with a silly red card. But a huge three points, which seemed impossible with 20 minutes to go.
  2. I could understand it if we were losing but don’t get it when we were winning. Let Maupay sit there and waste his own time. Bizarre for Emi to get rattled like that and it fed into the chaos. We had no composure after going 2-1 up.
  3. Should have a good chance of getting that red overturned. Barely pushed him.
  4. We are missing a few players alright but this is hardly our second choice 11?
  5. The first five minutes was our real chance. We were all over them and they looked wide open. They grew into it after we gifted them that first big chance. I still think we are the better team and can win this if we sharpen up. Cash is a waste if he’s not at right back. I feel for him a little. This role doesn’t suit him in my opinion.
  6. I’d prefer Zaniolo in that Cash role. We’ve looked the better team to me but need to be much sharper in front of goal.
  7. Fair play to them for standing up to you. The conversation may have gone wildly off topic but to repeatedly laugh at someone who was expressing concern for the well-being of others, potentially friends or family, is completely despicable and reflects the lowest level of humanity. I’ve been reading this forum for many years but your reactions here are by miles the worst I’ve ever seen. You should be ashamed of yourself but that would require a basic level of empathy.
  8. I’ve no interest in knocking players for one or two bad performances. That can happen to anyone. It was my genuine opinion that Diaby didn’t put in 100% effort yesterday and that his lack of work rate stood out like a sore thumb compared to Watkins and McGinn who ran themselves into the ground in a similar area of the pitch. Diaby is a speedster so closing down defenders should be easy to him. To me, he offered no resistance in this regard and Arsenal easily passed the ball beyond him. It irritated me to the point that I felt compelled to comment on it. No other agenda beyond that and again, that’s just my opinion based on what I saw. Maybe I saw it wrong. Otherwise, phenomenal few days for the club.
  9. He definitely didn’t work his socks off. He mostly walked and jogged after coming on. There were team mates gesturing towards him to track back. To me, he looked like he was either carrying an injury or had no interest in putting a shift in. I don’t want to put a dampener on things but it annoyed me because there were other guys running themselves into the ground.
  10. His performance was the only real downside for me. He almost looked disinterested. He offered nothing in pressing and closing Arsenal players down. Either wouldn’t run or couldn’t run. Either way, it’s a bit concerning.
  11. Absolutely and utterly sensational. A performance that got better as the game went on. To be pushing for a second when 1-0 up was just the icing on the cake and showed the mentality of this team. Thrilled for Bailey. Deserves his moment. Every player put in a performance. Difficult to pick people out. Made City look like Burnley. Incredible.
  12. It’s not really a technicality. The places will go to the best leagues based on merit. Fifth will either give champions league or europa league football. I’d much prefer champions league. And it could make a more exciting finish to the season if there were five places up for grabs. It would be a shame to finish fifth and miss out when England is almost always in those top two spots.
  13. True but they’re hanging by a thread. The big points are for champions league progression. I don’t think they get many for going through the Europa.
  14. It may be fun to watch Man United struggle but Newcastle and Man United going out in the group stages could hugely diminish our own champions league chances.
  15. I wonder if this was one of Unai’s terms for joining us in the first place.
  16. He hasn’t been great today though. He needs to get himself into the game. I think we need to change things.
  17. Good shout. He could cause some problems beside Ollie.
  18. Miracle to be level at half time. Now get Cash off. He won’t last another 10 minutes. Need to massively up the intensity in the second half.
  19. So slow from Digne. Kamara starting to get stuck in here. Need more of that.
